Diva at Italian Institute of Culture

I have never seen a restaurant like this anywhere. I have come here many times to eat. Food is very good.

I’ve taken out some time to write a review for the place that I’ve adored for the years that I stayed in New Delhi.

Diva Cafe introduced me to Real Italian Food around 5 years ago when I joined an Italian class at IIC.

Since then I developed some passion for Italian cuisine and further I had a reason to learn how to cook too.

And my love for the food landed me in Italy.

This place was my first choice every time I was in South Delhi, willing to take my friends out for lunch, dinner or just for a Hot Chocolate or a Tiramisù on a regular day.

Their Tiramisù was and still is my personal favourite.

Chef Ritu Dalmia set some really high standard for other Italian Restaurants in New Delhi. That’s what makes it a ‘Diva’. Literally that’s what makes it stand out.

This place is super clam, relaxing, although the interior is beautiful no doubt, but I preferred to sit outside.

The staff is super professional at the same time very kind.

Overall the whole experience is absolutely worth it.

I have lunch at Diva's once a week and yesterday I had very good Gnocchi with Porcini Mushrooms, Ricotta Cheesecake and an Espresso Coffee. Although I was satisfied, there is room for improvement.

A lovely Italian restaurant, part of the Italian cultural center. Entry is restricted. Membership required

Great cocktails. Good wine selection… if quite expensive. Food is decent. Setting is very pleasant and relaxing. Great service.

By far the best Italian restaurant I have encountered in Delhi. The food is exceptional and the service is good.
The setting is very comfortable and the staff makes you feel welcome.
The only quable is have with the place is the damn Tiramisu is so good I would have to go all the way back to eat it. Damn calories.

Absolutely amazing experience! From the food, the ambience to the waiters, everything was an absolute delight. Special mention: our waiter Mahipal Singh, recommended us food acc to what we would specifically like!

Divas has always been one of my favorite restaurants and I was really excited about trying out the Italian Institute of Culture branch.
While the food was good, the service was terrible. Despite the place not being packed, it took more than 20 mins to even get a menu and more than 45 mins to get a glass of water.
Almost 30 mins after placing the order, we were told the ingredients weren't available and we'd have to order something else.
Since this particular outlet is for members only, it seemed like the staff weren't interested in catering to guests who weren't members. Even though the pasta was great, i wouldn't visit again.

This is an amazing and peaceful place for both indoor & outdoor both are available. It's located in side the Italian Embassy Culenter and onlfor those have the membership of the Cultural Center or Italian Library or students. The food is very delicious and fresh, I enjoyed the coffee there.

Excellent place to have dinner with a formal setting. Really nice and quiet with friendly helpful staff.

Didn’t like the food, quantities were very less. Bland food ordered 18 items out which only the fish was good. White hot chocolate didn’t taste like hot chocolate. Disgusting food I would never give 7000for membership for this place.

The best place to go for dinner, dates, or get togethers. A lovely delicious well curated menu to go for. The authentic Italian taste is what makes it unique.

Awesome but privileged. Only members and companions are allowed rest no outside visitors are allowed. Food is delicious but a little expensive at the same time it's exclusive & authentic. Ambience adds much more than anything else. It's too peaceful and soothing.

Great setting in open air for great food. There were no negatives with any of the dishes we ordered. The coffee and desserts were great as well. (First restaurant that doesn't burn their black coffees in order to get it hot enough).

It's among a few authentic Italian cafe in town. You can visit if accompanied by a member, since this is a memebers only place. Great ambience inside and outside. Some authtentic Italian cuisine is a must have.

Superb place. Doesn't feel at all that one is in delhi as the cafe is situated inside the Italian embassy - part of Italian cultural centre.

Awesome place, very calm and peaceful.

The two stars shall go to the two lovely waiters attending us. Cheese! The Tiramisu has to have cheese in it.

Best Italian Food in Delhi, the pizza is awesome love the lasagne and desserts to, the service is very good. They give a good bread basket as well.
