Found it to be a place where food is not just eaten rather it is savoured.
Ambience : 5/5 : Rich interior. Undoubtedly very classy. Loved the experience. Food : 3/5 : I wasn’t very pleased with the choice of menu. They could really work on putting more dishes on their menu. I ordered spaghetti which was quite average. Prawns were good. The desserts menu was limited. However, we had ordered pannacotta which was good and very well presented. br/>Drinks : 4/5 : They had pretty much a lot of choices in cocktails. Not to forget the fancy glass and fusion drinks too. Overall, the ambience was definitely worth it. However, I wasn’t very pleased with the food options.
A great rooftop hangout with a nice view . The staff at ITC is always delightful. Relished the mushroom pizza with a medium bodied Spanish wine . If you want to be away from the noise , crave some luxury and don’t mind the bill , great place . ITC plz add more to your wine list. Most places in hyd are offering a better wine selection for both domestic and imported.
Best Italian in Hyderabad! It’s a splurge but so so good
A great place for your otalian cravings..
I visited some time back with my friends for lunch and loved the food..a see thru kitchen where you can see the art of making some yummy delights to your needs.
Sea food soup with cous cous ,King prawns rissoto, and rabbit rivioli were my top choice for that day..
Service is top notch.
A great view to watch for spply during lunch time .
will upload the full review asap
Food was amazing and the setting was just beautiful. The food was just gorgeous, and very delicious. It is a bit pricy though so I recommend it for a brithday or a special event.
All the makings of a fantastic place to dine, step in and take in the calming view of the secret lake as you take your seats. (Insist on a lake view seating when going after sunset).
The spread was fantastic the highlight for me was not pizza and pasta (you don't go to a speciality restaurant for a pizza) but it was the pork belly! What a beautiful explosion of flavours and that too when one doesn't see this flavourful meat often around town!
They have a walk selection for wines which had a decent collection. The server was kind enough to help us pair our food with the wine.
Overall a great experience!

Food was good. Great ambience. Celebrated birthday, complimentary cake was yummy!! Service was awesome... liked the pasta, mocktail and dessert....
Celebrated a birthday, amazing pizzas and pastas. Enjoyed the service done by Clifford and Nabin. Great view of the lake and looking forward to be back soon
Went here for dinner, with family. The food was excellent. Lovely ambience. Friendly waiters, no awkwardness. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
Great place to explore, we loved the food and ambience, thanks to Manohar for his recommendation we defiantly recommend this to others, loved the tiramisu
If you like Italian cuisine then this is the place, premium ingredients and authentic taste, nice ambience and a cozy outdoor setup, with nice view of the city from the top. Hope they add more choice in the menu.
This is a good place for authentic Italian food. The risotto was amazing. Liked the the desert as well. Enjoyed thoroughly with family!!! Very pleasant and courteous staff.
a place to remember for luxurious dining experience. luckily there was no place and Priy suggested us ottimo, though little skeptical but went ahead and will again go back. champagne food and ambience - excellent, I really mean that adjective "excellent". special mention for Akul- who had to run to and fro for meeting our needs, we were 6 adults and 4 children out of which two were infants. ottimo is very expensive but it makes sense to spend on such luxury. keep up the good work!

The place is very good. The food is too. I think people makes the difference to any service, the same is here too with Mr. Pankaj Bidaliya. He is the star of the restaurant and of the organisation. He was excellent in his approach and services. The you.
I would rate it the best Authentic Italian Restorent in HYDERABAD competing with city’s like Mumbai and Bangalor. The chef is amazing and knows authenticity of Italian cosine. Perfect staff. It’s already my third time and it will be the only Italian Restorent I will visit in HYDERABAD. Hope it will stay this way.
Thank for amazing food and great food and cake was very nice thank you akul kishor raghavendra .
One of the best meal i ever had thank you again .
We had a birthday dinner. And it was a really great experience. Loved the courtesy of the entire team of ITC kohenur. They attended us very well and the food was also worth the visit.
Arguably the best Italian in Hyderabad. Been here a couple of times. Love the burrata. The pizza is also awesome. Must visit. Very pleasant staff, the kind of quality you expect from ITC.
We dined in ottimo today for our daughter’s birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed this and this is the closest we can taste italian food. If you like the taste of Italian food i would certainly recommend this place. The presentation is superb and the food is value for money.
Celebrated a birthday at this rooftop restaurant with an amazing view. The pasta is one of the best. We were well attended to by Mr. Clifford and Mr.Kishor

Ottimo by ITC Kakatiya is another fascinating addition to ITC restaurants along with Golconda Pavilion, Yi Jing, Dum Pukht Begum’s, Peacock Bar, Sky Point. Ottimo is the latest entrant to my favourite restaurants list.Ottimo defines brilliance which seamlessly reflects onto their food, alluring ambiance, cutlery, and a breathtaking view. I must talk about the Cutlery for once and all. Everything is so beautiful that you end up admiring the plates, fork and spoons more than the food. And I can't stop gushing about the view. It’s breathtaking and dispels off all your worries. Ottimo has both indoor seating and limited outdoor seating.
We started our session with Antipasti. Then, Burrata Pomodori Biologicie Pesto which is Fresh Burrata (semi-soft Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream) served with Sundried Tomatoes and Basil Pesto. I loved how the combination of Sundried tomatoes with Burrata came along. After that, it was Le Noste Insalata, an Italian term for an array of Salads. We had the Lobster Salad with compressed Pineapple and Burrata (AGAIN). The Lobster piece strewn with Burrata, tomatoes, and pineapples is a dish that definitely was the hero of the session.
There were Raviolis as well, which were terrific as well. For me, the Rabbit ravioli was brilliant as it had the richness of the meat and the traces of balsamic reduction added flavors. Pumpkin ravioli topped with pumpkin seeds tasted equally good as well.
Risottos were my favorite. Asparagus in every bite & sun-dried tomatoes enhanced the flavor and made it brilliant. And then, there was the King Prawns Risotto with Chamomile in it. It was close. Nothing ends with desserts, neither was this session! We had vertical Panna Cotta with Berries and Tiramisu. Both the desserts looked aesthetically pleasing and were heavenly. On the whole, this place stands out among others and I would want to come back.
I went to Ottimo for my bday. I usually enjoy Italian food and in general I am a fan of ITC food.
I didn't know but there was a buffet for lunch. While the spread wasn't huge, the food was delicious and top quality.
Given how expensive ingredients are for Italian cuisine in India, the buffet was very good value for money.
The pizza was a delight - made fresh to order, a full size thin crust customized to taste.
Same with pasta.
There were some starters and all tasted fab.
The staff and service was spot on.
Would definitely go back, the food and experience was top quality.
Mama mia! Perfecto!!
It is rare to give a 5! This place scores on food, service, wine and par excellence in quality of food served! we had visited this place for the champagne brunch and it is an absolute knocker! Moët and Chandon and GH Mumm are paired with Parmesan, burata and crisp salads. The suckling pork is delicious! The raviolis, pasta were just Mama mia! The deserts were just the right bite size and made to perfection. Taste, visuals, wine and service are impeccable!! best Italian in town! Kudos to the chef!
Went here for my pre birthday dinner, reserve a table in advance. The food is okay, the interiors of Kohenur is the main attraction, the place has a super rich vibe. Coming to food spaghetti was good, and panna cota was amazing and he claimed was the best part on their menu and it was.
Zomato should seriously get the decimal rating system back in place. It sometimes is difficult to rate a place purely on whole numbers :)
With great hotels there comes great food destinations too and ITC Kohenur is no exception here. Before the second half of 2018, everybody who was crossing by the lanes near Inorbit Mall had no idea that something grandeur was about it make its entrance there. The curtains rose soon and ITC Kohenur was the new talk of the town and it still is!
Ottimo which translates to worthy and admirable ,truly reflects the word in food! And when there’s an alluring ambience, fascinating cutlery and ONE breathtaking view, you know why its called #Ottimo 🙂. Cutlery is soo good that you might end up staring at plates more than food, in few instances. And then, the view from here gives you a great sight of the old and modern city. This beautiful restaurant has both indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Outdoor seating, especially is a joy for couples who would like a lovely moon-lit dinner.

With pizza love running deep in my blood, I tried their veg pizza- the name which i don't remember as it was highly creative. The pizza was bursting with all flavors. The size of the pizza was big enough to satisfy hunger of two. Coming to the crush was baked perfectly with the tomato sauce base which was prepared fresh. The fresh veggie toppings gave the right balance of taste to my pizza.
To finish off we were given a complimentary cake which was delightful and heavenly.
Overall my stomach was rejoicing and my experience was delectable.
Service-5/5
Ambiance- 5/5
We went to this place for dinner ...
We ordered veg . Food is authentic n yum.
Not very big restaurant, little cozy, ambiance is elegant!

It was an amazing experience to dine at Ottimo Cucina in ITC kohenur on our anniversary. All thanks to Ms. Shikha who made sure we had a private dining experience (we didn't even ask for one) with a beautiful balcony view. The hospitality, presentation, upkeep of the place was top notch.
The most important of all was the food. We agreed it was the best italian food we ever had. The balance of flavours was spot on and the plating was exquisite. And as a surprise the chef, Ms. Shikha (sorry if I'm getting the name wrong) met with us, explained the dishes we ordered and suggested desserts, arranged for a cake on the house. Again, making our experience even more fulfilling. It was an absolute 10/10. Thank you.
The restaurant had a set menu that was served when we went, located overlooking the lake and hence a good view from the roof. Food was good, the presentation even more so. Special call-out for the Purple potato antipasti, toasted bread with butter and the stuffed chicken mains. The service is not the fastest but the wait builds for a full appetite. We faced weird snags though, we asked two of the service team members for toasted bread which they had earlier served because it was amazing, we never got it, even after us hearing them tell the chef. Secondly they served us uneven amounts of sparkly wine, one glass was filled decently the other one was just filled with whatever the bottle had left in it. The experience is generally good. The dessert was also a new experience given the first experience with a sweet risotto. Would recommend a visit on a lazy night where you have time to kill and food to enjoy
I visited Ottimo Cucina Italiana for a semi casual business meeting. We were 5 of us and we ordered goat cheese, two varieties each of Pizzas and Pasta. We also ordered Ravioli and dessert. The prices are very high and the quantity of dessert is very less. Pizza and Ravioli was fine but other items could be better given the prices.
Overall it is a nice place, good quality food with fine dining experience but the prices are exorbitant.
Authentic Italian restaurant in ITC kohenur. Ambience is outstanding and also has outdoor seating overlooking durgam Cheruvu lake and cable Bridge. Ordered minestrone soup amd mushroom soup. Minestrone was excellent and tingled the taste buds however mushroom was equally disappointing. Had ordered pumpkin ravioli which made our day, simply divine. Pizza was usual and have had pizzas of better quality in Rome. All in all a good culinary experience.
Lovely setup of italian brunch .
Varieties of wine specially sparkling wine Prosecco. Enjoyed the evening. Thanks to the team.
An authentic Italian experience. The food; the views and the experience this place has to offer is truly wonderful! I would recommend the Bianca Al Tartufo and the Caprese Di Bufala E Pomodro.
Overall it was an amazing experience. Definitely coming back again!
Excellent variety of dishes on the menu to suit every palate. Especially delicious was the lobster ravioli with bisque, and the outstanding panacotta was simply perfect. All this accompanied by very attentive service from Rohit. Thank you...We will be back again!
Ordered minestrone and crispy chicken. Very tasty. The bread comes with homemade butter which was very unique and delicious 😋

Finally they open post pandemic. Got to try it out on the first day of opening and the meal as a whole was a worthy experience.
Good bread basket and cheese (buttery) dips.
Good minestrone soup
Average margarita pizza
Decent aglio e olio spaghetti pasta
Lovely pannacota
& kickass tirmamisu
Pricing
Cost us about ₹4k for 3, which is reasonable considering the appeal of the restaurant.
Ambience
One of the highlights of the experience here.
Lovely view from the balcony of the newly built bridge and the durgam cheravu lake.
Despite the large central open kitchen, you neither see the smoke or have the smell of cooking filling the air. What I loved the most was also how they had glass walls to make sure even the person seated facing away from the counter gets a good glimpse of whats cooking.
Service
Was on the slower side. Plus, we checked with the staff if they offered milkshakes or could accommodate a request to serve it. To which we were informed they have milkshakes, but do not serve at the restaurant - made me wonder what was the point!
Otherwise courteous and friendly.
We had an amazing time there...the taste was good...service quick...the staff was courteous. As it was my birthday, they surprised us with a cake and flower bouquet... that was a really sweet gesture
Overall, it was a lovely evening!
Went here for our wedding anniversary. Opted for the set-menu. All the items served were great. The service was fantastic. Ganguly was understanding gave us enough time between courses. Spent a good 2 hrs and got stuffed. Must visit place with great views, tasty food and remarkable service.
Great restaurant with delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. The staff is super forthcoming and takes great care of all of its guest. It also has an amazing view over the Hyderabad cable bridge.
It has beautiful view of the Durgam Chervu cable bridge. The outdoor sitting is for 4 max. Menu options are good for Vegetarians also.
