One of the best place for Italian in town. Great food
Good food,good ambience and efficient service
This is genuinely THE BEST place for a romantic dine-out.. Its located in Jai Mahal but if you see it is kind of secluded from the main Hotel so therefore you can find a complete silence.. Located besides the pool you can feel a cold breeze sitting here.. It completely justifies its name and will not stand behind to give you rich feel.. The staff is super duper courteous and the ambience is just awesome.. The food is also good enough..
My ratings -
Ambience - 10/10 ( Super Duper)
Staff - 10/10
Presentation - 9/10
I gave a try on -
Mushroom Risotto- 10/10😍😍
Penne Arrabbiata- 9/10
The buns that were served with the salsa sauce and the mayonnaise were also good enough..
This will be a perfect stop if you want to spend quality time with someone special..🥰
Overall - 10/10 ( HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
The most amazing Italian food I have eaten. Ever!! And to top it off, the best experience and service given by the most wonderful staff!!
On occasion my birth day , we went to this place as i love Italian.
Firstly the pool side setup made my mood and then the food and drink severed impressed us.
We ordered pizza and bruschetta, both dishes were nicely cooked.
Adding to to the experience, staff was really professional and supportive. When they came to know of my birthday, they arranged a brownie as cake... Which tasted just amazing...and trust me ,my stomach was full but ate entire just because it tasted delicious.
Italian lovers ...try this place and let me know your views too.
Giardino is the best place for Italian in town! Love it
A fine Italian dining which serves home grown food with great taste. Pizza crust could have been less drier. Ambience and the staff were exemplary.

I have visited Giardino- Jai Mahal Palace on last November 2018,the Italian pizza almost in same quality like dubai.but i love the cocktail (mojito)they gave me.and special thanks for chef ravi n his all staff ,there are so respectful and best staff i have ever seen in India.Hat off for all of them.
CHEERS...!
Awesome ambience, hospitality, food and drinks. Ample of things available to pass your time. The best thing I like is their Royal chess. Only name is enough as they do their best to provide the best to their customers.
The place is one of it's kind
Quite famous for its ambience and food but was even more surprised for the variety of mocktails they had .
In overall it was quite a tremendous experience
Food was good 5/5
Ambience 5/5
Price may be a bit high but the place is all for it
The waiters are very helpful.
Poolside dining available.
My favourite Italian restaurant in Jaipur.
For years, this quaint little space tucked away by the pool at the Jai Mahal, would be open only in the winter season (October to February).
Under a pretty canopy, rustic wooden tables with gleaming silverware and golden candle light would welcome the few regulars who knew where to go for the best risotto and ravioli, not to mention a selection of wines that would make you dizzy!
Now, Giardino is a fancy restaurant open all year long, but I have to admit to missing the little canopy!!
Thankfully, the food is still as good as it was back then.
Highly Recommended - The Caprese Salad (the mozzarella will melt in your mouth)
All their risottos and raviolis are fabulous as well, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
Add to that the famous Taj hospitality and you'll come away with your wallet significantly lighter but your hearts and taste buds literally beaming with joy.
An experience completely worth the 💰 spent.
One of the best Italian restaurant in jaipur situated near the pool with a unique view me along with my friend visited. They have a outside seating area with the view to pool they customize your cocktails especially Rishabh who went extra mile to offer a unique experience and at same time. I really appreciate the efforts of chef Ravinder.He is the man can make anything for you he offered some healthy salads along with some avocados that was really tasty and the service is really wonderful.
Italian Restaurant situated at the poolside of Taj Jai Mahal.
The food has authentic Italian taste.
Service is superb.
Beautiful ambience.
Nice place for a romantic evening out with your loved ones
You can simply say , what a charming Restaurant!! A good Food along with fabulous service. Rishabh was outstanging there. Chef came and asked about the Food. Simply outstanging.
A very authentic italian restaurants with nice ambiance and delicious food . rishabh and arihant took care all of us in very hospitable and generic . we ll be back soon.
Not in Jaipur... Rather the best in India... Superb food. It's only restaurant near to pool. Staff...Rishab and Asish ...was amazing. The restaurant manager Mr. Arihant was polite and fantastic.
Beautifull Italian restaurant, with lovely pool view and authentic Italian food . Loved the service of arihant and rishabh . They were very helpful and kind. We really enjoyed there
I went for lunch at this Italian cafe, ordered pizzas and some Mocktail. Both were very good, perfectly made just I like it. The location beside pool and the ambience were great. The chef did a good job and the staff was also very good in serving me.

Pizza has been good everytime I've gone here. I found out they deliver and now I order from them about every other week. Staff is nice and the pricing is fair.
Being a restaurant inside a luxury hotel, the prices are on the higher side. Serves Italian food and is pretty decent and good. Wouldn’t term it as the best in town as the quality of the cheese being used in the food is not really the best. Ambience is really good. If you are staying at this hotel, you can relax at the pool and also the food and drinks from this restaurant.
Expensive but totally worth it!
It was our 1st Wedding Anniversary and we were totally happy to choose this as the place to spend our time.
The property itself is magnanimous and beautiful.
Special..
Loved it.. ambience, excellent service and above all great food..
everything from Pizza (Calzone al prosciutto) to main course ( prawn, pork chop, duck) to dessert (Tiramisu, Liquid chocolate tart) was fantastic. Cocktails were great too..
Looking forward for a rich and an exuberant dine out then this the perfect place to be.Had an incredible experience at the exquisite property of Taj. I fell in love with the ambiance,interiors and the overwhelming service.
I went to its Italian restaurant Giardino and was enthralled by the exotic taste of the Italian cuisines.
I ordered:
*Mateus Rosé...The guy serving us gave me a few options.They had Sula, Mateus and one more variant of Sula.I settled for Mateus;loved the sweetness with a tinch of tangy...it was extremely yummy.
*Pizza
Topped with the luscious taste of veggies,perfectly baked crisp crust pizza is the best partner to go along with wine!
*Ravioli with mix sauce
Creamy and savoury though was a little tangy at first,however,was corrected later.The ravioli was wholesome filled with fresh herbs.
Loved the mesmerising hospitality offered by the staff and the had an amazing time!!
Keep exploring the new flavours and hapoy eating to all!!😋😀
Superb place with great ambience. Food is good but can be improved, I had my favourite pizza. Device also need some improvement seeing the taj hospitality it lacks something. Live music added icing on the cake.
The food here is awesome, the hotel itself is so grand that you really feel special here , we tried the pizza fornarina and penne arriabeta and we just loved it , Pizza was thin crunchy and baked to perfection 👍 overall a great place to be in Jaipur and will surely recommend family and friends 👍👍
My family went to celebrate my cousin's birthday. We had a wonderful time with family members. Restaurant is beautiful and service is great with delicious food. Pankaj & Pushpendra made sure that every thing was in ordered.

We tried the Muscovy Duck, Fettuccini Carbonara and Rissotto ai Fruitti Di Mare and an amazing Californian Merlot wine.. what a meal it was.. amazing to the moon and back!!
Loved the place , perfect for a nice- relaxing meal !
Must try :

A perfect place to celebrate my wife's birthday. She loves Italian cuisines and these guys are master in that.

Went with friends at this place and it was an overwhelming experience. The property is just huge and the restaurant has a pool & garden view that makes the ambience a pure bliss.
#Ambience (4/5)
Walking amidst the corridors, the heritage views, the lush green garden and the pool one reaches this place.
# Staff (4.5/5)
Extremely happy with the hospitality of staff and specially "Abhirup" who made our experience memorable.
# Food (4.5/5)
Food is just awesome and have a real Itallian touch which you will hardly find in any of the restaurants in Jaipur. The Pizza, Fritters, Pasta, Brucheta was just awesome and tasted well. Balanced and flavorful spices added just right, specially the cheese cake it was heavenly tasty ! The cocktails & the mocktails were just awesome.
# Value for Money (4/5)
One of the finest places to eat italian food, chic and trendy ambience in otherwise traditional and classy hotel, friendly staff, super quick service
Pizza was decent.
I recommend spaghetti.
We also had mocktails which were very refreshing
Absolutely stunning ambience. Loved the my always favorite Aglio oglio pasta and some Fajitas! Tiramisu was top class. Lovely view and great hospitality! You'd have no complaints :)
Amazing food and service!! 5/5
What a beautiful place with amazing people. We started our evening little early at pool side. We had lovely cocktails and wine followed by dinner at corner table of out side seating. The food was mouth watering we tried Gambari grigila 5/5
Olive ascolana-5/5
Pannacota 5/5
The best thing were the people who made us our evening so special. Pushpendra and his team was very helpful they assisted us in choosing the good food. Chef Pankaj enquired about food . I must say a big thanks to them.
Everything was perfect. Too many food options to try....menu was appealing and the food was even more delicious. Order was made promptly and expertly. Service was outstanding, Ashish !. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Thanks for great experience, would surely visit every time I come Jaipur and tell my friends and family too.
So I recently visited the Giardino at Taj Jai Mahal Palace and the overall experience was fabulous!
The food was appetising, service was prompt, staff was courteous, and the music just added to the pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant.
Chef Pankaj came to my table and customised the pizza exactly to my taste.
And Mr Rahul’s cosmopolitan was luscious just the way I like.
Keep up the great work guys!
Cheers 🥂
What an experience! Definitely the best Italian restaurant in the city! A special thanks to Rahul who recommended a really good wine with the olives ascolana and chef Parth for amazing hospitality. The red wine infused chicken on the pizza was a first and the caramel zuccoto is the best dessert I have had in a long time! Thanks to the team for an unforgettable experience!
Love the food and service here!
I was surprise when I went here recently it has undergone a complete renovation transformation.
The pasta sizes are big and very delicious. The complimentary bread is too good - you can't stop eating! Make sure you don't fill up as the mains and desserts are delicious!
A renewed restaurant at taj Jai Mahal palace , I am anyways a big fan of Taj hospitality , specially at Jai mahal the staff is super good . This restaurant is outstanding with its scrumptious Italian food and serene seating by the pool . I guess its best in Jaipur when it comes to fine dine Italian , and obviously as I said the hotel with its sprawling lawns and beautiful architecture is breathtaking .

So we decided to dine in at the giardino for our date night on my wife's birthday. The place has been recently renovated into a very contemporary looking restaurant. We sat outside as it seemed a more appropriate setting near the garden and the pool. The earlier restaurant housed in a canopy earlier had more charm and was very alfresco style. The new approach is nice, but I preferred the rustic look of the earlier one.
The food was lovely! Right from our drinks up until our dessert... Everything was yum! The bruschetta was superb and the addition of balsamic made it even better! The pollo marsala was beautiful and super yummy! Delicious sauce on it! The pizza was a little bit of a downer for me. I love my pizza and it needs to have the right texture and the right amount of cheese. The bufalina served was alright but could have been taken a little further to give it that crunch. The cheese was just too much. I reckon they should introduce the pizza from Steam which, I feel is one of the best pizza ops in town.
The service was top notch and we couldn't have asked for me! The attendants were extremely courteous and very friendly. Made the entire experience more memorable!
It is a treat no doubt and I'll be back for more... Not the pizza though!
Hve a grt dinner with friends..Enjyed a lot..The Continental dishes are too go to eat..Lovely place..And the location of the restaurant is awsum fr dinning....
Nxt tym will come fr sure....
Awesome pizza and pasta............must try...............chef pankaj Kumar is the best chef👌👍🏼..........really enjoy authentic food 😊🍕🍝

Wow! What should i tell about this place. It is a PERFECT combination of: Soothing ambience + Great quality food + Great service.
I got the chance to visit here recently and really enjoyed every minute being there.
From the grand entrance of Taj Palace, to a lush green garden walk till the restaurant itself. I found the location of Giardino quite peaceful with a quite impressing architecture.
Service is great, with everyone greeting you with smile and "Khamma Ghani".
Talking about the food,I loved how every dish here was prepared with utmost perfection and quality. This place is highly recommended for people looking for perfect Italian cuisines.

Zucchini filled with shredded ricotta cheese.
4) Martini - 5/5

This was my favorite part of the whole visit! It made me fall in love with this place all over again!! It is a must have dessert if you're visiting this place.

Wah Taj!
The popular tag line probably is true and be on your mind all the while you're inside the palace. It's a piece of history, converted to a beautiful and a very well maintained hotel.
Each restaurant here is completely different from the other and it satisfies you esthetically.
Giardino - derived from Garden, is no different and takes you on a voyage to modern Italy with a so pleasing milieu.
This is a benchmark of what a complete foodie heaven should look like.
This place packs a Café, a restaurant and a small yet amazing bakery all in one.
The place operates and has the menu customized in such a way that it has a different and a more cafe-esque menu (with more little munchies, snacks, starters) for lunch, and a full fledged fine dining menu for dinner. They also have a one of a kind Italian Beverage menu which has some of the top Italian Cocktails.
What I tasted and had is like follows :
1) Amuse Bouche : 4/5 - Zucchini filled with shredded ricotta cheese was perfect to start things off the right foot.
2) Strawberry Panna : 4/5
3) Mint Cooler : 5/5 - Perfect overdose of mint which is what I feel missing from most of the mint drinks at other joints but this was just perfect.
4) BananaENoceDiCocco (Vanilla and Banana) Freek Shake : 3/5 - Healthier option than Nutella, lacked taste.
5) Nutella Cioccolato Freek Shake : 3.5/5 - Let's just say freak shakes aren't their thing, yet.
6) Martini : 5/5
7) Bruschetta : 4/5 - Ciabatta bread with wine ripe tomatoes toppings.
8) Olives Ascolana : 5/5 - Fried spiced Jumbo Olives with Cheese filling, oh god they were heavenly! Probably one of the best item of the meal for me.
9) Minestrone di verdure : 4/5 - Italian Tomato Soup.
10) Pollo al Marsala : 5/5 - Chicken served with red wine juice! Simply amazing the tenderness, succulent joy after each bite was just too good.
11) Pane fritto John Dory : 5/5 - Best fish I've had in a long time. It was so fresh and had a taste of its own unlike other meats which need some marinating to get a taste.
12) Penne Arabiata : 4/5 - Traditional Italian red pasta.
13) Fornarina Pizza : 4/5 - Authentic Italian taste, really good but don't expect Domino's, you'd be disappointed.
14) Pollo Con Fungi : 5/5 - Chicken with Mozzarella and Parmesan was just so scrumptious. Definitely a recommendation.
15) Bell Pepper Risotto : 4.5/5 - Rice with a creamy consistency, it was really palatable.
16) Caramel Zuccotto : 4.5/5 - One of the most popular deserts from the in-house bakery with great presentation.
17) Tiramisu : 5/5 - Wow!, sweet presentation and to top it a finger-licken coffee taste. This was one of the highlights of the day for me.
Save room for this one and this is a must order!
18) Petto D'oca : 3.5/5
19) Risotto Di Funghi : 4/5
20) Lemon Drop Martini : 4.5/5
21) Green Apple Martini : 4/5
Everything from service to taste to variety to ambiance is just top notch and Taj has yet again pulled off a winner, perfect for romantic dates with your better half. Highly recommended for having a buon pasto. ;)

Khamma Ghani 🙏 That's how every staff member wishes you when you enter in this byoootiful Taj Jai Mahal Palace hotel. Giardino is an Italian restaurant recently renovated with the surrounding of lush green trees and a swimming pool area which makes it purfecttttt for your romantic dates & family meet ups.
They serve 'Authentic Italian food' & I haven't had this experience in Jaipur anywhere else yet!
Bruschettas were perfectly crisp outside and it melted in my mouth as soon as I took the bite.
I don't like Olives that much but to my surprise I loved Olives Ascolana which were fried and cheese stuffed olives. Its a perfect dish for olive lovers.
I am a big fan of soups. The flavours of Minestrone soup was just perfect for me.
Penne Arrabiata: I must say this pasta was totally authentic and I was looking for something like this in Jaipur. Yeah! Now my search ends here!! :D
Bell Peppers Risotto: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Please do try this dish and thank me later.
Desserts are just 'maaamaa miaaaa' 😍 Desserts stole the whole show and my heart too! You GOTTA TRY Zuccotto & Tiramisu over there.
They serve good non vegetarian food also. As my friends who had their non vegetarian dishes looked quite happy with their experience.
Overall I had really good time there. I ll be visiting this place again and again for the desserts, Risotto & of course for their special Italian drinks 😍 Chidansh Choudhary Rajlaxmi Abhishek Reeva Parnami
Giardino is one of the finest Italian restaurants in town.
The beautiful ambience makes it a perfect place for dinner
They serve the best zuccotto in town. Must try their Pastas & Mocktails.
Amazing place to have Italian food. We tried Palace mint cooler(Mocktail) Gnocchi Di Ricotta, Olive's Ascolana(Main course), Carmel Zucctoo (Dessert)
This is the best dinning experience we got in this restaurant in jaipur. Start from the well coming.... asked for table said Yes... wheel chair said yes....ask for semi hot milk for kid said Yes...
Then we really feel this the place which people can get everything.
We ordered salad called insalata caprese, Minestrone soup, spaghetti pasta in creamy basil pesto, penne arabiatta and pizza with four types of cheese which was awesome... No words to explain how was the food.
Service and the who leading this restaurant was exceptional...
We will be definitely visit again and again this cool and charming place...thanks to Jai Mahal palace.

GIARDINO has become one of my go-to places when I want to entertain people in a homey but Sunday-best ambiance with good food, dependable service, fine Italian wines—and at moderate prices. It’s consistent, and there are few places that can make that claim in our local restaurant scene, especially in this price bracket.
The menu offers familiar Italian and Italian-American food from several different regions of Italy (mostly from Abruzzi and Tuscany) paired with Italian and California wines. You can enjoy house-made focaccia and a crusty loaf served with fresh pesto while you’re perusing the extensive menu of full and half plates. Choices include traditional spaghetti and meatballs , lasagne Bolognese, linguine with shrimp or clams, chicken piccata , chicken parmigiana or calf’s liver sautéed with pancetta and caramelized onions . Simple and lovely filet of sole Livornese mingles the fish with tomato, olives, capers and a basil sauce . Most popular dishes are Olives Ascolana ,Quattro Formaggi (pizza) , Fornarina (pizza) is on the menu, that’s worth trying too.
Very nice italian restaurant. Ambience is superb Specially in winters. Been took this restaurant is very great experience. Very fine dining service. Food and beverage was better than best. It made my experience memorable. All the protocols are followed here. Thanx to the team of giardino... @
I am not a pizza lover, but the day i visited Giardino I changed my mind, mind blowing pizza and garlic bread. The red sauce sets the standard for Northern Italian cuisine. One should definitely visit this place.
This is a restaurant that is made out of beauty ❤.
The food, the ambiance , the service, the atmosphere makes me memorized.
After going to this restaurant my tummy was full but heart was not ready to leave.
I would love to come back hear and also invite my family and friends ❤
Fantastic food , great ambiance, staff very. Helpful , pastas and risotto to die for. We had. Very good memorable time here. Everything. Was just. Classy. Food , service , ambiance , staff
Chef Ravindra is. Master. With magic hand.
Thank you. A must visit. For. Italian food lover.
Amazing food and service. Best location near pool and must try food and service at its best. A must go place for fine dining Italian food. Amazing and curious staff. Had penne pasta, top notch olive ascolana, broccoli soup and caramel zuccoto.
Will be back soon. Special thanks to chef Ravinder,chef Parth and restaurant manager Mr. Pushpendar...
Loved dining here,excellent service and wonderful staff.About food,it was really good.Had an amazing meal after a long time.Specially thanks to chef Bhawna and Laxman is an asset to ur hotel, beautifully took care of us.
Yes this is called Taj,nice place enjoyed a lot had great authentic food .N very knowledgeable staff with international experiences I would love to visit this place again.
The restaurant is located at Taj Jai Mahal Palace, Jaipur. It is in a quiet spot tucked by the poolside. The restaurant has the perfect ambience for a romantic dinner. Exquisite cutlery and glassware remind you of being at a Taj Hotel.
Was amazed to hear The Godfather's theme song being played in the background. Blackboards with handwritten quotes on the walls look great. The restaurant is minimalistic yet classy.
Food: We had a Pizza Marghertita with pesto drizzled on it, An eggplant bruschetta, Spaghetti Aglio Olio and Tiramisu.
The restaurant manager Pushpendra recommended us a really good wine.
Big thumbs up to the team and a 5/5 for the restaurant.
Had visited giardino many times and recently when i visited they had just renovated the restaurant and it was just beautiful when i entered into the restaurant, the staff is very courteous in nature and delights you in every aspect.
Coming to the food as said authentic italian food , in jaipur itself giardino is the only restaurant service and promising to serve it better in every manner their major ingredients are imported and me being a cheese lover they have vast variety of traditional italian cheeses the menu food and beverage both are excellent and the italian drinks menu as well goes hand in hand
Excellent restaurant

Bellissimo!!
That's the first thought what i thought when i entered this resturant and it remained the last word when i left.
For those who doesn't get it, Bellissimo in Italian means "Very beautiful", when i entered the place, it felt very beautiful because of its aesthetics and ambience and by the time i left (more like "i had to leave, reluctantly") it felt VERY BEAUTIFUL because of the experience it had given me.
This authentic Italian resturant happens to be situated in one of the rare "royale" heritage hotels, The Taj Jai Mahal Palace which fills you with awe with its majestic, timeless beauty.
Amidst all that elegantly classic architecture, this place has a modern touch to its ambience and the poolside just adds to the extravaganza.
Lights are not too dim but they aren't dazing in their bedazzelment either. They're set to this perfect warmth offering a homely feeling.
Getting down to my plate, well, I'll say this much, the team of chefs told us that most star ingredients were imported right from Italy and *I HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT THEM.*
Yep, that's how good the food felt.
Regardless of the place of its origin, every single ingredient shone and made its presence felt as the experts played with those authentic Italian flavours.
BRUSCHETTA
Served on a ciabatta bread which literally means "Slipper bread" because of its shape, and not on a measly French Bagguette, this beauty had loads of veggies with strong flavour from Kalamata Olives.
OLIVE ASCOLANA
As if Kalamata olives weren't enough (they weren't), we had the Olive Ascolana which were Jumbo Olives deep fried. Listen to this again, carefully and you'll know how good it was.. *DEEP. FRIED. JUMBO. OLIVES.*
MINESTRONE DI VERDURE
Tomato broth with veggies and pasta pieces served with sundried tomato dip, garlic butter, foccacia and other soup breads.
The Garlic Butter definitely stole my heart.
INSALATA PANZANELLA
This salad consisted of sprightycherry tomatoes, crisp lettuce, silky and luscious boconcini, fresh cucumber and olives in lemony dressing. One should really try this.
PENNE ARABIATA
Ah this.
You know how we Indians have this basic need of tadka flavours in every damn thing we get our hands on?
Well pasta has been heavily abused too.
This one, however, is true to its roots.
AH-MAZING.
You'll most definitely lick your plate clean.
TIRAMUSU
Tiramisu with Perfect balance of liquor and coffee.
PANNACOTTA
Served with Biscotti. Ricotta with great flavours of berries.
ZOCOTTO
The best of the best
This dessert topped the whole evening and left us on such a high note that we're definitely heading there again just so we can discern so as to why is this dessert so soo sooo yummy.
Although we had 4 servings of this but still its magic was so potent that we were lost and we need more of this to actually tell you about it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Giardino - this place is literally too beautiful, surrounded by greenery, providing the ecstacy to the effing core of the heart ♥
During the day, they run that place as a café
But at night one can enjoy a proper fine dine dinner.
Everything is too Italian there 😄
Ambiance, music, Even the names of the dishes in the menu, and the authentic touch to the dishes..
Coming to the food and beverages we had
- bruschetta - the base was crisp, and the toppings were juicy.
- olives ascolana - fried spheres stuffed with olives
- minestrone di verdure - tomato soup with pasta and veggies, with some really delicious soup breads
- insalata panzanella - salad with delicious cheese and lemon punch.
- insalata di pollo - chicken salad.
( both of these salads were amazing)
- penne Arabiata - perfectly cooked pasta in tomato based sauce,
- fornarina pizza - the base was perfect, but the toppings were a bit bland.
- pollo con fungi - chicken and Mushroom pizza, this had balanced amount of ingredients, making it a perfect pizza.
- Tiramisu - the coffee punch in the Tiramisu made us fall in love with it.
- pannacotta - this was berry flavored pannacotta served with biscotti
- zocotto - probably the best dessert we have ever had, chocolate ball, filled with cheese. Drooling even now.
Also, they have the widest Italian wine collection 😍 to accompany the delicious Italian food!

Located by the pool side of Taj Jai Mahal Palace, Giardino is the perfect place for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and good wine!
The restaurant’s architecture is very different from rest of the hotel which is built in the age old fort. With modern interiors, perfect lighting and comfortable seating, this place is love at first side- the food and service adds to the charm.
What we had :
• Pollo Con Pepperoncino Fritti : Crisp chicken strips. 4/5
• Bruschetta : Perfect taste. Made authentically usinh ciabatta bread 4/5

We stopped in for a late lunch on a cold afternoon after this was selected by me by seeing the reviews on Zomato. After being cold from the outside and looking to relax with a glass of wine and some good food, we clearly found ourselves in the right place. The restaurant was nice and cozy, the waiters were professional and accommodating, and the food was delicious. We weren't rushed at all and were able to enjoy some wine and delicious pasta. It is a nice escape from all hustle and bustle outside - especially during the holiday season. The menu was huge and we had a hard time deciding what to get. Everything was great and tasted fresh. We would definitely go back again. The prices weren't something someone would consider cheap, however, you have to keep in mind that you are in the heart of the city, it is a quality restaurant, and you are guaranteed a good meal and dining experience. When I am on weekend trip, I want to be sure my restaurant choices are going to be worth it and I definitely found this to be. I would happily return after a day of shopping/theater/or just exploring midtown.
Nous nous sommes arrêtés pour un déjeuner tardif un après-midi froid après cela a été choisi par moi en voyant les commentaires sur Zomato. Après avoir été froid de l'extérieur et chercher à se détendre avec un verre de vin et de la bonne nourriture, nous nous sommes clairement retrouvés au bon endroit. Le restaurant était agréable et confortable, les serveurs étaient professionnels et arrangeants, et la nourriture était délicieuse. Nous n'avons pas été pressés du tout et avons pu profiter du vin et des pâtes délicieuses. C'est une belle évasion de toute agitation à l'extérieur - surtout pendant la saison des vacances. Le menu était énorme et nous avons eu du mal à décider quoi faire. Tout était super et goûté frais. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter. Les prix n'étaient pas quelque chose que quelqu'un considérerait bon marché, cependant, vous devez garder à l'esprit que vous êtes au coeur de la ville, c'est un restaurant de qualité, et vous êtes assuré d'un bon repas et une expérience culinaire. Quand je suis en voyage le week-end, je veux être sûr que mes choix de restaurant vont en valoir la peine et j'ai définitivement trouvé cela. Je reviendrais avec plaisir après une journée de shopping / théâtre / ou tout simplement explorer Midtown.
Excellent restaurant at a beautiful Palace, amazing Italian food. Best place to hangout with friends. If at Jaipur and wanna have Italian Giardino is the perfect place. Which means garden in Italian.

A Lavish Italian restaurant which works on a cafe model in afternoon and a fine dining restaurant in night is a bliss for Italian food lovers.
Located in the heart of city, Giardino at Taj Jai Mahal Palace gives you a feel of Italy. The italian themed cafe, which is surrounded by lush green trees also gives you access to the swimming pool area, which is just perfect for romantic dinners.

Best place in town for authentic Italian food.
Would recommend to all my near and dear ones.
Don't forget to try best Italian wine collection
I dine in Giardino with my friends.There was a nice view of pool and heritage palace.Best Italian restaurant I ever dine.Food service hospitality quality and very wide verity of wine and cocktails.
Specially thank you the Taj hotel team.
Super luxury world class restaurant, has very wide range of wines and cocktails. Food & presentation is die for it. We had antipasto veg , came with healthy grilled exotic vegetables and bread..later we order for fornarina veg pizza which was hand made and with vegetables.. We loved overall experience. Ambience is great, try the tables outside has lovely pool view. We were fortunate to see peacocks roaming around that was quite natural.
Great Hospitality poolside modern ambience authentic Italian food. Open for Lunch hours also .Value for money .recommended for small kitty parties
Newly renovated italian restraunt in jal mahal palace. It has a nice view of the pool and hotel grounds. Loved the home made pasta and the cocktails. Highly recommend it to italian cuisine lovers.
This newly open italian restaurant located in Jai mahal palace. Serve very good food and dessert. We tried out few cocktails which amazing and super classy. They have recently built up the restaurant which has very beautiful view of pool and gardens..We love this place and sure this gonna be our favourite place.
Newly renovated Italian restaurant with full live bar and soft music in back ground , we had homemade pasta & dry martini were delightful. The staff could not have been friendlier. The chef came by to thank us. We returned a second time and had the Grilled Prawns and Chicken stuffed with pesto sauce, both excellent.
Nice, outdoor intimate setting with lovely views of the hotel pool & grounds. Highly recommend..
Great setting. The restaurant is by the pool. loved the pizza al pollo. the background music blends really well with the ambience. We had high hopes and the restaurant did live upto our expectations.
Giardino (garden) truly does justice to its name as it definitely is 'a garden of flavours'. I tried their mushroom risotto which is the first thing I always try at an Italian restaurant. I thought it would be made with just regular mushrooms but it had porcini, portobello, shiitake and even oysters. Not just that, The risotto had truffle oil drizzled on top. The aroma of the dish reminded me of being in a Taj hotel. I also had a a glass of Pouilly-Fumet with it and it was the best, most 'complete' meal in a very long time. Will visit again for lunch.
Very nice restaurant. Food quality was amazing. Overall atmosphere was superb. It’s just next to swimming pool with lots of greenery all around.
Great ambiance and selection of food. The staff is courteous. The setting is ideal for celebrating the special occasions.
The pizza and pasta were amazing. Unfortunately, the potato wedges weren't. That aside, it was a remarkable experience.
In a good weather, outdoor seating is highly recommended. The best part is it is not crowded. Good for friends catching up or date night. One of the best fine dining places.
A very fine experience with great service and taste. It is an Italian cuisine restaurant. I tried pizza which was great. Even the complimentary bread side platter was appetizing. One of the best restaurants to experience quality food and finesse.
Absolutely love this place. Have visited Giardino a few times and always had a great experience. It is most likely the best Italian in Jaipur.
The hotel Jai Mahal is beautiful and the restaurant ambience benefits from it. The outdoor seating next to the pool is nice. The service is warm and friendly.
Literally everything we've had here has been great, right from the bread basket to the pizzas, pastas and grills.
It's a must have when in Jaipur.
Food was amazing as was the service. Unfortunately there was a wedding going on at the Hotel and so the restaurant was completely empty. But the food was very very good!
A heritage mention, classic - Italian food and a service to give your heart to 😍 what more can we ask for.
If you are looking for class and luxury in the pink city, then this is surely not a place to be missed. Highly recommended!!!
Amazing place in the heart of The Taj Jai Mahal Palace Jaipur.
Service is amazing and I really love the different types of pizza they serve and the restaurant amazing is quite amazing as well.
Expensive because ofcourse it's inside Jai Mahal palace. Beautiful ambience, beautiful vibe, a nice place with Italian food.
Starting with a very warm welcome. The luxurious rooms were so spacious and well maintained. Staff is Well Groomed & Helpful Everytime Whenever You Need They Will Be There.
If one is looking to have an Italian meal, this is definitely a must visit.
The ambience is great, right by the pool. The food is great, however on the pricy side.
Portions are ample for a person.
The staff are very courteous. Tansu, who runs the restaurant was very helpful. She customized our meals and suggested some of the best dishes recommended by the chef.
It falls under the fine dining options and make for a perfect date night.
Seldom had such good Italian food. It tastes almost like in Italy. Definitely the best Italian food I had in India.
This place is just amazing for casual diners. Service is quick and warm. The staff here lease no stone unturned to make your experience warm and cosy. Food is amazing. Pork steak was great and the pasta Alfredo was just amazing.bi would even like to thank Ashish who made our experience amazing. Ambience is good just located in the sprawling campus of jai Mahal palace and just besides the pool.
Being a restaurant inside a luxury hotel, the prices are on the higher side. Serves Italian food and is pretty decent and good. Wouldn’t term it as the best in town as the quality of the cheese being used in the food is not really the best. Ambience is really good. If you are staying at this hotel, you can relax at the pool and also the food and drinks from this restaurant.

It is different from other restaurants because there are many delicious dishes available here. it is very delicious, you will be satisfied and the cooking is also very good, there is no adulteration in the food. I like it very much. Really good different from other restaurants I have been looking for and very tasty, so I must give it five stars plus any stars left because it won me over.
