The ambience, service and hospitality, food above all was spectacular and such an experience is rare and hard to find in the best of fine dining restaurants. A damn good choice for two.

I love the food at cafe diva and for me it's comfort food-happy food-yummy food...the only thing I miss is the red velvet (best ever)
Thankyou for the excellent hospitality
Particularly saurabh catered very comfortably
Very refreshing new addition to the fusion eateries with delicious and creative food. Will be my regulars !
The food was great and the portions hearty. The bill was 3100 and it was worth it. The two of us had a hard time finishing these three dishes, in fact, so we skipped desserts. They also served a welcome bread platter which was a tasty munch. From the food we ordered, the ravioli was the best of the 3, and I also enjoyed the sea bass quite a lot. The flavours were brilliant and the combination in the sea bass all came out really well. The pizza was good too, but it would be my third personal choice. Kudos to the team, I'm definitely visiting again!!✨
Loved the Winter Special especially the Bourbon Toddy. Also the Margarita Pizza was exceptional.
Diva. Probably the most consistent and always amazing dining out experience. I have been there at least a dozen times over the past 5 years and never felt let down
Everything about diva spells class from ambience impeccable service and above all the food
I will be back several times more for sure. Hats off to Ms. Dalmia and team

If you are on the lookout for a classic Italian place, DIVA it is.
It’s done very beautifully, very classic and minimal interiors you will fall in love with. The food being from the home chef Ritu Dalmia leaves no scope for going wrong.
Had a mix sauce pasta on request out of the menu. It was unlike the other pastas I have had. Not messy not extra cheesy. The burrata cheese and basil pizza was excellent. Most recommended. Cappuccino was strong the way I like mine. The Bread basket was so fresh.
Must have dessert - Tiramisu. Haven’t had such a mushy creamy with the perfect coffee pun.
The food was amazing even for vegetarians. It is a recommendation for Italian Lovers
If you haven't visited this place, we'll you should.
It's a fine dine restaurant is very quiet ambiance and best in class service and food.
Only one concern.
They play bad with zomato membership here.
1+1 on food doesn't mean you'll give same dish only.
I can order something with same or lesser value also.
But they don't agree with it.
Rest apart amazing.
We had a lovely experience. Menu has lots of variety and the dishes we ordered were excellent - almond covered John dory and cep pizza. Great service by Vivek!
Really great cafe to spend time with your friends. The ambience is top notch. The food is so good you could die from pleasure. I found the food authentic and lip smackingly delicious. I ordered my all time favourite white sauce pasta and pizza.
It was awesome. Really want to visit here again and again.
This Place ambience which is excellent. Service is excellent and person are polite . Food quality is good and presentation is very very good.
Always Attended by courteous staff. Good Food! Selective Menu! Cosy Sitting! Had Potato Gnochhi. Just what i was looking to have for dinner 😊😊
A very relaxed ambience, very efficient and polite service and very delectable food makes for a very pleasurable experience.
Pizza, risotto were cheesy and top notch. The cherry tomatoes were as fresh as could be.
Though I am regular visitor of this restaurant from past 3 years still their quality of food and service to the table is the same . Always polite and generous . For non vegetarians their herb crusted chicken and octopus is a must try and for vegetarian their spaghetti agli o lio with extra pareshan and their any of the veg pizza (specially margarita ) is a must try .
one of the best "PESTO SAUCE PIZZA" I ever had.
amazing crispy crust, rocket leaves on top with tangy pesto activate all the taste palette.
surprisingly staying in arabic country and had plenty of time hummus and pita ,The diva restaurant is not behind in taste and flavour.
Diva Italian has the remarkable ability to create profound memories. This visit was equally great with respect to excellent service , great food and wine pairing recommendations by the amiable Sommelier Sourav. My Romanian guest was Floored with her 1st fine dining experience in India. All in all a great visit. Thank you team diva 👍🏻. We will be looking forward to be back soon.
The tiramisu and cheesecake are out of this world. You get value for money and of course you can use your Zomato gold so you don't run out of money. Diva never fails to deliver in terms of quality and service.

Even discounting Chef Dalmia’s reputation & divorcing it from her brainchild - Diva, the place holds on splendidly in its own right with decent ambience, nullifying the morose plain, tall edifices through which the narrow lanes of GK 2 M block market wade. One needs to sit on the 1st floor close to the glass & soak in with some nice music in the backgound as bonus.The food is authentic, highly recommend the Taglierini & the succulent Ravioli. Handy cocktails & impressive wines to pair the food with. 5 stars but for the slightly dingy smell as you enter first up, which goes off partly due to adaptation & as one goes to the 1st floor.
PS- Much better experience than the erstwhile Asian sister outlet Diva Spiced at Meherchand Mkt
Great food and amazing for a date night! I have loved everything I've ever ordered. The portions are good and the service is pretty good too.
After hearing so much about this Italian restaurant I finally went to try it. After having spent almost 15 minutes reading the menu from front to back and vice versa I finally zeroed in two things.
"Smoked chicken cooked with orange juice and white wine secondly Pizza salsicia with spaghetti".
The food was beyond my expectations as it had the authentic Italian feel not just the way it was presented but also the way it tasted.
The ambience is quite simple yet classy and while trying to enjoy the taste of each of these dishes with closed eyes , for some moments the taste took me to those small typical Italian restaurants called trattoria and I actually derived the value I was looking for. I would say that the Italian inside me was quite satisfied and yes I am again going to this restaurant to try few more dishes among the plethora of options.
Price according to me is quite high this is where I choose to give a 4 star experience but than as they say quality always comes with a price.
I love the quinoa pizza pizza over here. I also like the Asian chicken salad and the salmon in lemon butter sauce. It has a good menue for gluten free people
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Definitely feel blessed that such an amazing fine-dining Italian restaurant is so close to my place that I can go here whenever I want . Having been to Diva multiple times over the years I have had most of the non-vegetarian options they have to offer and have even seen the menu change a few times too . But I have noticed one great thing , my favourite dishes have always stood the time and have never been removed from the menu . A few items have always been famous too and they have a great variety for everyone . The Restaurant is divided in 2 floors and mostly the ground floor is more for casual dining like the pizzas and such items while the second floor is for more of a Fine-dining , sit down place . The service is pretty good and the restaurant whips up delicious and perfect dishes in pretty small time . The ambience is more funky in the ground floor while the top floor is fancy and sit down type . Once a person finalizes their order they are served some great freshly baked breads and extra virgin olive oil with Balsamic Vinegar. The Breads are of multiple types such as Focaccia and Breadsticks and all of them are delicious.
Having said that I can give a few great dishes which one shall try -
Starters -
* Antipasti Non-Veg :- A great Variety of meats and cheeses are served in the platter and all of them are of the highest quality . Very fresh and all have unique different flavours . The Parma Ham especially is one of my favourites due to how thin it is cut yet so flavourful. Lovely start.
* Scallops with Bacon - Earlier on they used to have Bacon Wrapped Scallops and now they have a new dish , Scallops topped with Bacon's . Definitely one of the priciest starters one will say , especially for the quantity which is generally served but they are very very tasty . Whenever we go usually we order such a dish as it is really tasty and let's the scallops shine so well. The new dish has a very nice berry like Compote I would say which is the perfect element to the fresh scallops and savoury bacon bits. It's an amazing dish and is highly recommended.
Main Course -
* Parma Ham Wrapped Chicken Breast filled with Ricotta - Another of my favourite dishes has to be this Dish . It's a very decadent dish and really filling and the portion size is great as well. This dish has 2 big pieces of Chicken Breasts which are wrapped with thin slices of Parma Ham and the breasts of the chicken are filled with delicious Ricotta Cheese which goes superbly with the other meats and the sauce . The sauce is a garlic based sauce which is pretty strong , my dad not being a fan of garlic doesn't like the sauce too much but if you ask the waiter to inform the chef they do reduce the garlic but in any case I really like the garlic flavour . It is served with Baby Potatoes and some veggies so it's a perfectly balanced meal. Amazing dish and really worth the price .
* Slow Cooked Duck Breast with Creamy Mash - This dish is my favourite over here as it is just always perfect in all sense . The Duck Breasts are nice and Juicy , cooked to the perfect Medium Rare with a bit of Pink in the middle. The Breast is cut into smaller portions so that it is easier to eat. It is served with a Red Wine Jus which is really delicious and goes perfectly with the Duck . The Duck is served with a side of Baby Carrots and Creamy Potato Mash which complete the dish perfectly. The Creamy Potato Mash is just one of the best , such a soft and creamy texture and it is really tasty too .
Overall Diva - Fine-dining Italian Restaurant does an amazing job with the ambience , good service and really delicious food . It's definitely a great fine dining experience.
Had an amazing time and great food, our servers Ramesh & Saurabh were very hospitable and polite. All in all had a complete experience. Delicious times
Great food, great ambience and very polite staff.
Especially Arvind who was very sweet.
Must try- the Arabiata Pasta.
Breads in the beginning are Yumm!!!!
Excellent recommendations, excellent service by Ramesh. If you need authentic Italian, Diva Italian in gk2 is place to visit. We ordered Risotto, Pizza and a red wine.
Amazing experience!! And lovely food! Ramesh & Vipin were amazing host! A perfect date spot! Go there to spend a beautiful evening with delicious food and amazing cocktails !
Came back after many years with my parents and son. Wonderful food n service :) service is impeccable food is always memorable. They obviously have put a lot of thought in their menu
Lovely weekend lunch! The food was amazing and great service by Ajab Singh
The pizzas and salads are sumptuous! Ambience is great! Wine is great
Love this place! I come here around once a week - the ambience is great! This is one of the few places in town with an amazing gluten free quinoa-base pizza. Wish they had the pizza on their online menu too, so I could get it delivered too!
Wanted to try new restaurant and went to Diva
Found here Excellent food and great Ambience.
Like the food and service (especially their 🍕 Pizzas)
Must give it a try once
This is a nice place to be for having a relaxing time with your special one. The best part is the food and the service. We visited number of times to the restaurant but the food and ambiance is so amazing that we always plan to go again and again. The best part of there food menu are pizzas and pastas.
Great food and service like all Ritu Dalmia restaurants. Great service and advice by Ramesh at our table. will definitely return and recommend to friends.
Gnocchi in cream sauce is deliciousness
A truly authentic and unforgettable dining experience. It’s chefs cook with their heart and bring you flavour so pure and true to tradition.
I ordered ‘white sauce pasta’ and had it with the complementary breads.
Really liked the whole experience, including the soothing ambience. Take your ‘DIVAs’ to the place and have a blast. 😁

Had a lovely evening here. Thanks Ajabsingh for your service and assistance in placing order. Will definitely visit again. Greenapple pizza was really nice.
Thanks again!!
Ajab Singh (the waiter to our table) had suggested this wonderful winter special cocktail Penicillin. That was awesome. The food is also lips smacking. We had Herb Crusted Chicken and hand made Tagelinoi with Prawns. Good ambiance too.
Food is amazing. The chef made everything with a personal touch. The staff is solid; especially akaash. All in all a happy place with a classy ambiance.

This place in the plush gk2 market is definitely worth going to again and again. It is a fine dine restaurant whose menu is curated by renowned chef Ritu Dalmia. The menu is revised and dishes are added and removed every six months so you might not get to eat something you liked when you ate here if you come back after a long time. The restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine with dishes having ingredients imported directly from Italy. That’s impressive. It is divided into two floors; the ground floor is a lounge whereas the restaurant is at the first floor. The ambience of the place is just wonderful with dim lighting and leather sofas to sit in. We were here to explore so we tried one of their risottos with zucchini cooked different styles and almonds which had a very subtle (almost bland) flavour like most Italian dishes but tasted very distinct and delicious. The other dish we ordered was the eggplant cannoli with cheese on top, baked and dressed in red sauce. This dish was much better with loads of flavour and a tangy punch. It was unlike anything I had before. The filling was spinach and ricotta cheese (as far as I remember) which was very tasty too. Definitely give this dish a try. They serve complimentary bread which dipped in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastes marvellous. The staff was very courteous and helpful and assisted me well with the menu which was in parts quite unfamiliar to me. I will be going here again very soon to try some more dishes.
Do try this place if you crave authentic Italian food and like to explore new food and cuisines. Kudos to the entire team!!
Diva is a place to have a relaxed good meal. Excellent food. Very efficient service. We ordered for pasta and pizza and both were good and up to satisfactory. Would like to go again to this place.
We had heard a lot about Diva for its food and ambience. Tried their outlet in GK-2,M Block Market and my experience matched about what I had heard about them. We were in a hurry and ordered for a tomato Basil penne pasta and a pizza with half pizza Verde and half Margherita. We were served with two breads - one of which was foccasia which we liked. The mixing bowl for making your choice of dip was small and shall recommend them to pick something bigger as its good for one n they give one bowl on a table for four. Shall also suggest to give oregano and chilli flakes along with breads as we had to ask for it and it was promptly delivered. Pizza was nice with base made of authentic flour and good quality ingredients. Service was prompt and lovely ambience. Worth the visit, shall highly recommend.
I went to diva on the weekend for my brothers birthday. I availed my 1+1 on zomato gold. The staff was very courteous, they gave us complimentary amuse bush starter.
Everything i ordered was very good. I fell in love with the risotto and gnocchi. The ravioli pasta was also amazing. The restraunt has no cakes from outside policy but on special request they allowed us to cut the cake.
For vegetarians you have loads and loads of good options. So thats another plus one about this place.
My all time favourite place... even the home delivery experience was wonderful.
An amazing one of you have a love for Italian food. The presentation of the food is unmissable.. it's at par with the kinds that you see on MasterChefs of the world. Can be heavy on your pocket though so pick n choose who you visit with.
One of the original Fine dining restaurants that started the foodie trend in delhi. Diva can be regarded as the pioneer of eating out well in delhi. Although with the plethora of options available all around these days it’s lost out on a bit of the charm.
Go there for wine, mild banter and great italian food with loved ones for company.
I went to this restaurant last week with a special friend of mine .It was a lovely experience as it is a finest Italian restaurant in the south . Absolutely loved their thin crust specially made customised pizza which they made specially for us .This place is very well made ,loved the ambience and the background french music. The best thing what i liked the most is the service. They make you feel as you are precious to them.
It is a perfect place for a first date .
One of the finest properties on the block when it comes to Italian cuisine and my favorite Italian restaurants of all times - DIVA.
I frequent this establishment very often and it never disappoints me. On my last visit I tried the Ravioli with Puglian Burrata served with succulent cherry tomatoes and mixed herbs, the sheer quality of ingredients in this dish was fabulous, we also tried the Handmade Chitarra Pasta with artichoke and just when we thought we've had enough carbs we ordered the Infamous DIVA's pizza.
To end all of it on a sweet note we ordered the dessert platters and it couldn't get better than that.
The quality of ingredients, consistency in preparation and personalized service on offer at this establishment keeps me coming back again and again.
My complements to the chef for yet another great meal and the service staff for prompt and courteous service. I LL definitely be back, hungry for more.
Diva Italian was on my wish list for so long now and finally visited their GK2 outlet last Thursday for dinner. It’s a fine dine restaurant located in Gk2 m block market. We were welcomed with sparkling wine which was really a good start to our dinner time.
Started with Burrata, orange & Pistachio salad. Loved it totally.Next we tried their signature handmade chitarra pasta with with pistachio pesto and artichoke.It was perfectly cooked as per my liking.For main course I had chicken filled with ricotta and wrapped with parma ham . Chicken was soft, juicy and succulent & I couldn’t have expected a better version of this one as it was perfect.The icing on the cake was their courteous & delightful service.
Fantastic is the word. Thats what I would say to start with. The place is very very well made and has bright natural light coming in. To move ahead the menu is not to vast but has taken care of almost every ones choice.
Each dish that we ordered was perfectly made and served with perfection. I would surely suggest everyone to visit and delight themselves with such a wonderful place.
Surely will be back for more of your amazing food.
Great food, Great Hospitality. It is the place to be to relish Italian delicacies. Absolutely loved their pizzas.. thin crust, baked to perfection. The toppings were fresh and were in good amount. Risotto was simply awesome.The staff is very courteous. Special thanks to the staff member Dinesh who was very courteous and made extra efforts in making our dinner time so enjoyable. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommended for all who loves fresh delicious and authentic Italian food.
Mahadev Thapa & Neeraj Sharma
it was a lovely experience! our server akash was very helpful and prompt!
kudos to chef rehman for the delicious food!
and one of the best tiramisu i have eaten in a long time
Amazing food! Loved everything we ordered! The hospitality by our server Dinesh was very good. He ensured that we had a great experience at Diva.
one of the Best places in the city if no the best...food's bang on every time...they really know what they are doing either with a simple dish or a complicated one ! how they say in Italian Bellissimo :)

Having lived in Italy for few years, Italian cuisine is close to my heart. After my return i continued taking Italian language course at the Italian Cultural Center, and that's where i discovered Diva almost a decade ago. Since then i have explored all the Diva restaurants many a times and what amazes me is that the menu is quite different in each of them!
The cozy corner in GKII whisked me miles away from the chaos the moment i stepped inside. Finding my favorite Vino Rosso - Montepulciano Abruzzo was enough to set the tone for the evening. We ordered:
Antipasti
Herb Crostini with Parma Ham, Avocado and Goat Cheese - The combinations of textures and flavors went really well with the Montepulciano.
Primi Piatti
Ravioli with Puglian Burrata, Cherry Tomatoes & Mixed Herbs - Very few can make real authentic ravioli
Secondi Piatti
Sea Bass with Crispy Capers & Tossed Spinach - Softly crusted fish in lightly flavored sauce with tangy capers was as delicate as it could get
Risotto Gnocchi with Mushrooms Goat Cheese and Honey - The combination in itself was irresistible and it lived up to its name
Munching over assorted breadsticks and focaccia followed by succulent fish and ravioli, i lost track of time and mobile (Read no pictures). The warm decor, timely service and well informed staff made it a perfect evening last Friday.
The best Italian I've ever eaten, the food here is as authentic as it can get. The ingredients used are fresh and the pastas are hand made. The pizza is like the pizza you get in Napoli.
The cocktail menu is a must try...its so elaborate and different than usual menus.
Each cocktail on the menu is amazing and very well explained. Definitely a Ritu Dalmia menu.
Food is excellent and authentic and very tasty. We ordered a chicke. pizza (chicken is not on their pizza menu but they add it on pizza on request) and a prawn pasta ( which looked pretty bland when it came and to our surprise was full of flavour and very tasty.)
I love this place! Value for money, their service is just lovely and their duck breast is just bellissimo! Their wine list is reasonably priced, the address is a great location and they have nailed the perfect ambience that’s suitable for both families and couples.
Exquisite, creative, amazing, truly European. This restaurant and its amazing Chef are a blessing to Delhi. Their cocktails menu is the most hilarious and subversive I have ever seen. There is something stylish and innovative innthe air. Keep it up! Stay yourself!!
Lovely ambience with soft, French tunes playing and enough space between tables to lead a private conversation. Fantastic food and perfectly crafted cocktails.
It’s one of my favourites again and full of surprises the perfection of curated culinarily of Italian food and cocktails are like storytelling experience of dining.
The staff is very warm&friendly and service is undoubtedly best.The ambience is warm and cozy.
We ordered there freshly made pasta and margaritas and there in-house bread selection is yum with fresh salsa and cheesecake for dessert.
Delightful experience worth a dine date.
One of the recommendations for perfect romantic date or for cocktail lovers.
Finally made it to Diva inspite of living just 5 minutes away from GK2 M Block! And voila! Authentic Italian grub finally!
Down to the sacrosanct Italiano parmigiana that was serve so well with the rosemary potato Parma ham chicken! Brilliant taste, good presentation coupled with great service from our knowledgable and helpful d’maitre Ramesh Pande!! 👍
Also ordered the risotto gnocchi with mushrooms goat cheese and honey, margarita pizza and anti pasta vegetarian in the main course. Tried all of them; tested and given full marks to each for flavour, taste, presentation and essence!
For sweets; the vanilla and figs dish was great as well which came with choco caramel crumbs, biscuit and baked figs.
Overall; bingo! 👍👌🏻
Excellent food and service.. ambiance also very cozy.. best pizza in town. Burrata, rocket salad, Prosciutto and fungi pizza. Also the beetroot and goat cheese salad is very good..
I have always been a fan of Ritu Dalmia’s restaurants and this particular one has got to be the best one! The wine selection was very good. We had John Dory for main course on the recommendation of the server and it was delicious. We had the panacotta with honey comb for dessert which was overly sweet and the only disappointing part of the meal.

After getting done with my shopping at GK-2 when I and my friend were feeling hungry the first name that came in my mind was Diva Italian. I am a big fan of Italian cuisine and more so because Chef Ritu Dalmia leaves no stone unturned in adding her magic by curating fantastic menu for food lovers.
Ambience - This place has enticingly refreshing ambience and quite successfull in attracting a good footfall of customers.
Food & Drinks - We ordered Prawn tossed with sweet & sour onion jam;shaved cauliflower and broccoli and Crispy Lasagna with red wine. Everything had flavourful taste with great presentation.
Staff and Service - They had trained staff, who were efficient in providing nice service.
Would surely like to visit this place again.

Authentic Italian cuisine and classy ambience is all I remember about this place. Located in M Block GK-2, this place was on my to-do list ever since I visited Cafe Diva. Had heard a lotvaboutbthe Diva Chain, so this was an obvious choice for Italian cravings. They offer an exquisite rangevof Italian delicacies that equally suits the Indian tastebuds. I had gone there with my family and I ordered mixed green salad, ricota gnocchi earthy mushrooms and classic tiramisu for dessert. Superbly delectable it was. The rare mix of taste with class is hard to find in the present era of fast foods. Must say their choice of ingredients, hygiene, service and hospitality, everything was amazing. Am gonna pay a second visit soon.

This place has amazing ambience and is a perfect place for those first dates! The feel of the place and the amazing food will give you plenty of things to talk about.
Now let’s start talking about the food!
They have amazing highest quality pork, you will fall in love with their Prosciutto with ricotta mousse. The cheese is creamy and delicious and the prosciutto is divine.
Also worth ordering is their seared scallops with mushroom, what really makes that dish stand out is the zesty orange-saffron vinaigrette
When it comes to mains go for their ham wrapped chicken with ricotta , I’m a big fan of ricotta and ham so this dish made perfect sense for me to order and it didn’t disappoint a bit. It was delicious, perfectly cooked and balanced, the cheese did the trick and the crispy ham gave the dish the textures that made it whole
Desserts are not to be missed at Diva - Italian, they have beautiful honey panna cotta. It has beautiful texture and a the right amount of honey that gives it a perfect balance and it’s light so you won’t feel guilty of squeezing in a dessert!
Also do their chocolate soufflé coz it’s chocolatey, airy and so light!
This place is amazing and the staff takes great care in ensuring you have the best time. Highly recommended if you are looking for fine dining and amazing food variety.
Its a menu which is truly Italian and worthy of Michelin star. With such a wide range of ingredients and making them shine in a plate is nothing but pure magic.

Diva – The Italian Restaurant is the first from the house of DIVA located in posh GK2 market. This award winning restaurant is a celebration of fine dining Italian fare and owned by popular chef Ritu Dalmia.
My first visit here was on a Saturday afternoon with few friends. Everything about this place is brilliant. Be it the ambience, the service or the food- each aspect was perfect. Head over to Diva-The Italian Restaurant for the authentic & delicious Italian cuisine where fresh ingredients are flown directly from Italy.
Spread over two floors, this restaurant has a beautiful wine cellar as well. So if you are fond of Italian food and wine both then this is the right place for you to pair the right kind of wine with food to enhance the dining experience...
Gnocci with mushroom, Risotto ,Mille foglie of crispy lasagna sheets with pumpkin and sweet potatoes(baked golden) are must haves.
V@ery impressive on the plate was honey Panna cotta dessert - a tasty treat to end a super meal !

Diva Italian is a reputed restaurant in gk2 owned by celebrity chef Ritu Dalmia.
I remember tasting food of Diva Italian for the first time when I was part of a press conference at Italian Embassy a few years ago and they were giving their catering services.
Now,coming to this day when I went with my special friends for a lunch party , I would like to share that it was a great fine-dining experience.
Grilled Ciabatta with roasted autumn veggies- vegetables like beans, carrot and potatoes are topped on Ciabatta - an Italian bread .
Roasted carrot and citrus arancine- Deep fried balls . Awesome texture and crunchy from inside
Italian potato pie -made with mashed potatoes, very comforting and addictive side dish.
Pan seared sea bass with duo of beans l, crispy bacon and zuchinni ribbons- zuchinni shaved long and thin , in ribbon style wisely used for interesting plating or decorating purpose. A visual treat and tempting to the core!
Chocolate soufflé was a showstopper and perfect dessert to end a lavish meal.
Professional, attentive staff, knowledgeable servers, steady service, classy ambiance , sophisticated interiors all combined with true authentic Italian food made our first experience truly cherishable!
Meal for two- Apx. Rs.2500/-
Living upto the expectations the name carries. This place is nothing but exceptionally created especially for authentic Italian cuisine lovers. Right from their ambience to well informed staff, everything reflects in a language of sophistication and class.
While I was fiddling through the pages of their menu I was served a basket of assorted breads to start with which were pretty heavy yet tasty.
Recommendations from the food menu:
- Adchini balls: A paradise to vegetarians this particular dish is filled with flavours and cheese.
- Gnocci with mushroom: well cooked mushrooms served and rich in texture. It was. Atreat to someone like me.
-Ravioli with crumbled eggs.
-Crispy lasagna: lasanga fans this one is your treat. Unlike the usual ones this ones got a crispy layer witha soft filling.
Ambience- 5/5

Oh, what a wonderful and classy place it is! Perfect for family outing or a romantic dinner. Incredible service with super polite and courteous staff. While you go through the menu, they serve you assorted breads, which itself is quite filling. Their food is authentic and so are the names of the dishes, so can't remember the names.
I loved almost everything as they concentrate on the flavours more than anything else. They have a good collection of wine and i decided to have the red one. Salads are their specialty, so i started off with that. Absolutely fresh, with cheese and strawberries and love!
The pork ravioli was super delicious, can't stop thinking about it!
Not a big fan of risotto but they definitely know how to cook one. For the first time i loved risotto too!
The pizza was again not just a regular pizza, decided to go for a veg one, full of rocket leaves and pine nuts!
Coming to desserts, all of them are out of the world, my favourite being the hazelnut and chocolate one🙆🏻
Just waiting to go back again.
I strongly recommend this place to each and everyone of you. PLEASE VISIT!
Went here sometime back, serves the best Italian in town!!
The place is done up really well and staff is courteous.
Go here for the food trust me you’ll be amazed.
Ordered the basics, loved the flavour of the pasta and the pizza.
Can’t wait to go back here again!!
Wow loved it. I was very apprehensive about the food after the makeover but was proved wrong. What we ordered - Mixed green salad with marinated strawberries lime maple dressing warm goat cheese (very good), Vegetarian platter - stuffed and baked artichoke mushroom parcel risotto caccio pepe (wow), no cheese pizza (good) and pizza with sundried tomato with burnt Garlic (Wow). The service and the ambience has always been good so no complaints there. Please go here and enjoy the delicious food. I hope to visit again....
Great quality and preparation of food with a delightful menu make this restaurant a favourite place. Celebrated Chef Ritu finds fabulous ways to innovate and satisfy even the most discerning food critic!

This is a lovely Italian place in GK 2 market, perfect for a break after your shopping.
The decor is chic and stylish, with seating downstairs and upstairs as well. There are tables with large windows that stream in the sun making the place feel warm, sunny and lovely during Delhi winters. The walls are lined with pictures of food and places reminiscent of Italy.
The staff is very polite and courteous. They start you off with delicious assorted breads, typical of the Diva chain of restaurants, with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. While you nibble them, you can look at their typical Italian menu and order a wide variety of dishes.
This outlet is certainly one of the better ones of the chain, my other favorite being Latitude in Khan Market.
For drinks, we had the ginger mint lemon mocktail which was delicious, served in pink hues and very refreshing.
We ordered the vegetarian platter, which came with a serving of spinach crepe, mushroom roll and baked artichoke with stuffing. These can be independently ordered from the menu as full servings but since we didn't know which one would be good, we decided to go for the platter. The crepe and mushroom were sumptuous but the artichoke left a lot to be desired. I would recommend the former if you plan to get a full plate.
Next, we had butternut squash ravioli in sage butter sauce which was simply marvellous. The ravioli was soft and light, with a hint of butternut squash flavour, no overwhelming and the sauce was light and buttery. This my favorite part of the meal.
They served us a special vegetarian pasta on request with four cheese sauce and grilled vegetables. The sauce was cheesy and heavy but the pasta was overall quite ordinary.
Then we had the Pizza Verde. They let you order half of one type of pizza and half of another but we got only this one. It was divine and very Italian. The pesto sauce was yummy, the aurgula leaves fresh and the cheese and pine nuts simply melted in our mouths. The crust was thin and the pizza didn't feel heavy at all.
I would say that this was a lovely meal in all and a perfect family outing for us. I would recommend this place for dates too since it is quiet and classy and excellent for good conversations.
It is quite expensive and our meal exceeded Rs 5000. This chain of restaurants is rather on the expensive side, affording only occasional indulgences.
Ive been here five times this month and I love almost everything about this place. The food is incredible. Must try the John Dory, marsala mushroom and caramelized onion risotto, the ceaser salad, the spinach and ricotta ravioli etc. (I could go on, really). Love their drinks' menu. Quirky named drinks that taste so good. I never thought drinks were necessary with my meals, but Diva changed that for me. Even their mocktails are incredible. However, be prepared for the place to burn a hole in your pocket. On an average, if you're drinking with your meal, you'll end up paying about 5k per head. But it's worth it. Also, a special shout-out to my regular server Ramesh. He is so invested in making my experience at Diva something to remember every time I am there.
One of my favourite diva dish is risotto in mixed sauce with sundried tomatoes & minestrone soup... ordered the same thing at my place.. taste was superb.. I personally like there ambience too..
I happened to drop in last evening with a friend and I cannot stop appreciating the hospitality at this place. The bartenders (Mr. Vineet and the others) made sure that we had a great time by serving us some creative well-mixed combinations of alcohol (cocktails). It was an amazing experience and the ambience with the jazz-blues music just adds up as brownie points. Definitely will visit again, soon!
The essence of Italian food was exemplified on plate in this niche restaurant. It has been my favorite for a while now. The food is authentic and true to its origin. The new martini bar serves great variety of cocktails and maintains an extensive wine range. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous. A special shoutout to the lady in charge who just welcomed us into the restaurant with utmost delight and warmth (sorry forgot to ask her name). Do try the white wine sangria which had a sweet twist to it. Also, the breads never disappoint; always fresh and delicious.
Excellent fine dining restaurant in Gk2. Went there for my anniversary dinner. They have a perfectly chosen menu to suit every taste bud . We ordered for a fish and a lamb platter, which comes with accompaniments , and were quite filling. They even made a cheese pasta for my son, the way he likes it.
The staff is very friendly and will help u in choosing the dish.
Will definitely recommend for an unforgettable experience.
Diva's menu is 'Italian', but with lots of fusion and many creative flourishes, so don't expect authenticity.
We were here for lunch with family and friends, and ordered three starters to share: roasted Brie with rocket; mushroom, honey and goat's cheese bruschetta, and suppli. I had a John Dory with an olive crust and vegetable 'noodles' as a main course, and had a taste of my daughter's pork belly with carrot purée and green beans. All were delicious, though just a little too heavy in the butter. So heavy, in fact, that none of us had space for dessert and made do with coffee.
Excellent food and very good service, definitely a place to frequent.
Diva is now an over 20 year old Italian restaurant, Repeated this place after maybe 7 years or so. Remembering my previous visit and this visit, the restaurant has kept quality, presentation taste and service absolutely consistent, that's the hall mark of a quality restaurant. Very selective menu and good choice of wines. Great place to celebrate special occasions.
OG Italian powerhouse. Have always loved the food at diva. As Close to authentic Italian you can get in the city. Every time I eat here, there’s something new. Breads are superb.
Amazing place to grab a glimpse of italy. The panini and pizza are a myst try! Entry to students of italian cultural centre and their guests only.
The food was delicious, especially the salads. The chocolate cake souffle was divine. The staff was very attentive, the location excellent, and the ambiance was great for parties with lots of natural light.
Without a doubt best Italian restaurant in Delhi. A sanctuary and retreat from the hubbub of visiting Delhi. Food first raye , very good wine list if you looking for good bottle under $80. There could be much finer at higher cost but i have a weakness for valpolicella Ripasso wines! Outstanding service, parm cheese and olives like you’re in Milano. We stayed all afternoon…..
a fine italian restaurant for all the italian food fanatics! The ravioli was great, salad was refreshing but the Burrata cheese in the Caprese salad tasted a little weird than usual. The pizza was a pass. For desserts, the tiramisu was one of the BEST tiramisus i have had along with brownie (a-m-a-z-i-n-g!). The service was great.
Overall a 8/10
The best Italian Restaurant that I have got in and a great taste .. had a birthday party with friends here and enjoyed a lot. Thank you for wonderful experience that I have had here and friends also praised me for finding such a wonderful restaurant with great taste.

I go to Diva's at the Italian Cultural Centre every week and I have tried the new menu more than once. Last week I had Handmade Tagliolini with Marigold Cherry Tomatoes and Burrata. Simply delicious! I then had Apricot and Ricotta Cheesecake (a couple of weeks before when I first ordered it, after they started the new menu, they had no Apricot Creme!) This time it was super delicious! An Espresso Coffee to end the meal and a very positive experience.
However, if you scan their QR Code you will still find the new menu which still has Risotto with pears, Taleggio Parmesan & Roasted Walnuts... The pears were hard because unripe and there were no roasted walnuts. I had it all out of politeness which I shouldn't have done. Then I told the waiter. They later said they would discontinue this dish, and they have, since it is no more on the updated hard copy menu. But it still is on the QR Code menu though, al least it was until last Thursday... And if you surf the internet you will find no new or updated menu.
I love Diva's but sometimes they could do better.
One of the Most pleasant restaurants I have visited. Lovely food and lovely staff in a very friendly decent manner. Then coming to food most delicious food ever I had.
A nice place in GK 2 market which is known for its Italian food. Do expect relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. The wait staff can suggest dishes if you need any recommendations. Wines are a bit pricey and standard cocktails are priced around $10.
Reservations are probably not needed as we went on weekend evening during dinner time and we are able to find seats. Overall a good experience
Honest, Homely and always a pleasure. Diva serves their heart and love on the plate. Cant get over their warm hospitality, smiling faces and delicious food they have been serving for the last 20 years.
Brilliant restaurant. Very different flavours from the usual spicy taste of Delhi/India restaurants. My Calcutta curry had a very tastefully done, mild coconut milk flavour and a very good presentation of the dish. The atmosphere was calm, the decor very tastefully done and the staff very polite and knowledgeable. The restaurant made such a welcome and soothing change from the usual fare of food. Very highly recommended.
The Mezze platter was really good and the pizzas here are fantastic. I didn't quite like the spaghetti Aglio olio, but the staff was extremely polite and understanding so they modified that for us. The ginger Fizz was great too and overall the experience is great. The desserts are worth having as a main course!
Went there on busy Saturday night and fell in love with their food ,jumbo prawns was really good but i did feel like thai curry could have been better . Server's and Manager are very friendly and i did give my feedback to them regarding thai curry which they offered to replace and complimentary mini brownies were awesome which happened to be gluten free as well. Over all had a great experience and will go back soon to try their salads
