This is my go-to place for chilling in Pondi. After travelling and exploring the city and outskirts, I like to go back here have my beer and yummy bar food and chill till they close.
It's a great Cafe with super sweet staff. :) They are quite friendly and are doing a wonderful job!
We had pastas, red wine, and a cocktail.
Their pasta reflect Italian taste and the simplicity of the cuisine.
A nice place to relax.
Good beer and staff is fantastic
Awesome place and polite and excellent service good place for family 😀😀😀 ambience is very good thanks for pasta bar team

The ambience at The Past Bar Veneto is nothing short of amazing. It's located right next to a quiet street that is brimming with a variety of tourists from all across the world. The restaurant has a large glass picture window that looks onto the street, complemented by music that closely resembles the top numbers on the Billboard charts. The food itself is quite bespoke for the ambience as described above. We ordered chicken soup, French fries, Barbeque chicken pizza and chocolate brownie with ice cream. Each one of those items was delectable and mouth watering. The chicken soup (zuppa di pollo) was thick, viscous and replete with chunks of grilled chicken. The thin crust pizza was crisp with fresh vegetables, chicken and vegetables. The French fries were crisp as well, served with a two varieties of tangy sauces. The Black Currant cooler was extremely refreshing. We were served by a gentleman named Sabarish Ranjan. He took great care of us, and ensured that we were provided with everything we required over the course of our meal at this place. It's a remarkable place, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone travelling to Pondicherry.
As a solo Traveller I depended majorly on the Zomato ratings when I made my decision to visit this place! It was truly a good decision. The staff is so courteous and sweet. They understand what you want and suggest things accordingly. I don't remember the names of the dishes I called for but I've attached the pictures. It was a pleasant experience!
Also I'd like to add, Pooja was one of the people's serving me and she was such a sweet person. She not only was very prompt and helpful while I was dining but she also helped me by providing me a book that consists of various important information about Pondicherry. I really liked her!
Cannot miss going to this place for your trip of Pondicherry.
Enjoy your wine and beer and great Italian - pizzas, pasta and paninis 😀
Very great long list of pasta options.
Vinod (the owner) is such an amazing person and host. Great food too, would love to visit again
Best place to visit near whitetown. Very close to Rock beach, too good ambience, amazing food and cocktails. Must visit at least once while at pondi
Visited this cozy awesome place in lunch time. Had a chilled beer and saucy spicy chicken pizza, spicy buffalo chicken wings and must try broccoli white sauce.
Service was pretty good. The spicy chicken wings were great. They were on the skin, so it added to the flavour. Any Beer would go with it. Then the baked fish lasagna was very good too. It was more liquidy and had a bit less quantity and layers. But the taste was too good.
Lovely ambience and amazing food. What I ordered were the white sauce pasta and veg burger. The quantities were pretty decent and filling. Pasta was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The veg burger patty was crispy and nice. For desserts I tried the Apple strudel. The plate itself looked delicious and the taste was wonderful. Overall it’s a good place to come with family and friends.
Very nice day........,.nshs shbsbs bdbbdbd jsbdbbshdb hshdvhjjdhdvjdbdbhdb dhdbdb hdbdbbsbsjdbsb jshbsb
One word: Amazing!! The ambience and food are both commendable. The pasta and chicken steak that we ordered were absolutely perfect. They have a bar with good stock of liquor to enjoy with your meal. We infact ordered our lunch from this very place the next day. That’s how amazing it was. Should absolutely give it a try if you are in the White town area.

Wooooooowwwwwwww......... What a burger man........ Super juicy chicken burger patty...... And those fries with mayo are super awesomee.....
My husband and I visited the place on a Saturday afternoon. The ambience is lovely. We tried the mushro and cheese crotini as a starter with Green Apple Mojito and Tropical Fruit Punch mocktails. The crostini was crisp and yummy. The drinks tasted fabulous!
Then we ordered Penne PrimaVera Panna. It was a creamy white sauce pasta with various veggies like sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, mushroom. The pasta was awesome.
This place is a must try when in Puducherry.
This was my third visit to Pondicherry and I went to this place for the first time. Usually you have to wait to get a place because it's always crowded. We ordered risotto di fungi that was nice and we ordered fries which they served with cucumber and carrot spread. Also we ordered pizzas and it was nice. We also ordered pesto pasta that was not at all good. We complained about that and the manager agreed to give some other item instead of that or to remove that from the bill. Ambiance and music everything was great.
I like this place so much. As I love this amazing red pasta over here.
They serve many different kinds of liquors. In short, this cafe was must visit when u visit pondicherry..!!
I have been to this place a number of times and I have always had a good experience...I love the food...the variety in the menu...the ambience...music... everything... highly recommend this place to anyone who visits pondicherry coz its usually on my list whenever I visit the town...
In fact I recently wrote a blog reviewing this place...you could read it here...
https://flavourchords.com/the-pasta-bar-veneto-pondicherry-review/
Went there after reading a lot of positive reviews. It is a bar cum restaurant that serves Italian dishes.
Tried Lasagna de Verdure and Primavera al Penne. A bit disappointed with the Lasagna.. It was a bit undercooked and tasted very sour. But the other dish was really delicious. It had the right amount of cheese and sauce tasted excellent.
Overall, a good place to visit near White Town.
Nice ambience and decor, authentic Italian food loved the place, would surely come back here. A must visit if you are coming to Pondicherry.
The place was neat and cosy, with friendly staffs, food was amazing with great mocktails to serve !! Starters had different varieties including both veg and non veg
We ordered chicken pasta, chicken breasts stuffed in minced meat and a margarita. Wouldn't recommend the margarita as it was expensive and not worth the money.
This place is a delight for a hardcore pasta lover. There are so many varieties to try from, you'll end up going again. I went here thrice while in pondicherry, tried different pastas and starters and none of them were disappointing. Ambience is okayish, but it can certainly be overlooked over the taste.
Loved the place! One of the best places in White town, I would say. Went here after a super tiring, hot Pondy afternoon starving and parched. Service was quick and efficient.
We ordered the baked fish and the Pollo Ripielo. Both were perfect, juicy and well seasoned. Ordered a daiquiri and pina colado to wash it down and they met our expectations as well!
10/10 recommended.
On our visit to Pondicherry, we tried to visit most of the popular eateries. Pasta bar had good reviews and we ended up here one late evening.
Place has a typical young vibe with mostly youngsters crowding the place, music and funky ambience. It is basically a bar cm Italian restaurant thus has the typical decor. Place has a good vibe for a fun evening out.
Service is good and so is the food. I particularly liked the Zuppa Funghi soup. They have great Antipasti options as well.
And variants of pasta.
I loved the pesto one.
I would rate
Food- 4.5/5
Service- 4/5
Ambience- 4/5
Amazing variety to choose from for your favourite dish pasta over here...one can choose any pasta from their menu and they serve it amazingly delicious pasta on the serve...
Pizza here is okayish but pasta is all win win food over here...
Must try when in pondicherry
Pasta bar will be a special memory from my Pondi trip.
Lovely ambience...Cozy set up.. Comfortable seating.. and above all quality food. The best thing is their food is very light on you and helps when you are traveling.
Had a great time. A must visit in Pondicherry.
Wowww!!!!!!! The best place for perfect Italian delicacies..... Ambiance was so cozy and nice....we ordered really delicious food.....
1.virgin coloda.....I really enjoyed this mocktail....with some drinks
2.polpette chicken......omg!!!! How can I describe this.....it's simply perfect....must try👍
3.lasagne de agnello.....made with red sauce .....with some yummy lamb mixed.....loved it
4.chicken barbeque pizza.....wowww.... perfect pizza....for pizza lovers.....
Will visit this place again......
I visited this place because of the wide range of pastas available here. I am usually skeptical about taking pasta outside but taking anything else in this restaurant may have been an injustice to its name. So my friend and I ordered a veg arrabiata pasta and a salsa rosso con pollo e funghi(chicken pasta with mushrooms in a peri peri and cream sauce). The veg arrabiata pasta was tangy with its spicy tomato sauce, while the chicken pasta leaned on the spicier side with its lip smacking sauce. Both the pastas were delicious but I loved the sauce of the chicken pasta more. If it isn't already there, a veg pasta in the same sauce would taste amazing. The ambience is mellow with its white and red walls but the music is loud. If you love pastas, definitely try this place out.

Best Italian you can have in Puducherry🥰
The pasta bar Veneto is famous for its authentic Italian cuisine...a must try place for all Italian lovers..this is quite old restro in Puducherry...
We ordered mutton lasagna, cheese garlic bread and white sauce pasta (penne Arrabiata) The food was really delicious and must try whenever you visiting Puducherry ...
The highlight of our trip was lunch here. We ordered french fries for the kid who was totally happy with it and left us to have a nice lunch. We had garlic bread, barbecue funghi (devoured this n ordered again), and primavera al Panna. Except for the stinky wash area, no complaints!
I loved this home style comfy place. Food menu was excellent, we had ordered meat balls and pizza, both were satisfactory. Staff was good and cooperative.
An italian evening at the french land. The flavours out here are really delicious except for the lasagne . And they have a good number of choices.
How I wanted to give this restaurant a five star. If not for the smelly untidy bathroom. I wonder why they aren’t putting an effort to clean it up.
As for the food. The mushroom soup we had was very tasty. Bruschetta was our first try so we dont have anything to compare it too. The pasta was outrageously delicious but please dont leave the pasta bar without tasting the TIRAMISU😍 Our Pondy trip ended with a heavenly dessert.
Food was really tasty and scrumptious. We were a group of 5 and we all loved it . Service also gud . Thn music s awesome.. ambiance was so peace full ...
I completely loved loved loved the food of this place. We ordered fish fingers and veg lasagne and both tasted so good. I can say that I had the best lasagne of my life at this place only. The ambience was pretty decent. Also, they have a really good variety of dishes which I would definitely like to try in future.
This is very nice place for authentic Italian cuisine. We ordered pasta pizza and lasagna. It was superb. The best dish was pasta. You should try the pizza campo
Do try cannelloni pasta. Such an amazing ambiance and probably the best place to have Italian food in pondicherry. Courteous staff and smiling dishes:)
A decent place where the rooftop was decent.. some of the dishes we tried was also good. Pasta was good too.. most beer were available.
Service was good too. So overall a good experience
This is a very well decorated amazing cafe with some great delicacies.
I had:
1. Lasagna De Agnello: Pasta sheets cooked with mozzarella and red sauce.
2. Baked fish: Oven baked layers of fish with basil, spinach, creamy herbs and mozzarella.
3. Bolognese de Pollo: Pasta cooked with minced chicken, carrots, tomato sauce and Parmesan.
4. Pizza Barbeque: With BBQ chicken, basil, onion, paprika, capers and mozzarella.
All of the dishes were too good.
The outside is well decorated with the perfect lightings after dark. The seating arrangements are perfect with pictures and facts full of the history of pasta decorating the walls.
All in all, the cafe was perfect and highly recommended.
Hv been to this place for dinner one evening. A very great place with nice music playing in the background. The red walls and the poster made this place further attractive. The staff were courteous. We have ordered a pasta and a pizza. The portions were good and the pizza was the best. The crust and toppings were just perfect. A must visit place when in Pondicherry!!
The Pasta bar Veneto is one another amazing place located in the happening area of MG Road.
Friendly staff, epicable hospitality and great food menu.
For starters, we ordered Cheese garlic bread. A very flavoursome option for munchies, topped with mozzarella cheese and backed to perfection.
We combined it with few pegs of Glenmorange in single malts.
Since we were here to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary we even received a complimentary dessert from the gentleman who was attending us. Also we only wanted to stick to drinks and starters hence didn't order much. But we should definitely visit again to try their extravagant menu.
A great place for their pastas, desserts and chilli cheese toast. We tried their panna Cotta and Quattro formaggi pasta, which were great. I also liked the fruit punch here. Quite an affordable place with amazing plating and taste.
A very nice restro bar in the mid of white town.
We tried chicken ham pizza and white sauce pasta. Both were delicious.
Do give a visit to this place. Worth a try.
Really tasty food and service. Loved every dish that we tried. The ambience isn't all that great, yet provides a sense of comfort. It adds to the overall experience.

The Pasta Bar Veneto – Favorite Spot in Pondy.
I have been to Pondy Zillion times from my childhood. My Mom’s native place. I have a butt load of family residing in Pondy. I and My Brother decided to go to Pondy from Chennai. The Pasta Bar Veneto in Chennai do not serve Alcohol. But in Pondy they do. It’s my second time visiting The Pasta Bar Veneto in Pondy. I was on leave due to Thanksgiving Holidays in US. Usually the place is overflowed during the weekends. Thank god for Thanksgiving.
I wanted to drink and try some food. I ordered my drink and Food are as follows:
• Bastoncini di Pesce (Fish Fingers) – Good. Not too oily.
• Barbeque Chicken – Good – Too Tangy.
• Pizza Carne Mista – A Meaty Pizza of Chicken Mince, Lamb Pepperoni, Chicken Ham and Sausages with Red Paprika, onion and Mozzarella. Add On: Parmesan Cheese. – Served Hot. I liked the Pizza. The Add On Parmesan Cheese will be given separately to sprinkle.
I had few drinks and Breezers for the night. Service is great in here. Ambiance is good. Music in the background. Overall My Experience at The Pasta Bar Veneto was really great. I love the place. Definitely recommend to you all.
Suggestion: Breezer price is really too High.

Fancy place from outside, decent interiors. This place promised to serve best pastas.
We ordered chicken lasagna with garlic bread and hummus with pita bread. Each dish was rich in flavours and texture. Loved the taste
The food here is Epic. Great place to start with. Were here for lunch. Courteous staff too. We ordered the pesto pasta, lasagna, and their pasta specials- pasta spinach wraps. Yummmm. Our greed for their food made us add Their pita bread and hummus too to our order. Icing on the cake 🙃 Must must visit ✌️
Food quality and ambiance is good but it will add service charges in your bill. However he did deduct service charges from my bill once I asked him GST includes all the charges. Overall it was pleasant dinning but just want to highlight service charge issue.
Good food, good portions, well presented.
Music a little too loud to be able to talk comfortably, and it was turned up to be louder until brought to their notice.
Nevertheless staff is attentive and pays attention to clients requests- be it about music , food , or other.
Good food, good environment. The can work on the furnitures to make it more comfortable. Overall pretty good experience. Pizza and fritata were really good.

Ambiance:4/5
Food:4/5
Pasta lovers should definitely come here . Brilliant ambience with good music and quick service. The food we ordered was perfect in all ways. People coming to pondicherry should come here.
Favorite dinner outlet of mine in Pondicherry. Lasagna was delicious and arabiata pasta too. Dimly lit with wide range of boozing options. Soothing music. It was a lovely way to end the day.
We were a group of 10 people and we Went to pasta bar last week on Sunday. We sat there for 3-4 hours, the staff was very polite and friendly. We ordered loads of drinks and foods. The food was amazing and the service was very quick. We danced, sang, had loads of fun but the staff didn’t complain once. I would recommend this place to everyone who’s looking for a chilled out place in Pondicherry.
It's a nice cozy place to sit drink and dine. Nice soft music in background. Snacks are really yummy. Drinks are nice and reasonable. Staff was courteous. Although we didn't try their pasta but they are quite famous for it. Overall a decent place to visit and chill with friends and family.
Located in a corner plot , in MG road, this cafe with a rustic decor, is surely worth a try when you are in Pondy.
This one is famous for its variety of pasta dishes.
We started our lunch with cheese garlic breads followed by the mains- Baked basa fish and Pollo Ripieno(chicken).
While we were expecting something like basa fillet ,the dish turned out to be cubes of fish with onions, and lots of cheese above a layer of mashed potatoes and garlic breads.
The mashed potato was really good, smooth and creamy,but the fish quantity was too less to be honest. Overall the dish tasted okay.
The Chicken breasts were stuffed with minced chicken and paired with a thick semi spicy brown sauce, boiled veggies and garlic breads.
The chicken stuffing was tasty and really enjoyed the dish.
Around 1000-1100 for 2 persons without alcohol.
Loved the experience here. We had white sauce pasta which was very light and not too heavy or sticky. The pizzas crust was good and the flavours were well infused.
Calamari fritters were good too.
Tuna sandwich had an amazing aroma and it was yummy too.
Last but not least, the best cold coffee I had in a while is here.
We visited this place for dinner. Over all experience was good. We had to wait to our table.
You get only minimal to low spiced dishes here. We ordered Pasta, It was good but French fries were not crispy.
It's expensive than usual.
One time visit cafe.
This was definitely a 5/5 experience. Ambience, service, food everything was top notch. The food was just too good 👌👌. The chicken pasta and the lasagna were the best of the lot 💯. Will be putting up pictures of different dishes which are a must try 💯.
Lovely ambience. Loved the food. The pizza and pasta are a must try. Pizza was freshly baked and had a nice crust. Lasagna was very tasty. We loved everything on the menu. The pasta quantity was a little disappointing but we were also 6 people haha.
This was a pleasant surprise. We ordered pizza and loved how flavourful it was. We went the next day and packed a sandwich and burger which were also equally good. The ambience is okay, but I can vouch for the quality of the food made here.
The food served was absolutely a delight to the palate, i would recommend to visit this place on a weekday. The evenings are generally crowded. If you are a R&B genre fan, you would love the ambience and the music they play.
After entering the restaurant, it felt like I came into an old building. But the ambience is very nice once you settle down. The place is nice and cozy with soothing music. Hosts are polite and courteous. They will take extra care of you. Nice place to hangout.
Italian lovers must try here. Taste was so good.
We ordered mushroom creamy soup & and the mushroom cheese starter was extraordinary.
The pizza taste was nice, but the crust was like biscuits.
But the food we ordered was extraordinary taste, highly recommended.
Chic cafe with polite staff and mind-blowing desserts! Tried their Banana Rum one and it raised the bar 10/10. Portion size is good too. Would recommend. 👍🏻
Such a warm and cozy place with great music and an amazing spread of food! The host, Mr. Vinod takes personal interest to take orders and make suggestions 🌟
A fabulous Italian twist to a lovely french tale in Pondicherry 💕

I couldn't help but congratulate the head chef at this place while leaving because he and his team have done a fabulous job in setting up this cafe. After dining at this amazing place, it was a huge standard drop for all other mainstream fast food franchises on my list.
The staff members are very friendly and patient.
1. They have a very nice ambience with comfy seating arrangement and they play calming, classy, non-mainstream English songs. (Though it is not a cafe that entertains dancing, you will feel like dancing in the aisle and I guess they won't mind if you dance for a minute or two. Just make sure you aren't disrupting anyone else's good time.)
2. The best virgin colada and tropical fruit punch I have ever had. (They do have a bar and make cocktails as well, we couldn't order any tho)
3. Pizza Diavolo and Pizza Bianca get all the points. They were thin crusted and perfect, topped with fresh vegetables (could appreciate the freshness with each bite of it), loaded with the right amount of cheese. It was the healthiest pizza I have had till date.
4. This one is dedicated to their Primavera Al Pasta. Neatly textured sauce, balanced creaminess, fusili and the veggies were cooked perfectly. Order in some extra garlic bread to clean the cream off the dish.
5. Pomodoro E Bas (tomato soup) was soothing and delicious.
6. The TLC sandwich was rightly loaded with vegetables and was very filling and it was served with crunchy fries and mayo dip.
I shall leave you with pictures of some of these items just to make sure you do not miss visiting this place at any cost when in Pondy.
Chefs and the staff members here, take a bow♥️
We ordered fish and chips, which were tasty. We also had bbq pizza 🍕... tasty as well and that cheese pull🤤. The ambiance is really awesome with soothing music.
We went to the place based on reviews. Owner and staff were very courteous and attended all customers with equal care. Italian food I think was as per taste of foreign nationals but for my taste it was bit lacking. Price wise, I think you will easily spend 1000 or more INR per person. Parking is on nearby road only. Do try Fried mushroom and cheese balls.
The White sauce Pasta chicken dish was outstanding.For a change the cheese isn't overpowering the taste as in other places
The Veal dish was also good with the taste of Red wine in the reduced sauce coming through well
Thankfully they haven't indianized the taste, so it feels more authentic
The Creme Brulee was outstanding
Quantity and Quality both are up to the mark.
Good Service and very good food.
The ambience was average.
I would recommend asking them for their speciality. You will surely enjoy the food.

Absolutely delicious food and ambience to match. The sausage, pasta and lasagna was great. For Italian food in Pondicherry, highly recommended.
Beautiful experience visiting the pasta bar Veneto. We ordered french fries, pasta and Italian Pizza. All three foods were really fantastic. I will definitely recommend everyone to try and for sure will not disappoint. I will definitely visit next time during my stay in pondicherry. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Car parking is a bit congested.
This is one of the places where you will feel content after you finish your meal. Ordered a Pumpkin peanut soup and spinach ricotta agnolotti in basil flavored cheese sauce with blue cheese.
Was my first time trying the pumpkin soup and it was good. Just a tad bit more peanut flavor than I would have liked. 4/5
The agnolotti was amazing. The spinach ricotta filling was fresh and it blended in perfectly well with the cheese sauce. The cheese sauce itself was silky smooth thanks to the generous drizzle of olive oil ! Thouroughly enjoyed this pasta. 5/5
