I simply love the ravioli and apple pie served at your restaurant. The filling in the ravioli and the thickness of the pasta is on point. The crust on the apple pie is awesome.

Pizzeria Vaatika Cafe is an incredibly quiet place at Assi Ghat. We had a great experience there. Their charming atmosphere will give you vibes. This elevated green garden with a spectacular view of Ganga river is all you need to revive yourself. We had visited there in February 2020 before lockdown but had a great experience. We visited this cafe 3-4 times within a week, and I must say their night view is incredible and sometimes they also have some independent performers who make it more attractive. They have a fabulous menu; Italian pizza is a decent choice. They have freshly prepared & authentic range. We have tried their
Apple pie with ice cream, and it's worth trying. We also tried their cheesy margarita pizza. Their sitting arrangements in the green garden with the view of Beautiful Ganga makes your visit more enjoyable. If you ever visit Varanasi Assi Ghat, must visit them, you will have a great time for sure.

Out of the fabulous menu, Italian pizza is a descent choice. Freshly prepared & authentic.
Apple pie with icecream is highly coveted and worth trying.

Claims to be India's first pizzeria. It was established in 1992.Most famous for its pizzas and apple pie with ice cream. Timings are from 7.30 am to 11 pm. It's better to book your table in advance.

Apple pie with ice cream lives upto expectations. Even if you don't like apple pie, this one is a must try. Chances are high that you won't regret it.

Watching the pizzas being baked in desi tandoor right in front of your eyes makes it a great experience for food aficionados.

Ambience is good. Staff is very courteous. Its location in the middle of Assi ghat makes the view from here extremely conducive to spend quality time.

This place is awesome for authentic Italian taste.
●Order- Vatika special pasta, Cheese garlic bread, Apple pie with icecream.
●Pros- as mentioned, authentic Italian food, amazing pasta, garlic bread was below average, apple pie mind blowing (making size smaller day by day), friendly staff.
●Cons- i feel its high time they should increase the portion size for the price they are charging.
Highly unsatisfied with the portion size.

Ps- i have 4 stars only because of the pie.

Nothing Extraordinary on the taste quadrant, but having a pizza on a rooftop cafe with a view of the Ganges is just wow.
It was a thin crust pizza having a significant taste of Tomato purèe. Rs. 300 for a tomato onion and Mushroom pizza is not my kind of thing. Strongly recommended for the view from this cafe.
However as one of my friend suggested Apple pie with ice cream is best here, I wanted to try it but it was not available on the day I was here.

Pizzeria Vatika was one of our go to places during our long stay in Varanasi. We have tried both Indian (not in picture) and Italian here and both came out tops. They have one of those traditional wood fired ovens which doles out thin crust pizza's. The pizza's are basic but my experience is a good pizza seldom needs more.

Their rotis and naans are lovely too. And do try their drink called Nana Mint (psst they will recommend this to you if you're a first timer). We genuinely regret missing the Apple pie, which we hope to try another time.

The place is casually set by the riverside. Grab yourself a seat overlooking the Ghat/river, and catch a slice of life over a slice of pizza without breaking the bank.

You are in Banaras tired eating local food want to go for a pizza.
This is the best place.
I ordered for a margarita pizza.
I doubt so far I had such an amazing pizza in my life. Along with the pizza it's the view that add more taste to this pizza. You can have look of the entire Assi That through the cafe.

Very nice place on assi ghat, always filled with very good and decent crowd. A must go place for everyone who visits Varanasi and goes to Assi Ghat. The place has ghat facing seating arrangement. They serve very decent above average pizzas and pastas but the show stopper here is their Apple Pie with Ice cream. I make sure to come and have the apple pie whenever I visit Varanasi.

This place serves the best apple pie I have ever had in my life. This place has a open roof place for seating with Ganga river view. Although it bit over priced but if you are ready to spend some money than it's worth trying apple pie here.

Price - 120 ( with ice cream )
80 ( without ice cream )

I will suggest to have it with ice cream, crispy hot apple pie blends with soft cold taste of ice cream.

A few steps above Assi ghat, no one can miss to find this cafe. This place is good for quick snacking. I ordered ginger lemon chai (tea) and apple pie. The apple pie was very fresh and the portion was good. It was quite crunchy on outside and very mushy inside with a generous filling- taste wise it was not overtly sweet. When the chai was served I was confused to find only hot water with julienned pieces of ginger, lemon juice and honey mixed in a glass without the tea liquor. I was surprised and asked the man who was taking the orders about it and he mentioned that most people drink this chai like this 🤪🤪🤪 . Anyways i loved what was served to me as it was quite cold and I relished the drink. Overall it’s a bit crowded cafe with around 20 seaters but worth visiting this place.

If you are in Varanasi and want to try some basic but lipspacking Italian food then you must visit this place which have an awesome view of Assi Ghat.
The owner is friendly and insists you to try their specialities.
We were exhausted and wanted to have something cold so the owner suggested Nana Mint and trust me guys the drink was superb! The pizza we ordered was Vaatika special pizza and was okayish in taste.But the raviolli we tasted was outstanding.It was so good that we gobbled it in seconds and did not even get time to click any picture.For the dessert you must try there apple pie with icecream because it is the best pie i have ever tasted.

In Benares and not beside the Ganga? Not a good idea. And while staring at this ancient holy river, you won't feel hungry? You are not a living human. So for you the best option is simply going up a small flight of stairs and taking a cozy open balcony seat and stare at the Ganga just a couple of meters away while the aroma of fresh good food whips up your appetite and your friendly waiter brings your tasty quick bite and a lovely sippety sip. The best time to drop in is just when evening is about to fall and the Ganga Arati is going to start. It's advisable to book your table in advance. As this is the place where you can avoid the rush and still get the best  vantage view of the sun setting on the river and the Arati. With a comfortable seat and good food. And the added bonus is that you get to meet lots of foreigners here and learn their culture and maybe make a lovely friend or two. And the best food here? Leave it to the friendly waiters to help you as per your mood and pocket size. The prices are cheap though. The only minus point is the toilet, it's a bit away but you dont mind as you get to enter an old Benares house and see it's traditional interiors.

For people travelling to varanasi and want to enjoy the great view of ganga with decent pizzas, this is your place! As you enter,you can see the big brick oven with live pizzas getting ready, the quality is decent,apple pie is great! The place is open air hence no AC but it really doesnt matter during winters.

I am rating it 4 just because of its exceptional apple pie which is the only good thing I found here, the name may be pizzeria, but the pizza was really pathetic. But the place in Varanasi to try apple pie, sit with your friends at the edge of Ganges and enjoy the hot and sweet apple pie with cold icecream, that feeling is beyond words..

Ambience is very good but late services, clumsy staff.

If you're in Varanasi do check in at Pizzeria cafe near Assi Ghat. It serves mouthwatering Italian food and other delicacies. You can also have fresh apple pie here. First time I had this pie and it was so tender that it's just melted in the mouth. You can see the layers of the pie with fresh apple filling. Served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Must try this for your sweet tooth.

Beautifully located cafe on the ghats of Ganga, breeze from ganga and serenity of this place adds to even better vibes to evenings. They serve authentic clay oven thin crust pizzas and pastas and not to mention their Apple Pie with ice cream is a must have deserts. Not advisable to visit the place during noons also people who like pizzas from chains like Dominos and Pizza Hut will not prefer pizza here.

Pizzeria can be a divine place for those who just want to stay close to Ganga as much as they want. The location of this pizza outlet is something which makes it a super hit place.
They only have the outdoor sitting facility. Foreign tourists are regular customers. The view of the Assi Ghat and Ganga which you get from Pizzeria is mesmerizing.
The place has a very ordinary ambiance with basic tables and chairs. The one more good thing they have is the outdoor coolers which are installed near the customer sitting area.
I ordered a Cheese Margherita Pizza and I must say the pizza had a thin crust, the cheese was pretty good and few veggies they sprinkled was giving an extra flavour to it. The pizza was good but not as good as I expected it to be.

P.S. - A must visit place for those who want to enjoy their food with a treat for their eyes too. 😊

One of the finest place in Varanasi to spend the evening.. It is an open roof and open garden restaurant. The ambience is nice and service is even better. They will help you to choose from the menu.. Apple pie is their signature dish and if you are there, then you must have it. Pizza was good and I had a drink that too was good.

It's really worth the hype. The food is authentic and super delicious. The pizza is made in a wooden fire pit and is super fresh and delicious. The Apple Pie with ice cream is a must try. The pasta and Pizza is a bit pricey but the taste is worth the price. The staff are a bit arrogant and not very hospitable. The cafe is right at the Assi ghat.

I recently visited this charming cafe, and I must say, their pizza and apple pie are absolute delights! The pizza crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. As for the apple pie, it had the ideal balance of sweetness and tartness, with a buttery, flaky crust that left me wanting more. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make this cafe a must-visit for pizza and dessert enthusiasts alike.

Pizza is good. But nothing you won't get in any other metro cities. Only attraction is that it is the oldest Pizza cafe in India & Masaan movie was shot here. Average waiting time for a table is 1-2hrs min. We went there at 7.30, registered for a table in a notebook. We got the table at around 9pm and also we had to share the table. Only pizza & pasta was available during that time, nothing else on the menu was available. Apple pie finishes around 4-5pm.

If you are on Assi ghat this is one of the oldest eateries to try out. The atmosphere is lively. The view of the ghat is obstructed with the trees though 😊 I loved the cheese garlic bread. It was delicious. A good place to spend some time when you are tired roaming on the ghats.

Amazing location and good food. We ordered: 1. Olive, jalapeño and mushroom pizza: the pizza was pretty soggy from the Centre as the cheese had melted too much, however the taste was nice 2. Spinach, veggie and cream cheese pasta: this was delectable as the flavors were right on point do try this. 3. Apple pie with Icecream: this was just perfection. Crispy crusted with soft caramelised apples it was the perfect dessert to end our banaras trip.

Cafe is situated at Assi Ghat. We went their at early morning @9:30 am. We wanted to have pizza n apple pie with ice cream based on the review. They serve pizza after 11:00 am so didn't get the chance to have that. However we ordered apple pic n potato sandwich. Apple pie: 5/5, Rs 120/- (A must try) Potato sandwich: 2.5/5 Overall the atmosphere was awesome. Would recommend to visit at evening to enjoy the ambience.
