Restaurant Review: Regina Margarita

Regina Margarita, from outer appearances doesn't scream out Come Eat Here! It's only because I had read rather good reviews about it that we decided to venture all the way to Park Road to try out the place.

Well, the tables were all covered in checkered tablecloths in typical Italian style. The size of the tables turned out to be a bit of a problem later though as the waiters struggled to fit the dishes we ordered on the table. The menu took us by surprise. We were a bit taken aback by the prices. Practically nothing below Rs 900.

The complimentary bread at the beginning was just ordinary. So was the chilli oil on the table. We were expecting plain olive oil and butter.

Among the things we ordered was a pizza marinara without any cheese. The pizza was good, made right in front of our eyes, which was interesting to watch. We also ordered a fettucine with chicken mince and a spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil. Both were rather mediocre, the pasta seemed a bit overdone and didn't blow anyone away.

There was a lady walking around talking to the customers who we assumed was the proprietor. The personal touch was nice, though I was glad we had ordered before she came, as I don't like anyone giving me opinions on my order unless I ask for it.

We could hear someone on another table whispering about the cook having changed. Maybe this was the reason we failed to be impressed despite the wonderful review we had read. Though we may go back to grab some take away pizza.
