Endless bars and restaurants cover the vast spans of Bengaluru, with each one bringing something new to the table every day. If you’re a native, you will recognize several names instantly as they have been around much longer than everyone else; offering a comforting backdrop when needed to play safe. A name jumping repeatedly on Bengaluru’s dining scene is ‘Onesta’, a chain of restaurants become synonymous across the city for it’s good food and budget-friendly prices. There are over 17 outlets of Onesta in Bengaluru alone, a feat that speaks of it’s high popularity. Brunch is an excellent time to visit, as the regulars like to come in early and stay way past lunch; simply enjoying the hospitality of the restaurant. Try the outlet at 15th Cross, 100 Feet Road, 4th Phase, JP Nagar.
Onesta comes up with a superb pleasing menu focusing entirely on Italian food. You will find usual suspects as you flip pages, but the star of the menu remains the ‘pizzas’. Great many toppings, both innovative and classic, are offered by the chef intriguing diners of all kinds. All pizzas are 6-inch variety, leaving one utterly satisfied. Those who want to have something other than pizzas can indulge in Onesta’s silky pastas. Their top-notch flavours lead to a perpetual full house. Open the meal with starters like, crumb-fried prawns, jalapeno poppers, crispy chicken with bbq sauce and so much more. Penne in cheese sauce and chicken & ricotta ravioli are excellent options for main course. In pizzas try these toppings, lemon cilantro chicken, caramelized onion & mushroom, bell pepper & prawn and green chilli roasted chicken.
Put yourself in a sugar coma by polishing off Onesta’s delectable desserts. Caramel walnut tart, tiramisu, mango baked cheesecake, kit kat mousse, apple & pear baked cheesecake and chilli chocolate tart are some of our utter favorites. The affordable rates combined with great pizzas puts Onesta on the culinary map of Bengaluru. This is not a fancy tablecloth kind of place to dine, expect simplicity and informality in an attractive form. Small space is used well by providing lightweight furniture, vibrant Tuscany-inspired mural, potted plants and a general relaxing factor. The idea is to give you a home away from home vibe.
