👍👍 A lovely place with good ambience and food. Everything served here was with perfection and a twist. It was like visiting a master chef restaurant. The portions are small and price a bit on the higher side, but every dish is worth the penny and you won’t regret. They serve some good cocktails as well...

    A lovely place with good ambience and food. Everything served here was with perfection and a twist. It was like visiting a master chef restaurant. The portions are small and price a bit on the higher side, but every dish is worth the penny and you won’t regret. They serve some good cocktails as well. Better to Dine in than take out or delivery, so that you don’t miss the beautiful platting. 🥰

    Petisco is a gem! Every dish was unique and and experience on its own. The staff is great at helping you choose the right dishes and their service is excellent. A must visit in my opinion. PS - The flamed chicken stood out the most for me.

    Small plates for the win. Keep this one visiting again and again. Never disappoints. The service is impeccable. The portions are aptly sized with the prices. And the tastes are so unique when compared to everything else. We are always excited to visit Petisco whenever we are in Goa. A very good hospitality experience.

    I usually do not post reviews on Google, I must commend the exceptional quality of the cuisine at Petisco. Undoubtedly one of the best fine-dining restaurants in Goa, Petisco was the first to introduce the small plate system in the region. The food served here is unequivocally outstanding, earning a perfect 10/10 rating in my books. I particularly appreciate the way Petisco blends Goan cuisine with European influences, creating a unique culinary experience. The restaurant's waitstaff are highly professional and well-versed in explaining each dish's components. Regrettably, I cannot recall the specific dish I ordered as my girlfriend had planned a surprise date and took charge of the menu. Nevertheless, every item we sampled was exceptional, as evidenced by the attached photos. I firmly believe that a trip to Goa is incomplete without a visit to Petisco; the way in which the restaurant harmonizes Goan and European flavors is nothing short of magnificent.

    A friend referred this brilliant place. Gourmet cooking. Superb food and very nice / fast service. Live music starts 08.30 pm. The place is spread over three floors. Thank you Team Petisco, for the experience.

    A good place for bar-style fine dining with live match screenings and more. Loves the ambience and service. The service staff were very patient when asked to explain a few dishes etc. We were a group of 5 people and ordered a couple of small plates and large plates with some really great cocktails and dessert to end with, ofcourse. Definitely a good place to try some experimental cuisine in Panjim. We tried Coconut crusted Calamari, Prawns A la planche for Small Plates and Crispy Potato Sage Gnocchi, Herb and Nut crusted pollenta and Homemade Pasta for slightly larger plates. Small or slightly large, the plates increased in size but the portions didn't. And for that price, the portions were really poor. For desserts we tried their coffee creme brulee and seasonal special Mango Punch which is a layered betel-flavoured sponge cake with creamy mango filled deliciousness. Coming to the taste, here's what we loved - Prawns A la planchet, Herb & Nut crusted pollents, Homemade pasta. Here's what we didn't find great - Coffee creme brulee (major disappointment), Gnocchi (potato gnocchi was less of potato and more of flour), Calamari wasn't fresh as the meat was too rubbery. Although I would love to give a 5 stars just for ambience and service etc, the food and portions were a let down considering the hole in my pocket.

    Located in the heart of the City of Panaji, this is an amazing place with decent ambience and amazing food! Tried mocktails, they were amazing! A watermelon mocktail and the punch! The lamb small plate was nice. The chicken bun was lip-smacking, loved the dil gnocchi. The prawns al a plancha was lovely! All were really good. One of the best things I liked was that they use locally grown vegetables like the red amaranthus (tambdi bhaaji) is some ot the dishes! The staff is warm and welcoming. The service and the vibe is lovely and we had a great time at lunch.

    Lovely ambiance and great quality of food. Although the portion sizes are small, the food tastes great. Visit this place only if you are a continental lover, else it’ll prove to be a disappointment as they have little to no Indian food options. I thought the menu was also limited and they could increase the variety. My favourite here has to be the mushroom truffle oil pasta, it was delicious. The plated food and the place, both are photogenic.

    Found this place via a google search. I came here all the way from Sangli and here’s my experience… Had a few dishes which I don’t exactly remember the names of 😅… Food is so much more innovative and out of this world. Cocktails are like you may have never seen before. Overall presentation is really amazing. I was new to this kind of experience and Sanat helped a lot while recommending the food and drinks. The owner comes to the table by himself and asks if you’re enjoying and he seem like he have a genuine concern about the same. Staff is friendly and cooperative.

    Petisco Kitchen and Bar at the Goa hotel is a culinary gem that left a lasting impression on me. The restaurant's ambiance is chic and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a delightful dining experience. The menu offers a tantalizing array of dishes, each expertly crafted with a blend of flavors that showcase the culinary artistry of the chefs. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge about the menu enhanced the overall enjoyment of my meal.

    I've visited this place on multiple occasions and have always left with complete satisfaction of the palate. Each and every dish has its own USP to it & the cocktails are absolutely delicious as well. Looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.

    These guys know how to take you on a rollercoaster ride of tasteful flavours while sitting in the subtly lit ambient indoors of Petisco! Petisco's predecessor TATO have a rich history and have stood test of time to uphold the local cuisine and Petisco takes the bold step ahead with flying colours.. spearheaded by the younger generation. Every dish we ordered was distinct on its signature, From Prawns La Plancha to Steamed Mussels while keeping their original flavours and fusing with the local ingredients the confluence of varying spices and tastes makes every bite special..haha.. Cocktails were good as well although the hot toddy I felt coulve been better and served in a brandy glass.. Penicillin was great though, with a locally sourced cinnamon stick burned on its edge. Calamari was fresh and not rubbery and stale which many other places serve..Calamari when refrigerated for long looses it's taste and gets rubbery.The fish too was fresh and tasty. The limited menu speaks up for the freshness and authenticity of the meals which I would prefer any day. The breadfruit fritter and home made pasta are amazing vegetarian dishes.. Loved the overall feel and vibes .. pricing too is not through the ceiling it's a gem among Goan restaurants I should say.. :)

    Went here on 21/10/23. One of the best fine dining restaurants I’ve been so far. Ambience was pleasant, tastefully lit, live music being played (added to the experience). Ordered a Mocktail ( cinnamon, apple). Was really good. We ordered the Petisco fried chicken, crisp, crunchy, well seasoned batter, with juicy chicken inside, was most excellent. Also ordered a homemade pasta (white sauce), the pasta itself was awesome ( not very thick and chewy, but light and flavourful). But the main culinary treat was the mushroom polenta, which was STELLAR. A cake of mushroom polenta (mushrooms, onion, and seasoning) with sauce at the side accompanied by chicken (optional and may not be required). Each bite pack full of flavour and an absolute treat to the taste buds. PURE BLISS. For dessert we had the blueberry cheese cake, which was chock full of blueberries with an excellent texture and taste. A delightful culinary experience. And the best part of all was to see familiar Konkani words on the menu which gave a really nice feeling, to be eating in a “Neez” Goan premium restaurant. Kudos to the Owner for coming up with this unique idea. Will definitely come here again.

    Great place - all the food and cocktails we ordered were unique and tasty. The dudol cocktail was to die for. I think it’s the tastiest drink I’ve had in Goa. The dishes were also great - the trio mushroom was yummy as were the breadfruit fritters! The chimmichurri was also done differently and quite scrumptious!

  • 5/5 Margot B. 6 months ago on Google
    We had a really good time here! We highly recommend the cocktails (which are both good and beautiful) and the mozzarella dish! Full of flavors, the cuisine was affordable and amazing with a gentle staff. Highly recommended if stop at Panjim!

    The food slapped and the cocktails were the best I’ve ever had. Thanks to Sanat our warm host and the entire staff of the restaurant for making us love this place so much. Really appreciate the assistance of Yash and Sachin. Dev was especially very helpful and fully explained the various kinds of cocktails to us and coco ambo is now our favourite

    The menu is really interesting and use of local ingredients makes their dishes rather interesting with a local twist like the burger served with local Katre pao and tambi bhaji leaves as a garnish.

    Loved the food and cocktails. The restaurant has a very chilled out vibe and is very inviting. I visited this place on two different occassions and loved everything about it. I will definitely be back again.

    Excellent "Petisco"(tapas). Enjoyed the live music, cosy ambiance, very tasty small bites, and good service. Please do not go there hungry or expecting to have a filling meal.

  • 5/5 Shivani K. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the best time here in Petisco during my Goa Trip. If you are in Panjim then Petisco is a must visit. Everything is perfect right from hosting/hospitality, ambience and lipsmacking food. Dishes to try - Prawns Plancha, Mackeral in Tirphal Beurre Blanc, House Fried Chicken, Chicken Croquettes, Fire Grilled Chicken, Roast Chicken, Jambalaya Ukda rice, Orange Basil Bomb. Right from Drinks -starters and mains we werent dissapointed at all. Thank you for the wonderful experience

    Excellent chill out place to hang out with friends, food is amazing and even better are the cocktails. The service from the staff is top notch and the way they explain their selection of cocktails and dishes you can’t get better than this.

  • 5/5 Hitesh Raj B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time at Petisco. A great ambience, excellent service and delicious, gourmet food. There's some chill live music on weekends post 8:30pm (in the basement, but you can hear it throughout the 3 floors) and karaoke on Wednesdays if that's your thing. We tried 5 small plates and 4 cocktails between the two of us. Coconut crusted calamari, queso fries, mushroom with brie, prawn toast, pulled pork sandwich. Everything was amazing and perfectly plated. Pranav Dhuri, the owner, lends a personal touch by visiting the tables.
