    Good food , good ambience , best service and hospitality , overall a 5 star experience, Although not a ardent fan of Italian food but this place opened my taste buds , Good pizzas and starters , take help of the staff to identify things on menu if in doubt , being a vegetarian myself they have good options , do try tiramisu , parking is available, entry only if you have membership are few pre-requisites, so wishing you a pleasurable experience and a must visit place , prices are bit on higher side and giving service charges is mandatory

    A lovely Italian restaurant, part of the Italian cultural center. Entry is restricted. Membership required Great cocktails. Good wine selection… if quite expensive. Food is decent. Setting is very pleasant and relaxing. Great service.

    I’ve taken out some time to write a review for the place that I’ve adored for the years that I stayed in New Delhi. Diva Cafe introduced me to Real Italian Food around 5 years ago when I joined an Italian class at IIC. Since then I developed some passion for Italian cuisine and further I had a reason to learn how to cook too. And my love for the food landed me in Italy. This place was my first choice every time I was in South Delhi, willing to take my friends out for lunch, dinner or just for a Hot Chocolate or a Tiramisù on a regular day. Their Tiramisù was and still is my personal favourite. Chef Ritu Dalmia set some really high standard for other Italian Restaurants in New Delhi. That’s what makes it a ‘Diva’. Literally that’s what makes it stand out. This place is super clam, relaxing, although the interior is beautiful no doubt, but I preferred to sit outside. The staff is super professional at the same time very kind. Overall the whole experience is absolutely worth it.

    Superb food! Excellent choices of Italian dishes. The food is extremely inexpensive and I would recommend this to anyone who wants the best Italian cuisine in Delhi. The only catch it you have to become a member of the centre. The food and atmosphere is incredible. Incredibly beautiful place with excellent food. The antipasti along with the secondi are incredible. Can’t stop going here!

    Unfortunately it has been one of the least favorable experiences I have had in India. The service was very good, but the food lacked quality. Seafood overcooked and with a lot of salt. The bread basket was reheated and heavily garlicky. This does not match the good quality that characterizes Diva. A pity…. I doubt I'll go back to the restaurant...

    It's among a few authentic Italian cafe in town. You can visit if accompanied by a member, since this is a memebers only place. Great ambience inside and outside. Some authtentic Italian cuisine is a must have.

    I have lunch at Diva's once a week and yesterday I had very good Gnocchi with Porcini Mushrooms, Ricotta Cheesecake and an Espresso Coffee. Although I was satisfied, there is room for improvement.

    This is an amazing and peaceful place for both indoor & outdoor both are available. It's located in side the Italian Embassy Culenter and onlfor those have the membership of the Cultural Center or Italian Library or students. The food is very delicious and fresh, I enjoyed the coffee there.

    The best place to go for dinner, dates, or get togethers. A lovely delicious well curated menu to go for. The authentic Italian taste is what makes it unique.

  • 3/5 Trishala J. 1 year ago on Google
    Divas has always been one of my favorite restaurants and I was really excited about trying out the Italian Institute of Culture branch. While the food was good, the service was terrible. Despite the place not being packed, it took more than 20 mins to even get a menu and more than 45 mins to get a glass of water. Almost 30 mins after placing the order, we were told the ingredients weren't available and we'd have to order something else. Since this particular outlet is for members only, it seemed like the staff weren't interested in catering to guests who weren't members. Even though the pasta was great, i wouldn't visit again.

    The very best Italian dining experience in Delhi NCR.

  • 5/5 nishant g. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome but privileged. Only members and companions are allowed rest no outside visitors are allowed. Food is delicious but a little expensive at the same time it's exclusive & authentic. Ambience adds much more than anything else. It's too peaceful and soothing.

    A delightful experience with warm hospitality. Food was really very good and authentic in taste. Place is very well lit and decorated. Though entry in on membership basis but it is highly recommend to take a membership.

  • 5/5 Anunay G. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb place. Doesn't feel at all that one is in delhi as the cafe is situated inside the Italian embassy - part of Italian cultural centre. Awesome place, very calm and peaceful.

    The food was amazing, especially the pasta. The stawaberry cheesecake was divine. The staff was very attentive, the location excellent, and the ambience is great. you automatically desire a fine dine experience and personalised service. Well regarding service and presentation the place does not disappoint you at all. The menu will intrigue you and tempt you to try something new.

    Very nice place for italian food, tried the pizza and tiramisu. Crew is very friendly.

  • 5/5 Vidit J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great setting in open air for great food. There were no negatives with any of the dishes we ordered. The coffee and desserts were great as well. (First restaurant that doesn't burn their black coffees in order to get it hot enough).

👍👍 Absolutely love their rice combos. Paneer rice is my all time favourite. Great option for dinner, if you work nearby. If you're looking for a place for quick bites, then you need to visit this place.
