Most of the food was heavenly. The ambience and decor were tasteful as well. Good music. I hate it when its too loud in a restaurant but this was at a proper level. Quick service even on a crowded Saturday evening.

We were quite attracted by the name of this place so decided to visit this place. Ohh, we loved the ambience as soon as we entered this magical place. The bar counter was literally glittering, shining with all the drinks bottles which were placed so nicely. The place is quite small yet roomy if we may say so. Loved the lighting the crockery etc. Coming to the service the service was fantastic. They took care of what we needed very nicely. Humble and sweet staff.We had -Pickled Mushroom and Chicken Paco in starters - though the portion size was small, the taste was outstanding. Loved the chicken paco it was full of flavours. It was creamy and juicy. It was served on some crunchy bread kind of thing both the crunchy bread and the chicken went with each other very well.Ohhh. The Pizza.This place is famous for this freshly baked thin crust pizza. And guess what we had one.Pomodoro Pesto Pizza - ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVED THE PIZZA. It was baked nicely, the pesto sauce was fresh. The perfect amount creamy with perfect amount of crunch. 😍 . Topped with fresh basil leaves made it more authentic.Food - 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5Ambience - 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5Service - 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5Price - 💸💸💸__Follow @we.eat.everything.delicious on *Instagram* and Follow We Eat Everything Delicious on *Zomato* for more yum content.

The service and food was good. However, the food quantity is not worth the price. The meals werent filling enough and that was extremely dissatisfying. The desert had only 3 options which was not great either.

#finedineWe went to this place for our Anniversary and we were very much pleased... It has a very classy ambience with the huge alcohol wall... The service was very polite and cordial.. Our server Vishal was very courteous and helpful in selecting good options from menu... The food was delicious especially the tortellini pasta was mind blowing... And of course its famous godfather dessert was just amazing...

This place has an interesting and somewhat odd ambience. There’s a psychedelic animated posters which can be annoying if you’re in the line of sight. It also has some weird posters which at times remind you of x-rays of the pelvis and some other funky designs incorporated into a poster. It leaves you confused about the theme of the restaurant.The bar counter is a sight to behold... I thought I should say something positive.On to the food... we ordered the kingfish which was paired with the pesto sauce. Both those elements were good in isolation but didn’t quite gel.We also ordered the pork chop. Ended up exercising my hand in my attempts to cut through the tough meat. The barbecue sauce was good though.I wouldn’t go back to this place a second time.

Ordered spaghetti in white sauceThe food quality was nice, so was the ambience and staffHowever, the food quantity was two morsels.When the helper bought the bowl, I could see 70% of vase and barely 30% of food. The funny part was when she served on the plate and she herself knew what was wrongUnfortunately for the both of us I had forgotten to carry my Sherlock magnifying glass to solve the number of noodles in the plate

The food is really good in terms of quality and taste. They however are not serving alcohol as of now. Located in palladium/ phoenix its surrounded by 4 other restaurants. Be careful of the metal flooring which is extremely slippery.

Its located on the 2nd floor of Skyzone. It offers more of tapas kind of food options in pizza and stuff. I found the normal Pizza Express to be much better than this overall. The ambience is good and staff is very courteous. Service too is on point.

What a place to unwind a great evening, a restaurant is part of Pizza Express chain of restaurants, had great western cuisine with influence from Europe,we had Singapore Sling from well stocked bar, we began with small plates collection a mushroom trilogy with parmesan lavash on intense mushroom pate, a thin crust pizza to share, spaghetti Alio Aioli with right garlic flakes and olive oil with pepperoncini, and mushroom risotto with hint of truffle made a divine dish, and then came a surprise of God Father Box of Cigars with surprise of Tiramisu Cannoli looks like Cuban Cigars with created frozen smoke aired in box all in all best place with good service and decor.

Authentic Italian cuisine and a fabulous vibe. We called for the Cottage Cheese Cigars, the filo pastry was super flaky and buttery and the filling was creamy and delicious. A bit on the pricey edge but a good experience.

Ambience is very good. Yea its a type of fancy restaurant so they are charging for its ambience and services they are providing. Food quality is good but quantity is less as compared to price. One must try once.

Was pampered to the T because it was my birthday. There staff is caring in the truest sense. They didnt have something on the menu but they made it for me. The food is yummilucious. The best part is their dessert. The recommended Godfather. I loved the packaging of it too. Although its a sit down dinner place the ambience is that of a pub. The magnanimous bar steals the thunder.

Great coustmer service.Very polite. Will literally give you the feeling that you are visiting a five star restaurant and not a restaurant in a mall.Enjoy Mr Vishals great service.One bonus point, visit this restaurant in off peak hours such as 3pm -5pm, this time the restaurant is empty and you can experience the best possible courtesy from their side.

Ambience 5, Service 5, Taste 4, Portions 4.New addition to High Street Phoenix. We did not have a reservstion but were slightly early for dinner so managed to get a table. Decor ambience is amazing. They have great music playing to set the mood. The place started getting full as time passed. We (3 adults and 2 kids) ordered a pizza, a starter and a risotto. Portions turned out to be small. Enough for a average/ below average appetite. Sufficient for diet concious folks. We then ordered a pasta and one more pizza. The food was slightly on salty side. Once we gave the feedback the second order had proper salt. The service and staff was extremely friendly and very attentive. All in all a good place with great ambience. 4 stars from me.

We visited the place on a dry day. I think my rating would have been a bit higher if we had alcohol! Anyway, the place is really cool with amazing ambiance. Loved the decor and music. The staff is polite and quick. They were kind enough to accommodate us in spite of not having reserved a table. My major issue was with the food. Everything seemed store bought and put together, not cooked fresh. My vegetarian salad had an egglike aftertaste, like it was somehow contaminated while preparing. My friends pizza had pieces of sousage that were over salted- probably preserved and refrigerated too long. My spaghetti was a bit rubbery. Fresh spaghetti is supposed to be much softer. For the amount I was being charged, the experience was underwhelming to say the least. I have honestly had better tasting food for much cheaper with similar service and ambiance. I dont think I will be going back. The place definitely has potential, I hope they improve.

Review №48

The portion size was awfully small, not just for one dish, but both the dishes which we ordered. The wait staff did not pay any attention to my table: at least three of them; right through the meal, they continued to chat amongst themselves and loiter around with their back towards me, occasionally turning around without making any eye contact towards my table so much so that I was forced to call out loud to grab their attention, on more than one occasion

There was this one episode in a satirical TV show where central characters manage to get into a fancy uptown restaurant only to be disappointed by the overly expensive minuscule portions of tasteless food.Runaway project which tries to bankroll on the goodwill of its parent concern PizzaExpress is a real world example of that satire.Located in the noisy second floor of the new Skyzone wing in the Phoenix mall complex, this restaurant has a classy lounge like ambiance where any notion of classiness fades away due to the deafening loud music that they play. Apparently, there is a competition going on between Runaway, Soda Bottle openerwala and Chilis where each tries to outdo the other by raising their volumes. The scene is worse than a foul mouthed politicians rally.My small group decided to order two pizzas and an appetizer. Let me tell you that the pricing here is unforgiving. It is more expensive than the likes of Indigo and the food is neither good in quality nor quantity. I sometimes wonder if they are just extracting the prime locations expensive rent from the customers.Here is what we ate :[1]Cigar Club - Described rather fancily in the menu as Filo cigars of cottage cheese and marinated roasted peppers, spiced mayonnaise and balsamic glaze.I wonder if they got a PR professional or a Food Blogger to write this fancy piece of falsehood.The Spiced mayonnaise and Balsamic glaze were nothing but a few droplets sprinkled randomly in the ugly presentation above. Cottage Cheese translates to paneer here so its rather a cheap Paneer pastry snack that you can buy in most local street bakeries in Mumbai. The taste was dry and it required a dip like accompaniment which seemed to be missing. And Id rather not call these six small pieces of puff pastry as cigars. Not to mention if your are paying INR 475 plus taxes for this - you expect a satisfactory portion size and a little bit of effort into making it look appetizing.[2] Hawaiian Pizza - The Pineapple on pizza trope might trigger some pizza enthusiasts but fear not, they replaced actual pineapple with Pineapple paste(chutney). This pizza which is priced at an unforgiving INR 625 plus taxes, was smaller than the smallest of pizzas offered by most pizza exclusive places. It was rather unsatisfying to say the least. The menu strangely doesnt even mention the carpet bombing of Basil. The basil leaves completely ruin the flavor profile of this pizza. It seemed like a last minute addition by an inexperienced but over enthusiastic chef.[3] Giardiniera Pizza - Recommended by the server for the vegetarians in the group, this was a visually displeasing and overdone pizza (Burns on the crust). Needless to say that it was too less even for one person - let alone be split by two people. The only thing big about this pizza was its name, one wonders if it was actually suggested by Dr. Shashi Tharoor.This was definitely not worth the INR 625 we spent on it.As the grub was far from satisfying or filling - we ended up going to Chilis next door to fill ourselves up. While there are similar expensive places around the city - the portion sizes there at least fill one up. Indigo has gone down in quality over the years but its pizzas at least feel satisfying, the same can be said for the pizzas at a place like Pizza by the bay.The Runaway Project only appears to work on fancy nomenclature and paid promotions via prominent(but misleading) social media personalities. The ambiance is killed by the overly loud music, the pricing is bad and the food fails on all fronts.Would I recommend Runaway Project to anyone? No.Id have to say at this point - if you want a drink - go to any bar themed restaurant in Phoenix. If you want a pizza go to Indigo or Francesco. If you want good mains - Go to Smokehouse or Delhi Heights.

Beautifully executed.Here is what we tried and recommend,Nibbles, these you just cant miss -House marinated OlivesStuffed PeppadewSmall Plates, very flavourful, ingredients complementing each other, every dish was a perfection by itself - Must, must haves are,Artichoke & Asparagus PacoBaby Corn SkewersThe ImitationMainsPadana pizza - Pizzas are another level here. Beautifully presented with the salad dominating the centre, Pizza was baked to excellence. You have to try them.Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina - Another dish, wonderfully done.Our Total experience was impeccable, from the ambience, to hospitality, to the food.All this comes with a price, but absolutely well worth.This is a place you just cant miss, if u love Italian Cuisine.

Its a great dining experience with quality food and xtremely courteous staff especially Kanmi to name one. With the menu curated by Chef Vicky Ratnani and the theme of fashion well demonstrated in the names of the dishes which are very well presented by the Sous chef Jerry Thomas and also the larger than life interiors make it a great dining experience. Bon Apétit.
