Worst Restaurant EVER!
Frankly, I am surprised that this place is still doing business. I visited Penne on Christmas day, and was appalled beyond words. The main course was simply inedible. We were a group of 12 people and I can't point out one person who enjoyed, or even have more than a few bites. The fish had a rotten smell, and the food was so bland, almost tasteless. In all honesty, the Pizza was pretty good, and the service was excellent. But in my opinion, a 500 rupee pasta should atleast be better than the sunfeast instant variety, but sadly, it didn't even come close...
My advice: Skip this place

Good food with a even better ambiance
I would really suggest to anyone who goes to this joint to avoid the air condition indoors not because its not good but because the open air ambiance is just too excellent. 5 on 5
The service stood up to the mark. Neither very laggy where you finally thank your dish has arrived, Nor over enthusiast waiters who love to stand and watch as u try to enjoy your food. service was 5 on 5
Food was not in par with the expectations but still very delicious. i would suggest you order something from the 'Chef recommendations' page. food 4 on 5.

Great Food
Amazing Thin Crust Pizzas , one of the best in town, good deserts, price range of pizzas and food is around 350-500.Expensive place definitely, but worth every penny.

Great Ambiance + Good Food
One of my favorite restaurants in suburbs. Perfect setting for a romantic dinner and great decor. The prices are steep but the kitchen is weel equipped with some nice entrees. I rate the pizzas here as one of the top 3 in the city. The portions of the entree could be better though.
Staff and service is expectional. All in all, good place to me if you wish to spend quality time with your better half and gulp down some wine and grab amazing pizzas! Total damage for 2 with drinks would be approx Rs. 2k

Penne : Restobar - Lounge
Nearest Landmarks: Right opposite, Spinach the supermarket. Close to the ISKON Temple and Hotel Ramee Guestline.
Cuisine: Italian
Serve Alcohol: Yes
Parking: Valet available
Ambience;
Penne has two markedly defined areas, the Al Fresco area outside and the fine dining area inside and both have a warm and inviting feel to them.
The canopied al fresco area is landscaped with greenery and thus shielded from the hustle and bustle of the road outside. It would be ideal for a meal combined with a leisurely tête-à-tête or just a languid afternoon/evening spent sipping the beverage of choice over pizza or munching on nibbles.
The uncluttered and cozy elegance of the fine dining area welcomes you with its matt gold walls (I absolutely loved them!) and is softly lit with black chandeliers. The tables were well spaced, keeping privacy in mind. Minor Quibble; I wish the span of the individual tables were slightly more spacious, as the serving dishes were quite large and thus ended up crowding the table uncomfortably.
Staff;
Quick, courteous, unobtrusive and very well informed.
What we ate;
Starters;
Fusilli Con Pollo Arenza (Rs 395) a spicy chicken starter, with bits of bell peppers, flavored with herbs. It was good
Funghetti fritti Al Spin (Rs 235 for 6 pieces) a starter that was made of a mushroom each, packed with a gooey mix of cheese and spinach and dipped in bread crumbs and deep fried to golden perfection. Recommended by the waiter, this one left us salivating for more!
Pizza Trastevere (Rs 395) an oh-so-thin crust pizza, crispy crunchy on the rim and sodden with our chosen toppings in the middle. It came to the table piping hot, straight from the oven.
Pollo Siciliana (Rs 275) was penne and chicken in cream sauce. Delightful!
Rosotto Ortolana con aspa (Rs 295) the most divine risotto I have had in a while. The consistency was creamy and melt in the mouth.
Garlic Bread (Rs 80) Crisp, airy bread slivers saturated just right in butter and subtly flavored with garlic.
Dessert was;
Triple Chocolate Biscotti (Rs 225) 2 scoops of ice cream and bits of chocolate cake covered in 3 different types of chocolate sauces and sprinkled with roasted almond slivers and topped of with bits of biscotti. Though it sounded very tempting on paper, it was a disappointment otherwise. Their version of biscotti turned out to be plain old chocolate wafer biscuits and the sauce was just ordinary melted chocolate.
What we drank;
Since all of were teetotalers, we sipped on;
Virgin Kiwi Margarita (Rs 150) a tangy sweet and sour drink with the delicious after taste of kiwi.
Virgin Black current Margarita (Rs 150) was good too, but I thought it was a tad too sweet, for me.
Iced Tea (Rs 150) was average.
All the ingredients used seemed absolutely fresh, with a special mention to the pizza dough which was freshly kneaded and all the sauces that were flavorful and light. Penne is priced on the slightly higher side, but it’s worth every penny.
