What made Fifth Avenue Hotels & Resorts foray into specialty restaurants was the lack of authentic Italian Pasta chains in India. The globe trotting food loving people of Chennai welcomed the Pasta Bar Veneto – India’s first chain of Italian restaurants with open arms. Soon The Pasta Bar Veneto became the talk of the town and was featured in many publications for its authenticity and ambience, followed by a plethora of awards such as the Times Food Award for the best Italian restaurant 2011and Network 18 award for most popular pastas. What makes The Pasta Bar Veneto truly remarkable is its classy décor, lively music and warm service
Under the pioneering leadership of Mr. Vinodh Sharma, Managing Director, The Pasta Bar Veneto has opened four restaurants in Chennai and Pondy and another ten planned in the next six months, delivering the classic Italian dining experience to the mature Indian palate.
The next step towards franchising has begun with four new franchised restaurants set to open in the next two months. The restaurants have been conveniently classified Grande, Prima and Dolce based on the size of the space, thus being flexible in terms of the location, to cater to the myriad populace across the country.
