Dilapidated interiors. Great service. Pathetic food. Diva was at one time one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Authentic Italian fare done simply but well, really well. Sadly, the quality of food has gone down the drain. We ordered seared scollops for starters, they weren't available. Instead, we ordered the salmon tartar. It has no flavours except salt. Couldn't see the salmon, couldn't taste it and it sat on a soggy piece of bread. Next up was the pizza Bianca. I specifically asked for arugula to be a part of the topping. It was missing. The base wasn't thin. Wasn't thick. It wasn't crispy, was more like a sad roti done wrong. I could even taste raw flour. I asked for prosciutto on the side and was advised no, as the pizza with all the cheese is already too salty. Funny, I had to ask for extra salt as the pizza lacked seasoning. For mains, I ordered pork ribs. I must have been able to extract less than 50 grams of meat from them. Pathetic cuts of meat and completely devoid of flavour. Boiled meat, without the meat, with sauce. My partner ordered chicken roulard, which was passable and could have done by being finished with a quick sear in a pan, but then for that you need a chef.
I've saved the best for the last. The tiramisu was excellent and so were the flavoured gins.
Our bill for this rather sad, flavour less, soulless meal came to a princely Rs. 11,000
Not going back any time soon.
