Cafe Infinito had us at coffee. Cinnamon coffee. Within minutes of our arrival and a request for the drink, we were served a tall glass of the cocoa and cinnamon concoction. One of us, who peculiarly judges restaurants based on the quality of their cold coffee, said it was a sign of good times ahead that evening, and that it sure was. Cafe Infinito replaces the Mediterranean restaurant, Otto Infinito and now serves breakfast, soups, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, burgers, mains and cocktails.

Bakewell Tart has a warm, fresh crust and all the goodness inside

We started with the Chorizo Ravioli with Honey and Chilli Emulsion and Aubergine Caponata (Rs 250). The dish looked splendid, and was remarkable to taste. The pork was some of the freshest we’d had in some time, and the mildly sweet taste of honey was a pleasant surprise. Next up came the antipasti — a generous portion of the Basil Gnocchi with Harissa Fondue (Rs 275), which, again, was well-balanced. We would have licked that Harrisa fondue clean had we not had company.
