Italian cuisine does a lot of the heavy lifting on date night. The flavours are familiar, the plates are made for sharing, and nobody has ever been mad at a plate of pasta.Meanwhile, the “intriguing”, unstoppable run of new openings around the country continues. A rooftop bar in Udaipur is putting Rajasthan in a glass, using ingredients that sound improbable (sangri and camel milk?) until they aren’t. In Goa, a hotel gets its guests to check in at the bar, welcome drink in hand, followed
by state-wide cocktail trails and in-room DIY kits. In Mumbai, an all-day restaurant in a theatre complex cooks almost everything over fire, and a 25-year- old legacy brand creates a cafe spin-off for everyday meals. Restaurant Week India returns with smartly edited prix-fixe menus, and chefs everywhere are tightening tasting menus and thalis, trimming them for light-eating weather. view in [district](https://www.district.in/dining/)[](https://www.district.in/dining/)
