Bengaluru, May 16, 2025: Shangri-La Bengaluru proudly announces the launch of a refined new summer weekend menu, “Dolce Vita Delights,” at its award-winning Italian restaurant, Caprese. Curated by the newly appointed Sous Chef , Chetaan Gowda, the menu is a soulful tribute to the vibrant simplicity of Italian flavours, designed to capture the spirit of la dolce vita in every bite.
With his roots in modern European cuisine and a passion for seasonal produce, Chef Chetaan brings a fresh perspective to Caprese. His summer weekend tasting menu is an elegant blend of traditional Italian culinary techniques and thoughtful innovation, presented through a vegetarian or non-vegetarian prix fixe format, priced at INR 2200++.
Highlights include:
-
Burrata Fagottini: Delicate pasta parcels filled with king oyster mushrooms and Peruvian asparagus, elevated with hints of black truffle.
-
Sicilian Lemon Risotto: A celebration of citrus with candied lemon and a fragrant parsley crumble.
-
Branzino con Salsa Broccoli: Seabass paired with a sundried tomato salsa and tender broccoli, reflecting Chef Chetaan’s minimalistic yet flavour forward style.
With every course, guests are transported to a serene Mediterranean table: from the zesty brightness of a Sicilian Lemon Risotto to the comforting nostalgia of a Tiramisu layered with Tia Maria and mascarpone mousse, each plate tells a story of summer. Guests begin with summery options such as Insalata alla Caprese 2.0, Minestrone alla Caprese, or a luxurious Seafood Bisque, before moving to hearty mains and ending with a classic Italian finale – the delicate dessert with perfect balance of sea salt and sugar to balance the summer.
“Inspired by the relaxed elegance of Italy and the warmth of an Indian summer, I’ve created this menu to evoke nostalgia, joy, and culinary curiosity,” says Chef Chetaan Gowda.
“Italian cuisine has this soulful honesty — an elegance that doesn’t overwhelm, but rather invites you in. With this menu, I’ve tried to express that simplicity and warmth, bringing together the beauty of Indian summer produce with timeless Italian techniques,” shares Chef Chetaan.
Located on Level 18, Caprese offers breathtaking skyline views, sunset-kissed interiors, and a chic, contemporary design that reflects modern Milanese aesthetics with Bengaluru warmth. The serene ambience, paired with Shangri-La’s signature service, ensures that each dining moment feels elevated yet effortless. Caprese’s stunning views of the city skyline, contemporary interiors, and heartfelt service make it the perfect setting for this seasonal culinary journey – available exclusively on weekends.
