Food Bulletin

Trattoria, it seems, has moved up in life. The Italian restaurant and coffee shop at Vivanta (formerly Taj President) that has for years supplied post-partying Fiama pizza to late night revelers, is shut for renovation. “For ninety-two days to be exact,” we were told by the hotel staff.

But while its ground floor space is overhauled – unfortunately, we were told that the food will remain more or less the same but rates will be revised– you won’t have to find a substitute. Tratts has moved up to the closed terrace area, with a blue view of the swimming pool. Not a bad temp space to eat their garlic bread and spaghetti carbonara. Even cafés need to get some air at times.

Getting there: Trattoria, temporary space at the terrace of Vivanta by Taj hotel, Cuffe Parade.
