- Two Chefs, One Vision: Chef Mario and Chef Mauro Bring Italian Home Cooking to Life in Cena Pranzo’s New Menu
Cena Pranzo, Italian Eatery at Grand Hyatt Gurgaon, is proud to unveil a newly curated menu that redefines Italian indulgence through heartfelt hospitality, generous portions, and authentic flavors – all designed to bring people together. Crafted with soul by renowned Chefs Mario Caramella and Mauro Ferrari, alongside the talented Grand Hyatt Gurgaon culinary team, the refreshed menu captures the very essence of Italian family-style dining.
Tarun Seth, General Manager, Grand Hyatt Gurgaon shares, “This new chapter of Cena Pranzo is deeply personal. We wanted to go beyond simply serving food. This menu is a reflection of warmth, generosity, and the kind of comfort you’d find at a family table in Milan or Rome. With generous portions, soulful ingredients, and flavors that linger, we aim to give guests an experience that feels familiar yet elevated – and above all, Molto Italiano!”
As part of its culinary evolution, Cena Pranzo now welcomes guests with a warm Italian embrace, beginning each meal with a freshly baked basket of signature focaccia and two house-crafted dips that set the tone for what follows. The new menu is the result of a thoughtful curation by Executive Chef Mario Caramella and Chef Mauro Ferrari, who bring decades of expertise and shared passion for authentic Italian cooking. This partnership infuses the menu with bold flavors, creative interpretations, and a genuine love for tradition, creating an experience that is both captivating and elevated.
Diners can now indulge in soul-satisfying classics like Cena Pranzo Spaghetti, Rigatoni All’Arrabbiata, homemade Gnocchi, and Spaghetti “Alla Chitarra,” prepared with finesse using regional ingredients and time-honored techniques. The menu also features hearty, family-style mains such as Roman-style Saltimbocca, breaded Pollo alla Milanese, and perfectly grilled Salmon. A playful twist awaits at the pizzeria, with the introduction of Panizzo, a crispy pizza bread filled with surprises. For dessert, a roving dolci trolley ensures a sweet ending, with the signature tiramisu served generously by the spoon. Complementing this elevated comfort dining, wine lovers will enjoy a 30% reduction on the wine list, making fine pairings even more accessible.
Cena Pranzo continues to be the soul of Grand Hyatt Gurgaon – an Italian trattoria serving fresh pastas and pizzas made with authentic Italian ingredients. This reimagined menu is more than a collection of recipes; it’s an invitation to gather, share, and celebrate life’s beautiful simplicity.
