Home delivery of food in Delhi Gurgaon has surged in the last year. But, when we think about Italian food in Delhi, we rarely think of ordering in. Would it taste good if packed? Timpano, The Pasta Shop, is doing Italian food delivery in Delhi NCR, and here is our experience.
How do we select our food? Sometimes it is just the ring!
Italian Food Delivery in Delhi NCR
Recently, we wanted to eat fancy but did not feel like going out. During the course of little research, we came across Timpano, a food delivery service that was yet to complete its first anniversary. We liked how the word Timpano sounded musical to our ears. But it appears that Timpano is a variation on an Italian pasta dish. Timpano, the food delivery, no points for guessing, had an Italian menu. That was the next thing that made us approach them for a full-blown non-Indian dinner.
We did things with a twist that evening. For the sake of variety, and an ode to all our vegetarian friends, we went vegetarian that evening. As a result, we had the following selection of items:
Vegetarian Italian Food Order
- Penne with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes in Arrabbiata sauce
- Three mushrooms risotto
- Calzone – curried vegetables with jalapeno cheese
- Potato wedges
- Garlic bread with cheese
- Tiramisu
- Fudgy brownie with hot chocolate
Not to sound overly laudatory, but from Pasta to risotto to Cheesy garlic bread, every dish tasted delicious. As we mentioned, the fare was all vegetarian, but we just did not miss the animal protein. The ingredients were fresh and nothing was overtly cheesy to mask the taste of the dishes. We requested additional green and black olives for our pasta and those were added generously.
Calzone with curried vegetables can be any vegetarian’s delight. Three mushroom risotto was simple, delicious, and cheesy. It was a favorite with kids at home. Potato wedges were just right to satiate our junk food craving on a weekend.
All-Time Favorite Desserts
We tried two desserts. Both were delectable. Tiramisu and brownie fudge were delights for us with sweet-tooth. The brownie looked so good, it almost made us cry.
We weren’t too sure if the food would taste as great when home delivered as it would taste when had freshly-cooked at the restaurant. We stand corrected. Everything was mouthwatering even when packed and sent on a bike.
Packaging
This post would be incomplete if we do not mention the packaging. Apart from the desserts, all items were put in compostable packaging so as to minimise the pollution of Mother Nature. The cutlery that came with the food was wood too. The non-plastic approach was the way to go we thought!
And are we ordering again? Hell yeah!!

What I really like about Italian food, is the wide range of vegetarian options, and Timpano seems to have them all. A very convenient resource to enjoy Italian food from the comfort of your home.
The spread looks sumptuous! Can’t emphasize enough on the colour of the pasta, and the quantity of veggies. It’s so perfect and looks delicious. The breads look well baked too. Can imagine what you must have felt looking at the brownie. It looks heavenly!
Oh my god! Through this post you reminded me of Calzone. It’s been so many years I have had it. Would love to try and order it.
I love this food. Going to try this
I love a good Italian food, especially pastas. The food definitely looks delicious and so good. I will add Timpano to my list and would have loved to have had them near my home for home delivery.
For me, usually it’s the risotto and the calzone that makes the ultimate difference. This place does look to be decent!
OMG, all the pictures are looking
OMG, these pictures are looking mouth watering but I am sure food must be super delicious.
Italian Lasagne is my favorite dish. There are a lot of Italian dishes my favorites like Pizza, Sweet dish, Focaccia Bread, and Risotto. I would love to try these.
Delhi Fundos your post kicked my craving for Italian. It looks wonderful and tempting, previously it was difficult to get authentic Italian in Delhi, but now things have changed. I will definitely try this out.
I love Italian food but ever since I have moved to Delhi, I had been searching to an authentic one. Timpano reviews look good, /I’ll try to order via zomato if I get it!
You would not regret 🙂
