Pasta Street’s Manish Kumar on Expanding Italian Dining in India

Pasta Street’s Manish Kumar on Expanding Italian Dining in India

Manish Kumar

Published on February 28, 2025

Pasta Street has carved a niche for itself in India’s casual dining scene, offering a slice of authentic Italian flavors with a modern touch. At the helm is Manish Kumar, Executive Director, who has been instrumental in shaping the brand’s journey since 2013. Under his leadership, Pasta Street has expanded from a single outlet in Bengaluru to multiple locations across India, with ambitious plans for further growth.

We sat down with Kumar to discuss what has fueled Pasta Street’s success. He recalls the defining moment—the launch of their first Bengaluru outlet—where they realized the demand for high-quality Italian food in India. That confidence has propelled their aggressive expansion strategy, including the recent flagship restaurant in Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh, which he sees as a milestone in establishing a strong presence in Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, and Noida.

But expansion is not just about numbers. Kumar emphasizes that authenticity is key, with Chef Gianluca Zorco curating a menu that stays true to Italian roots while subtly adapting to Indian tastes. From sourcing ingredients from Italy to maintaining high service standards, every detail is meticulously planned. Their focus on company-owned outlets rather than franchising ensures quality and consistency across all locations.

As the Indian F&B landscape evolves, Pasta Street is adapting by offering vegan and gluten-free options, enhancing experiential dining with open kitchens and alfresco seating. Kumar also aims to bust myths about Italian food, showcasing its simplicity and diversity beyond just pasta.
