The food preparation is overseen by Executive Chef Béla Rieck, and he likes to keep it modern yet authentic. The restaurant focuses on fresh, local ingredients together with fine imported Italian products.

With Chef Béla’s guidance the restaurant launched “Italissimo - The most awaited Italian Sunday Brunch @ Bene”.. So what makes the Bene brunch at Sheraton Bangalore Hotel Oltre Pranzo (more than just lunch).. While some of the most popular dishes associated with the Italian culture include a tempting slice of pizza and a heaping plate of pasta, there is much more to the world of Italian cooking. The Bene brunch theme showcases exactly that! Apart from a delicious spread of salads, starters and desserts, you can also order a wide variety of hatted dishes from a pass around menu. What is delightful about the pass around menu is that you get to enjoy endless portions of your favorite variations of lasagnas, ravioli, picattas, Spaghetti and much more.  It is the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon sharing and passing some of the finest Italian food. The brunch also includes a whole array of bottomless drinks ranging from red and white wine, beers, white spirits and a host of cocktails. Guests can enjoy a perfect meal with live peppy music and other entertainment to make Sunday simply perfect. It’s a perfect connotation of what Italians say: “Dove c'é Gioia c'é Cibo, Dove c'é Cibo c'é Gioia!” (Where there is Happiness there is Food, Where there is Food there is Happiness!)

With a seating capacity of 140 guests, Bene provides alternative dining options of a bar counter, outdoor terrace setting, private dining room or a table in the restaurant. French windows invite people into the restaurant with action, music and aroma from the open kitchen and bread ovens.  Natural light, windows with a view, large and picturesque botanical arrangements and the opening to the outdoor terrace accentuate the fine Italian experience.

The service is friendly and extremely efficient with minimum fuss yet an emphasis on excellence. Upbeat and entertaining music, carefully selected from a master list from Asia composed of a wide combination of Italian, modern Italian, modern pop and rock is played through channel music speakers.
