K3: A Journey Through Italy — JW Marriott

JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity launches "K3: A Journey Through Italy," an immersive dining event at its K3 restaurant starting today, May 15, 2026. The 10-day showcase features a special menu curated by Italian Chef Paride Novello, transforming the space into a regional Italian culinary experience. K3, located on the third floor of JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity near Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, specializes in multi-cuisine fine dining with panoramic views of the hotel's gardens. The venue seats about 120 guests across indoor and alfresco areas, drawing Delhi's elite for events like this. ### Who Is Chef Paride Novello? Chef Paride Novello hails from Piedmont, Italy, with over 15 years in high-end Italian cuisine. He currently leads kitchens at several Michelin-recognized spots in Europe and has collaborated with JW Marriott properties on pop-ups before. For this event, Novello designed a menu spotlighting Italy's diverse regions—from Ligurian seafood to Sicilian desserts—using imported ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes and Aceto Balsamico di Modena. Novello's curation emphasizes authenticity: "We bring Italy's soul to Delhi through flavors that tell stories of each region's terroir," he said in a statement to LocalSamosa. The menu avoids fusion, sticking to classic preparations like handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas. ### What Does the Menu Include? The multi-course menu, priced at ₹5,500++ per person (excluding alcohol), rotates daily to cover Italy's 20 regions over the 10 days. Starters feature Ligurian pesto trofie and Venetian sarde in saor. Mains highlight Tuscan bistecca alla fiorentina, Neapolitan Margherita pizza from a custom oven, and Lombardian risotto alla milanese. Desserts end with tiramisu from Treviso and gelato from Emilia-Romagna. Vegetarian and Jain options mirror the omnivore menu, with adaptations like eggplant caponata from Sicily. Wine pairings, available at extra cost, draw from an Italian-heavy list at K3's bar, including Barolo and Chianti Classico. The full menu PDF is available via reservation confirmation. Pairings are guided by K3's sommelier team, who recommend Prosecco for aperitivi and Amarone for red meat courses. ### Event Format and Ambiance? Beyond food, the showcase includes live cooking demos by Chef Novello at 7 p.m. daily, regional Italian music, and decor with projected maps of Italy's regions. Tables seat 4-10, with private bookings for up to 20 available. Dinner service runs 7-11 p.m.; no lunch sessions.
