Looks promising
Mia Cucina - a new Italian eatery that's just opened in Bandra (Pali Naka). This is where Da Vinci was earlier, right next to Papa Pancho.
The place is pretty quiet and sober and does have an Italian feel to it. It's owned by a Chef, so that's good news.
They pride themselves (or claim to) in serving authetic Italian food. Though the friend accompanying me to the place has travelled extensively to France, Italy etc. and felt that there was something missing in the food. On which the chef said it could be the Indian spinach they have to use, since she had ordered a Canelloni, which primarily had spinach.
For me, the menu was a bit disappointing since they did not have any vegetarian dish without spinach. I ordered potato dumplings that came in a tomato sauce but had no accompaniments - pasta/rice/kaus-kaus/ or even bread. But then again, they claimed that it was a complete dish but I had to order a bread slice since it was too tangy.
Also, I did not like the chocolate cake much - it had a very rough feel to it.
The menu is completely hand-written and explains each course generously. Quite a visual treat. It includes antipasti (appetizers), zuppa (soup), pastas, pizzas, main course, desserts and non-alcoholic drinks . The latte my friend had was apprantly smashing!
The staff was quite friendly and the chef personally came to ask about the food.
All in all a nice place, worth visiting. Value for money.
