Simply Splendido!
First impressions can be truly deceptive. I went there first on Valentine's day. Needless to say it was over crowded and the waiting time for seating and food was ridiculous - basically too much to handle for a new place. Thankfully, the food was tasty enough and my love for Italian food high enough for me to give it another shot and I was wonderfully surprised. I have been there quite a few times after that and now its high up in my list of favorite restaurants.
The ambiance is really good -the low lighting and white sofas creating a nice feel. The food is very authentic Italian and so is the menu - some of the names can be real tongue twisters! But the staff is courteous and knowledgeable enough to explain and help you order. They will also customize the dishes on the menu if you ask.
I have tried pretty much everything on offer for vegetarians here and I have been impressed by them all - the pastas, the pizzas, the risotto - everything is good to great. Even though the starters are pretty good, they come in small portions - just enough for two to share.
All in all a very nice place for a romantic evening or to chill out with a bunch of friends.

More Kudos to White's Brunch
As if there hasn't been enough said about the excellent brunch here I am still reliving my tantalizing experience. We were contemplating where to go for lunch after a busy shopping morning in Malad. Our choices were Machaan and White. Saffrontrail's review of the White brunch last weekend made our pick very easy.
A 5 minute drive south of Inorbit mall with a left at Vibgyor school landed us at White. The hostess asked us if we were invitees (I am assuming the owners had invited some people over for brunch) We were promptly given a quiet table by the side. Almost all other tables were taken, mostly big families, a few couples. There were finger foods laid out on the bar and alongside the open kitchen. The dessert counter was strategically positioned in the center of the room so as to get you hungry even if you had just finished a 7 course meal. The made to order eggs/salad and cheese counters were outside in the garden.
There were a ton of drink options and about 6 main course options in the preset one page menu. The deal was 450+ taxes for an unlimited brunch, 450+taxes for unlimited beers or wine. Pretty fantastic!
I chose to go for Sangrias, an egg white omlette with sun dried tomatoes+mushrooms+olives, a ton of finger foods (that I don't remember the names of.. there was a turkey salad), some excellent carrot and orange soup and a tomato risotto for main course. Other orders on the table were- a yummy pineapple + lychee +ginger mocktail and a couple of Vegetable stacks, one with Asiago Cheese. All of it excellent!
For eating like pigs for two hours, the three of us paid all of Rs. 1953 (included 3 Sangrias).
The orders were brought out promptly. One of us on the table was vegan and it's usually pretty hard for us to convey this to the restaurant staff, but not this time. There were no goof ups with specific orders and no delays. Just when we were finishing up, Aditya, who owns the business came by to our table to greet us and asked us if we had enjoyed the meal. Just the final touch we needed to keep coming back to this wonderful little hidden treasure.
Only gripe - There was no coffee. Aditya said they were having problems sourcing consistent coffee beans. Hat's off for maintaining such great attention to detail. A brunch is just completely perfect if it can end with a cup of steaming espresso - so hopefully when we go back next time we'll get some excellent coffee to wash down our great italian brunch.
(We had no room left for desserts and regretted that all the way till dinner time but alas that would have also meant another 30 minutes on the treadmill )
TIP: Don't have ANY breakfast if you plan to head there for lunch - perhaps have a light dinner even the previous night if you really wanted to enjoy this brunch- there is just a ton to feast on.

amazing brunch
Visited white for the brunch today & was pleasently surprised to find out that the brunch offered so much for such an affordable price.
At first found it difficult to belive my fellow burrpers but yes one must see it to believe it & be there to experience it
To say the least the buffet with finger foods was well planned the entrees were great and the desserts were just the finish required
this should be my regular sunday afternoon place now on..

Non-Veg spread equally good
Saffrontrail...if you vouch for the Veg spread, I just have to add Non-Veg spread is equally good.
This is worth an experience - Don't miss it guys - I have my own doubts whether the owner will be able to continue this buffet - a steal deal - for a long time.
So make the best of it - rush to this place on nexxxt Sunday!
See you there - Say BURRP loudly and I am sure another burrper will appreciate that
Ciao!!

5 stars to the Sunday Buffet
11 of us decided to try out the Sunday buffet here on the basis of a review by a fellow burrper below.
There have been a couple of negative reviews after that, but I'd really put that down as one off experiences as our earlier visit for a dinner (when they had opened up few months ago) was a great experience too.
Since I'm vegetarian, i can vouch for the vegetarian stuff served.
Each one is allowed selection of one mocktail from the menu provided. There was quite a huge selection of starters, right from two types of bruchetta, salad, pesto stuffed mushrooms (large sized), terrines, sauteed peppers and zucchini, caprese salad (the cheese here was not upto the mark), and baguette slices with broccoli almond pate. There were more items lined up, which I might have tried but do not recollect right now. Two soups, one cold zucchini-creamy soup and a Tuscan bean soup was on selection too.
For the main course, each one could choose from the decent variety of vegetarian (pizza / pasta / risotto / ragout) and non-vegetarian entrees (fish / lamb /chicken).
Among some of us vegetarians we managed to try the two vegetarian pizzas (must mention that each pizza is a 12 inch woodfire oven baked thin crust delicacy), the wild mushroom ragout with polenta, the pasta in basil pesto sauce and the risotto with vegetables in tomato salsa.
This risotto was excellently done, despite not using the usual creamy base and not being loaded with cheese. Strongly recommend it. The vegetable pizza was loaded with fresh vegetables (no skimping here and they were very fresh too).
Though I gave the dessert station a miss, i did try out the figs poached in wine and the fruit tart a taste from the hubby's plate and they were very good too. There were donuts, cream filled donuts, chocolate cake, cookies and lots of other stuff to choose from.
Besides this we ordered some garlic bread, an extra mocktail and some coffee, none of which they charged extra for - which was quite a pleasant surprise. (don't know whether these were thrown in complimentary for the big crowd we went in as).
There was also a cold cuts station, a cheese station and salad bar on the outside section, which I did not taste from.
A special mention must be made about their hospitality, where they offered to make an 'off-menu' maincourse for our patient who was on a heart-friendly diet - they got him a steamed pomfret with broccoli with an excellent sauce on the side. I cannot think of any restaurant's buffet going to this extent to suit a customer's diet preference.
Overall, we spent almost 3 hours within. For 400 bucks per head (EXCLUSIVE OF TAXES), this is a steal of a deal. I'm sure a 12 inch pizza on their a la carte costs as much, so you can imagine what a value for money buffet they have put out each Sunday.
Even if you live in SoBo, you can combine some activities on this side of the suburb with a great meal here, or probably head out to Inorbit mall after the lunch (which is going to take plenty of effort after feasting on such good food). We took around 25 min to drive down from Juhu, so it really itsn't FAR by any measure, especially when such delicious food is at stake.
If you live in the Western suburbs, and if you love good food, go there next Sunday and you wont be disappointed at all!
