a Must try
I wish I had been to this place earlier, we just happened to discover it while walking along Pali naka. Not knowing about the food, we requested for the menu to decide whether or not to dine there. The Layout of the menu itself was appealing- the hand written text style.
The place is small and cosy. If ur not familiar with Italian jargon, the staff will help you out and make suggestions.
Right from the starters the food was good and typical Italian, not spicy at all. for dessert we ordered white cheese cake. not bad at all.
The prices are reasonable and costs much less than Little Italy.Iced tea at only 50/- but though they had three flavoured iced teas on the menu only lemon was available!
No reservations ,so best if you go on a weekday or early on a weekend.
Overall a good place for Italian food lovers.

good
was there last night for an early 8pm dinner. the place itself is okay, typical of the Bandra restaurants in a shop. its kitted out to be nice and comfortable though limited.
i love the menu design, very cool. the food itself is okay, the soup the Toscana was a bean based soup fairly boring, over salted.
the main course was goat cheese and spinach risotto which was pretty great. the home made pasta in tomato was good but too safe.
also had the black currant with soda which was good.
no dessert. service was prompt, slowish but not as bad as i was expecting.
damage 1000 for 2 with no drinks. not vfm.

Bad Service, Good Food
All said and done, the food here is excellent. The 2 stars are for that.
Apart from that, the service is really bad. Once we were seated, they took like 10 minutes to even serve us water and give us a menu card. This in spite of me signalling to the waiter atleast 2-3 times.
They have a very cocky attitude and do not change or alter dishes as per customer preference. I guess they believe that they know it all.
They have made a blooper in the menu card, have included a tuna pizza in the veg section. I pointed it out the 1st time I was there, the manager said that the new menu cards have gone for printing. But they hadn't come the 2nd time I went almost a month after my earlier visit.
The air conditioned section is too smoky, I personally prefer the outdoors.
Now to the main part, food. Food is yummy, right from the wine list, the soups, appetizers, pizza, pasta, desserts. Everything is superb. The waiters are well informed. I remember having the tomato bruschetta which i loved. Also the sundried tomato pizza was excellent. Pastas come in 2 options, normal pasta and organic pasta. They were delicious. Desserts were excellent.
It is a bit expensive, but food makes up for it.
They need to concentrate on improving customer relations and experience.

Very bad attitude from manager
Really like the food here and been a bunch of times. Had a very bad experience the last time around with a manager who told me they dont care about vegetarian or individual preferences of customers and was terribly rude to us(all we told him was that it would be good to tell the people caesar salad here has anchovies as many people including self assume it is vegetarian). He then proceeded to charge us for an entire untouched meal that we had ordered (we had just had two glasses of wine till then). Shame when such good cooking and ambience cant be matched with decent service. Not going back again.

A cute little place
I’ve been to Mia Cucina twice now, once for coffee and once for dinner. Both times the first thing that struck me was the cosy feel that the place had, as if I had chanced upon a neighbourhood gem. They have outdoor and indoor seating and while the outdoor area is great for smokers, I really liked the booths that they had indoors.
The menu is simple but interesting. The wine list however is limited to the Chantilli and Tiger Hill brands while the more popular (?) Sula wine was not available, let alone any imported wines. But honestly, this place is more about the food than the wine (although many will argue the synergies of the two!). We started with the Bocconcini salad with rocket leaves and cherry tomatoes. The fresh, crisp arugula leaves were delish, but the bocconcini itself was a little disappointing, more slabs than balls and not as fresh tasting as it could be. A spinach and goat cheese risotto followed which was light and tasty, and my friend said the home made tagliatelle was also very good. Dessert was a story in itself….and one with a very happy ending! We shared the aptly named decadence chocolate cake. What can I say…wow!! Rich, luxurious, melt in the mouth chocolate, truly a feast for the senses and a must must try. I had tried the cheesecake the previous time which was also very good so I think I can confidently say this place seems to know its dessert.
The staff was courteous and the service was fine. Though I guess a busy Sat night might be a better judge of that than a slower Wed night.
All in all this is a quite a sweet little place that I’d be happy to try again!
