The captivating food knowledge by the Chef uplifts the dining experience to a whole new level. First mention and applause to the Chef and his team for serving some of the best Italian dishes that I have tasted.My quest for best Italian food at Mumbai would have been a never-ending research without completing the brunching experience at Celini.

The Chef’s special four course menu doesn’t happen always and it’s time for the Italian food lovers of Mumbai  to grab the handcrafted Italian Fare that serves the best of Italian delicacies. Along happens the interesting wine pairing . so couldn’t forgive myself for landing up late to the Chef’s table because of unforeseen reasons but everything I ate was truly an experience by itself. So here’s the Chef’s menu.

pasta is never a side dish, its best cherished by itself

 pair the right pasta with the correct sauce 

dont add parmesan to a fish dish.
