Mumbai is a city with a mix of cultures and flavours. This is mainly due to foreign influences - like that of the British, Portuguese, Dutch and French - which has blended with the Marathi culture of the city. It is, however, inquisitive to observe that Mumbaikars are always on the hunt to explore new cultures and cuisines without ditching their local favourites like Pav Bhaji, Vada Pav, Misal Pav, and more. These influences have been recognised and presented on our plates by contemporary restaurants.
Here’s a list of five restaurants in Mumbai that you can explore to have a contemporary Italian experience
