Bandra, Mumbai's unofficial restaurant district, is getting an Italian eatery that celebrates dolce like no other place. CinCin's heading to Bandra West with a new outlet on June 8!
Mansionz One on Linking Road is now seeing so much action that people should simply camp out there. The much-loved haunt that taught Mumbaikars the art of cicchetti (small plates), wining and dining Italian-style, is expanding after eight years of packed tables. If you've been there, you know the drill. If you haven't? Time to change that.
What's special about CinCin Bandra?
It's sprawled across 4,300 sq ft with 120 seats, perched on the 13th floor with sweeping Bandra views and both indoor and alfresco options. CinCin merges Bandra's social scene with Italian conviviality, making it the perfect spot for coffee runs, leisurely brunches, and sunset aperitivos.
Expect soup shots on arrival, a roaming Negroni & Spritz trolley where you're the bartender, and house-made sgroppino sorbet to send you off. The decor is pure Bandra village energy: terracotta warmth, vintage lighting, verandah vibes, and a Tuk Tuk for good measure. Plus, there's a retractable roof in the alfresco section because open-air dining hits different.
What's on the menu?
Handmade pastas, Napoli pizzas, sharing plates, and meals meant for tables full of friends. Signatures include tajarin, bombette, crostini e zucca, and spaghetti carbonara done right. And with a housemade panna cotta and tiramisu… skip dessert at your own risk.
On the drinks front, they're all-in on Italian aperitivo culture with spritz-forward cocktails, modern classics, and zero-proof options. The wine list focuses on new-world bottles perfect for experimentation, plus house wines crafted by a local vineyard. Signature cocktails like Hello from Sorrento and Midnight in Amalfi seal the deal. And their coffee programme, Cincineria, brings Italian café culture straight to Bandra's coffee scene.
When did CinCin first launch in Mumbai?
CinCin opened in BKC in 2017, dreamed up by Karyna Bajaj as an homage to the Amalfi Coast and her travels. Founded by KA Hospitality, it's now part of Aditya Birla New Age Hospitality.
