Celini

Visit 1 I began with Shirley Temple mocktail, and I must say it has to be amongst the best ones I have tried hitherto. I also tasted the sole fish for the first time; I had never seen it in such restaurants. One big square piece with a green covering with vegetables at the side ( although some french fries or mashed potatoes would have been great, too ). The pork belly was amazing, a little stiff to eat, but that was pretty expected since it is slow-cooked for quite a long time. There were two medium pieces along with a sauce at the side and small potato square cuts. For the desserts, I tried a cake; it was good although not the best, with a red velvet-esque covering and plenty of chocolate inside. The ambience is ever so good; the seating capacity is big enough. I am glad that despite a delay, the staff honoured the various offers which were exclusive to a time slot. Visit 2 Firstly, I am thankful to the restaurant staff for allowing me to sit in a different restaurant ( the neighbouring China House; review separately available ) and order. I ordered the sous-wide Pork belly yet again. The default preparation was medium-made, so not very easy to chew. But it tasted amazing, and the portion was quite big. The time taken was about 20 mins, which is the average time for preparing such dishes. Alongside, I also ordered Parmesan French Fries; the first time I had ordered such a flavour. Again, the amount was between medium and large, and it took about 12-13 mins to be served. The taste was quite sui-generis, with a skosh of cheese sprinkled and a light oregano flavour. I was expecting the fries to be dipped in a cheese paste/sauce, but not to be. I would also like to thank my server, Mr Nikhil, for assisting with various dishes, which made the selection easy for me. I also ordered a couple of mocktails, and the bartender was happy to make one based on the fruit base I wanted. One success, one nay! The mocktail, which was supposed to be blueberry-based, was entirely cranberry-based, with a couple of fresh blueberries on top. Another one, a watermelon-based, was made exactly as per my requirements: tangy, medium-power soda and primarily watermelon-based. In the desserts, I tried Panna Cotta, a popular and soft pudding-esque dessert which was medium-sweet. And the award-winning Tiramisu, which was mildly sweet and delicious. Both were of sufficient size. Visit 3 I tried Chicken Milanese, the only deep-fried dish on the menu in the main-course section. The quantity was quite significant - six pieces. It came with a pickled green ( whose name I have forgotten ) and a mildly spicy tomato and herb sauce. The dish wasn't oily, although it wasn't crunchy, either. It tasted fantastic, though. It took over 25 mins to serve the dish, which is quite above the estimated time required for such appetizer-cum-main course dishes. Similarly, the French fries took over 20 mins, and one definitely doesn't want to wait for a dish like this where all one has to do is throw the potato strips into oil, add some salt and serve it. I also ordered a couple of mocktails, and just like the previous time, the bartender was happy to make them based on what ingredients I wanted. One was a dragon fruit-based mocktail, quite authentic. The other was guava-mary, very good but not as medium spicy as I had requested. The sizes were medium for each, and just like the other dishes, took extra time to be served. Time delay is one thing which certainly the restaurant should work on. A bar being there right a few meters away doesn't warrant such a delay to serve mocktails. Again, I thank the staff for allowing me to place orders elsewhere. The sole fish was scrumptious on my first visit, and I am surprised it has been discontinued. Another positive I would like to mention is that the feedback given a few years ago about the quantity seem to have been taken well & implemented. Overall, I observed at least a 25% size increase, which is reflected in the 15+ dishes I had across my previous visits. The rates have more or less remained the same.

Took my wife here for a surprise lunch on our wedding anniversary. She was thrilled. We loved everything about the place. The food was incredible and truly authentic italian, and very good quality ingredients. The atmosphere beautiful too, and the service just incredible. The chef, his team and the waiters were all incredibly hospitable and kind. We even got a pizza and an anniversary cake as a gift. The owner came to meet us and was the most delightful friendly person. We totally recommend this place. Shame there are only 5 stars, we would have give even more!

I recently dined at Celini, an Italian restaurant located inside Grand Hyatt hotel. I must say, the raviolis were absolutely delicious! The pasta was cooked to perfection and the filling was flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant itself has a great ambiance and the service was prompt and attentive. I highly recommend Celini to anyone looking for a great Italian meal in the city.

Celini - the grand Hyatt mumbai This is pure Italian restaurant in the grand Hyatt. Very good place for pure Italian food with good wines and drinks. Place is very beautiful interior is good service was good. We tried one salad one pizza and ravioli pasta. Food was good 👍 Beautiful place for couple. Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Service 4/5 Value for money 4/5 Will sure try next time more dishes.

The Good: The restaurant has a great ambiance and excellent table setting. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. The eggplant parmigiana was outstanding. The shrimp pizza was delicious. My baby loved the special pink pasta made for her. The complementary bread was good but had no variety as per 5 star standards. The Bad: I was served pork meat in my seafood Gnocchi pasta, which the staff kept denying. They made a replacement Gnocchi however this mistake would not be acceptable. I expected them to at least admit and apologize for it. The wine per glass menu is very restricted and overpriced.

We stayed in Hyatt and got a complimentary dining in Celini. We were served their baked bread starters , the dips served were too good. We ordered stuffed chicken and 4-cheese pizza for main course. The chicken was stuffed generously with cheese and spinach. The cauliflower sauce wasn't really complementing the chicken that well. The cheese pizza tasted very good. We ordered tiramisu for dessert which was too good. Loved it to bits. Everybody was very welcoming and was ready to do customisation for our meal. There was a huge crowd which spoiled the ambience with loud noise. Overall, good experience but price was a bit expensive.
