Having Saturday off from work has it's advantage. One such Saturday Nitika and I decided that we must try and dine at a suburban joint since there weren't many in South Mumbai which we had not experienced already. A few searches at burrp made us decide that it would be Mangi Ferra that night.
Mangi Ferra is an Italian resto-bar settled in one of the by lanes in Juhu. The dimly lit place kind of makes it difficult to read their menu which uses a very fancy font. Although they have a wide range of wine to select from they serve only the house wines by the glass which can be disappointing if you don't have enough drinkers at the table.
We started the meal with the wok tossed mushrooms in cajun spices. A good change over the typical mushroom in olive oil. When ordering the main course I was excited to see the Ratatouille on their menu. I had never had this and to be honest after watching the little mouse movie I wanted to surely taste this one. We ordered the vegetarian dish and it was served with some tasty corn polenta. If you've never had this, go ahead and try it the next time. The pizza capricciosa was a regular thin and crispy - nothing special but nice.
It's a rather popular joint and weeknight reservations are recommended. A pricey place where a meal for two will cost you Rs.500 per head and that's no alcohol included.

Celebrated my S-I-L's Birthday at Cafe Mangi at Bandra with a bunch of Friends. Along with a whole list of items we ordered, the Pizza Solstice (with Sausage and Feta Cheese) came with pieces of Sausage that one would have to hunt with a Microscope. On enquiring, the Manager mentioned that the Sausage was over and that was the last half that the Chef used. Is that my Problem?? The Manager was kind to apologise and offered a Free Dessert (the Best way to solve a Guest Complaint) but we politely declined. The same was brought to the notice of the Chef.
They have increased the Menu prices by 15% (on the already high priced Menu). Definately not worth paying 550 bucks for a Flour base with a rub of sauce and cheese, the fillings were missing!
