The US celebrates August 11 as National Panini Day. Tracing its origins to Italy but popularised by the US, the panini is a sandwich made with Italian bread such as ciabatta and focaccia, and is stuffed with vegetables, meats, and cheeses of choice. Much like other foods which can be customised, it is available in thousands of variations across the globe today. On National Panini Day, we have rounded up five places in Mumbai that serve the most flavourful panini.

Italian extravaganza


Mia Cucina is a favourite among lovers of Italian cuisine. Be it anti-pasta or mains, their menu goes much beyond generic pasta and pizzas. The Pesci Panini (INR 415) with crispy fish, tartar mayo, lettuce slaw, and pickled veggies and the grilled Panini Manzo (INR 445) with sliced tender beef, mozzarella cheese, red sauerkraut and caramelised onion are recommended for those who relish authentic Italian flavours.
