Description

Set over two levels within DIFC, this Dubai outpost of the Florentine original is a handsome creation – to find it just look out for the bright green door. The main dining room is set around an open kitchen, while upstairs hosts a stylish and comfortable lounge. Meanwhile, the menu boasts all the Italian classics, including chef’s signature ‘calamarata 2.0’ and ricciola e melone.

Review summary

Chic Nonna in Business Bay offers Italian cuisine with mixed reviews. Positive feedback highlights the classy atmosphere, terrace views, and attentive service, including complimentary bread and chocolates. However, negative reviews cite inconsistent food quality, such as underwhelming steak, bland risotto, and overcooked seafood, alongside concerns about value for money. While the rooftop bar and DJ music add vibrancy, issues like unrestricted vaping and meal pacing detract from the experience. The restaurant suits those prioritizing ambiance and location, but diners seeking consistent culinary excellence may find the quality variable.
