List of Italian Restaurants in Dubai
1. Pierchic
In Dubai, you’ll find plenty of restaurants to choose from if you’re looking for a romantic date night. Recently however, the famed chef Beatrice Segonsi has been doing something different at her celebrated restaurant located in Jumeirah Al Qasr; she decided to make it an Italian food only establishment.
Though there are many great dishes to choose from in this restaurant – out of all the options, what you should try first is their homemade pasta made by the award-winning Chef Beatrice herself! Think about getting their buttery seared scallops served over mushrooms and hazelnuts as well as some ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach or any other dish that might use their thin yet crispy wafer-like potatoes!

It was a joyous evening when we ventured out to this romantic hideaway. With its proximity to Dubai’s most popular dining destinations, there are plenty of memorable dishes to try here. Soft candlelight greets us as soon as we enter the doors and our eyes settle on the crisp table linens.
Warmth seeps throughout this place despite its open floor plan; it reminds me so much of my grandmother’s home back in Italy! Their appetizing menu lists many different cuisines so everyone can find something they love.
My personal favorite dish is their homemade tortellini stuffed with ricotta cheese and sautéed spinach before being smothered in a rich cream sauce complemented by just a hint of black truffles – absolutely divine!

You’re certain to taste an elegant dish every time – no matter what time of year it may be or what are on the menu.

Their dishes are some of the best you’ll find in town, including pasta with parmesan cheese and gorgonzola cheese or Lasagna made with Rigatoni Biryani.
