    This was such a cute, quaint little Italian restaurant. I’m in town for a work conference and it’s within walking distance of the hotel. The food was delicious and everyone I went with loved their meal choices. They do no separate checks, which we didn’t know prior to dining but was fine with us. I know that can be a little bit of a down side for some.

    Beautiful decor and sensual atmosphere-almost transports you to a different country. The service was top notch. Our server Rosa was very attentive, friendly and helpful with making choices from the menu. She made the experience even better. The manager was also very attentive and made sure we were getting everything we wanted/needed in a timely manner. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to enjoy all of the food since I haven’t been to many Middle Eastern restaurants but I was wrong. I loved everything we ordered. Everything was delicious-well seasoned, beautifully presented and high quality. Some of our favorite choices were the beetroot salad, the honey burrata, the cheese rolls (haloumi cigars), the Bronzino, the chicken kebabs (shish tawouk skewers) the Dubai chocolate crunch bar and the Ashta Bil Asal ( milk cream with Arabic cotton candy). We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return. Highly recommend this restaurant! Valet is available and is added to your bill. Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, impeccable service. A+
