No words can describe the food. It's absolutely the best Italian food you can eat in Abu Dhabi. The place is adorable, music choice is great and makes a great atmosphere, staff are very attentive and friendly. Loved the place.
Arianna is very helpful with the food & wine pairings. The truffle menu is phenomenal. A lot has changed with the interiors and the outdoor view is stunning. Must visit if you're in yas. Service is excellent, food is on time, & definitely fits the global scale of best restaurants :)
The view is so beautiful best food the employee they are so friendly & professional , I really love this place
Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great views!
We went here for a dinner. We ordered several items. I took a teriyaki salmon. It was delicious although the sauce was too sweet and most of us we did not finish it.
The staffs are very professional.
I would still return back to this place to try another meal.
A for Ambience. Thought it was an Italian fine dinning restaurant when we decided to visit. Turned out that in addition to Italian food they also specialise in Japanese. Both cuisines are done beautifully and the service was good. Higher end of the price range but good value for money.
Staff were extremely polite , helpful and very welcoming.. food was great .. bresaola was perfectly cut , black cod was amazing ! Dessert was spot on !
A stunning restaurant with a more stunning view of Yas Marina. First we have the drinks make the most delicious cocktails down to the best whiskey sour I have had. Fresh and stunning magnifico pasta that is divine down to the last bite. Delicious sushi as well. Great restaurant and let’s not forget the friendly staff and amazing chefs. There passion for delicious food reflects everywhere
Have an authentic Italian touch to them.
The food not the best Italian I have had. However, the service was very good and friendly.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thanks to the waiting staff.
Have been visiting thx restaurant for birthday dinner. View from the restaurant is stunning. Service is excellent. Food is quite tradition, however a bit too salty. Ice cream is my favourite throughout the dinner. Will definitely go back in the future
Blessed with an extremely fortunate location, overlooking the Yas Island Marina and the F1 Circuit, Cipriani is a star among restaurants in the UAE capital. As we approached, the vibe was happening, and we could have been in Monte Carlo or Marina Del Ray, California. Children happily playing in the colourful water fountains is part of Yas Island’s family entertainment.
The place is fabulous, the waiters are impeccable, the service exceeds expectations. The view from the terrace is magnificent ! Two things you MUST try: the Crab salad and the Tiramisu ! I would always go back there anytime for these 2 dishes !
Welcome to Cipriani! A piece of land from Italy that you will find in Abu Dhabi!
I'm so overwhelmed to see the decor of this place. Quite polished and soothing.
I ordered eggplant parmigiana which was awesome in taste. Also had all time favourite white sauce pasta which was bon appetite!
Coming on desserts! I had Mille Foglie and Crema antica which tasted goodish to my taste buds. But Tiramisu which I ordered latter was the cease for mouthwatering!
Staff is very polite and serving is fast!
PS:- This place is highly recommended when Sebastian Vettel will drive you crazy.
I'm talking about F1 in Abu Dhabi folks! Yas Marina Circuit.
Kudos!
Was great place for a family dining and I would suggest it as a good place for a romantic dinner too. Although I wasn't satisfied with my choice of Mixed Platter of Shashimi (12pcs) and beetroot salad which tastes like nothing special, my cousin and aunt enjoyed their Hamour and Seafood Udon. Amazing customer service and the view is wow if you chose to sit outside (while the weather is quite good).
Unlike the other Italian restaurants here, their menu is limited to a few dishes but all worth a try & you must MUST try their vanilla ice cream. Best Italian in town!
Beautiful set up, nice staff but they don't look honest , especially during formula 1 season, they look at you as if you were a walking pigeon ready to spend ... appart from that, the menu is good , as good as an fairly exclusive restaurant in south of france , prices are outrageous ... not a regular for sure
Perfect place for dinner. BEST burrata you'll ever have in Abu Dhabi, the main reason I keep going back is their burrata. The gnocchi is delicious too. Love their vanilla meringue & tiramisu as well.
We went for dinner with friends last week. Sat outside but it was too windy to be comfortable. They were kind enough to provide shawls for the ladies and had heaters. Inside is tastefully decorated.
The two menus are a bit confusing with high end Italian and Japanese together at one restaurant of that stature.
I had calamari starter which was average. My veal al limone was amazing and the portion very big.
Not sure I'll be rushing back but the setting is gorgeous and might try other items on menu should we go again
One of the best cipriani's out there. The food, services and decor is great. A bit expensive, it's good for those special occasions!
One of the best Italian restaurants in Abu Dhabi!! Great food, staff and atmosphere!! Their buratta cheese melts in your mouth and you can end your day by have the tastiest slice of heaven "meringue cake" it is a must!!
Came out with a mixed feeling about this place.. Good decor and ambiance, fairly good service but the food had its hits and misses. For appetizers I had the Wagyu Beef Sashimi, prawn tempura and the soft shelled crab .. The sashimi and the crab were very good, the tempura was all right. For my mains I had the Wagyu Beef Filet with mushroom sauce. Here while the meat was done to perfection, the sauce was a bit of a let down maybe it was more about my taste and the fact that I didn't enjoy it as much. Finally for dessert I tried something that was like a creme brûlée but wasn't and since I'm a big creme brûlée fan I wasn't too sure about. So as I said at the beginning came out here with a mixed bag of feelings about the experience.
I had dinner there tonight for the first time, we were warmly welcomed into a very prestigous environment and very friendly atmosphere. The price was very reasonable for the mouth-watering and delicious food that we were served.
Classic Italian restaurant with wonderful view and venue, had the Burrata and the meat rigatoni which was amazing. The vanilla meringue is a must have.
I absolutely love everything about this restaurant from the décor, to the staff, to the food. It is all about the food here, every morsel, every bite is delicious. You almost feel a part of the Italian family with the great staff. Bravo!
Went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were placed outside in a very nice table.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing, very light and well cooked, the Italian food experience was very much lived not like the other joints.
Highly recommended. Price range around 700 for 2 ppl (1 starter, 2main dishes and one dessert)
Nice outdoor seating in the Yas Island with great food.
We tried only the pizza which was mixed pepperoni and vegeterian one.
And had some drinks which were great too
It was a magical evening as we were transported in time to a yacht off the coast of Italy. Each dish tasted wonderful starting with the lovely bruschetta down to the mouthwatering lamb. Just remember their portions are generous, you basically add the truffle (mushroom) risotto and pasta onto your plate from a larger portion deep dish placed in front of you. The atmosphere all in all was wonderful, especially the fact that the waiters are all Italian and are dressed up in a 1930s style suit just made the evening seem like a classic movie scene. They were helpful and explain the dishes to you if you like and even change it for you if you didn't like it.

Cipriani is a stylish and elegant restaurant with décor that has been specifically selected to create the finest Italian dining experience, accompanies by exquisite views of the azure Yas Marina and a terrace that overlooks the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit. It is located at Yas Island nearby Yas Marina Circuit. Last month, I am happy to be visit this simple Italian restaurant done to perfection. It is the main concept of the food at Cipriani.While waiting for our food, we are given an aperitif: a drink that is typically alcoholic, that are normally served before or after a meal.The weather is perfect during this month in United Arab Emirates so we opt to dine over the terrace that is overlooking Yas Marina. Who wouldn't fell in love in that kind of view? Yayyyy! Our food is served fast by an Italian server.Here's our orders:
"Carpaccio ala Cipriani"It's a typical italian dish made with raw meat.What i love about it is that the meat taste good even it is served raw.It is very soft and easy to chew.This is a beef meat, so if your a meat lover you will definitely love this.
"Italian Mozzarella with Salad"So creamy and tasty that leaves me wanting more.All i can say is that it is an Italian cheese perfection!
Afterwards, our main course arrived just in time :)
"Black Angus Beef Filet with Truffle"This is one of the best food that is served to us.I prefer to cook it well done and it taste good.It easy to chew and the truffle on top of it which means different kinds of mushrooms are amazing!
"Baked White Tagliolini with Smoked Turkey"I'm a fan of white sauce pasta so I try this one and it's amazing!I love this creamy tagliolini, it's the dish that's been eaten so fast because why not?It's delicious!
I wouldn't miss a chance to try their gelato ice cream so I ordered one.It is so creamy and not so sweet so it's a perfect dessert for me.
All I can say that in scale of 1-5, I would rate it 5.0 as per my experience.It is one of the best Italian Restaurant I've tried so far.So If your looking for an Italian food, a great view, nice food and ambiance: Cipriani is the answer to all your cravings!
It is situated along Yas Marina Yas Island Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

I love Ciprianis, great italian food, wonderful selection of wines, I recently went to the Truffle inspired dinning experience a few days ago and got to know more about truffles! the pasta is fresh, the eggplant Parmigiana is delicious and one of my favorite items on the menu, the Sea bass and the Angus steak is a must, and the Burrata melts in your mouth, it's so rich and creamy perfect for sharing as its a large portion! Cipriani home made Gnochi is one of both mine and my husbands first choice when it comes to ordering a pasta dish its not for the light hearted! very creamy and full of flavor. The two desserts I love at Cipriani are the Lemon Tart and the Tiramisu. Perfect ending to a fab meal. The Service is immaculate and the staff are very friendly. Very romantic dining experience with views of Yas viceroy hotel. If you love Italian food and you are in the city then its worth booking dinner at Cipriani.

For fine-dining Italian food and drinks in Abu Dhabi, Cipriani should be your first choice. Featuring both sophisticated yet comfortable seating and a delightful outdoor dining area with astounding views of the Yas Hotel & Marina, Cipriani is a classy restro-lounge, enjoyable any time of the year.
Writing this review approximately 8 months since I first visited, brings back some pleasant memories. Can’t really remember the last restaurant I have looked forward returning to so so much.

Had an amazing dinner at Cipriani. It's been on my bucket list for a while so was excited to finally enjoy it.
I was surprised by how large and open and well lit the restaurant was, with plenty of staff in crisp white jackets and everything resembling a fine dining restaurant on a luxury cruise ship.
It was the day before Eid, so it was a dry night therefore the restaurant was quieter than normal I'm sure. However they seated everyone on top of each other on one side of the restaurant. This was so everyone could see the gorgeous view of the Viceroy & Marina, but it did feel a bit cramped when we had to listen to the loud dinner conversation of the couple sitting behind us. If they had offered a choice of tables I would not have sat there.
The menu is split between Japanese and Italian. Both looking excellent we decided to stay traditional and do the Italian. Our waiter was Italian and was able to give detailed explanation of the dishes with genuine authenticity which is often lacking in the UAE. The food was delightful, served quickly and with a bit of pomp that you would expect from high class restaurants. I can highly recommend the sea bream and the spaghetti with seafood, both being incredibly tasty and wholesome.
The skill of our waiter was demonstrated throughout the meal, and when it came to serving us our team at the end of the meal we asked where he had learnt such fine tea pouring details. He proudly announced that he started as a runner at The Savoy in London years ago, and making tea was one of the finer arts they taught him. I wish this kind of dedicated professional to the service industry were still found in all 5 star restaurants, but sadly they are slowly disappearing from the industry.
Lovely service, lovely food, lovely ambience topped off with lovely company.... The only reason they didn't get 5/5 was for the close seating arrangements that lacked privacy.
Cipriani, the Italian fine dining restaurant at Yas Marina recently hosted "Film Nights" ... where diners could watch an Italian themed film accompanied by a four course dinner based on the film's food. This movie & dinner night had been taking place every Saturday since August 8th for four consecutive weeks. I was lucky to be invited to the grand finale of "Film Nights" which took place last Saturday. The film being played that night was "Good Fellas" - a crime & drama based Hollywood classical blockbuster.
Its one of the best restaurants in Abu Dhabi for a romantic quite dinner.. the food is so good and the desserts are mouth watering.. the prices are expensive almost 700 AED for 2 persons but worth it .. the view on Yas Marina is so nice as well #ZomatoSummer
Excellent decor and friendly service, after all it's Cipriani. Go for the Nochi, baked tagliatelle, corn and French Bean Salad, avocado and artichoke salad. Finally the chocolate cake. Also good wine selection and a cigar room.
High service, well trained staff. Good food and nice atmosphere. And this jazz music ?...... Amazing place!
I love Italian food and finally I found great Italian restaurant?
This is one of my personal favourites in Abu Dhabi.
The food, ambiance and service is impeccable.
If you love steak tartare like I do, then you've come to the right place! I've tried many restaurants in the UAE, but no one can beat their steak tartare.
And don't get me started on truffle season, the truffles they bring from Alba are divine!
Finally, a dinner at Cipriani isn't complete without the tiramisu and vanilla meringue.
Loved the view of yas hotel and Yas marina yacht club. taste of food was delisouse .service was perfect, and the servant were friendly and helpful. I liked the atmosphere. Very romantic and classy!
Very delicious food. Amazing and stunning view for Yas Marina. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely go back there again & again
I love this place and this was the third time I've been here. Last visit was the day after the F1 Grand Prix. Aside from a couple of f1 drivers having a private dinner - no we didn't bother them - the food was excellent as usual. What was a lot poorer was the service. One waiter was doing a very accurate impression of Manueline from Fawlty Towers (bbc) the rest of the staff were clearly star struck and felt we didn't matter pushing through us in their haste. We spoke with the manager and appraised him if our concerns. This was a big night for us and one we always look forward to. I'm sure it will be better next time and at least the waiters won't be boasting of 5000 covers over the weekend. I will given them another chance though. Steaks are always good and the ice cream is fantastic.
Great food
Great location
Great staff
Overpriced
Small portions
Their crab salad was a shock, very poor portion but amazing taste. I would give it 4.5 because of the location, the professionalism of the staff and the food taste

Firstly, let me just state that I would go to Cipriani any day of the week. However my most memorable experience was during the formula one event in Abu Dhabi ( November). The hippest restaurant of that season is Cipriani. FYI Reservations should be done months ahead. We were fortunate enough to book a table for dinner on November 2nd,2013.
Reaching the restaurant during this great event was a hassle since you park your car outside the entrance gate of the Yas Yacht Club that had heavy security. You are then transported by a bus or car to the location. All of the logistics were tolerable when we reached Cipriani. The place was buzzing and happening. It was visible that people were enjoying their food and the atmosphere!
Our taste buds went on a journey of their own from starter to dessert. For our appetizer, we had the cucumber salad with sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and avocado as well as the burrata in foglia and the egg plant alla parmigiana. For our main, we had the black cod and the grilled sea bass. The cherry on the top was their famed dessert: vanilla meringue.
The only down side was the slow service though the Italian waiters eased the situation with their jokes and smiles.
