A great new Italian restaurant. Perfect ambiance, a well balanced menu selection, fun and yummy mocktails and the lasagna a the best in Dubai - highly recommended
Gia is a great place to be , perfect location, attentive and great service and excellent food. The perfect combination for a restaurant..
The interior of the place is amazing. The service is superb, and the food is exemplary! Will definitely come here again with my family. :)
Stunning interiors, great food, great views.
I'd suggest the Tagliata di Wagyu, Polpette ai Sugo and the Ossobuco. They have an amazing mocktail called Il Fumo - the presentation is incredible!
Great restaurant in Dubai Mall, deserve a visit!
Food was great and Ms. Sonita is extremely helpful and nice. Our dinning was even better thanks to her💕
Loved the food ambience. Our server, Mr.Anthony did a good job in giving suggestions. He was extremely patient. The food was good too.
Absolutely brilliant ambience and delicious italian food! I looooved the Gnocchi and the Buratta was so fresh and lovely!
I wheely wheely think you should try this cheesy rigatoni cacio e pepe prepared in a giant wheel of Parmigiano cheese 🍝🧀
@gia.dubai is located in Dubai mall, with seating available on the terrace overlooking the fountains⛲️ and Burj Khalifa ✨ I particularly enjoyed the Tortellini di Pollo! 🇮🇹 15% off total bill with HSBC entertainer
We went to Gia twice during our stay in Dubai. The food was incredible and so well prepared. Both times we times we visited we given complimentary bread with a lovely olive oil and balsamic Vinegar dip. The service was extremely good and the waiter Ashok were so attentive. In fact, it was the best service we’d experienced during our whole stay. Overall the value for the money was good and I enjoy it. Will definitely come again before we leave Dubai.
Perfect restaurant to go and Pubudu perfect person to service
Very nice food, service and view. Enjoyed their pasta dishes quite a few times here. Would def recommend.
Saffron risotto was soooooooo good. The lasagna too! I thought I didn't like truffle but it was great. With the crispy edge and everything (:
The one downside is the outdoor area overlooking the fountain, it can get pretty loud and annoying but that's just a personal thing.
Herbert and Ashok were most attentive and make the visit very special. Food and drink were exceptional
Herbert was really nice friendly and welcoming, salamat po !
I am regular coastomer and I am always impresseed by The quilty of food and service / and the positive and smily faces of them serving the yummy food /Albert is one of the best server he jokes and makes my children my self laugh ! Keep the great work Albert and the rest /best regards
The food tastes so good; we had steak, risotto, pasta and truffled lasagne. The waiters are helpful and friendly. The only negative thing is the smell in the outdoor area.
Excellent service by (pubudu)

"Had an amazing experience in Gia and enjoyed our dinner with the beautiful fountain view. Thanks to Anthony for taking care of us and the recommendations. "
One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. The pizza was amazing, along with the pasta. Shout out to our server Anthony who was really helpful with what to choose and describing the dishes in detail. We will definitely be coming back.
An awesome night to remember. From the ambiance to the welcoming staff and mouthwatering food. Special appreciation to Anthony who made our experience at GIA exceptional. Definitely coming back!
You want to have the best of homemade Italian pasta, search no more. GIA Dubai Mall has the best fresh homemade pasta. Thanks alot to Anthony for the special service and recommendation. Must try!!
We really enjoyed our dinner at GIA Dubai Mall. Our server Anthony took really great care of us and recommended a special chamomile ice tea with a smoke effect. It was AMAZING. Definitely coming back
Beautiful elegant restaurant, friendly service and delicious food
“Dining with a view” can be the apt caption! The view is just mesmerizing.. you get to see the fountain show whilst you sit back and just enjoy your food..
Staff is very friendly, they did give us the right recommendations and helped us make the right choice! Very kind enough to consider our certainties about food.
When it came to food.. I would not rate out of out because i personally feel there are a lot better Italian restaurants around here but on a scale of 5, it was worth 3.5 to 5! Also quantity is quite less for the price we pay!
Overall, not all that disappointed.. worth giving it a try once!
Nice view and good food. Amit was very nice.
Their Brusiate Ala Trapanese is a must try!
The food was amazing and our waiter Amit was very polite and friendly. Their bread is freshly baked and delicious. Would definitely recommend GIA to everyone!
Food and ambiance is amazing. Amit out waiter is very friendly and cheerful.
Amit was a brilliant server, very knowledgeable and made our dinner an experience. We had a great time
Thank you Ashok (Specs) :) for looking after our table. To be honest, we didn't expect much from this restaurant and came across it via Zomato gold.
I must say this has been one of the best services I've recieved in a long time. Ashok was so passionate about his job and gave own personal recommendations on food and the mocktails! Now they were also a delight!!!
Food was well presented and all the right balanced flavours.
Must try the meatball pasta, Burratta and ricotta cannoli dessert!!!
Highly recommended to go and will definitely return soon :)
we were served by Amit, who has been friendly and helpful. Good experience.
Amazing foood and great service by Rohit ! Try the white pasta and dessert it’s divine

Must haves: BEVRAGE: la Vita e Bella,PASTA: Rigatoni Cacio E pepe, DESSERT: Profiteroles di Toscana.
The quality of the dishes matches the ones I had in Rome and Florence.
The Rigatoni made live in front of you in a parmesan barrel is DEVINE!!! it's the best I had in Dubai so far!
That beautiful looking drink that was soooo refreshing and made with exquisite fine taste.
The pizza was excellent and made with rich ingredients.
I wasn't big on the pasta stuffed with chicken pure' on a red sauce dish
and the meat balls were very good too.
Amit who served us as on top of his game. very informative and helpful.
My only critique to the management is that the ambiance should match the authenticity of the food. music... decor.. both are not inline with the Italian flavours the customer is experiencing.
Amit was a great help and his suggestions was amazing. Will be back often
It’s the best pasta I have ever eat..Really delusion...Ashok recommend Busaita alla Trapanese and penne al ragu it was awesome would definitely come back again love the resturant.
The staff was so polite and friendly specially Herbert and Clara.
It was a very pleasant experience. The tenderloin stake was delicious and the camomile ice tea was tasty. Best of all was Mr. Herbert who took very good care of us.
The place GIA has some extremely good food and an unique Experience and has a really good view of the Dubai fountain from the restaurant staff is well-behaved and extremely polite should admire there courtesy and the food was great but quantity is less.
Had a business lunch at Gia and was glad we chose this place. The food was really delicious and served on time. The manager is very welcoming and friendly, noticed that some of the waiters need more training. Still highly recommended
Amazing authentic italian food - best I’ve had in dubai, the ingredients are imported from italy directly - staff is very friendly- amazing view of the fountains
We had a very fabulous time food was amazing and the team was very helpful and their manage I believe clara we should specifically thank you for your recommendation and help
We will definitely recommended to our friends
Keep it up
Food was very delicious, amazing service, liked the place and will visit it again
Food is amazing and the ingredients very fresh. We love the friendly staff, nice environment and super tasty food. Just the portions could be bit bigger.
The service was very good “ Mr. Ashok “, I like the food but I would be satisfied if it has more salt and flavor. Everything was nice and I’m happy with it .
The service is very good , Mr. Ashok was describing the food in very nice way that encourages the customer to try.. but the soup and the pasta needed more salt and flavor
Alla was great, if only Truffle Martini drink dessert were available
I am a regular here. Whatever dish I had, GIA never disappointed me so far. I came today purposely for their special Black Cod menu for EID Holiday, ordered Saffron Arancini w/ Black Cod, the tastes was as good as it looked. And the mushroom soup was also nice, wish I had a bigger stomach for the main course. The staff here is always friendly and performs professionally. Thanks to Mr Ashok for his service tonight.
Excellent food and service from the Italian manager and Pubudu. The drink La Vita Bella was very original and creative. I highly enjoyed my experience in this restaurant.
Food quality was excellent. This is truly a hidden gem here in the dubai mall.
not only was the food is good but the service was awesome. Pubudu welcomed us into the restaurant & provided one of the best services every given to us in a restaurant. He recommended things that we loved & enjoyed very much & we truly appreciate that.
would definitely come back again!
The service was very fast! we were served by Pubudu. He immediately made us feel at home. Will definitely come back again very soon!
Best beef shank ever eaten,6 out of 5, delicious and was well cooked and serving by mr.Herbert was remarkable.
I would not say best ever Steak, but butter seasoning made it different from other restaurants. I shall give it 4.2 out of 5.
Drink La Vita e Bella was good but was not enough for 2 person as was told.
I have been here two times and this my third visit to GIA. Every damn time they amaze me with their service and smiles, not to mention the tremendously delicious food. In my opinion they have brought italian food to another level.
Pubudu he was an excellent staff and their pink pasta with chicken is very delicious also their drink was so tastyy.......💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Very delicious food and Pubudu who serve our table is very friendly for sure i will come again ......................................................
Menu was explained with a lot of passion by Ashok.
Real authentic fine dinning italian food
Great service
Thanks to Carla (GM) for the great welcome!
We will come back soon
We had a great time in the restaurant and the food was delicious. We ordered calamari, pizza. Burrata, and wagyu steak.Thanks Pubudu for serving us.
Great ambience, beautifully decorated restaurant. Food never fails to disappoint, freshest ingredients used and was value for money too. Amit, our waiter was very attentive to our needs.
Good food and drinks... Nice location overlooking the fountain. Good ambiance as well..Thanks for the great service Herbert .👍 We will come back more often...All worth it .
Thank you Amit for the professional service , great atmosphere, excellent food, highly recommended, thank you all 👍👍 wishing you all the best and we will definitely back again inshallah
Hidden Gem of a restaurant in Dubai Mall extension, near the Dior outlet. Was meeting a friend for lunch and chanced upon this restaurant with good Zomato reviews and hence decided to give it a try. What a find! Awesome food, delicious drink and to die for desserts.
We were recommended the La Vita E’bella, a sharing drink made of elderflower extract, was a bit on the sweeter side but adding some water to it made it just perfect to my liking. For the mains we ordered Busiate Alla Trapanese, a splendid hand twisted seafood pasta and Branzino All’Amalfitana, a sea bass fillet. Even though we were stuffed we decided to give the mouth watering deserts a try. We choose Tiramisu which was great but was totally overshadowed by the Frutti Rossi Yogurt Gelato which was so delightful that we forgot about the Tiramisu.
Ambiance wise also a nice and cozy place and they have a terrace too overlooking the fountains which would make be a great hit during cooler months.
We’re definitely coming back!
Had a great birthday dinner with my family. Ordered the salmon and the pastas were great. Amit was a great host and super accommodating - thank you!
Came here for a lovely dinner with a view ! Was assisted my Amit who was the perfect waiter :) can’t wait to come back here ! we had the pasta and a pizza and the bread to start with was really nice as well ❤️ the drinks are fantastic to try! Overall great experience
Our first visit to Gia was very nice. We had a nice welcome and our server Amit was very caring and attentive. Good service and nice food. Will be back!
Beautifully presented and delicious food in calm and casual-chic setting.
The complimentary bread is fresh and very tasty. The service is perfect. But it is the food that really steals the show (which is obviously good news).
We ordered:
❤️ salmon with sea urchin risotto, which was just perfect. The portion was of good size and every single bite had so much taste
❤️ Chicken cutlet with truffle sauce: portion was big and had a lot of taste as well. The presentation could be improved but in terms of taste it was very good.
We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Visited this Italian restaurant for first time. It's in new Fashion Avenue of Dubai Mall. Very nice ambience. Have outdoor seating with view of Dubai Fountains. Ordered Cappuccino, Espresso and desserts .
The presentation was awesome and the food was amazing in taste.
Ordered Cannoli di ricotta & Profiteroles Nutella Niccole.
The best Cannoli had in Dubai 👍
Definitely will visit again
We have been here since it opened last year and last week, we booked lunch here as we knew that our guests would enjoy it. As expected, our guests were impressed with everything (food, ambience, Clara the manager). The taste has been consistent, if not better, since. The fritto misto is our must order for every visit. The burrata is delicious. The pizzas are tasty too. We tried some pastas as well which are nice however the portions could be a bit bigger. We also tried the wagyu and it was excellent. Finished off with some dessert which were wiped clean off the plates. All in all, extremely delighted that this place is delicious and consistent. Thank you Herbert for being so attentive, and Clara for taking good care of us.

I really enjoyed my lunch there and I would go back again to try other dishes.
The size of the pizza was perfect and the crust was so fluffy. However, the ratio of the burrata to the tomato sauce wasn’t right. There was way too much burrata that it sadly took over the entire flavour. The chicken ragu was nice but I wish there was more sauce. The melanzane was really well done
Food is yum and the hospitality is great. Nice view to the dubai fountain as well.
The manager was very sweet and the waiter helped selecting the best dish. Overall experience was great.
We had burrata and melenzane to start, both were amazing. Then we had pasta and pizza for mains (see photos). Everything was delicious even the bread at the start. Great service and we got a 15% discount with ENBD.

The food is soo good, atmosphere soo relaxing and the stuff is so friendly and polite...Pubudu Thankyou soo much for the best drink you recommended me to try, and thank you for taking the best care of us..
The food is so great that we came here for the second time in a week. All the dishes we tried were amazing. Herbert our host was amazing, his recommendations were fabulous, very courteous and friendly. Add the views of the fountain, it truly is a recommended experience.
Service was really good by Ms. Sunita, she made our experience so easy with her recommended food that she gave as a good advice and she is so kind and the food was amazing
Authentic Italian restaurant in the new Dubai Mall fashion extension. Excellent dishes all around from the salads to the desserts. Some of my favorite dishes include the arugula and pear salad and the eggplant parmigiana for starters, linguine alla bottarga (without the mullet roe) and the tagliata di manzo for the mains. For dessert, their Nutella profiteroles are a must. Hands down, GIA is my favorite Italian restaurant in the UAE.

Not sure what to expect when we decided to try GIA but boy did they NOT disappoint. Great experience! Loved the minimalistic but elegant decor. However, servers were polite but not friendly.
What we ordered:
1 Fritto Misto di Mare (9/10) - light batter, not greasy, fresh succulent seafood, amazing and super flavourful dip.
2 Polpette al Sugo (9/10) - wagyu beef meatballs slow cooked in tomato sauce, served with the crunchiest butteriest bread ever. So so so good! We enjoyed the meatballs very much so. Moist, juicy texture - not dry in the least.
3 Ossobuco e Risotto alla Milanese (8.5/10) - saffron risotto was so flavourful we licked the plate! The slow cooked veal shank was succulent and tender. My husband really enjoyed this dish!
4 Rigatoni Cacio e Pepe (7.5/10) - very cheesy, they prepare the sauce table side so it’s a fun dish to order, quality of the parmesan is very good and so nutty! Pasta was cooked al dente.
Their focaccia was soft and fluffy, but the best we’ve ever tried is still from Social by Heinzback.
Overall, LOVED GIA! Will visit again and again to try other dishes. Bravo!
Happy eating 🌷

Gia has been exactly what I’ve been looking for... Quality ingredients. Great ambiance. Uncomplicated Italian cookingThe Cacio E Pepe was amazing!!
Had our anniversary date night at Gia last month. Everything was excellent and I’ll tell you why.
Started off with my favorite drink here, “la vita e’bella” super refreshing drink with exotic flowers on ice cubes. When you order this special drink, they will bring out their polaroid and take your picture. It is extra personal touch and I adore it 😍
Then our wagyu steak came, cooked to perfection. Just imagining it again makes me drool 🤤 it comes with arugula salad. Perfect combination 👌
Also ordered the lobster pasta with burrata. This one is also a winner. Tasty and truly delicious! 🦞
Service is excellent! Manager Clara came to visit and ensured we are having a great time. Love the hospitality of the whole team. 💕
This is not my first time here and would definitely be back again for more special celebrations as Gia would really make your stay extra special 🥰
This is by far the best Italian restaurant we had in Dubai! Anthony served us with excellent services! Restaurant atmosphere is perfect! Will definitely come back to try other food.
My first visit was pretty much dissapointing actually. Later on I was invited by the restaurant to enhance the experience. In my second visit, service was excellent, food was okay.
A restaurant we found by chance while waiting at The Dubai mall and what a beautiful find it was...
Absolutely gorgeous outdoor views, facing the fountain alongwith excellent service and delicious food makes for a perfect evening!
We tried their ravioli ricotta and the casarecce al norma...both the dishes were fantastic...the ravioli specially one of the best i have had...definitely will be visiting them soon again!!!
This place was on my wish list for a very long time. Being a student in a budget. Really saved up to go and try one very insta friendly dish here Salmone Al Pepe Rosa. Norwegian salmon sitting on a bed of squid ink risotto. It was lovely. The staff were super caring and courteous.
La Vita E’Bella, I’d go back to Gia for this!
On a Thursday night, my husband and I sat by the window and enjoy our seafood spaghetti along with their creamy burrata.
Love them!
Highly recommended, definitely visiting again.
The staff are extremely polite and helpful especially sunita
The ambience is great and they have a nice view on the fountain
Food to try:
1. Burrata salad
2. Fried calamari
3. Penne e funghi
4. Ravioli do recotta

Amazing food! Try the seafood soup. It is awesome. The tenderloin was so soft and tasty. And the sea bass was cooked to perfection. Our server Pubudu was very charming and professional. Would I come back? For sure 😀!
