The food was quite ordinary and had very small portions at an inflated price. definitely not value for money.

Alici is always busy and deservedly so... The service is hectic, but generally attentive, without being over bearing. The food, in my view, is amongst the most authentically Italian in Dubai and Alici has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant. On the basis of: quality; location; service; and, food, Alici is good value. They also have an excellent wine list and knowledgeable sommelier. Can’t wait to dine outside in the winter, overlooking the water...

My husband made a booking here for our anniversary and I was so pleasantly surprised. <br/>It took us a few minutes to find the place . <br/>The starters were yum. We are the truffle pizza, and a tomato salad. You get a complimentary bread basket to. <br/>The lobster linguini was fab and my husband eats chicken so opted for that which he enjoyed. We got a beautifully done complimentary dessert at the end too .

Unlike in most Dubai fine dining restaurants there are hidden charges which are not included in the advertised price for the brunch and the food is just average. So you end up paying more than in the best Dubai restaurants for food that is only mediocre. Not a good experience and we would recommend to avoid this place.

Decided to just hop into the place while exploring the Bluewaters Island and I’m so glad that we did! Their new modern white and blue interior is so aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, with an amazing view of the waters. Staff was extremely courteous, also helped us pick just the right dishes! <br/>Their Salmone grigliato and black truffle pasta are an absolute delight. <br/>Can’t wait to visit again!

We loved everything from our dinner at Alici. Staff was lovely and good advise about menu choice. <br/>I prefer the atmosphere of this place rather than il burro where staff bit overshowing in both attention and skin for the ladies. <br/>Food was yummy. Everything was perfect.<br/>Only regret our cocktails arrived after the first dish was served.<br/>We shared truffle pasta, they had the kind gesture to spontaneously divide and serve them in 2 plates. <br/>Main was seabass in salt crust. That was nice. Simple nothing fancy about it. The product for the product.<br/>While leaving the place manager could have been bit more attentive specially when you spend a good bill but that's alright most important was the kindness of the staff through the evening<br/>I recommend

It’s a very very pretty restaurant with a beautiful location. The pizza was extremely juicy, the risotto was fair I found the truffle tagliatelle ( one of my favorite all time dishes) to be disappointing. <br/><br/>They served us these little desserts after our meal, the chocolate flavored one was definitely one of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever tasted ( It’s worth going back just for those) lovely service too!

One of the best places in the city! <br/>Great food, unforgettable customer experience! <br/>

Everything about Alici was perfect, from the raw selection, to the desserts. Everything = perfect. The quality is astonishing. The decor is lovely, loved the attention to detail. The ambience is lovely.

Tried this restaurant few days back and i loved it. The ambience is perfect for a relaxed eveninh and the food is good. Especially the dessert. Cost effective and friendly staff. A must visit for italian cuisine.

The food is not worth what you’re paying for but the view and service are great. I would go for drinks rather than lunch. The seafood mixed grill was tasteless as was the sautéed spinach.

We went to Alici to celebrate my parents’ wedding anniversary. The place offers great food, even better views and an excellent service. We will definitely be back.

This restaurant has NOTHING new to offer. Management is horrible, the service is <br/>no comment, the food is tragic, and location is bad. I’m a fancy restaurant lover, your restaurant is unfortunately out of my list of recommendation. No hate, just being objective. Step up your game: There are 100 other better restaurants competing with you. <br/>PS: you know what type of ‘fancy’ restaurant this is when your TRUFFLE risotto is 95% Mushrooms. Have a good night.

Very dissatisfied with the restaurant in terms of the service and the food that was not delicious at all. The food wasn’t even cooked well, let alone they’re very over priced. As for the service, I ordered the food at 10:00 pm and it arrived at 11:00 pm. No reason was given for the delay except that they mentioned some dishes need time. Other than that, the rest of the dishes were not served on time for no reason at all. I can honestly say it is one of the worst experiences that I’ve had here in Dubai.

It was lunch time at 1 pm during the week days so the place was not busy. The service was excelent. The food was delicious as well as the sweets. Both the Lobsters and tge spaghetti alici e mollica were perfectly prepared. I will surely visit this place again to try the other dishes. They serve alcohol here.

Great view can be enjoyed here especially from the 1st floor. Or only that, and of course Italian dishes here are exquisite. Ordered beef tartar and scallops and both tasted just terrific! Perfect place to enjoy the night view of JBR and skyscrapers in winter time!

Ordered the following: (starters) stuffed squid, grilled octopus (mains) seafood carbonara, spaghetti with sea urchin and amberjack (dessert) lemon cheesecake, cannolis. Starters were not so hot when they arrived. We told them just to give feedback after enjoying most of it but they decided to serve us newly cooked starters anyway. All the food were delicious but the standout ones for us were the cannolis (made fresh and as good as having them in Italy) and the stuffed squid. Service was great and will definitely come back. Il Borro told us that Alici is their sister restaurant that’s why we went there and we weren’t disappointed. We went on a Thursday night and it the place was busy. Tip: book a table on the outdoor terrace on the second floor.

Came here for lunch and boy did it meet all expectation. The interior was amazing, looked very authentic and had a Mediterranean feel to it plus a gorgeous view of the sea from all angles. Food wise ordered the arancini and beetroot salad. Main course mixed grill (swordfish tuna lobster and squid) it was delicious. And ofcourse I had to try their truffle pizza as I do in any italian restaurant. It definitely did not disappoint. The dough wasnt too heavy and thick just the way I like. To top it all I tried their tiramisu and flourless chocolate cake. The tiramisu was succulent creamy and moist sponge, although if you dont like the taste of coffee too much this one had a strong coffee flavour. The flourless cake was great it's a must try! Cant forget the outstanding service of the team at alici. Very attentive and you can tell they like what they do unlike some other restaurants where you feel the staffs are forcing it :/

Siddhesh is so accommodating

Good service; food was average; portion was fine. Especially the risotto could have been A LOT better. Food was overpriced, paid a bill of 2,500 AED for 4 people. Not the best value for money, wouldn’t consider this place as fine dining. Sorry, not coming back.

We visited Alici for lunch as a large group in May. We were out with a friend who was about to have a baby and even though the place was nearly empty they didn’t allow one of our group to bring a small balloon that said “congratulations” to the table and they kept it in the back. We went to our table upstairs and the temperature inside with AC was 30 degrees so we were sweating and even though we complained several times it seems as a new place they weren’t prepared for Dubai summer because they were “fixing it” the whole time we were there and the thermostat didn’t change.<br/>I wish I remembered the food and could give readers a detailed review since we ordered at least 10 dishes but nothing was particularly memorable. I had the ice cream for dessert which had a scoop of cheese flavor which was very tasty so that’s the one thing I would recommend.<br/>It’s a shame they treated us so poorly as I thought this place had good potential.

Alici is situated in Bluewaters Dubai. At the time of this review Bluewaters can firmly be described as ‘working to enhance your experience’. Most units remain shuttered and the Wheel remains under construction for Expo 2020. <br/><br/>This means Alici is one of the few (good) restaurants open with an enviously places view overlooking the sandy Dubai Marina skyline and teal waters of the Arabian Sea alive with jet skis and yachts. <br/><br/>The outside terrace is replete with trees and cobalt pots making for excellent al fresco dining in the more forgiving winter months. There is very generous seating space inside but you want a seat upstairs. The floor to ceiling windows allow sunshine to flood into the dining room with uninterrupted views of the skyline. At lunch you’ll have a bright beautiful view and at sunset you can watch Dubai Marina transform from sand to pink to fiery sunset. <br/><br/>The spacious floor is enhanced by the neutral colour scheme of white with hints of cobalt, earth tones and smart grey blue and white stripped chairs. Olive trees and framed pictures of water colours and sketches make Alici feel more homely. The good sized bar is adjacent to the open plan kitchen with a direct view of the chefs hard at work. Old Italian music gently piped through the restaurant. <br/><br/>It would take an individual incapable of love to not be effortlessly charmed and soothed by the dining room. You must get a seat upstairs in front of the windows or in the more private seating area on the left in its own room. <br/><br/>Let’s talk menu shall we?<br/><br/>The menu is primarily seafood (the clue was in the name) but there are a number of options available in case someone doesn’t want that (query why you are here). <br/><br/>A raw, oyster and caviar selection kick off the menu followed by starters, followed by antipasti starters, soups, pizza, pasta, mains and side courses. <br/><br/>I order the grilled octopus with beluga lentils with a saffron red pepper romanesco sauce (85 dhs) followed by the oven baked Atlantic halibut with clams, razor clams, mussels and a seafood broth (135 dhs). <br/><br/>“it looks like a scene where the octopus violently crashed upon a pebbled beach but decided to style it out”<br/><br/>The octopus arrives striking like a latticed weave of meaty, pale amethyst tentacles collapsed on a rubble of moss-coloured lentils; it looks like a scene where this violently octopus crashed upon a pebbled beach but decided to style it out. <br/><br/>The comparison don’t end there. The octopus is perfectly cooked: firm but yielding with a soft sweet and yet slightly charred flavour of which the latter is boosted by the inherently earthy lentils. It’s a modern surf and turf interpretation. This is a very large starter and frankly both in portion size and price could easily be a main course. It demands a white wine bursting with gooseberries or a young, fruity red - unusually, I am not drinking this lunch time. <br/><br/>The saffron red pepper romanesco is a beautiful apricot colour and brings a subtle fruitiness to temper these earthy lentils. I recommend the kitchen leans into the saffron or red pepper a little more as neither come through strongly. <br/><br/>Oven baked Atlantic halibut with clams, razor clams, mussels and a seafood broth<br/><br/>A steaky, thick wedge of halibut arrives in a rouge pool of its own sauce accompanied by candy-sweet tomatoes, black olives, razor clams, clams and mussels topped with thyme springs and basil. If you enjoy the traditional Sicilian fish stew of similar constituents then you’ll love this. <br/><br/>The fish is firm but yielding. Every ingredient is very well cooked and the in umido cooking gives a harmonious continuity throughout bringing the dish together. It’s a casually plated dish which is more complicated than it appears. I quickly regret scarfing the bread basket making a school boy error leaving no carb sponges behind to steep in this sauce. The black olives are divisive perhaps but work when pulled together with the rest of the dish. It works better than another place I reviewed previously attempting to make a dish similar in spirit. <br/><br/>And then there was dessert<br/><br/>Cannolis remind me of weekends in Venice weaving through its ages alleyways stumbling across small cake shops featuring hefty cannolis dipped in chocolate and jewelled in hazelnuts or pistachios. A handheld sugary energy bar on the go. <br/><br/>A trio of cannolis arrive: chocolate, orange and pistachio. They appear like long stuffed finger cuffs wrapped delicately around scented cream fillings. The crisp cannoli shatters when pried open like a clam. My favourite is the aromatic orange that leaves a soft clean citrus taste to cut through the darker chocolate and toasted nutty pistachio. <br/><br/>But wait, there is more <br/><br/>Petit fours arrive unexpectedly together with the double macchiato I ordered challenging even my resilient levels to greed. Naturally they are gobbled gratefully. <br/><br/>Would I return to Alici?<br/>Frankly I can’t stop talking about the place and neither can anyone else. My only mistake was to drive here making it impossible to traverse the seriously good looking and reasonably priced wine menu. A mistake I shall only make once. Wine started at 50 dhs by the glass and 230 dhs by the bottle. This pales in comparison to some lesser restaurants where bottles start around 700 dhs. <br/><br/>Let’s talk about price. It’s a fine dining menu and to that end you should come with expectations fully managed. However I found 400 dhs for this quality of cooking, ambience and service to be very competitive save that none of these dirhams included alcohol which would have been on top. Hmm...<br/><br/>Why should you come here?<br/>You are celebrating a special occasion, business lunch or gathering among friends who know and enjoy food, especially seafood. There are some options here exclusively for groups which look very good.

Excellent mixologist in the bar upstairs. Vegetarian friendly menu even though its a seafood speciality restaurant with Sicilian inspiration. Staff are very knowledgeable and courteous. A good place to hosts guests and family get together.

Tasty Italian restaurant, loved the place, the decor and the locations. the food is fresh and delicious, the waiters are very attention and friendly. highly recommended.

Alicia is a nice restaurant which had served a god range of sea food which is very amazing the food served here is very good lovely ambiance and sufficient space .do check it out.

Alici, the Italian seafood restaurant inspired by the Amalfi Coast could not be better suited to the rapidly-developing Bluewaters Island off the coast of JBR. The licensed restaurant comes to us from the team behind the successful Il Borro Tuscan Bistro and offers diners similar touchpoints – appealing interiors, strong service and simple Italian fare focusing on quality ingredients.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing ambience and service is fantastic too. Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. If I have to be completely Honest about the food, my review is based on comparison with other high end Italian restaurants including its sister restaurant, Ill borro. Majority of dishes required salt, artichoke salad was Underwhelming mainly as it required seasoning. Caviar Pasta tasted delicious but was very sticky, perhaps it was meant to be this way? Octopus was delicious! Risotto, compared to others, was very average. Would I return, yes mainly due to staff, view and ambience. Great selection of beverages too. Was so looking forward to a smooth, creamy gelato which sadly let me down...

The location/interior of the restaurant is beautiful. Amazing view of the marina skyline. However, the food was disappointing. We had the burrata and the truffle beef tartar. Both dishes tasted rather bland. As a main, we had the truffle pizza. This was very tasteless. All in all, all the dishes looked much better than they were. Wouldn’t necessary come back here.

Maybe one of the best scallops I have ever had.<br/><br/>This restaurant is authentic Italian. The location, food & staff were just wow.<br/><br/>Don’t miss this place when you are next in Dubai.<br/><br/>A special shout out to Michelangelo who looked after us the whole night.<br/>

Recently I had the pleasure to have a dinner in ALICI Restaurant located in BlueWater Island…<br/><br/>The location is absolutely stunning with a beautiful view on JBR side and the palm with The Atlantis on the back…The restaurant is divided in 2 areas…ground floor with the reception and an outside terrace and first floor with a bar and a open terrace as well…<br/><br/>We decided to reserved our table on the terrace upstairs…the weather were amazing…a gentle sea breeze was making as even more comfortable and happy…<br/><br/>The interior are stunning I can say…beautiful combination of colours…neutral white of course…light blue and beige the prevailing tint…wood for the floor…wicker for the chairs like in a beach house…simple but elegant table set up…with on the center a classic oil lamp…<br/><br/>The logo is predominant almost in everything but even that is very simple and nice…I really love that the cure for the details is very present in Alici in every single things…<br/><br/>Of course the food doesn’t disappoint…conversely we really like it… This is what we order:<br/><br/>Gambero Rosso : Red Mazara Prawn of course the best in the world… served with orange and radish<br/>Frisella di Alci<br/>Affumicato smoked tuna and sword fish ( my prefer…)<br/>Arancini al ragu’ di mare…arancino is a typical street from Sicily my region in Italy so I m pretty much picky with that but I can say that I like the seafood version…good job chef!<br/>Fritto di Alici<br/>Fritto misto…a selection of shrimps (super sweet and nice…) Alici…Calamari…zucchini and purple potato togheter with the fish…such a nice idea…!!!<br/>Patate Fritte<br/>Tiramisu’…just a bit dry in my opinion but beautiful presentation…<br/>Fondente al cioccolato….a dream of chocolate…gnummy<br/>We definitely love the food but I wanna come back to try the pasta and main course on the menu…and I already know that I will be a regular guest in Alici because I really love everything in this place… I dont wanna forget to mention that the service was amazing…The guys on the floor are really well trained plus the uniform are super cool and elegant…plus they smell good…ahahahah!!!!<br/><br/>Overall my experience was very good…Very good luck to all the Team of Alici for the best success in the future…

A great seafood restaurant, very pretty to begin with. It has your usual Italian fare, the seafood is fresh and the desserts are stunning. Do try the cannolis they are absolute perfection ❤️ and so is the Tiramisu!

The balcony patio is really nice during the winter months, more so during the day than evening.  We were there around 8:00pm on the weekend and the ambiance was lacking- there were only 2 other tables and a lot of staff members, so the staff were always around the table, which was slightly uncomfortable. They did have good service and all our pasta dishes were very good, as were the drinks.

I had a margherita , it was the best one that I have ever had , I really enjoyed it ,the ambience was quite nice and I would like to come back again.

New addition to the Bluewaters development. Great choice of the location overlooking JBR/Marina through floor to ceiling windows. Contemporary Italian / seafood restaurant with dishes for everyone. Recently opened I am sure things will only get better. <br/>Starters - Octopus with lentils 4 out of 5 (lentils were too al dente! <br/>Crab salad 3/5<br/>Mains - Pasta misto 3/5. Could have been more sauce and seafood on the plate. <br/>Seabass with artichokes ans purple potatoes 3/5. The Seabass was a little overcooked as well as potatoes. <br/>Overall - very nice, bright and chic venue.

I had been to alici with my wife, a beautiful place and a new restaurant with great menu.<br/><br/>I ordered<br/> Alici pizza <br/>spaghetti zucchini <br/>Lemon cheese cake<br/><br/>When breads were served I could feel the freshness in every bite. <br/>The zucchini pasta was very well cooked . Spaghetti was aldente, perfectly seasoned.<br/>Pizza was great too. Very well baked.. enough cheese and toppings, fresh dough very well presented. Loved it.<br/>The dessert lemon Cheese cake is Wow. With High quality ingredients.<br/><br/>Food was delivered on time.. smiling staffs great welcome by the hostess, and manager Danny. great service by Nanda and Ram. <br/>All in all it was the excellent experience at the alici. <br/>Thank you guys <br/>Hope to see u soon.<br/>

For reasons I’ll get into later in a later post, last week was a weird week.  There were highs and lows, and as my 38th year drew to a close, I decided to meet up with a friend for a long lunch on Thursday afternoon at Alici.  Having heard good things, I was cautiously optimistic.  While a bit difficult to find (seriously, Meeras, get your act together with the signage at Bluewaters), my patience paid off, and upon arrival, I found the location to be appropriately themed and decorated.  Much like similar restaurants serving this cuisine, there is a beachy chic vibe going which does well to match the food.  Should you be interested, there is a crudo bar downstairs, where you can literally see what will become your lunch or dinner.  I chose to sit upstairs, where the best views of the marina can be found.
