Huge thanks to Chef Fortunato and the amazing team of Cafe Italiano. Your food, service and professionalism was impeccable. Every dish that you prepared in my kitchen was beyond fab! Our guests were super impressed with all the food. It felt as if we were in Italy. To top off it all, the live tiramisu was just heavenly. Thank you for all your efforts and the yummylicious food. Truly Italian.

L'Italia nel Mondo,Grande.
A very cozy and comfortable lounge. We went there for their afternoon tea... it was a very cool experience, staff were very friendly and helpful, food was amazingly done and presented. Portions are small but very tasty. You will get a selection of savory and sweet bites along with tea. They had 2 tea options green and earl grey. The space is very welcoming for friends, families and work meeting.
Loved the ambience during lunch.....very vibrant. My daughter loved her pasta and the burger was done to perfection. I had avocado on toast.... it was good but not the best in Dubai. Bread was too small and not toasted so was a bit chewy. Service was excellent. Definitely going back for lunch to try other Italian delicacies that looked awesome and tasted great according to fellow diners.
Ambience: This Place has a great ambience, amazing interior, good vibes all around. Outdoor seating are available.
Service: The Service Was quick - the stuff is friendly as well.They know the menu really well.
Food: The food here is good. It is tasty and stand out. A good eat out spot. Their blueberry cheesecake is to die for.
Comments: it is a nice place to go to once in a while. I have visited a few times and don’t see a reason not to go again.

So this is our visit to @cafeitalianouae last Friday summed in a short video 🤩
Loved the ambience here, the cafe is quite spacious & interiors were beautifully done differently on every little space inside. They have a space with books so you can actually come relax and read a book with a coffee, the mums too coz they are kids friendly & have a play area and trust me the staffs are amazing and super kids friendly so you don’t really have to worry about your kids.
I have tried a number of kids friendly Friday brunch options in and around dubai, but the concept here was unique. You don’t really have to pay a fixed brunch price per person to come and enjoy leaving your kids here. You can come here for just a cup of coffee or breakfast or Lunch , it’s A la carte. Don’t have to worry if you are on diet, they have many healthy options 🎉 Mumpreneurs can specially make use of this space for business meetings over coffee while their kids can be at the Play Area. They have a special kids Menu which is priced comparatively low and trust me their food is amazing(Italian) Try their Pizzas, you will love it ❤️ Aidah was not ready to leave the place at all to be frank, you can watch all the fun she had in the video❤️❤️ Overall we loved being here and definitely coming back soon 😍
They will be hosting kids events every month and I will be sharing details about it soon ❤️ You can also host bday parties here, they have different plans based on your budget !!❤️ And do Dm me if you wanna know anything else about this place !!
Thank you @cafeitalianouae & @dalylovesdubai for having us over and hosting us so well❤️
Good pastas very tasty, flavourful and you’d taste the herbs and spices in it. Their pizzas are good as well. Specially that meaty ones loaded with cheese! Yum!
Go here every week for lunch during work. Food and service is excellent. Large portions and good quality. Complimentary fresh bread is baked on site. Sandwich options can be had with choice of side salads for a quick bite or main meals and pizza can be ordered. Not the cheapest lunch option but you get what you pay for.
Great place to grab a coffee or have some good Italian food. Tried their Caramel Milk Shake today, which was decent. But their wifi has some serious issues and gets disconnected every now and then.

One of the most enticing aspects of this place is the interiors. Its a beautiful place and the entire setting is appealing. Well, the food here is enticing too. I have visited cafe Italiano on multiple occasions both with family and friends and I must say every visit has been equally good.
A few dishes that taste heavenly are :
1. Gnocchi: Well, these potato dumplings are delicious and soft when served hot
2. Ravioli: I loved the ravioli pasta, despite the fact that I don't fancy Ricotta cheese in anything, I still loved the pasta here as the formaggi sauce was yum.
3. Napoletana pizza: Yes, this basic humble pizza with a basic tomato sauce and cheese, took me by surprise. I love heaps of pasta sauce that is made from fresh tomatoes on my pizza and this pasta was exactly the way I prefer. Also, it tasted very fresh and that's why I could thoroughly relish my pizza.
I have had the bufalina pizza and formaggi on other occasions, but I am always enticed towards napoletana . Maybe cause the basics have been done right :)
4. Bruschetta: served as a starter and apparently a by product of different flours as the server told us. I am not surprised, given the bread tasted fresh. Also the portion size was decent and the toppings were generous and fresh. Good option for a starter, it was appetising.
By the way, a cuppa here is also a good option if your not in the mood to eat. They have plenty options and I have personally enjoyed the Aromatic cappuccino here and it's one of my repeat orders when I visit this place.
Absolutely loved this place and the food here.
We visited cafe Italiano for lunch and ordered penne pasta with vegetables and chicken, egg toast, protein shake and fruit platter with Greek yogurt.
The ambiance is very appealing and creative.
A must visit.
This is probably one of the few Italian breakfast option in Dubai. When in Media City, I like to go there and have a delicious cappuccino with croissant the Italian way. THey have a lovely terrace too. Decor is beautiful and such a pity it is dry since woudl be a great place to go and enjoy nice Italian food with a glass of wine. Their pizza is really good
Had a lunch here today and must say that was very impressed by their Christmas menu offering - the chicken broth soup with tiny berf and cheese ravioli was delicious and turkey with potatoes and cranberry sauce was yummy! Both portions are good in size (turkey plate -huge!) while prices are genuinely friendly (unlike their standard menu options: tiny piece of salmon for 105aed, seriously!?).
Not giving 5 points as their version of shakshouka comes with no tomato sauce (what-what?!?!) and they are kinda proud about it. And again, prices...
this used to be a go to place for Italian. We hadn't come in over a year. Furniture and menu both updated. Menu reflects some more continental as well as Arab items. Were worried that Italian food taste and quality may have changed as well but not the case. Had lunch here with a few others today and everything was still delicious.
I had been this to restaurant couple of times. As I am veg I have very limited choice, but still able satisfy my appetite. I ordered veg pasta with tomato sauce and the taste was good and cooked good. No spicy or no salt in it. I had spinach soup and it was perfect. Over all a good restaurant . Thanks for Anna who helped me to choose veg options. Waiters are too quick to respond with a smile on their face. Ambience is good.
I have been to the place twice. On both occasions while coming back from business meetings. The place has beautiful interiors. The service is quick. Food is tasty. I tried their seafood dish of the day. The portion was very small compared to the price. Its a great place for a coffee, breakfast or lunch.
Not many dishes for your choice but select few good ones. Very helpful staff, even ready to prepare certain items that are not listed in the menu. Enjoyed Truffle Pasta made on special request.
Spino is the best! Overall quality is very good, but management could be improved, a lot. Despite the service is not the best I can get in Dubai, it is still one of my preferred places for pizza and risotti. Thanks

Been many times, salads are good, tuna and mango is my fav but I guess it's not in the new menu anymore... Pizza is very good, the dough is nice and fresh... Bruschetta and burrata is also nice
I love how cafés are coming up in Dubai. There’s one at every corner, and though all of them might not be the best, there are some that really catch your attention. A café usually serves coffees with a few selection of pastries. But this has changed now with menus that almost imitate a full-fledged restaurant.
Lounge Café Italiano, located in Dubai Media City, is something along the same lines. Glance through the menu and you can easily spot steaks and Shakshuka? (In an Italian café…ahem) We decided to start our meal with some healthy avocado based smoothies, while my other guest opted for a tangy drink.
Served as starters were bruschetta and their freshly made bread. The Chef personally explained the different flours that were used.
Since the Chef chose a set menu for our party of three, we let him take the reins. From which, our mains included a burrata, Chef’s signature ravioli and a good ol’ Margherita pizza.

Ordered for my all time favorite English Breakfast.... A good start to the day..... Food is good service is just ok... A lot of Filipino in an italian restaurant... overall good experience.....
Their Napoletana pizza with burrata cheese which is an additional topping is a must try for burrata lovers. Their drinks are quite average. Interiors of the place are quite good
Located at the ground floor of Arenco Tower, the place boasts of an airy, comfy, cozy ambience that is priceless and an absolute gem for when you’re looking for a place to work on some deadlines or grab a quick lunch. I always fall in love with rustic places that really know how to pull it off well whilst still giving the interiors their own identity.

Lounge Cafe Italiano is a discovery that was made thanks to our Donelli tasting session. Located at the ground floor of Arenco Tower, the place boasts of an airy, comfy, cozy ambience that is priceless and an absolute gem for when you’re looking for a place to work on some deadlines or grab a quick lunch. I always fall in love with rustic places that really know how to pull it off well whilst still giving the interiors their own identity. This place is actually also a gastropub but it’s done in a very classy way that it is hard to tell so. It’s also a combination of modern minimalist which also makes it an ideal setup for meetings and events. They sell authentic Italian products inside that add to allure of the place besides the fact that about 90% of their staff are Italian too! They have live music every now and then at nights so that’s something I’m yet to check out and very much looking forward to. They have an open kitchen and pastry section where you could select some mouth watering treats and enjoy the freshness of it all! My bruschetta was very much enjoyable as fresh ingredients were evidently used. From the first bite of the tomatoes, it was crunchy and juicy which complimented the combination of it with bread as it crackled. The cheese and olive oil was absolutely delectable with it too. There were also sausages wrapped in puff pastry but served in tidbits which I liked since I usually get overwhelmed if they are any bigger. I also loved my risotto for many reasons. First, it was not soggy or overly creamy. It had that touch of al dente to it as it was supposed to be. That’s risotto done right! And the truffle oil and on top just added a luscious richness to the dish making it taste as good as the simple presentation was. I loved me some cheese so I asked for additional Parmesan cheese on top! The panacotta was wonderful because it tasted very nice and creamy but remained firm and solid in texture and consistency. It remained compact and had what seemed like a layer of geltain at the bottom. The drizzle of chocolate added a nice dimension of sweetness to it as well. I think it’s safe to say that we have found another favorite place to add to our list of hang outs here in Dubai.
Lounge Cafe Italiano is an Italian owned and managed restaurant which serves authentic Italian food. It is an upmarket and trendy eatery. It is a place to indulge in Italian gastronomy. Lounge Cafe Italiano is located at the ground level of Arenco Tower in Dubai Media City. The location is easily accessible.
If you are a fan of Italian food, the search is over in Dubai, this I the home of authentic and proper Italian food. I had a regular margarita pizza the other day, they hit all the right notes with it. Since I discovered this place 2 years back I doubt I had pizza in any other place by my choice.
Food - chicken wrap
Quite filling and value for money. It is made using Arabic bread. The filling in the wrap includes baby corn which is interesting and new.
Service
Customer friendly staff, good reception and quick service - good place for a quick bite during office hours
Place - fancy Italiano restaurant with great atmosphere. See through kitchen
Just below my office and a great place for business lunches. Nice decor and ambience inside, and weather permitting the outdoor seating is a good option. Ordered the beef lasagna and a drink. Fairly large portions and well presented.
Staff were nice and friendly. Overall a good choice for a decent business lunch
I reckon with this place as a mood-transformer. The place seduces you by its interior and ambiance from the time you enter here. Picking your option from the menu is also easy. Well, I do not like the pizza. They can do it better than this when compared to price we pay here. But they have a few good juice blends as well. I love their Avocado shake. However, during rush hours of lunch, they tend to deliver the order with delay. Shall come again to try their desserts as I could see a lot of good options.
Had baby spinach with grilled shrimps and they are delicious. This is the 3rd time here and each time I enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended for a change.
Been here about 5 times because it's very close to home. The full breakfast is actually the best value breakfast I have had in Dubai.
Generally a good food experience for the price. The tuna mango salad is a winner and the kids meals are a good size also.
I would really like to give 5 stars but the service is almost always terrible. Friendly for sure, but not competent. You have to stalk the waiter every time you want anything. There doesn't seem to be a system at all.

Lounge Cafe Italiano offers plenty of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Along with the food options, one has the luxury of enjoying football games or maybe catch a tennis match on the projector screen located at the corner of the café. There are other screens around the lounge café too.
For drinks, Gustoso is a good choice. Gustoso is made with Almond milk and Avocado mixed with Peanut butter and white Chocolate sauce.
For starters, Baby Spinach, Avocado and Roast Pepper Salad with Pine nuts is one of the best options and Balsamic Dressing. The freshness of the Avocado along with Pine nuts not only makes up a brilliant salad but it is healthy at the same time. The Balsamic Dressing has vinegar as the main ingredient it adds flavour to the salad.
I loved the Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli with Sage Butter Sauce served as a main course dish. The dish maintains well balanced flavours.
For dessert Chocolate melting cake with stewed Strawberries and Vanilla Ice cream is a definite choice. The cake is filled with melted Chocolate that oozes out once you take a bite of it. Just delicious.
The service is decent as well.
Truly a Family restaurant with staff that care and go to the extreme to please their guests with fresh wonderful dishes. I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys tasty exquisite Italian cuisine since whatever is ordered is fresh. By far the best Italian restaurant in Dubai!
excellent food in a relaxing atmosphere - thank you
Went over for a quick lunch / bite on a busy Wednesday afternoon. The place was quite packed with mostly office goers. Ordered a double espresso and a salad of the day. The presentation was very nice. Ordered the tuna avocado and mango salad. It was yummy and had the right balsamic seasoning/dressing on it. The portion was apt for one person.
Very satisfied. Would definitely recommend to anyone. My colleagues ordered the tiramisu.
Overall very happy.
I tried for appetizer the baby spinach salad I liked it, the Sesame and honey coated tuna loin accompanied by Sicilian orange salad drizzled with organic pink grapefruit, and it was something different, Half meter chef special pizza (with bresaola and truffle oil) and i loved it a lot.. full of Italians flavours..
also tried for main course the raviolis with ricotta and spinach butter and sage sauce, it was super yummy .. loved it alot and defiantly will order it again there .. the other main course is the Risotto milanese with saffron, parmesan and gold honestly didn't like it .. maybe i am not a risotto person.. the third main was Mini tuna steak with eggplant in fresh tomato sauce and basil, this was so good..
the dessert was Warm chocolate melting with strawberries and vanilla ice cream, Chocolate and ice cream calzone, it was extremely delicious.

This is a great place! The best sushi I've ever eaten in Dubai! Everything is perfect and very tasty: risotto, pasta, pizza and tiramisu! the staff is very polite and pleasant, a very cozy and atmospheric place! I will definitely come there again!
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) خدمة عملاء فائقة الودية وجيدة. كان الطعام جميلًا حقًا وسأكون في غاية يوصي. موقع جيد ويسهل الوصول إليه حقًا ، يوجد ترام (مدينة وسائط) ومترو بالقرب من الفندق ، على بعد 5 دقائق سيرًا على الأقدام. أقرب مترو يمكنك رؤيته خارج المطعم هو مدينة دبي للإنترنت. بدت البيتزا جميلة وليست باهظة الثمن.

Super friendly and good customer service. The food was really lovely & I would highly recommend. Good location and really easy to get to, there is a tram (media city) and a metro near by, 5 mins walk. The closest metro which you can see outside the restaurant is Dubai Internet City. The pizzas looked lovely to & it is not too expensive.
