For me is the best place to go in Dubai if you like truffle. You will find a menu very rich of options! Price expensive but good service and the restaurant is ok.

City Walk houses many of the best restaurants in Dubai and somewhere near the top of that list is Tarfuti & Friends. If there is one thing that everyone in Dubai loves is Truffle and Tarfuti & Friends has a ton of it. I personally enjoy truffles a great deal and I have never seen a restaurant that serves truffle with so many dishes. I usually look at the ingredients of each dish before deciding on what to order and it was impressive to see T&F managed to create so many dishes that works with truffles. You have to have eaten the type of food that T&F serves, to be able to visualize what the dish would look like with truffles as the icing on the cake.
went for late lunch.
Staff was great, and our server catered suggestions to our dietary restrictions.
We did not have to wait long for our starters or mains and our server was patient with our indecisiveness. A menu that could have me going back because i want to try a few more things. Just one or two of our dishes did not really have an element of truffle to it ...
I went few days ago with my friend to have dinner at Tartufi & Friends located in the City Walk. Tartufi & Friends serves Italian Cuisine but what differentiate from the other Italian Restaurants is that they add Fresh Truffles to everything. Fresh Truffles from the Drinks to the Desserts!. We started with the Burrata with Truffle Honey and Fresh Truffles.
I rarely give 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but this restaurant deserve it. We came in for Christmas dinner and there were several Europeans and locals eating outside. We were the only Filipinos to enter that restaurant I am happy to be welcomed with such a friendly face of Luis one of the dining crew or was he a captain waiter, I dunno if not, you better make him one :) He sure does know service excellence. Anyway, here are my thoughts:
Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
While waiting for our food they gave us service breads which I love so much. May I suggest to give them names so when a guest ask for it the service crew know which to get. What we got looks like a tuscan bread only it was a little sweet but same crusty outside soft inside and the other was a sweet bread with black sesame seeds. We ordered Truffle fries, Half Pepperoni Half four cheese pizza and Penne with chicken and mushroom with white sauce. All of the menu items were infused with either truffle mushroom or truffle essence. I LOVE IT! Truffle flavor is one of my favorites and they were able to pull it off without the feeling satiated.
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ohhh the service. I love it there. I want to go back not only for the food but for the service. Luis was excellent. He has the most friendly face among everyone that evening. He served the food in a timely manner, service sequence was observed and he even checked us back how we were doing, how was the food which is the role of the manager. He deserves to be recognized.
Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The place has a fine dining feel at the heart of a casual dining district. The aura of the place is great for intimate dinners and celebration. The place was quiet yet cozy. It’s not like any other italian place you can find in Dubai. This one is extra ordinary with the ambiance, the food and the service combined.
Value for money ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Like I always say in all my reviews, a money spent for good food and excellent service is always worth it. This place is one of them.
After walking through city walk twice, decided to try this place and see what's the truffle all about.
The tables were well set with nice utensils and tray, the staff are very nice and welcoming even when we were just checking the menu at the door.
Before I start I want to thank our waiter Richard for his professional service, friendly and helpful recommendations. He was amazing in the moment we stepped in till the time we left. Thank you 👍
You get to see the dishes on an tablet before choosing them.
Starters:
Foie Gras: This is duck meat, I've never had it, it tasted amazing, with the chestnuts and bread. What a wonderful starter. Richard assisted in cutting it into two pieces without messing it up. Highly recommend.
Mains:
Ravioli: this is perfectly cooked, not to be biased but like 2 were slightly undercooked. However it's better than being dry. It's well worth to try it.
Beef chateaubrian: i love this one, the beef cuts were very tender and tasty, surrounded by the mashed potatoes, it was really buttery, portion might not be the biggest but its more quality.
If you like to visit such places, they change plates every different item you eat with new utensils, the staff change gloves multiple times, are dressed up elegantly and offer a top notch treatment.
The location is also away from the noisy areas in city walk, weather was great. It is classified as casual dining but they are more than that imo.
I would definitely visit again and try more items. I had my sight on some desserts but it was already late and didn't want to go home with a lot of guilt.

I just loved this place. For starters I ordered the burrata with truffle honey. It was simply amazing. For mains, I ordered the classic tagliolini pasta. The truffles just elevated the dish to something extraordinary. I also ordered the off the menu lemonade with mint which was nice as well
Tartufi & Friends is a Casual Italian Restaurant Located At Citywalk.
We Tried the Peperroni Pizza & Chicken Penne Pasta garnished with Black Truffle.
Both the dishes were good and we relished it !
The restaurant has good interiors & amazing ambience. Service is exceptional & Richard was very helpful. Go & Try if you love Truffles.
Truffle Heaven in Dubai. Walked in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were well received given the fact that we were the first customers in for lunch. Based on few of the previous reviews we went ahead and ordered the burrata with honey and truffle, the gourmet pizza and a portion of the signature tagliolino pasta. This was followed by an espresso with a dessert (The chocolate Ball) the quality of the chocolate was really nice and it tasted yum. The staff were friendly the orders came flying in and not to forget the cutlery used is really nice. Good Job fellas.
Love of truffles dragged me to this place . Visited here on a weekend evening and sadly the fresh truffles were not available so had to satisfy my taste buds with truffle oil since i was prepared for my bite there and didnt want to disappoint myself . Located in the beautiful citi walk with a lovely ambience . The interiors are well done, the pictures of truffles are all around and its a super spacious place . we tried the gourmet pizza, the classic tagiolino pasta and The Exclusive tartufi and friends burger. The service was quick and the staff were apologetic on the non availability of fresh truffles . Pizza was yum , I love that authentic kinds and this was just perfect . But the Pasta was the best , creamy and with the aroma of truffle oil....it was delicious and I am sure it would have been heavenly with fresh truffles . Burger was good but felt it was super overpriced for the mini bites. Left the place with a incomplete feeling , but with more craving for fresh truffle ....waiting to get back soon again to try the fresh truffle over my fries and pasta . Lovely service, Beautiful place, delicious food !
