No one does understated sophistication quite like the Italians. This beautiful Italian restaurant at the Emirates Palace, which is under the direction of chef Antonio Guida who made and cemented his reputation in Milan, celebrates family-style – or ‘cucina di famiglia’ – cooking. Dishes may appear quite simple but the flavours are exhilarating. Purity and vibrancy are evident in sublime pasta dishes like maccheroncelli alla Genovese; turbot with Mediterranean guazzetto; and the tiramisu, which is made right in front of you.
