Are you someone who is always on the lookout for places where you can dine with your loved ones and enjoy a meal that’s delicious and comforting? If your answer is ‘yes,’ then you will be pleased to know that there’s a new Italian restaurant that’s open in Dubai.

Rocambolesco Brings Italian Flair To Dubai

Bringing Italian flair to the heart of Uptown Dubai, Rocambolesco is a restaurant that you wouldn’t want to miss. This is a charming restaurant that is inspired by Rocambole, a 19th-century literary rogue. The eatery has borrowed his name because it serves the spirit. It is Italian at heart and rocambolesque in attitude. This is the place where you can experience one plate and one story.

Kitchen Headed By Michelin-starred Chef Luigi Stinga & Executive Chef Alessandro Mirabelli

Rocambolesco’s Kitchen is led by Michelin-starred Chef Luigi Stinga and Executive Chef Alessandro Mirabelli. They have combined experience that spans some of the most acclaimed restaurants in London, Cirus, Hong Kong, and the UAE. The moment you walk in, you will be greeted by the colourful decor of this vibrantly decked restaurant, with beautiful accents adorning the place.

The walls here feature quirky works of art, which brighten the space. Offering comfortable seating, the restaurant has a design which allows a smooth transition from daytime meals to a lively evening gathering. The venture embodies the Italian philosophy of La Convivialità, which emphasises shared dining and connection amongst guests.

What Can You Expect From The Menu?

Once you’re done taking in the beautifully decorated restaurant, you will have to take the time to appreciate the menu that’s been crafted to perfection. While you are here, you have to try the Burrata, Spaghetti, and Tagliolini. Talking about the dishes served here, you will want to try their Italian Garden for starters. While you are at it, don’t forget to try their Baby Chicken and Veraci Clams. You have to try that Tiramisu and ‘cake of the day,’ as well, once you’re done eating to your heart’s content.

If all of these details sound good to you, don’t forget to drop by, and we are sure you will not be disappointed.
