The DPL Verdict

“Dubai's strongest Michelin-starred choice for diners who want contemporary Italian cooking with both tasting and à la carte flexibility.”

Restaurant Overview

Bvlgari Resort Dubai's two-star contemporary Italian restaurant, created by Niko Romito and led locally by resident chef Giacomo Amicucci.

Il Ristorante - Niko Romito translates familiar Italian ingredients into restrained, technically precise dishes rather than a theatrical tasting-room format. Chef patron Niko Romito develops the Bvlgari restaurant concept, while resident chef Giacomo Amicucci leads the Dubai kitchen. Current official menus include La Degustazione at AED 1,100, a dedicated vegetarian degustation at AED 800 and an à la carte menu. The dining room is polished and calm, making it better for a formal celebration or business dinner than for a high-energy night out.
