Vivaldi
Alfredo Russo's Vivaldi Restaurant has been recognized as Dubai's finest Italian restaurant. In this place, hidden in the depths of the old city, gourmet awaits excellent cuisine, and romance - a view of Dubai Creek. Through the huge glass windows from floor to ceiling, a wonderful view of the Bay opens, which in the evenings is slowly plowed by luminous abras.
When the chef, who boasts a Michelin star, runs the restaurant, the kitchen promises to be on par. But we advise, in addition to dishes from meat and fish, be sure to try pasta here. "We, like many other restaurants, make fresh pasta every day, but we cook them according to the traditional recipe - with egg yolk, so our pasta is very soft and thin," says the chef.
Among other dishes, stewed veal and mashed potatoes with horseradish deserve attention. The meat is stewed here for 8 hours - just imagine how juicy and melting it is in the mouth. Aniolotti pasta with veal in oil sauce with sage is hearty, but at the same time non-greasy. For dessert, you should take cream creme brulee mousse or ice cream with gorgonzola cheese, which is served with a salad of Italian chicory, beets and walnuts. It sounds strange, but it tastes great.
Yes, it's not cheap here. But the combination of Italian cuisine, a luxurious setting that is perfect for a date, and a picturesque old area makes the restaurant worthy of a visit. By visiting it, you will discover a new corner of Dubai, which you may want to return to again.
