    This was an ok dinner, but nothing like the hype surrounding it - or the price would suggest. The menu is good, but nothing really sophisticated. The quality of the food reflected this. The wine card is also good, but again lacks sophistication. What made the evening was the outstanding service. Great ambiance, a cool place to see and be seen. Lots of reasons to go - but a real foodie will go somewhere else.

    The food is great if you don’t mind the blatant racism. Being seated at the back is fine but seating ALL the arabs in the back? I mean come on they don’t even make it subtle. They seated all of the arabs all the way in the back near the kitchen and there was not a SINGLE arab seated in the main floor. Not a single person wearing a kandoora or abaya being seated in the main floor. Segregation is weird isn’t it? I really didn’t expect this in my own country. It’s not like there were no seats in the main floor. We assumed that we were the only people being seated at the back and we might see some expats seated near us, but no, only arabs. All of my friends had the same experience over multiple nights. To be fair, this is a branch issue because the Dubai Mall branch doesn’t have this problem. I really hope whoever does the seating gets fired because this really shouldn’t be a problem that I am faced with in my OWN COUNTRY. It’s a shame because the food was actually great (except for the ribeye but the rest was good!) If you are an expat that wants to avoid arabs in an arabic country, then this place is GREAT for you. 😁 Will be warning any Emirati coming to this restaurant about this. Hope you get this sorted.

    The tables were too low in relation to the chairs, the spotlight was above us, very aggressive light. It was a marathon as the waiters were in a hurry to serve everything to finish quickly. I felt really sick and I started sweating.

    The food and service was excellent. My only complaint was the cost. We spent over $500.00 USD for two persons. One appetizer, two glasses of wine each, two entrees and one dessert.

    The food was very average and over priced. The bill said that no service charge had been added so we added a service charge. When we got back to our hotel we checked the Bill because it seemed high and they had added 120AED to the Bill for no reaon so plus the 100AED i had added it came to extra 220AED. I find it totally dishonest what they did and will never go back to the resturant.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I wanted to let you know that my friends and I had dinner at your place yesterday and I have to say the service was chatastrophic. First of all, the spaghetti were not cooked through and when I pointed this out to the waiter, he put the spaghetti that we had on the plate in a bowl and cooked them again. so all the sauce was boiled away afterwards. after that we wanted to have the famous meringue cake. but the service brought us two cheesecakes. I pointed this out to him, but he refused to exchange it, even though it was his fault. for the fact that we paid €500 for the meal, I think it's a shame that we were treated so badly. This event from yesterday made me very, very angry and sad!

    Franchement très décevant. Nous n’obtenons une réservation qu’à partir de 23:15 pour une cuisine qui ferme à 23:45. Le serveur reste à 1 mètre de la table toute la soirée et se mêle presque de toutes nos conversations. Il pousse à ce que tout aille très tres vite. Allez au Mc Donald aurait été moins stressant et plus intime. Vraiment a ne pas refaire.

    The food was nothing special, I have visited countless Italian restaurants with better food. The staff was courteous and friendly but kept forgetting to bring the things we requested (another glass of wine etc). There was also constant cigarette smoke as some people smoked in the bar - something that I really thought was a thing from a disgusting past. The price was overall way too expensive compared to the whole experience. I would not recommend this place, there are countless better restaurants in Dubai.

    Yesterday i went with my boyfriend to have lunch and this was the experience: Since the moment we walked into the restaurant we felt that we were being judge at all times, from the gent that sat us down in the table to the waiters taking the order and saying with a sarcastic tone: "if that's what you want...", when we acknowledge that we were going for business lunch. We were approached by 5 different people and all of them didn't show at any time a single sign of sympathy, all the opposite, they were extremely arrogant, rude and they rushed us throughout the meal having in the restaurant 5 tables max! Not to talk about the quality of service it self: at all times close body positions, non attention to detail, when putting the MEP of next course they were, probably on purpose, putting the plate in my face almost hitting me, we were not asked for allergies or dietary restrictions etc.; so i do not really understand why they had behaved in such a poor and unprofessional manner when the BASICS of hospitality it is evidently not mastered. It is a big disappointment to see and experience what that company with such reputation in the industry in Dubai has become. This was not my first time dining in Cipriani Dubai but certainly the last.

    Over priced barely Italian food. You can get much better and real Italian food almost anywhere for a much friendlier price. The price did not match the value. The pizza dough is not Neapolitan nor is it Roman, so what is this pizza? Extremely greasy Cacio e Pepe, horrible taste, gave me a heart burn for the rest of the night. The only think I liked is the exceptionally friendly waitress from Morocco.

    Yesterday I went for a lunch with my friend and I asked for a trifle pasta. The waiter said that they don’t have it on the menu, but they can just add a trifle on any other pasta. I agreed on that. Then, first of all - nobody ask me which kind of trifle I want white or black, second of all they didn’t even mention about the price or how many grams of trifle they will add. Even when they brought trifle, I haven’t seen any scale. The food was delicious, obviously, but it ended up that we paid for the trifle more than for the entire lunch, and we didn’t even know how they counted it , because as I mentioned, I haven’t seen any scale. Disappointing.
