Splendido, in the Ritz Carlton hotel, may just be the best Italian restaurant in Dubai. The setting is luxurious without being overbearing and there is a terrace a mere stone’s thrown from the beach for days when the sun is not too strong. For all its élan, it is upbeat and… well, quite frankly, its clientele is ritzy and chic. One of the best things about the brunch here are the chefs: all Italian. Chef Andrea and his sous chef move around the restaurant assisting customers and explaining choices in that brilliant Italian accent - very suave men. The place is tastefully small; making it a personal, exclusive dining experience with friendly staff working to a world-class standard of service. Serving such culinary delights as rolled home-made pasta filled with ricotta and spinach or black ink tagliolini with pesto, truffle oil and sautéed prawns while at the other end the delicious chocolate crème brulee is the highlight of the dessert menu. With it’s air of fine-tuned elegance Splendido is that rare breed of fine Italian restaurant, one that pushes boundaries and sticks in the memory, rather than playing safely by the numbers.
