AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN DUBAI

Ciao Bella is inspired by Bella, raised in a loud Italian kitchen by day and a little mischievous after dark. Warm, generous and comforting at heart, the menu celebrates classic Italian flavours with subtle modern twists. As the evening unfolds, the mood turns bolder, cheekier and more playful, just like Bella herself. Set in the heart of Dubai, Ciao Bella is a relaxed, colourful bistro where great food, Italian charm and genuine hospitality come naturally.

THE TERRACE

Step out onto Sicily, our breezy outdoor terrace that brings a slice of southern Italy to Dubai. With warm lighting, chilled beats, and fresh air, it’s the perfect spot for alfresco dining, after work drinks or weekend vibes. Sip on spritzes, share a few small plates, and soak up the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Whether it’s lunch in the sun or cocktails under the stars, Sicily is one of Media City’s coolest terraces.

EVENTS & PROMOTIONS

Salute - Aperitivo

Unwind the Italian way with Salute, our daily Aperitivo ritual inspired by Bella herself for only AED 35 for one drink and Cicchetti. She grew up watching her family signal the end of the day the same way every time: a clink of glasses, a small bite, and a moment to slow down before the night took on its own personality. Now in Dubai, Bella keeps that tradition alive, but with her own playful twist.

Daily – 5pm to 8pm

Grab one on the terrace, share it with friends, or simply enjoy a little Italian mischief in every bite.

Fonduta Venerdi - Fondue and wine

Fonduta Venerdì brings that same warm, indulgent energy to Dubai.
