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 BREAKFAST
LUNCH AND DINNER
THE Drinks
At Ciao Bella, our drinks menu brings the spirit of Italy to your glass. From classic cocktails like Aperol Spritz and Negroni to a handpicked selection of Italian wines, every sip is designed to transport you straight to Rome, Milan or the Amalfi Coast. Whether you’re after a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio, a bold Tuscan red, or an espresso martini to finish your meal, we’ve got the perfect pour for any moment. Ideal for after-work drinks, weekend catch-ups, or a relaxed aperitivo in the heart of Media City, Ciao Bella is where Italian flavour meets Dubai’s laid-back vibe.
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
Ice Cream in Sicily
Sweet, playful, and impossible to resist, our Ice Cream Trolley brings a touch of Bella’s cheeky side to your afternoons. From French vanilla and coffee gelato to Limoncello, mango, passion fruit sorbets, indulgent sugar free peanut butter & pistachio options, each gelato cone is a story of flavour, colour, and fun. Grab one on the terrace, share it with friends, or simply enjoy a little Italian mischief in every bite.
Monday to Friday from 12pm onwards
Salad bar
Take a break from the ordinary and dive into Bella’s vibrant world of Italian flavours. Our Salad Bar is a 45-minute culinary journey crafted by our chefs, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and a variety of creative salads that balance taste, texture, and colours. Each plate reflects Bella’s playful spirit, generous, lively, and bursting with the essence of Italy. Dine in for a relaxed, interactive experience or take away your favourite mix to enjoy on the go.

Fonduta Venerdi - Fondue and wine
Fonduta Venerdì brings that same warm, indulgent energy to Dubai. Dig into endless Italian fondue made from a lush blend of Pecorino, Fontina, Parmesan, Taleggio, and Gorgonzola, served with all the right things to dip, nibble, and share. The team keeps the wine flowing, still or sparkling, because Bella always said cheese is good, but cheese with wine is where the magic happens. Make sure to keep some appetite for the bottomless chocolate fondue!
