Italian cooking on a Fashion Avenue terrace facing the Dubai Fountain
GIA sits on the ground floor of Fashion Avenue at the Dubai Mall, with a terrace that opens directly onto the Burj Khalifa lake. Tables along the rail look straight down at the fountain, which means the room empties toward the glass every half hour after dark and fills back in once the water settles.
