Niko Romito's Italian fine dining inside Bulgari Resort Dubai.
Il Ristorante sits inside the Bulgari Resort Dubai on Jumeirah Bay Island, the Dubai dining room built on Chef Niko Romito's philosophy of purity, synthesis and lightness. Il Ristorante itself holds two Michelin stars, and Romito's own restaurant in Italy, Reale, holds three.
The design draws on the original Bulgari Hotel in Milan, with floor-to-ceiling windows toward the water and an understated, quiet finish throughout the room. The kitchen runs a contemporary Italian menu built on precise, pared-back plates, served as a chef's tasting alongside a la carte options, with the same menu format used across Bulgari's Niko Romito restaurants worldwide.
An Italian-focused wine list runs through the meal, and service is unhurried, built around a slow, considered dinner. The bar and lounge areas carry the same restrained design language as the dining room, and the resort's private island setting keeps the pace calm even as the evening fills in.
Dinner service runs each evening from 7:00 PM, with last seating at 10:30 PM and the room closing at midnight.
Address: Jumeirah 2 - Dubai - United Arab Emirates, Dubai
