Let’s start the year on a high note, and nothing can beat a chilled ambiance great view and delicious Italian food. You will find all this they serve the best Pizza al Taglio in town astonishing crust and great toppings. We ordered: Margherita Pizza, the sauce is supremely balanced crust baked to perfection, loved the burned areas Burrata Pizza, as simple as it’s cousin the Margherita, but richer due to the sundried tomato and the cold Burrata over the hot pie elevate the whole taste and add a touch of freshness to whole dish Bresaola Pizza, the real meaning of happiness, each bite in itself is orchestra a beautiful note of sweetness from the sauce and bitterness form rocket leaves and freshness from the Buffalo Mozzarella. This pizza is a beautiful scenery from Valtellina Diavola Pizza, the hint of spiciness wakes up the taste buds and tingle your tongue. Orata al Forno : 800gram deboned seabream and roasted baby potatoes, extremely aromatic, cooked to perfection super juicy. They also have the tastiest Bombolone: Italian donut stuffed with cream, fluffy, chewy and burst in your mouth. We were full couldn’t try the freshly churned Ice cream but definitely coming back for that😊

Every time my wife and I visit mamsha, this place is always packed. And as a lover of Italian food, especially with a view, we were wanting to see what all the fuss was about. We ordered the parmigiana, which is like eggplant parmesan, pasta aglio, and the Buratta flatbread pizza with a tiramisu for dessert. The pasta was excellent, al dente to perfection, and not greasy. Unfortunately, the other items were just OK. The parmigiana at Dolci and Capricci is better because of the tomato sauce; this one lacked the binding effect a good marinara should bring to the cheese and eggplant. The flatbread pizza at Emmy squared was crisper and had an overall better taste, perhaps also because of the tomato sauce. I wish I could say good things about the tiramisu, but it was heavy on the cheese/cream (could not tell if they actually used mascarpone but did not taste like it) without enough espresso for the sponge cake, meaning it was a bit dry. And with the final price of nearly 300 dirhams for two people, better to go for the view and coffee and gelato. Alcohol is available for those wanting it and the service was excellent. Also, easy to pay and order.

** Tasteless food, chaotic service, nice location ** The location is lovely and the concept is cool - but these are all the good things I have to say. We ordered two pizzas - burrata (65 AED for half tray) and the stuffed potato pizza (70 AED for the half tray). The dough was very good but the pizza didn’t taste like anything. The tomatoes and the tomato sauce were really bland (in a country where you can find great tomatoes, that is very weird). The potato pizza didn’t have any salt or flavour - I am Italian and barely add salt to my food so it was really tasteless. The ice cream was ok (30 AED) for a single scoop - pistachio was better than chocolate but not great. Service was chaos - no real system for the waiting list and literally saw someone walk in, ask for a table and complain the wait was too long - she got a table right away. Our table was attended by 5 different people who seemed to run around without a clear system and the table was cleared while I was still eating the last pizza slice.

Very good little Italian licensed trattoria, located on Mamsha Saadiyat promenade. Pleasant environment and a promise of good, traditional Italian food. Not as fancy as some restaurants in the UAE but, hey, this segment was missing and it's a great idea. The promise was indeed kept! Food is good, and no surprise there, as Simone is the previous chef in another good Italian along the beach! I found the supplì surprisingly good, that's a good addition to the usual menus! Bravi! I also enjoyed the pizza al taglio, with many options to choose from (just one comment there, I miss the thick soft pizza al taglio, please try to introduce that option in the future!). Ioved the pasta cacio e pepe, not easy to make it right, and right was it! The staff is careful and fast, of course everyone is new and some more time will make the whole machine perfect. I enjoyed the dinner and, as Italian, I recommend you pay a visit to Antonia, and I am sure you will like it! I will certainly be back! Cheers!

An Italian Restaurant located on a beautiful beach. The weather was perfect when we visited, and the ambiance was lovely with a stunning view of the sea. The staff were very welcoming attentive throughout our visit! Now, let’s talk about the pizza. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, which was nothing short of delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside, while still being chewing on the inside. The sauce was flavorful, and the cheese was perfectly melted. The pepperoni was the star of the show, with the savory and spicy flavor that complimented the other ingredients perfectly. To top off our meal, we had the pistachio ice cream for dessert. It was rich and creamy with a strong pistachio flavor that was balanced just right, making for a perfect end to our meal. With a picturesque location on the beach, this is the place to be. Location: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Staff: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: Plenty underground parking for visitors. First hour is free, then AED 10 for each hour.
