I went and loved it, the food was the best I had in Dubai in the last 3 years. I tfelt fresh and clean. Portion on appetizers are too small I have to agree and bread should come with the meal (not as an extra). Other than that, the restaurant has a great atmosphere and we had a great time. Helped though that they gave us a discount because they were understaffed and service was a bit slow...

My DH and I went as "testers" just before the restaurant opened so the staff could practice. The food was very good. But have to agree with other posters, it is pricey and appetizers were on the smaller size. We go again but it would have to be a special occasion. Too pricey for us to just drop into for a casual lunch.

I'd say download a recipe, pass by MMI, light a candle and have better fun at home.....

Aghhhh what a shame, I was looking forward to trying it, Jamies Italian in the UK is absolutely fantastic & very reasonable prices......

food was good, but the most expensive pasta I've ever had. Too pricey for the location or atmosphere. Not planning on going back.

The food is great - excellent quality though we found the starter sizes to be quite small. It is pricey though. Drinks particularly a rip off - 105dhs for a jug of 'lemonade' - 2 crushed lemons and some sparkling water! Not pukka!

We went last weekend and it was okay. Hubbie had a starter of sardines that was ridiculously small. Even the staff were a bit embarrassed. The main courses were lovely, I had pasta, he had chicken cooked under a brick. With added on salads etc it ended up being pretty pricey for what you get. I liked the restaurant atmosphere and might go again. Not sure about hubbie, he was very annoyed by the sardines. We went before Amy and Hubbie declared it a night of being ripped off by Brits trading on their names. FFx
