If you’ve been craving an authentic Italian feast that doesn’t require a plane ticket to Rome (or a frantic Google search for ‘best pizza near me’), then get ready to say ciao to Bella Bocca! Nestled in the heart of the iconic Jewel of the Creek at Marriott Marquis Dubai, this brand-new Italian hotspot is ready to steal your taste buds—and possibly your heart.
Bella Bocca: Where Every Bite is a Love Letter to Italy
Bella Bocca isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a love affair with Italian cuisine, led by the culinary wizard himself, Chef Clive Micallef. With two decades of experience and a passion for bringing the true flavors of Italy to life, Chef Micallef has curated a menu that will transport you straight to the cobblestone streets of Florence or the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany. And no, you don’t even have to pack a suitcase.
From handcrafted pasta that tastes like it was made by an Italian nonna (because, honestly, it probably was) to wood-fired pizzas with that perfect, slightly charred crust, every dish at Bella Bocca is a tribute to Italy’s rich culinary heritage.
What’s on the Menu? Pure Italian Magic.
Let’s talk food—because let’s be real, that’s why you’re here.
- Frittura di Calamari e Gamberi – Light, crispy, and dangerously addictive.
- Cacio e Pepe – Simple, creamy, peppery perfection.
- Polipo alla Griglia – Chargrilled octopus so tender it might just melt in your mouth.
- Pizza Diavola – A little spice, a lot of flavor—this one’s a crowd-pleaser.
- Penne Ragu di Anatra – A rich, slow-cooked duck ragù that will have you licking the plate (no judgment here).
- Rafaello – A playful, coconutty, chocolatey bite of happiness.
And let’s not forget the Tiramisu and Panna Cotta alla Vaniglia—because dessert isn’t just a treat; it’s a necessity.
Italian Ingredients, No Passport Required
Authenticity is the name of the game at Bella Bocca. That’s why every dish is made with top-tier Italian ingredients—think Parmesan Reggiano straight from Parma, Caputo flour from Naples, and olive oil that’s basically liquid gold from Sicily. The menu also gets a seasonal refresh, so there’s always something new (and delicious) to try.
Sip, Savor, and Soak in the Views
What pairs best with world-class Italian food? A world-class drink, of course. Whether you’re in the mood for a crisp Aperol Spritz, a robust Italian red, or a refreshing handcrafted cocktail, Bella Bocca’s curated beverage selection ensures that your glass is never empty (unless you drank it too fast—we don’t judge).
And did we mention the view? Overlooking the picturesque Dubai Creek, Bella Bocca offers a spacious outdoor promenade, perfect for everything from a cozy date night to a lively dinner with friends. With its warm, welcoming ambiance and shareable dining concept, this is the kind of place where meals turn into memories.
