Because Cucina, the Palm’s favourite Italian hangout, just made your summer weekends a whole lot more delicious. Starting May 31, the charming trattoria on Palm West Beach is rolling out its Weekend Summer Breakfast Club, and let’s just say—you’ll want stretchy pants.
We’re talking all-you-can-eat Italian breakfast every Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to noon, all for AED 120 per person. Yes, unlimited. As in, keep the croissants coming. Want to turn up the weekend vibes? Throw in the free-flow Bloody Marys and Mimosas for AED 150, or go booze-free with juices, coffee, and soft drinks for AED 50. Oh, and there’s a pork menu add-on for AED 50, if you like your breakfast with extra… oink.
The Menu
Curated by the brilliant Chef Marco Deriu, the menu is a joyful remix of Italian favourites and breakfast classics—bold, playful, and unapologetically indulgent.
Here’s a teaser (warning: drooling ahead):
- Shakshuka All’Italiana – poached eggs lounging on warm pizza dough, with slow-cooked borlotti beans, parmesan, and basil.
- Pork Rib Benedict – a rebel cousin of the classic: pulled pork, poached eggs, and aged parmesan because who needs hollandaise anyway?
- Italian Big Breakfast – eggs, sausage, pork bacon, mushrooms, beans, focaccia, and tomato. The whole shebang.
- Croque Madame, but make it Italian – pan brioche, prosciutto cotto, truffle béchamel, and a fried egg with attitude.
- Pork Pizza Sandwich – stacked high with smoked provola, chilli jam, spinach, and crispy pork bacon.
- Cucina Cornetto – a jumbo croissant wearing a crown of gelati. Yes, it’s breakfast. Yes, it’s also dessert. Don’t overthink it.
Sips That Slap
Even the drinks menu got a glow-up. Smoothies? Check. Cold-pressed juices? Check. Shots that could wake the dead? Double check.
Try a kale, avocado & peach smoothie if you’re feeling virtuous, or indulge your inner child with peanut butter, Nutella & banana with coconut milk. Need a zinger? Knock back the “Flu Fighter” shot (ginger, lemon, honey) and feel your immune system salute you.
And yes, of course there’s coffee. This is Italy. (Well, Italian in Dubai. Close enough.)
Meet the Dream Team
Big summer energy is back at Cucina with Emanuele Rizzo returning as General Manager, teaming up with Chef Marco Deriu for a reunion that screams power duo. Their comeback isn’t just about good food and great service—it’s about bringing back that warm, fuzzy, “my favourite place” kind of vibe.
