Not the first time here. I use to have dinner and brunch here many times for many reasons; the food is great, if you are looking for something special, they have, if you are looking for the Italian taste, is always over the average. You cannot find a best dish, because all are made with passion and the best and fresh ingredients available on the market. But the must try are the glorious appetizers, the tartare (beef and fish), the risottos and the tagliata. You will love Al Grissino mainly for the food and the service, then you take a look around, and you see the breathtaking view of the downtown Dubai. Once you try, you always get back.

Romantic atmosphere with scenic views of Dubai down town and amazing food! The staff are very friendly and polite and would definitely recommend this restaurant . There’s a bar/club next door to the restaurant which stays open for longer hours in the night .

Place is way over priced for pasta I can cook at home. Pastas are like $28. Crazy expensive for normal pasta one can cook. Was it bad, definitely not, but was it worth $30 bucks? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The view was pretty yes, but that’s not worth the price in pasta. Also it was quite dead here, no real ambiance and definitely not a “sexy” place. Pics look much different than website. I’d give it 1 star if the food was terrible, which it wasn’t.

Amazing Italian dinner with a marvellous view. Very tasty carbonara. Try the interesting looking tiramisu. Staff were very helpful. Very good for a date or special evening out. Live piano in the background. A must go

We started at the bar for happy hour and had some fun conversations with the bartender who made us feel welcomed and almost at home. After a drink we headed into the restaurant and was greeted by our server Shako. Shako was great! The food was sooo good! We came in really hungry and left stuffed ready for a nap. 5/5

I go there after work. Good place to relax and the staff are awesome. There was a time when I did embarrass myself by having all the alcohol I could swallow and the staff were really patient with me and made sure I was safe. Did a brunch there food was really good. I only gave it a four star as the price is a little out of my reach everything else is amazing.

The food is ok,nothing too special, though ambience is a little bit old fashioned, you have nice view is sitting by the window, but restaurant is not lively, missing some good energy. The prices are like other fine dining restaurants in Dubai, so higher than average. Service is good quality, staff is nice.

Al Grissino is an Italian restaurant with an excellent menu. They are located in the Financial Towers. The service is excellent and fast in general. The appetizers and the food prepared uniquely by the specific chef. The view is fantastic, especially if set in the window areas with views of Burj Khalifa. It is overpriced in general, considering the quality of the food.

Review №42

I love Al Grissino, it has become one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai with romantic atmosphere. We have been there a few times and food has been great every time, but my favorite dish is their Mushroom truffle Risotto.The staffs are really nice, liked their live music which I think it is on Wednesdays… although it was a bit loud for the size of the restaurant. If you are not too hungry try to have a drink at the bar first, because the space has a very elegant, unique and interesting design.

Review №43

Nice restaurant, elegance and view, are almost unique. The quality of the kitchen, managed by the Italian chef, is unique. The flavors and the beautiful presence of the dishes remind us of Italy.The desserts are excellent and beautiful to see.the only exception is the presentation of the tiramisu. It does not have a pretty sight. Its just a judgment of an Italian cooking enthusiast.

The views are stunning...an amazing selection of seafood and steaks along with to die for desserts. Couple that with friendly knowledgeable efficient staff and you come away with a feeling of being somewhere that knows what service means. Prices are not too over the top. Parking available.Definitely recommend for business entertaining or that special.occasion. Well be back. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Had a wonderful meal at this excellent restaurant where we were treated to truly outstanding service. Everyone was extremely attentive but not annoyingly so. Shako couldnt do enough for us and the same can be said for all the staff. The food was simply delicious: the octopus starter was amazing and the sea bass main as well as the seafood spaghetti delicious. During the course of the meal it naturally came up with the waiters that it was our wedding anniversary and they brought out a deconstructed tiramisu for us as a celebration -amazing! Would definitely go back.

Review №52

Good experience. Food was very delicious, especially octopus- very tender. Special pasta was good and tenderloin was so juicy. From cocktails we ordered negroni, cosmopolitan and Moscow mule. I really liked negroni. The team provided really good service, our waiter was very friendly and paid attention to details of order. Bar tube looks very unusual and instagrammable. From minus- first minutes after arriving we felt quite strong fish smell- so maybe there are some issues with ventilation system. However, we stopped to feel that smell after few minutes. Overall we have been satisfied of that visit.

Looks great and worth a visit. I have been there twice.Bar is very well designed and staff is extremely friendly.Food isnt as good as most would expect and staff doesnt seem to know how to serve dishes to big groups.Chairs take up a lot of space and look much better than they feel.Valet parking is only free for a couple of hours so would be good for dinner only but if youre going to sit they will charge you i think 25 or 50 dirhams for every additional hour.

Review №57

Excellent food, some details to be improvedPluses- Splendid, fine dining quality food. Seafood starters very fresh, with great seasoning. Lamp and Argentine beef steaks cooked professionally, sides very nice too. Finished with one of the best tiramisu Ive had outside of Italy- Knowledgeable, professional staffArea for improvement- If you pride yourself with a nice view from your restaurant, then having super dirty windows in this price category is not OK- Organization of service - During each course, 3 separate waiters came to ask whether the food was alright. They kept us interrupting while we were talking and eating. While I value the intent, one person asking would have been enough

We went first time to Al Grissino after reading positive reviews on Trip Advisor . Were welcomed in the TUBE BAR with a smile and attentive service by the bar staff Faizan . We were lucky as it was Ladies night going on . Enjoyed the drinks and food with a mesmerizing view of Burj Khalifa and Burj al Arab . Will definitely recommend if you love to be in a Cosy and relaxing ambience with refreshing drinks and good music . Will definitely come back soon

Review №76

I think words are not enough to describe all the amazing experience. It’s a must to visit this place, starting from the bar where from each corner you can have Burj Khalifa view and continuing with the excellent service of the staff. We have been served at the bar from Faizan who made us feel home and in the same time privileged. Whatever we were asking even though he needed to take it from the restaurant side he was making it possible. If you are lucky to be served from Faizan, accept his suggestions. He knows what you need for your drinks.

I have been to this restaurant for the second time everytime it get improved especially after customer or guest comments,which is good. The floor view is amazing, it is great for anniversary occasions celebrations. I had my friend birthday anniversary down there and they are unique in term of presentation the desert with the candle was also surprised .I loved it.The waitress seems friendly especially the Philippine in there I forget her name my apologize she is super friendly my recommendation if you want to enjoy your time you have to make a reservation to guarantee you have a great table.The food was different and I loved the Porata salad it was nice. Finally it was a good experience and I recommend them to keep it up and make sure that try your best to satisfy the the guest which is not easy just try your best, also thank you for the restaurant manager he was quite helpful too.
