A typical hotel restaurant. Nothing fancy; although the service is great and the food is tasty. Prices are reasonable for a hotel. Clean and the staff are attentive. Will go back again to taste something new.

Ladies Night every Monday with an offer of 3 complimentary drinks (selected cocktails, spirits or a bottled beer) and unlimited pizza for AED 89 only.Gents will pay for the same but only 1 drink is complimentary. But overall the offer is great, food and drinks were all superb.

Nice food and wine. Went to a family brunch and there wasnt much to do for the bigger kids apart from pizza making which started 2 hrs after we arrived. Good atmosphere and food for adults though.

It was a pleasant evening at Certo for some good food. Monday happens to be Ladies night and you will get some good pizza and drinks at a reasonably good price. Opted for their set course menu instead, was a pleasant dining along with the great and attentive service from Ganesh. He comes by to check on our selection of food and ensures the food suits our tastes. Would definitely come back again to try out their pizzasssss cause it looks soooo good.

Food and drink both excellent. Great variety in the food selection, and great to have a classic Italian Sangiovese as the red wine option. Ganesh looked after us incredibly well, he was very attentive, and our plates and glasses were never empty! I would definitely recommend Certo. The service was professional and the interior design is class.

It was my first time visiting Certo restaurant. I came there with my friend for La Bella Vita night. Pizzas are great. They have special offer, where you can get unlimited pizzas from 6-11 pm every Monday for girls & 3 alcohol drinks for a very good price.. I loved their rose wine Pinot Grigio, it’s really good!

Nice lunch venue in Dubai Media City. Newly refurbished with a menu full of offerings. The lunch set menu is perfect for a light lunch, while still having Italian pasta. The service is exceptional and attentive to every request.The parking however during lunch can be difficult as the Radisson Hotel valet is full, but the restaurant hostess advices we call the restaurant directly to manage next time.Next time we try the dessert!

Little Ethan: “Mama, Lets go for a drive?”Mama: “Where to little bub??”Little Ethan: “My favorite brunch place!!!”@certodubai is officially Ethan’s (and ours)favorite brunch place!We went there two weeks ago and we had such a lovely family brunch after ages!Needless to say this was the first time that I enjoyed a brunch with Ethan.They have a beautiful play area with face painting, balloons, clown play, magic & everything a child would want to be entertained!They also have pizza making for children under 12 years of age & they have their own kids buffet (from where I nicked a lot of fruits tarts😈).This is not just a kid’s place! We had a lovely 6 course lunch along with 1/2 a bottle of wine per person for just AED109! If that isn’t a catch, I don’t know what is! If you are into Italian food then this place is match made in heaven.I know a lot of my friends who stopped family brunching like me. This will be your favorite place from now onwards.Thank me later ❤️

Superb Italian food in lovely, cozy settings. You wont feel the hustle & bustle of the Media City around you at all.We were there for dinner. Due to the Corona situation, there were very few other customers. Service was really nice and efficient, even with only 2 serving staff handling the whole restaurant.All in all, it was a great experience!

Amazing food. Beautiful atmosphere. Feels like a home in Italy. Beautiful choice of wine and the cellar is the piece of resistance in the decor. Food is excellent. Cocktails tasty and the pizza is perfect : just enough crusty but thin, ingredients from Italy.Will definitely be back!

Very nice ambience and lovely italian music. In italian restaurant we expect to enjoy our food, but it was just eatable even it looked not bad in the plate. Nothing to do with real italian flavours.We ordered arancini siciliani (3/5), melanzane alla parmegiana (2/5; it was dry and no parmezzane taste at all) and dessert: rum baba (4/5) and canollo sicilliano (1/5, ricotta was so fat and sweet that made it impossible to eat the dessert).

Cosy Italian restaurant on the ground floor of Radisson Blue in Media city with a bar facing the entrance, an impressive wine rack and a glassed in kitchen. Certo’s casual atmosphere, no strict dress code and no loud party music, feels like comfortable dining at home. Certo’s friendly service makes you believe you are joining a big family for a lovely meal.Recently renovated, Certo is decorated in warm pastel colours with posters portraying the Italian way of life. I personally enjoyed sipping wine at the spacious bar and chatting with fellow strangers.My dinner, inspired by the best what Italy has to offer, was paired with white and red wines from the vineyards of Chilli. While I adored the presentation, focusing on bright colours and good simple ingredients, the taste of all dishes brought back the memories of my last vacation in Rome. Lovely place for a quiet night out.

Certo was my go to for power lunches back in 2007....to 2012. Having visited lately, I must say service and food is not the same, not as authentic. Shame. Hope you bring back the authenticity of Italian food and hospitality.

Being Italian, I can confirm that these guys got it right. Atmosphere is very elegant and relaxing with absolutely outstanding service, well done to the team! I had a very good beef carpaccio as a starter followed by a al dente pasta all’arrabbiata. Often you can see the real culinary skills from the most simple dishes. Everything was really good. A really special mention to the sommelier, who -to my surprise-knew very small local yet excellent wine producers from my region in Italy. Highly recommend!

Went here for ladies night, totally worth it for unlimited pizza and 3 cocktails. They even have pork pizza! Highly recommend the Negroni. The ambience is nice and cozy, comfortable seat, though sometimes the place is too dark. Staff are kind and helpful, with great service. And you never feel rushed. Only thing to improve would be pizza should have more cheese and more sauce. A must visit!

Loved the way of receiving people and guiding through the dishes and all. Food tastes amazing too. Special mention in Breakfast is served with Indian Parata with aloo batani, and so many varieties including healthy juices, fruit bowls and what not. Each session of the day they provide well prepared food and serves with smile under the mask (as its covid time 😂 and how do I know? I can see it in their eyes 😜) . They kept sanitizers every corner and keeps everything sanitized and clean. Deserves 5 ⭐ rating. Special mention to the people who serves .. Kudos to all 🙏

Will be back and will recommend to my friends as well. Thank you.

Was here for Sunday all you can eat pizza and it was great. For 89 you will get one house beverage and pizza. They will bring whole pizza to your table and once you finish, another one etc. The pizza is good, above Dubai average. Staff are very kind.It would probably help if they share what are the pizzas on the list so you know what to expect.

Having an expert like Ganesh who not only recommended our dishes but served us with utmost courtesy.
