Ossigeno

Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa, Al Sofouh Road, Dubai

  dubai summer 2009 city guide

Ossigeno has garnered a reputation for being one of the city’s best-loved Italian restaurants, and this is certainly well deserved. Dinner here is designed to be lingered over: begin with an aperitif as the Maitre D’ guides you through the menu of contemporary southern Italian cuisine, where traditional flavours are given a modern twist by Chef de Cuisine Micelli Alessandro. The wine list is authentically Italian too, with a selection of regional varieties that are chosen especially to accompany the restaurant’s signature dishes. If you have room, end your meal by sampling one of Chef Alessandro’s famously decadent desserts, or simply order an Italian coffee or grappa.
