Florentine Osteria Chic Nonna

A classic Italian osteria from Mine & Yours Group at DIFC is a sister project of the eponymous restaurant in Florence.

The food is the purview of the team headed by chef Vito Mollica, who combines traditional recipes and contemporary Italy in the menu. The dishes are accompanied by vintage wines from the Middle East’s largest wine cellar whose vaults store about 4,000 bottles.

The interiors of the ground floor with their high ceilings and panoramic windows remind one of a living room in a mansion — with a fireplace and art objects. On the second floor is a lounge bar, a cigar room, and a terrace with a view of Burj Khalifa.
