Set within the lush grounds of Le Méridien Dubai, Casa Mia pairs old-world Italian charm with a laid-back atmosphere. We’re welcomed before being shown to a corner table overlooking the warm interiors, complete with low beamed ceilings, wooden archways and snapshots of Italian scenery adorning the walls. There’s also a spacious outdoor terrace, ideal for the cooler months.

Menu highlights

The seasonal menu begins with Zuppa Fredda di Pomodoro, a chilled tomato soup finished with fragrant basil and extra virgin olive oil.

Next is the Orecchiette e Cime di Rapa, a comforting southern Italian classic featuring traditional orecchiette tossed with sautéed turnip tops, broccoli and anchovy purée, garlic and olive oil. The slight bitterness of the greens is balanced by the savoury richness of the anchovy, creating a simple yet satisfying dish.

For mains, the Tagliata di Tonno con Rucola, Pomodorini e Limone showcases perfectly seared tuna served over peppery rocket with sweet cherry tomatoes and a zesty lemon dressing.

By the end of the meal, we were too full to sample the desserts, so they’ll have to wait for another visit.
