Impeccable Italian style, dynamic decor and entertainment, and a fabulous spread of delicacies make for an outstanding Saturday brunch at Bella!

The elegance of Bella is best highlighted by their plating and presentation – please admire:

I’ll come back to the delights presented as part of Bella’s Saturday brunch, but first a view of the ambience.

Situated on the 20th floor, high above Dubai’s new and trendy Business Bay district, Bella is exposed to the views yet enclosed in climatized glass – the effect is one of airiness and abundant natural light.

And Bella sports a luxurius and fully-stocked bar.

The bar is at your service attended by a young talented bartender, directly from Italy, Mr Gioele Nocent, who not only was able to mix improvisation into your preference, but also do so with exemplary flavor and flair.

Along these lines, the service was stellar and refined.

And also the live entertainment followed suit at a high level of sophistication.

And so the scene is set for a majestic Dubai brunch – and then comes the first course, and you realize you’re in for a very special brunch indeed!

Oh yes!

A marvelous entree of very lively tasting seafood crudi, not only presented as an artistic masterpiece, but also matching in delightful flavors – each morsel is taken with eyes closed in ecstasy, as the palate overloads the brain with sensory pleasure: a magnificent dish!

Look closer:

And this very selective, almost personalized attention to each bite becomes the foundation of the brunch at Bella.

See how the butter is carefully dressed, for example:

And so went the brunch, course after course of exceptional Italian cuisine.

Beef bresaula, from the northern regions, with Parmesan cheese slivers

Battered seafood platter, a favorite all round Italy, of southern origin.

And an innovative and fine interpretation of an incredibly thin and crispy layered burrata “pizza”!

Of course, those were just the appetizers!

Now come the first and second courses, accompanied by appropriate wine selections.

Above, quite a rare pasta choice, and probably the first time you have had the opportunity of sampling, Bigoli with Anchovies and Broccoli Puree; and below, from your choice of three mains, an excellent well-seasoned and juicy grilled Angus striploin steak.

A Sicilian Nero d’Avola serves as house wine, representing the reds,

or you may partake from Bella’s personal wine cellar, ready with chilled champagne, for those extra-special occasions.

Dessert?

Again that sense of style and fashion applied to representing Italian cuisine and culture.

Overall, Bella Restaurant & Lounge brings culinary haute couture to Dubai, at a very high level of sophisticated degustation of Italian delicacies in an ambience of flawless styling – this is a unique representation of true Italian flair.
