“Been coming here for years — the thin crust pizza is simply the best in Dubai. The Tikka Indiana pizza is a must try. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff are always warm and welcoming.”

“A Dubai classic — the original UAE pizzeria. The Lasagne Bolognese is incredible — thick, saucy and extremely satisfying. Loved the outdoor seating area in the cooler months. Great value for money.”

“Capri Signature Bread is something else — you have to order it. We also had the Seafood Saffron Risotto which was absolutely amazing. Reminds you of a real Italian trattoria, not a fancy restaurant. Very authentic.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
“Solid Italian food at reasonable prices near the DWTC. The pastas are all homemade and you can taste the difference. Service is a bit slow during busy times but the food is always worth the wait.”

“This place has been a part of Dubai’s history since the 70s — and it deserves its reputation. The Tiramisu here is one of the best I’ve had outside of Italy. Consistently good food, friendly staff, great value.”
