ANTONIA

MAMSHA AL SAADIYAT


Antonia is the perfect place to celebrate your dad! It might be too warm to sit outdoors and watch the world go by on the Mamsha Promenade, but the inside is as funky and as inviting as the superb authentic Italian food it serves.


We love the pizza al taglia (by the slice) ... the mouth-watering focaccia, rosemary with thinly sliced potato and of course the diavola, but the pasta dishes are something else. Close your eyes and you've got your toes in the sand of an Italian beach. For us there are some added must trys: the incredibly cheesy and delish suppli (pictured) and either some house-made gelato or one of Chef Simone's special tiramisus. Get dad an Aperol Spritz or Biera Moretti and you're going to the top of the Father's Day class!


Time: 12PM - 11PM
