Italian dining is never in short supply in Dubai, yet the best addresses know how to keep things moving. Arrogante Dubai has recently introduced a new menu that blends timeless Italian traditions with modern flair, placing quality produce and comfort at the heart of the experience.
“Arrogante’s culinary evolution was inspired by Italy’s rich gastronomic heritage, yet shaped by our guests’ appetite for modern expression,” said Chef Koyi Tanabe. “The result is a menu that feels familiar yet unexpected — rooted in authenticity but designed to excite.”
That philosophy plays out across courses that balance finesse with generosity. A crudo of Ricciola e Mandorla sets a fresh tone, the amberjack lifted by clean citrus and the gentle richness of almond. Handcrafted Beef Cheek Plin Ravioli leans into slow-cooked depth, each parcel carrying a savoury intensity that lingers. For mains, Branzino alle Erbe offers elegant simplicity, the seabass perfumed with herbs and cooked until the flesh flakes at the touch of a fork.
Those looking to indulge will find a premium caviar selection and a selection of Wagyu cuts, from tenderloin to a statement Tomahawk. The approach is classic, yet the execution is contemporary, with sauces and sides that complement rather than crowd the plate. Throughout, the kitchen keeps a steady focus on balance, texture and temperature, so the flavours remain clear and confident.
The setting underscores the mood. Located at Address Residences Dubai Opera, Arrogante draws on the natural terrain of Italy, with light beiges and sage greens creating a calm, sophisticated backdrop. Tables suit both cosy dates and larger gatherings, and the vantage point delivers an unmistakable Dubai moment with Insta-friendly views of the Burj Khalifa. Service is attentive without intrusion, guiding guests through the highlights while allowing the produce to do the talking.
For diners seeking hearty Italian flavours served with style and a view, Arrogante Dubai makes a persuasive case for a return visit, and a new reason to book.
