Luciano’s, the alfresco Italian restaurant nestled within the lush gardens of Al Habtoor Grand Resort in Jumeirah Beach Road, has refreshed its menu with a curated selection of handcrafted classics and contemporary creations that celebrate the depth of Italian cuisine. The revamped offering brings together comforting favourites and refined interpretations, each conceived to transport diners to the heart of Italy without departing the warmth of Dubai’s coastal gardens.
The menu opens with tempting appetisers including Grilled Provolone, Wild Mushroom Arancini, and Beef Carpaccio, before moving through an enticing selection of Italian staples. The classic Margherita Pizza and truffle infused Tartufina sit alongside heartier offerings such as Lasagna, Gnocchi Pesto, and the creamy indulgence of Funghi Porcini Risotto. Each dish carries the essence of Italian tradition, executed with care and attention to ingredient and technique.
For those drawn to richer preparations, the kitchen offers Seared Salmon, Slow Cooked Braised Beef, and premium selections from the grill: Wagyu Rib Eye and Canadian Lobster stand as elegant expressions of refined protein cookery. The progression concludes with Italian inspired desserts including the classic Tiramisu, refreshing Limoncello creation, and rich Chocolate Caprese, allowing guests to linger over sweet closure to their meal.
The setting itself contributes to the experience. Surrounded by verdant gardens, dotted with palm trees and softened by gentle string lighting, Luciano’s embraces the philosophy of leisurely dining. The alfresco arrangement encourages guests to slow, to savour each element, and to embrace la dolce vita within the resort’s garden embrace. The atmosphere balances rustic charm with contemporary comfort, creating the conditions for unhurried lunches, intimate dinners, and memorable gatherings alike.
