cafe milano - four seasons hotel abu dhabi

visited cafe milano a couple of weeks ago  for the saturday brunch.

the restaurant is really nice, the terrace completely opens up and created the impression that the whole restaurant is outdoor. the weather was nice that day so we really enjoyed that feature...

food was very good.  the saturday brunch concept consists of sharing antipasti and starters and pasta, and choosing 1 main course per person. desserts where also to share, at which point we were completely full after the enormous amount of food served.

service was attentive and quick.

good value for money also...

before visiting café milano at four seasons in abu dhabi i was convinced that one could not have a authentic italian experience outside of italy. this quickly changed right after i devoured the starter with the mind-blowing burrata with beautiful wild tomatoes and asparagus’s. i believe what i’ve had so far at any place hasn’t been burrata, except for the one today!

the starter was accompanied by the chefs special pasta dish with seafood. the main was very authentic in its character and the flavors were completely autonomous, almost getting hungry while describing this dish again.

to finish of this beautiful culinary experience, and once you think it can’t get any better, it just gets better. we were served with tiramisu, probably the most extraordinary tiramisu i’ve had in my life too, and i’ve had many :). words can not even describe the explosion of flavors which occurred putting the first spoon and sensing the flavors. everything was rounded of with an italian cup of cappuccino with almond milk.

i can now go back on my conviction and say that i have experienced the best italian food outside of italy!

i am happy with their service. they accepted us even we don't have reservations. we are so lucky that we tried this place. we ordered prosciutto de cecina and spaghetti gucci and by far, the best italian food i've tried here in uae. thank you team for great service.

beautiful cocktail by mattew. thank you so much! the best i have ever had. and stuff are really friendly and gave me a good vibes.

excellent service and great food.
i had a risotto it was tasty and also the cocktails are delicious. 👍

terrible dinner with very rude staff except for editha & her one colleague they were delightful. all our requests were ignored & they did not even offer bread or even the menu until we asked for it. definitely would not recommend. food is average.

cafe milano has a great italian food and superb service. we had the tomato soup, pizza and the lamb chops, which was well-prepared. the team was very nice and helpful. highly recommend for the fine dining.

went there for a business lunch ...nice view and good selection of italian food ...delicious food, great service and friendly atmosphere..classy italian restaurant

from the entrance cafe milano took our breath with the beautiful view! patrizio da roma was out host for the evening and he really took great care of us with top notch service! from food to desserts everything was just delicious and amazing! patrizio also ensured our request to celebrate our friends birthday was done perfectly with customized pastry with our friends name on the plate! we all really had an awesome time! thank you!

absolutely delicious!

we went there the last saturday and surprisingly the has this amazing friuli venezia-giulia brunch.

there are so many good things about this venue that y really do not know from where start.
the selection of cold starters was just enough to start the meal, delicate flavor, high quality of charcuterie and cold cuts; the panini and the pizza fritta were so light and tasty that after we ate them our appetite was more than ready for the next course: "hot starters'' the frittata with parmesan cheese is definitely something to highlight from the hot starter section, there were spinach and leeks tortino which has a perfect cloudy texture and really balanced flavor, the fagioli soup is a must if you go there! it really made me feel like if i was at home.
and finally; la pasta!! i no want to exaggerate but the home pasta was perfectly cooked, it is for much the best pasta i have ever tried in the uae so far... the thinness of the ravioli will make you understand the truly italian skills of the chef and his team, i will not describe how wonderful the flavor was because i do believe this one of those dishes that people must go to taste because any description of any ''blogger'' will have the right words to explain it. the ravioli came along with a long pasta with beef ragu, the shape of the pasta was a kind of ''bugattini'' perfectly cooked as well, i will just say i'll be back soon to the brunch only to repeat at least 5 times that pasta.
if you think that is enough, well when we talk about italian gastronomy never is enough: we got both main courses, the goulash with polenta and the black code, again the cooking method of the stew in the goulash, the flavor of the seasoning and the texture in the polenta take me back to home again. as a seafood lover, i was really excited waiting for the black code so as the rest of the food was just extremely delicious i got really high expectation from the fish, so after the first bite, i confirmed the marvelous chef the have at cafe milano - four seasons abu dhabi. no more comments... unfortunately we could not finish the main courses as it was too much food for only two of us.

i've talked too much about the place already but it will be unfair if i finish this review without mentioning how good, professional and engaging staff they have at cafe milano, mr. patrizion was the head waiter on charge of our table, the service was smooth and we definitely felt we were served by a professional. overall the staff was smiling and well-groomed. i saw the sommelier serving a glass of chianti in one of the nearest tables and i could appreciate his skills and professionalism, i think we made as well our aperol spritz so well done!! our table was approached by a gentleman who i think must be the gm or the maitre, i made the quality check twice and even helped me with an issue a was having (lost my mobile in the taxi) so overall the experience was beyond the expectation.

i'd like to highlight that even though the saturday brunch was amazing, this is a restaurant that has more to offer to the public in general, is the right place to go for dinner and enjoy a lovely bottle of franciacorta

i had great time with my friend she was the one invite me to this restaurant the staff was friendly and the the food very authentic try there pizza its very delicious thank you for that experience

went to four season hotel and in my expectation that the service and treatment for the restaurant as the hotel name , unfortunately the service was bad , the waitress treat us very bad specially when we used the entertainer coupon and when we paid the amount the waitress returned the card in bad way without thank you, the waitress tried to force us to order drinks and we don’t want , and we was waiting for the food long time .

@cafemilanoae - this #italian joint ticked all the right boxes for its #fivestar service at the gorgeous @fsabudhabi. be it the fried #calamari, #duck #ragu #pasta, #truffle chips to name a few..all the dishes were spectacular😋 and to end it off with gooey #chocolate #fondue cake, #icecream & #raspberry #coulis was the highlight😍

lovely and satisfactory experience at cafe milano.
i had the three course business lunch with my brother and we were both equally impressed and satisfied with the food, service, and ambience.

it’s definitely a place i would recommend to others and visit again.

had been here for business dinner last night. the set menu was average. the service was slower. some people left by the time the main course was getting over as it was too late & took desserts home. i hope next time there’ll be better menu with a better experience.
