2. CERTO
Promising a true feeling of la bella Italia, Certo at Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Media City dishes up some of the city’s most authentic Italian food, served amid black and white photos of quintessential Italian life peppering the walls.
Start off with an aperitivo at the beautiful marble bar, before slinking into a banquette seat for La Vita Bella ladies night, Festa Di Famiglia Saturday brunch or two-for-one lunch. Think burrata, octopus salad and tuna ceviche with fritto misto, porcini mushroom risotto and pan-fried seabass. The homemade Tiramisú will round off your meal perfectly. Delizioso.

The restaurant has its own oyster shucker, too. Book now and get 50 per cent of the tasting menu, or go for lunch or dinner from Saturday-Thursday and take advantage of unlimited servings of your favourite seafood. Sea you there.
