Chitarra, the new Italian restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Downtown, has officially opened its doors, offering the city a taste of genuine Italian hospitality. The launch comes as Dubai continues to embrace the art of pasta-making, soulful cooking and genuine Italian hospitality.
At Chitarra, pasta isn’t just served, it’s made by hand in full view of guests. The open kitchen creates a dynamic theatre where sauces are stirred, focaccia is baked, and pizzas emerge from the oven, all reflecting the energy of a traditional Italian trattoria.
Guided by the principles of simplicity, soul, and substance, Chitarra brings together seasonal ingredients, authentic recipes, and an all-Italian team passionate about food and hospitality. Head Chef Fabio Avolio leads the kitchen, blending his Italian heritage with international experience to deliver a menu spanning the sun-soaked flavours of southern Italy to the hearty richness of the north.
With a curated Italian wine list, rustic dishes meant for sharing, and a welcoming space for 40 guests, Chitarra is poised to become a Downtown Dubai hotspot for locals and city explorers alike, where you can enjoy everything from a sunset Negroni to a long weekend lunch.
