During our experience staying at Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Media City, we had the opportunity to dine at Certo Restaurant. Located in the West Tower lobby of the hotel, Certo is an Italian restaurant that has a cozy and intimate atmosphere, making it perfect for informal meetings or dinners.
We recently spent a few days in Italy and enjoyed eating Italian cuisine during our trip. That’s why I was glad to hear that we were going to dinner at Certo. I was impressed with their menu selection which had a good mix of traditional Italian food and more modern or innovative options.

Restaurant Review: Certo Dubai Italian Restaurant
Certo goes to great lengths to make its guests feel like they are dining in The beautiful Italy. The restaurant exudes warmth and friendliness in an environment adorned with black and white images in elegant gold frames that evoke the genuine Italian way of life.
The restaurant also has a semi-open kitchen that offers a great view of the chefs in action. This is a great way to see how the food is prepared.

You will be greeted by a huge wine cellar located in the center of the restaurant. It was interesting looking at this structure which made a wonderful center piece.
The restaurant has a sleek and elegant interior with an extraordinary atmosphere, making it ideal for casual gatherings or date nights.

Certo’s menu is a delicious mix of classic and contemporary Italian dishes. We had some a la carte specials and paired them with their house wine drinks.

To start, we ordered the Grilled Tiger Prawns and the Pan-Seared Scallops. We are glad we got both as they were both cooked to perfection. The prawns were juicy and had a great smoky flavor from the grill, while the scallops were buttery and had a nice sear.
