Mezzaluna Brings Its Italian Magic To Abu Dhabi All The Way From New York To Yas Mall

Mezzaluna, the famed Italian eatery with a 40-year legacy, is all set to make its Abu Dhabi debut this January.

But don’t let the word “casual” fool you. Mezzaluna serves up homely Italian classics with a side of flair, all wrapped in a warm, inviting ambience. So, what’s cooking behind this much-anticipated expansion? Let’s dig in!

Mezzaluna’s story began in New York, where its trattoria-style dining quickly became a hit. After conquering the Big Apple, the restaurant set its sights on Istanbul, offering diners a laid-back yet flavour-packed Italian experience. Now, it’s ready to woo Abu Dhabi’s diverse foodies. Abu Dhabi is already a melting pot of cuisines, but Mezzaluna’s home-style approach could be the fresh ingredient the city craves.

Expect signature Italian dishes served with a sprinkle of local inspiration. Whether it’s a hearty bowl of pasta, thin-crust pizza perfection, or desserts to die for, this trattoria promises comfort food that feels like a hug from Nonna.

Mezzaluna’s entry into Abu Dhabi wouldn’t be possible without Doğuş Hospitality and Retail Group. This culinary titan already operates over 90 restaurants globally, including heavyweights like Coya, Zuma, and Nusr-et. Under the leadership of Ferit Şahenk, the group has partnered with international giants like Azumi Group and Paraguas Group to create iconic dining experiences worldwide.

Arriving at Yas Mall, Mezzaluna promises to offer more than just food. It’s about creating moments, family dinners, first dates, or quick lunches that leave you dreaming of Italy. This trattoria aims to bring a slice of la dolce vita to Abu Dhabi with a menu rooted in tradition yet open to innovation.
