The story
Cafe Milano occupies the Galleria level of the Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island. Its terrace overlooks the peaceful waterfront, making it a refined setting for both lunch and dinner. The restaurant is an outpost of the acclaimed Washington, DC, original, bringing a taste of Italian tradition to the capital.
The kitchen, led by Chef Delno Chiarello, focuses on handmade pastas, fresh seafood, and beautifully crafted Italian specialties. The lunch and dinner menu offers a range of Italian classics, complemented by a carefully selected wine list. For those seeking a midday escape, the Cafe Milano Business Lunch (Monday to Friday) presents a choice of gourmet starters and mains, or a full three-course menu. On weekends, L’Italia in Tavola transforms the experience into a vibrant, mezze-style affair: guests can explore an unlimited selection of rich flavours from the Degustazione tasting menu in an elegant, relaxed atmosphere.
In 2026, Cafe Milano earned a place in the Michelin Guide, recognized for its consistent quality and inviting ambiance. The award underscores the restaurant’s commitment to authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Abu Dhabi.
Whether dining indoors or on the terrace, the atmosphere is one of understated elegance. The waterfront views and attentive table service create a setting suitable for both business and leisure. Air conditioning keeps the interior comfortable, while outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the city skyline and sea breeze.
