An authentic taste of Italy is now available at Deira City Centre with the unveiling of popular eatery Carluccio's, including a delicious selection of pizza exclusive to Carluccio's in the UAE.
The smallest Carluccio's outlet in the world, what it lacks in size it makes up in character, with a family-friendly yet sophisticated caffè atmosphere that Carluccio's diners are accustomed to.
Visitors to the third busiest mall in Dubai can now stop in for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a coffee and a snack at Carluccio's, which is ideally situated in the main atrium. A selection of deli products, specially imported from Italy, and a takeaway counter makes this a great destination for shoppers and those working locally.
Carluccio's DCC has an extensive menu of delicious Italian delicacies, including pizzas, pastas, seafood, salads and desserts. Takeaway options, including sandwiches and paninis, are already proving popular for those on the go, while counter seating is great for people looking for a quick bite to eat.
Duncan Muir, senior business manager for Carluccio's, comments: "Carluccio's brings a new type of cuisine to Deira City Centre and we're already seeing how popular the pizza and takeaway menus are. For busy shoppers and those working locally, this is the ideal place to relax, enjoy an authentic Italian meal and forget that you're in a busy mall."
Carluccio's Deira City Centre is located on the first floor main atrium, opposite the main entrance to Carrefour, and is open seven days per week from 9am until midnight. The restaurant can be contacted on 04 2501950.
This launch brings the total number of Carluccio's outlets in Dubai to five, including the recently opened Dubai International Airport terminal 3 outlet.
