In a city known for pushing culinary boundaries, TOTÓ takes Iftar to new heights with an Italian twist on Ramadan dining. Nestled on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, the restaurant is a tribute to the golden era of Italian cinema, offering an intimate yet sophisticated setting where tradition meets indulgence. This season, TOTÓ’s specially curated Iftar menu seamlessly blends Middle Eastern warmth with Italian finesse, making it one of Dubai’s most intriguing Ramadan dining experiences.
The evening unfolds with a selection of carefully crafted starters, designed for sharing. The Burrata from Puglia, served with delicate tomato carpaccio is a refreshing contrast to the richness of the Saltimbocca alla Romana, where veal, bresaola, and sage butter create layers of deep, savory flavor. The Focaccia Iftar is a Ramadan-exclusive addition, featuring a spread of creamy hummus, robust tapenade, and silky stracciatella, while the Vellutata di Lenticchie offers a comforting nod to the traditional lentil soup, elevated with an Italian touch.
For the main course, diners can indulge in timeless Italian comfort food. The Raviolo TOTÓ, freshly made and served in a rich tomato sauce with Grana Padano, basil, and Datterino tomatoes, is a dish that feels both familiar and indulgent. Meanwhile, the Polletto alla Cacciatora a roasted baby chicken slow-cooked to perfection delivers deep, rustic flavors. For seafood lovers, the Spigola Grigliata, a pan-seared seabass paired with a fragrant eggplant caponata, is a standout option that balances freshness with bold Mediterranean flavors. No Iftar is complete without a touch of sweetness, and TOTÓ’s dessert selection delivers a memorable finale. The Profiteroles, wrapped in crisp kataifi pastry, offer a satisfying crunch before giving way to a creamy, indulgent center. And, of course, no Italian feast would be complete without Tiramisù, a timeless classic that remains as rich and decadent as ever.
Beyond the flavors, the setting at TOTÓ adds to the charm. The warm glow of candlelight, plush interiors, and an atmosphere reminiscent of a classic Italian film set the stage for an evening that feels both celebratory and intimate. Whether dining with family or gathering with friends, the experience captures the essence of Ramadan, sharing, storytelling, and savoring every moment.
For those seeking an elevated Iftar experience, TOTÓ offers a refined yet welcoming escape from the ordinary. Reservations are highly recommended.
