Gloria will be located in DIFC Dubai
After rumours circulated a few months ago, it has been confirmed that the Big Mamma Group is launching a restaurant in Dubai and it sounds incredible already. Big Mamma’s viral Italian restaurants have become some of the most photographed culinary hotspots in London, Paris and Madrid. And now they’re expanding their restaurant empire and landing in Dubai, specifically in DIFC with Gloria.
Big Mamma is a team of Italians and enthusiasts from all over the world, united by the same ambition: to share the most authentic Italy, celebrating its cuisine, its artisans, and its joy of life.
Ten years sinOver the last decade, Big Mamma Group has created some of the most talked-about Italian restaurants in Europe’s culinary capitals. The restaurants are renowned for recreating the quintessential Italian trattoria experience with lashings of personality, audacious décor and over-the-top dishes. Their OG London restaurant, Gloria is an ode to Italy’s southern coast with a retro touch and easily fills up reservations months in advance. It’s since been followed up with equally Instagrammable, fun-filled and tricky-to-get-into Circolo Popolare, Ave Mario, Carlotta, and Jacuzzi, in London, plus La Bellezza in Birmingham.

This December, Gloria will open its golden doors at the Ritz Carlton DIFC situated at the heart of this vibrant metropolis.
Born in Milan’s Brera district, Gloria is a love letter to la dolce vita: 226 velvet armchairs gathered around a glowing Giallo Siena marble bar, eight soaring windows flooding 740m² of glamour with light, and a menu that makes the heart race , from seafood Wellington with monkfish and trout roe, to indulgent cacio e pepe and pasta crowned with fresh Melanosporum truffle.
Opening in Dubai marks Big Mamma’s debut in the Middle East for the very first time. Their mission is simple, to share our most authentic Italy, with its warmth, its generosity, and its festive spirit, in a spectacular setting worthy of this extraordinary city.
