At Chic Nonna, some of life’s greatest pleasures are found around the table. Inspired by the warmth, generosity, and timeless traditions of Italian family dining, the award-winning restaurant introduces Il Pranzo della Nonna, a new weekend lunch experience available every Saturday and Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM.
In Italy, lunch is more than a meal, t is a ritual. A moment to slow down, reconnect, and share stories over dishes prepared with care. Drawing inspiration from the beloved tradition of gathering at Nonna’s home, Il Pranzo della Nonna brings this spirit in DIFC through a curated set menu designed for leisurely afternoons and meaningful moments.
Guests can choose between a two-course menu for AED 130 or a three-course experience for AED 140, featuring a selection of Chic Nonna’s signature Italian dishes. Starters include Lentil Salad with Tropea onion, fennel and goat cheese, Prawns with Caponata, Pizzetta Marinara, and Zucchini & Mint Soup.
Main courses showcase authentic Italian flavours through dishes such as Homemade Caserecce Pasta with basil pesto, Risotto with Argentinian prawns and Amalfi lemon, Pan-Seared Salmon with green pea purée, and Veal Scaloppine with lemon sauce and mashed potatoes. To conclude, guests may indulge in a classic Tiramisu or a refreshing scoop of homemade gelato or sorbet.
Designed as a weekend escape from the pace of the city, Il Pranzo della Nonna captures the essence of the Italian table where meals are never rushed, conversations flow freely, and every dish is served with heartfelt hospitality.
Whether gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply embracing the pleasure of a long Italian lunch, Chic Nonna invites guests to experience a tradition that has been passed down through generations.
