Overlooking the picturesque turtle lagoon, Il Borro Tuscan Bistro Dubai opened its doors in 2017 to capitalise on the city’s position as a top culinary destination that celebrates the cultures and cuisines of more than 200 nationalities. The restaurant strived to relay the Ferragamo family’s Tuscan tales and carry forth their commitment to the environment and eco-sustainable choices.
Fans of the food and culture frequently visit Il Borro Dubai for a taste of Tuscany, owing to Turin-born head chef, Fulvio Opalio’s culinary wizardry. Working closely with the Tuscan estate’s executive chef, Andrea Campani, Opalio developed the Dubai outlet’s menu to appease local palates whilst paying homage to cooking traditions from the motherland. A perfect adaptation of old classics into modern meals, the restaurant’s signature dishes include spaghetti ai gamberi rossi (spaghetti with prawns), insalata di spinaci (spinach salad), mezzemaniche alla norma (mezzemaniche pasta with eggplant), and spalla di agnello al forno (slow-cooked lamb shoulder).
