From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

When it comes to authenticity in Dubai (a rare commodity, the first place to look would not usually be the marina.

Stefano’s is a casual Italian on Marina Walk and it sounds promising, as the owners are Italian and the ingredients flown in from Italy. However, a great Italian restaurant, it seems, this does not make.

The decor is distinctly dingy (particularly the toilets), and it’s difficult to pick out a theme from the various odds and ends that litter the place: a poor watercolour here, a ship’s wheel there, and quaint red, chequered tablecloths.

The menu, however, shows more promise, and the dishes are properly executed and tasty, but not earth shattering. Stefano’s isn’t a revelation; nothing about the food or ambience demands your attention.

But, it is a good, trustworthy, low-key spot and a nice place to take your family for a reliable bowl of carbonara, should you find yourself nearby.
