May, 2026, Dubai, UAE – A new Italian dining destination has arrived in Dubai Silicon Oasis with the opening of Novecento, a refined yet welcoming space that brings together authentic Italian flavours, contemporary design, and immersive hospitality under one roof.
A Restaurant Rooted in Italian Craft
Novecento introduces a dining philosophy centred on simplicity, precision, and ingredient-led cooking. Designed as a neighbourhood destination with a premium sensibility, the restaurant strikes a balance between everyday comfort and elevated dining.

A Bar at the Heart of the Experience
Anchoring the restaurant is its striking central bar – a sculptural focal point that sets the tone for the entire venue. Designed as a social hub, it brings energy and rhythm to the space, transitioning effortlessly from daytime aperitivo to late-evening gatherings.
The bar programme features a curated selection of Italian-inspired aperitivo, signature mixed drinks, and classic creations, designed to complement both pre-dinner moments and extended evenings. More than a service point, it is a space for connection, conversation, and ritual.
Chef-Led Authenticity
At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Pasquale Rufino, whose culinary approach is grounded in Italian tradition and regional authenticity. His philosophy focuses on restraint, allowing high-quality ingredients and precise technique to define every plate.
The menu reflects a deep respect for Italian culinary heritage, reinterpreted for a contemporary audience in Dubai. Handmade pastas, slow-cooked classics, and seasonal seafood dishes come together in a menu that prioritises balance, depth, and clarity of flavour.
Cento Moments

With its blend of authentic cuisine, design-led interiors, and experience-driven hospitality, Novecento positions itself as a standout addition to Dubai’s evolving dining landscape. It offers guests a space where Italian tradition is not only preserved but reimagined for today’s city lifestyle.
