Since opening its doors in 2012, Roberto’s has become an emblematic restaurant that has established itself as a gastronomic haven located in the heart of DIFC. This homegrown Italian stalwart has stood the test of time under the direction of Chef Francesco Guarracino, whose culinary expertise draws the most refined of crowds with a desire for an authentic, thoughtful and contemporary Italian fine-dining experience.
This DIFC favourite promises a cosmopolitan atmosphere, sparkling city views and sumptuous cuisine. Chef Francesco’s contemporary yet traditional approach to Italian gastronomy combines European luxury with avant-garde cuisine- Roberto’s adds a delightful La Dolce Vita twist to the UAE dining scene.
Chef Guarracino has curated a menu of refined classics alongside innovative signature dishes complete with bold and inventive flavours. On his culinary style, Chef Guarracino says, “We are keen on respecting traditions while implementing resolutely modern techniques and unexpected alliances in taste.”
His culinary passion has surged from day one, being born into a family of chefs, with his father being a revered two-star Michelin chef. Chef Guarracino recalls, “As a child we cooked as a family, everyone had a task, everyone felt involved. The food we prepared was simple- tomato sauce and pasta for example but it felt like a ceremony of sorts. This is where my love of cooking began.”
