Dubai’s appetite for Italian cuisine continues to grow, and this autumn a new name is joining the city’s dining scene. Pepe is set to open at Address Beach Resort, bringing the warmth and energy of a classic trattoria with sweeping views of JBR.
At Pepe, diners can watch as pizzas are tossed high in the air before being baked in a wood-fired oven, while a pasta market showcases a variety of shapes, sauces, and daily specials inspired by seasonal produce. The atmosphere channels the buzz of a traditional Italian dining room, with shared plates taking centre stage.
The menu celebrates authentic trattoria cooking, featuring recipes passed down through generations and ingredients sourced from Italy alongside selected local produce. Highlights include Prime Rib, Truffle Pasta, and pizzas straight from the wood-fired oven.
Desserts stay classic, with a generous Tiramisu rounding off the meal, complemented by espresso and an after-dinner digestivo for those who want to linger a little longer.
Beyond the food, Pepe offers plenty of ways to enjoy time with friends and family. Billiards tables bring a playful touch for post-work meetups, while the kids’ club keeps younger diners entertained with outdoor cinema screenings and interactive activities.
Pepe is scheduled to open before the end of the year, adding another reason to enjoy beachside dining at Address Beach Resort.
Lovers of Italian cuisine have plenty to look forward to in Dubai, with unique concepts like MamaBella, where real Italian nonnas will cook for guests; Oppidan, featuring an open kitchen experience; Felicità Dubai, bringing the flavours of Southern Italy; and the celebrity favourite, Carbone, all worth to check out.
