Echoing the elegant design of the original Bvlgari Hotel Milano, Il Ristorante – Niko Romito at Bvlgari Resort Dubai celebrates the rich heritage of Italy. Every element of the restaurant’s ambiance has been hand-picked to ensure a seamless dining experience. Raised banquettes offer a better view of the Arabian Gulf, as a dramatic black ceiling gives the impression of dining at night under the sky. Bvlgari Hotels and Resorts’ own Michelin starred Italian chef, Niko Romito, has curated a blend of modern and classical Italian concept exclusively for Il Ristorante, interpreting the exquisite flavours of Italy with modern simplicity. Working from his three starred restaurant in Italy and regularly counseling his personally trained chef, resident in the hotel he brings to Il Ristorante – Niko Romito a menu that expresses the Italian culture at its best.

Il Ristorante – Niko Romito was awarded two Michelin stars by The Michelin Guide Dubai since 2022.

The visionary behind the signature Italian concept of Il Ristorante - Niko Romito in Dubai, Beijing, Shanghai, Milan, Paris, Tokyo and Rome, Chef Niko Romito brings extraordinary talent and artistry to the world of Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts. A native of central Italy’s Abruzzo region, he has remained true to his roots while reimagining the flavours of Italy with a daring and simplicity that rewrites the rules of classic cuisine. Before his collaboration with Bvlgari Hotels, his restaurant Reale garnered three Michelin stars for its striking contemporary Italian dishes.

Chef Niko is known for his precision and mastery of Italian gastronomy, and his bold concept—developed exclusively for Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts—establishes a new canon of Italian cooking, focusing on the essential ingredients and character that express the culture, elegance and vibrancy of the Made in Italy designation.

The Chef developed the menus and personally trained each of the chefs that helm Il Ristorante-Niko Romito restaurants around the world. He continues to act as a counselor and consultant, overseeing the integrity of the kitchen in every destination.

Born in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, Chef Giacomo Amicucci studied at the ALMA International School of High Cuisine, and, upon leaving, put his background to use in some of the finest starred Italian kitchens, working alongside some of the country’s most talented teams. In 2012, Chef Amicucci relocated to Australia — a move that expanded his range and gave him fresh insights into the role of Italian cuisine at an international level. This newfound perspective caught the eye of Chef Niko Romito, who invited Chef Amicucci to join him at his three-starred flagship restaurant Reale. In 2017, he brought his talents to Bvlgari Hotel Dubai, where he has presided over Il Ristorante - Niko Romito since its opening.
