Don't miss Dubai's hottest new restaurant, TOTÓ, by Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Nadal—experience Italian cuisine with a cinematic twist in Downtown Dubai!


This new location in Dubai marks the latest chapter in Ronaldo and Nadal’s series of successful ventures, following the openings of TOTÓ Madrid in 2021 and TOTÓ Abu Dhabi in March 2024. TOTÓ Dubai is set to carry on their legacy, presenting a carefully curated menu that fuses traditional Italian cuisine with Mediterranean influences.





Leading the kitchen is Chef Angelo Santi, renowned for his expertise in Italian gastronomy, alongside Pizzaiolo Chef Vincenzo Palermo, a master of authentic Italian pizza-making. Together, they have crafted a menu that celebrates the finest Italian flavors, prepared with precision, artistry, and a deep passion for authenticity.


TOTÓ’s menu presents an enticing variety of dishes designed to satisfy both casual diners and true culinary enthusiasts. To start, guests can indulge in the Crostini Al Caviale—crispy toasted bread layered with creamy burrata cheese and crowned with Tradition Prestige caviar. Another highlight is the Carciofi Alla Carbonara, featuring charcoal-braised artichoke flowers paired with duck carbonara, offering a creative twist on a classic favorite.





Pizza lovers will be drawn to the Tonno Rosso, a standout creation topped with mozzarella from Napoli, Delfino Battista red tuna, yellow datterino tomatoes, capers, and red onion—a vibrant medley of flavors. For meat aficionados, the Controfiletto Di Wagyu is a must-try: a perfectly grilled wagyu striploin served with crispy potato dices and finished with a generous shaving of fresh black truffle.


To conclude the meal on a sweet note, the Burrata Cheesecake offers a memorable finish, served with honey-infused ice cream, honey sauce, and crunchy honeycomb—an exquisite balance of richness and delicacy.





From 5 pm to 8 pm, TOTÓ invites guests to enjoy a special selection of Italian-inspired drinks, thoughtfully paired with complementary chef’s bites. The beverage list features the Aurea Gran Rosé from Frescobaldi, alongside a curated range of classic cocktails and Mediterranean-style drinks, creating the ideal setting for a relaxed evening. Wine lovers will also appreciate the extensive selection of fine Italian labels.


It’s also worth noting that TOTÓ is not Ronaldo and Nadal’s first foray into Dubai’s dining scene. Just a few weeks earlier, the duo opened Tatel Dubai next door, specializing in traditional Spanish cuisine. With these two establishments side by side, Ronaldo and Nadal have established a vibrant culinary hub in one of Dubai’s prime locations.
