Break Your Fast at Mezzaluna, Abu Dhabi’s Newest Italian Hotspot

Born in New York and with multiple branches across Turkey, Mezzaluna is where great food and meaningful connections come together, making Ramadan the perfect time to experience it. Now open in Abu Dhabi’s vibrant Yas Mall, the restaurant captivates with its warm, inviting atmosphere and authentic Italian cuisine, crafted with ingredients sourced straight from Italy.

To honour the holy month, Mezzaluna has unveiled an exclusive menu featuring sharing-style appetisers, hearty mains, and a decadent tiramisu, offering the perfect way to gather with loved ones and savour the restaurant’s timeless charm.

Once guests step inside Mezzaluna’s newest branch, you will be greeted by its signature earthy tones, rich wooden accents, colourful yellow and blue handmade ceramics, and striking half-moon artwork. Meanwhile, the thoughtfully arranged tables create a warm, communal setting, perfect for embracing the spirit of togetherness this Ramadan. Alternatively, for a more immersive experience, diners can also take a seat at the counter and watch the culinary maestros in action.

This sacred month, Mezzaluna invites guests to break your fast with a delicious four-course feast, starting with sweet dates, water, and creamy labneh to warm up the palate. Next up, dive into a selection of sharing starters, including Nocellara green olives, creamy burrata with grilled vegetables, a refreshing panzanella salad, and a hearty Italian brown lentil soup.

For a richer bite, enjoy layers of flavour with melanzane alla parmigiana and tender beef meatballs in a vibrant pizzaiola sauce, setting the stage for a truly satisfying meal.

As the evening unfolds, guests can choose from a selection of mains, each bursting with rich, authentic flavours. Indulge in velvety fusilli al pesto di basilico, or savour the earthy goodness of a pizza funghi, crafted with 48-hour fermented dough for that perfect light, airy bite.

Alternatively, tuck into juicy grilled corn-fed chicken paired with a fresh rocket and tomato salad, or delicate seabass, beautifully balanced with sweet datterino tomatoes, briny olives, and capers. Finally, round out your iftar on a sweet note with a luxuriously creamy tiramisu.

Available throughout Ramadan from 6:00 PM until midnight, this special menu embodies Mezzaluna’s contemporary take on authentic regional Italian cuisine. Crafted by an expert Italian chef, each dish showcases high-quality ingredients and time-honoured recipes that bring a true taste of Italy to the capital.
