Mezzaluna Launches Wholesome Kids Menu Packed with Italian Favourites

The beloved Italian Trattoria Moderna, located within Yas Mall, has just introduced a fresh selection of dishes tailored for little ones, adding even more family-friendly flair to Abu Dhabi

Let the whole family say ciao to exquisite cuisine as Mezzaluna, the Italian Trattoria Moderna nestled on the ground floor of Yas Mall, has just launched its brand-new Kids Menu. Offering a delightful array of child-friendly dishes made with the same care, quality, and authenticity that defines the Mezzaluna experience, this is the ideal way to start your kids on their first epicurean adventure. Designed to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters, this menu turns mealtimes into memorable moments for the entire family.

Born in New York in 1984 and brought to Abu Dhabi by Doğuş Hospitality and Retail Group, Mezzaluna has always stood out for its balance of authenticity and accessibility. The restaurant blends the charm of a traditional trattoria with a contemporary flair, wrapped in inviting interiors of warm wood, colourful ceramics, and its signature half-moon motif. With a wood-fired oven at its heart and a menu that adapts to the seasons, Mezzaluna is a vibrant dining destination where comforting Italian classics meet stylish, casual elegance.

Now, Mezzaluna is adapting its warm, home-style approach to younger guests with a Kids Menu that reflects the same passion for flavour and quality. The perfect locale to enjoy a weekend family lunch or a mid-week treat, the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere, engaging presentation, and carefully curated children’s options make it a standout choice for families. With its playful plating techniques and balanced ingredients, each dish has been thoughtfully developed with little diners in mind.

The new menu kicks off with light and fresh starters, like the colourful Rainbow Salad, a cheerful mix of lettuce, carrot, cucumber, cherry tomato, and sweetcorn. Another comforting choice is Red Riding Hood’s Soup, a velvety tomato soup served just the way kids like it, simple, warm, and satisfying. These starters are a gentle introduction to the flavours of Italy, tailored to younger palates.

Pasta lovers can build their perfect plate with Mezzaluna’s selection of penne dishes, served with a rich Bolognese ragu or a choice of classic tomato or creamy sauce. Over on the pizza front, little ones can choose from the indulgent Cheese Hunter, a Margherita topped with double Fior di Latte; the adorable Rabbit, shaped like its namesake and equally fun to eat; or the Pinocchio, a cheeky creation topped with frankfurter sausage, corn, and tomato sauce.

For something more substantial, the Venetian Fish Nuggets, Chicken Nuggets, and Napoleon Meatballs provide hearty options, packed with flavour and served in kid-friendly portions. Of course, no meal is complete without a sweet treat, so why not choose from the Torta del Giorno (Cake of the Day) or the ever-popular Roman Ice Cream, served with a variety of delicious flavours that will leave little diners grinning from ear to ear.

Introduce your kids to their first taste of Italian cuisine with Mezzaluna’s Kids Menu, promising that even the youngest foodies can savour something special. With each dish crafted to reflect Mezzaluna’s signature dedication to quality, families can enjoy meals that are as memorable as they are mouthwatering.
