Feel like a Euro summer, but no time to travel? Craving the authentic flavours of Italy right in the heart of Dubai? Then join us for Nonna’s Table, a family-style Italian feast inspired by the heart of every Italian home: nonna.

This August, every Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm, you are invited to gather with family and friends around a table that celebrates the essence of Italy. Featuring slow-cooked, rustic Italian fare that tells a story with every bite, Nonna’s Table promises to be a welcome way to spend a Sunday in Dubai.

A culinary journey to Italy in the heart of Dubai

On the calm banks of Dubai Creek in the historic centre of the city lies The Boardwalk. Set against the stunning marina with gorgeous views of the Creek, The Boardwalk’s charming outdoor terrace invites you to share the joy of shared meals and family moments.

At Nonna’s Table, you can look forward to an array of rustic dishes designed to evoke the spirit of the Italian countryside. Picture golden potato frittata that’s crispy on the outside and tender inside, cheesy bulz-stuffed polenta that offers creamy richness with every bite, and tender braised meat of the day cooked to perfection. To finish, indulge in the sweet paradise cake served with delectable dippings; a dessert that promises to be as memorable as the meal itself.

The story of Nonna’s Table

Nonna’s Table is more than just a menu; it is a heartfelt tribute to the timeless tradition of Italian grandmothers, or Nonna, whose kitchens were always filled with love, patience, and the aroma of slow-cooked goodness. Each dish served is crafted with recipes handed down through generations, preserving the authentic flavours and rustic charm of Italy’s countryside kitchens.

The culinary team at The Boardwalk is deeply passionate about honouring these age-old recipes. With meticulous care, they recreate the feeling of gathering around a family table, where every pot simmers gently for hours and every ingredient is selected for its freshness and quality. Each dish is prepared to capture that sense of warmth and nourishment only found in a true Italian home.

This dedication to authenticity and storytelling through food makes Nonna’s Table a unique experience. It is a place where guests don’t just eat but connect with the spirit of Italy’s culinary heritage. It invites you to slow down, share, and savour the simple joys as if you were stepping into your nonna’s kitchen.

The perfect Sunday escape

While away your Sunday afternoon surrounded by friends and family, enjoying the delicious taste of Italy without having to pack a single suitcase. This is a Euro trip without the flights, a summer holiday without the jet lag. Take in the aroma of slow-simmered pots, flour-dusted aprons, and authentic Italian cooking techniques, and then go home and sleep in your own bed. Nonna’s Table invites you to a warm and cosy atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional Italian home, without having to go anywhere.

Priced at AED 200 per person for the sharing-style menu, with an optional free-flowing beverage package available for AED 150 for two hours, the experience is designed to offer both value and quality in an elegant setting.
