Dubai, UAE: Big Mamma now unveils Gloria Osteria at The Ritz-Carlton Gate Village in DIFC, transforming the space into a seductive, 1970s-inspired Italian masterpiece.
Designed by the group’s in-house Studio Kiki, the restaurant features soaring windows and golden light. Velvet banquettes curve beneath oversized Murano chandeliers, while archival fashion memorabilia and reflective mirrors bathe the room in a warm, rose-hued glow.
From Sicilian Gardens to Private Sanctuaries
At the heart of the experience is the terazza, which is set to become one of DIFC’s defining outdoor spaces. This open-air Sicilian garden is complete with a Starlit Lounge, making it the perfect destination for an aperitivo or an elegant nightfall gathering. For those seeking discretion, Gloria offers an intimate private dining space for up to 14 guests, crafted for occasions that call for a sense of refined elegance.
A Culinary Journey of Craft and Origin
Gloria Osteria brings a steadfast commitment to exceptional produce. The cucina focuses on ingredients sourced from artisans across Italy: Parmigiano Reggiano perfected over generations in Emilia-Romagna; Truffles chosen at their peak aroma from Piemonte; Artisanal Burrata crafted for a sublime, soft texture.
Indeed, these imported treasures come together with fresh produce from local UAE farms to enrich the menu with intention. The gastronomic journey begins with light antipasti and crudi. Guests can enjoy pastas crafted in-house daily, such as the rich Tagliatelle al Tartufo or the coastal Linguine alle Vongole.
