We had a delightful Italian feast on a Friday evening at Pergolas in Swissotel Al Murooj in Downtown Dubai. We’ve already dined in this restaurant a couple of times during their Thursday Seafood night and Iftar buffet so this Italian night was something new for us to try.
Located at the lobby level, Pergolas is the all-day dining restaurant of the five-star hotel. They serve a wide array of international dishes and feature many buffet stations. They also have a lovely outdoor seating area (great to sit during winter season) that overlooks the hotel resort.

Friday Pizza, Pasta, and All Things Italian at Pergolas
As always, we try to arrive early so I could take pictures of the buffet spread prior to other guests arriving. It’s much easier to get nicer photos with food stations left untouched.
The buffet has a variety of Italian food selection with stations offering Italian favourites like antipasti, cheese and charcuterie, bruschettas, pizza and pasta stations, bread station, live cooking and grilling stations, and a dessert bar.
The food that really stood out include the garlic bread, risotto, lasagna, fried calamari, freshly-served pasta, grilled steak, and cheese choices. I also thoroughly enjoyed the cannoli and tiramisu.

The buffet set up in Pergolas adheres to Dubai safety measures on food handling. Stations are covered in glass partitions so guests can request food from the chefs who will provide you a plate filled with your choices. Social distancing is also required so tables are spread apart. This is, after all, the new norm of dining during these times.
Aside from the Italian options, classy Italian music was played in the background which added to the dining experience and lovely mood that evening.
