This branch of New York’s famed Italian American restaurant is found on the edge of Al Maha Island. A fun spot, it has all the iconic dishes from the original, including their signature spicy rigatoni, which is certainly worth coming for. Other must-haves include steaks, lamb chops and the desserts presented on a trolley; the cheery and attentive team are also all ready to recommend their own favourites. It’s a brasserie-style interior with a stage set up for a crooner to sing classic songs if you’re lucky; we suggest taking a seat on the terrace for fantastic views of the city.
