Bonci now offers a full Italian dine-in experience at Chef\u2019s Society in City Centre Mirdif, with Gabriele Bonci\u2019s iconic Roman pizza al taglio at the heart of the concept. Brought to the UAE by Culinary Loft Restaurant LLC, Bonci Dubai enhances the experience for local diners with freshly prepared pasta dishes, Italian main courses, breakfast options, starters, salads, and desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dubaimagazine.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7854.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29194\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">At Bonci Dubai, pizza can be enjoyed in two ways. Guests dining at the restaurant can order from a fixed selection of pizzas in specific sizes, freshly prepared to order. For those choosing pizza by the slice or for takeaway, the traditional Roman pizza al taglio experience remains available at the counter, where pizzas are displayed in large rectangular trays. Guests choose their preferred variety and portion before the pizza is cut with scissors, weighed and priced accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:55% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dubaimagazine.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7853.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29196 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The experience may start with the way Bonci serves its pizza, but what sets it apart is what goes into making it. At the heart of it all is the dough. Bonci uses a signature flour mix and a 48-hour fermentation process designed to create a base that is light and airy on the inside, crisp on the outside and deeper in flavour. It is a process where time, technique and ingredients all play their part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:56% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dubaimagazine.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_7855.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29195 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">At the live pizza station, guests can watch the pizzaiolo stretching and working the dough, while a curated display of freshly baked, colourful pizza al taglio trays showcases the different combinations available at the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Gabriele Bonci has become one of the most recognised names in the world of pizza, known for the creativity, craft and philosophy behind his approach. \u201cWe are not pizza. We are philosophy,\u201d says Gabriele Bonci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It is a simple line that captures the thinking behind Bonci. Pizza may be what he is best known for, but behind it is a much deeper approach to food, craftsmanship, agriculture and care. The pizza selection at Bonci Dubai ranges from classic tomato and white based pizzas to varieties featuring eggplant and zucchini, onion, or potato bases. Beyond its signature pizza, Bonci Dubai has been developed as a broader Italian dine-in experience. Guests can choose from freshly prepared pasta dishes and Italian main courses, alongside breakfast, starters, salads and desserts. Menu highlights include Genovese Rag\u00f9 and Potato &amp; Parmigiano pizzas, Truffle Pasta and Mushroom Pasta, alongside Italian mains such as Chicken Cacciatore and Milanese-style cutlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location:<\/strong>&nbsp;Chef\u2019s Society, City Centre Mirdif, Dubai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opening hours:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Daily from 9:00 am to midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>:&nbsp;One of Rome\u2019s most celebrated culinary names has arrived in Dubai.
