TOTÓ

– Italian elegance in the heart of the cultural capital of the UAE

Among the elegant facades of Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, where the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and the future Guggenheim are located, there is a real gastronomic pearl – TOTÓ.

This is a restaurant where Italian classics are combined with modern aesthetics, and each dish is like a scene from a Federico Fellini film: emotional, expressive and with character.

Cuisine inspired by Italian heritage

TOTÓ menu is a trip to the regions of Italy. From light antipasti to rich pastes and main dishes, each menu item is created with taste to detail.

Chef Cristiano Bellantoni masterfully recreates dishes such as:

Grilled Scallops (Fried scallops with tomato puree, fondue with anchovies and capers) – 27 €
Roasted Lamb Rack with Pistachio (Grilled lamb) – 44€
Yellowfin Tuna Tartare with Coconut Milk and Lime – 23 €
Gillardeau Oysters No. 2 with Vanilla Mignonette – 6 pcs/43 €
Grilled Stuffed Squid with Prawns, Mediterranean Vegetables & Piquillo Pepper Sauce – 28€
Feta Cheese Salad with Feta Mousse, Confit Tomatoes, Taggiasca Olives & Herbs – 19€

TOTÓ does not look for short ways – only authenticity, only real taste.

Desserts – in separate memory

TOTÓ is where desserts play a major role in the final scene.
Signature Tiramisù – gentle, balanced, with rich coffee and chocolate depth.

Tiramisù – 14€
Pavlova with Mixed Berries – 15€

Desserts here are not just a sweet end to dinner, but a full-fledged act of gastronomic performance.

Wine, cocktails and bar culture

Bar TOTÓ deserves special attention. The wine list includes rare positions from the regions of Italy, from Piedmont to Sicily, as well as a selection of European and New World wines.

Cocktail lovers will be offered classic Negroni, Spritz and author’s mixes on Italian liqueurs created by bartenders of the institution.

For those who do not drink alcohol – refined soft drinks, fresh sorbets and coffee, which is prepared here with the same passion as pasta.

The atmosphere that animates Italian cinema

The TOTÓ design is a tribute to the golden age of Italian cinema. The interior combines velvet, wood, soft light and retro decor, creating comfort in a large space.

This is a place where comfort coexists with aesthetics. Where you can come both in a business shirt and in an evening dress – and feel that you are appropriate here.

This is an ideal choice for a romantic date, and for a business lunch or a special family dinner.

Events that leave a mark

TOTÓ is also known for its themed evenings, wine tastings, jazz concerts and special holiday sets.

The restaurant team is able to work with the mood of the audience, creating events that guests remember for a long time. This is not just a restaurant – it is a social and cultural space where there is always a reason to gather.

TOTÓ is not just a place where people come to eat.
This is the place where they return – for emotions, sounds, aromas and atmosphere, reminding: life is art, and food too.
