What to Avoid (4)

Food 4

  1. Croquettes Net −1
    “I ordered some croquettes at first which I was very disappointed with.”
  2. Penne with grilled shrimp Net −1
    “The pasta, Penne with grilled shrimp, was tasteless.”
  3. Truffle burger Net −1
    “We ordered the truffle burger. Now I usually never do this and always get a bit scared when an Italian restaurant has burgers and fries and doesn't just stick with Italian food. But I tried it. The truffle burger lacked... truffle... I could barely taste any truffle in the burger which then made the burger just a basic cheese burger.”
  4. Tuna tartare with avocado Net −1
    “I decided to have lunch and ordered the tuna tartare with avocado and the spinach ravioli. I hadn’t eaten anything else all day — no breakfast or dinner. About an hour after coming home, I started experiencing stomach pain, followed by vomiting and diarrhea. It was clearly a big mistake to try raw fish at an unfamiliar place🥺😢”

The Bottom Line

Amadio is an Italian restaurant in Jumeirah Village Circle built around traditional dishes, handmade pizza and a host-led dining experience. Pizza is the safest starting point: reviewers repeatedly mention the light dough, including one account that says it is fermented for 72 hours. Bufalina, Diavola, seafood and four-cheese pizzas all receive specific praise.

Pasta, lasagna, risotto and tiramisu are also represented in the reviews. The setting is small indoors but has a larger outdoor area, with a stylish, relaxed look, Italian photographs and, on some visits, live piano or jazz. Fireplace-style table settings and the owner’s habit of greeting guests add to the cosy, conversational character.

Parking was mentioned as available, and delivery has also been tried successfully. For a distinctive finish, order the pistachio coffee, hot or cold; tiramisu is another recurring favourite. Prices are described as reasonable by several reviewers, though one says Amadio costs a little more than an average casual Italian restaurant.

Service is usually described as warm and attentive, but experiences are not uniform. Allow extra time during busy or chef-led service, confirm sides with fish orders, and ask about seating if cigarette smoke is a concern. A few dishes, including truffle pizza and prawn penne, received disappointing feedback.
