What to Eat at Amici Miei Dubai Creek Harbour How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Amici Miei Dubai Creek Harbour, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Negroni Net −1
“The starters where good, the main dish pasta was okay. My wife's Pizza was authentic italian style. The prices are rather high, especially for alcohol (with missing incredients in the drinks). A "Negroni" a "Sangria" and two glasses of poor quality red wine for the equivalent of 60 euros is very expensive. So: enjoy the food, avoid the alcohol. 😉”

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose bruschetta. For a starter, consider the normal bruschette romana tostata rather than the mixed platter; one reviewer rated it the better choice.
Book balcony. If you want the balcony with the DJ, reserve it ahead; walk-ins may still find a table elsewhere.
Check promotions. If you book an offer package, confirm the discount on the bill before paying, as one diner said a promised 25% reduction was missed.
Bring your dog. Pet owners can bring their dog, with reviews specifically confirming that both indoor and outdoor seating are pet friendly.
Try themed nights. Tuesday Pizza Night and Wednesday Formaggi e Vino were both described as enjoyable options for a themed evening.
Use valet. Arriving by car is easier with the Vida Hotel valet, which one visitor specifically highlighted.

Common Concerns
Slow service
One quiet-evening visit involved a 20–25-minute wait for menus and another 25 minutes for drinks, suggesting service can be inconsistent.
Bill errors
A promised 25% food discount was not applied on one visit, so promotional offers are worth checking before payment.
Alcohol pricing
One reviewer found the alcohol expensive, citing a Negroni, Sangria and two glasses of red wine costing the equivalent of 60 euros.
Food consistency
A few dishes were reported as needing correction, including room-temperature eggplant parmesan and overly salty seafood pasta sauce.
Toilet upkeep
One diner said the toilet was not properly maintained.

The Bottom Line
Amici Miei is an Italian restaurant in Dubai Creek Harbour where the main draw is a combination of pizza, pasta and a relaxed waterfront setting. Reviews specifically mention burrata pizza, mushroom truffle risotto, truffle pasta and tiramisu, so there is plenty to choose from beyond a standard pizza-and-pasta stop. The pizzas are often described as thin and crisp, with fresh toppings, while the truffle dishes receive especially strong feedback.
Portions can be generous, including the three-course set menu. Breakfast is another option, with one review praising the buffet spread and winter-friendly outdoor seating. The room is generally described as warm, cozy or elegant, with views towards the marina, creek or Downtown Dubai.
It is also pet friendly inside and outside, and the Vida Hotel valet is useful if you are driving. Tuesday Pizza Night and Wednesday Formaggi e Vino add specific occasions to plan around; book ahead if you want the balcony with the DJ. Service is not completely consistent.
Many diners found staff attentive, but others waited 20–25 minutes for menus or 25 minutes for drinks. Check promotional discounts on the bill, and note that alcohol has been called expensive. A few food and maintenance issues were also reported, including a room-temperature dish, salty seafood pasta sauce and a poorly maintained toilet.
