What to Eat at Andiamo! 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 Andiamo!, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Andiamo!, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose pizza. Pizza is the safer first order: reviewers specifically praised the pistachio-cream and buffalo-mozzarella combination.
Skip espresso. If you want a classic Italian espresso, manage expectations; one reviewer found the coffee notably acidic.
Allow time. Avoid tight schedules when dining here: previous guests have waited over 20 minutes for food or the check.
Pick section. If choosing the smoking area, note that it can feel slightly different in temperature from the main dining room.
Visit daytime. A daytime lunch may suit you if you prefer a quieter, lighter atmosphere; one review specifically praised the daytime ambience.

The Bottom Line
Andiamo! is an Italian restaurant in Umm Hurair, inside Grand Hyatt Dubai, where you can order pizza, pasta, burrata and drinks across indoor and outdoor seating. Pizza is the clearest reason to consider it: reviews praise the crisp-soft crust, including a version with pistachio cream and buffalo mozzarella.
Burrata, cannelloni, risotto and tiramisu also receive specific praise. The setting is relaxed and hotel-polished, with a bar, soft Italian music and an outdoor smoking area with shisha. Families have a kids’ menu covering the main dishes, while the spacious layout also suits a business lunch.
Several diners mention welcoming, attentive service, and one review describes the restaurant as clean, tidy and quiet. There are a few practical cautions. Prices can feel high, seafood has been criticised as poor value, and sauces cost extra—one diner reported about AED 20.
Service is not perfectly consistent: reviews mention food delays, a 20-minute wait for the check, and complaints about incorrect buffet charges or dismissive management. Check the bill before paying and allow extra time if your schedule is tight. Coffee may also taste more acidic than a traditional Italian espresso.
