What to Eat at Bolle Restaurant & Bar Dubai | by Miracolo 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 Bolle Restaurant & Bar Dubai | by Miracolo, 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow Navigation. The restaurant can be easy to miss, so allow extra time to find this tucked-away Zabeel venue.
Order Lightly. Start with fewer starters or share them: one reviewer found the portions abundant after ordering mains as well.
Check Bill. Confirm drink prices before paying, especially for the Blue Ocean, which one guest said rose from 55aed on the menu to 100aed on the bill.
Try Tiramisu. Leave room for the table-side tiramisu; it is one of the restaurant’s most distinctive dessert experiences.
Dine In. For pizza, dining in appears safer than delivery: one delivery order arrived wet, oily and falling apart.
Choose Your Mood. Visit during a busier period if you want more atmosphere; one reviewer found the restaurant awkwardly quiet.

Common Concerns
Delivery Quality
One delivery review reported a wet, oily pizza with toppings sliding off, so takeaway quality may be less reliable than dining in.
Chewy Base
A diner found the veggie pizza base too chewy, making it difficult to eat.
Uneven Seasoning
The truffle pasta was considered good but needed more seasoning and cheese.
Billing Discrepancy
One guest reported the Blue Ocean appearing as 55aed on the menu but being charged at 100aed on the bill.
Quiet Atmosphere
On one visit the restaurant was so quiet that the atmosphere felt awkward, though this may suit diners seeking calm.

The Bottom Line
Bolle is a cozy Italian restaurant and bar in Zabeel with an intimate, polished feel. It suits a date, relaxed dinner or aperitivo, especially if you like Italian music and a setting that feels smaller and more personal than a grand dining room. Reviews consistently praise the attentive service and welcoming staff.
Food highlights include the pizza, homemade pastas, burrata and table-side tiramisu. The pizza receives especially specific praise for its dough, crust and quality ingredients, while the truffle pizza and Tortino Cioccolato are useful first-visit choices. Cocktails are another strength, with the Bellini and margarita mentioned favourably.
Portions can be generous, so consider sharing starters or ordering fewer dishes than usual. Vegetarian diners also have plenty of Italian options. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, including a small terrace, although one visit found it unusually quiet and slightly awkward.
There are a couple of cautions. A delivery order produced wet, oily pizza, making dine-in the safer choice for pizza. Also check the bill carefully: one guest reported the Blue Ocean listed at 55aed on the menu but charged at 100aed.
The venue is tucked away, so allow time to find it.
