The Bottom Line

Brunello is an Italian restaurant in Palm Jumeirah within the Kempinski, aimed at diners who want polished food in a calm resort setting. Reviews make the terrace the main draw: tables look towards gardens, fountains, the pool or the Gulf, while the indoor room is described as cosy, elegant and inspired by an Italian palazzo. The menu has plenty of specific crowd-pleasers.

Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, burrata, beef carpaccio, seafood linguine and seabass all receive strong mentions. Seafood is especially well represented, with one diner praising perfectly cooked lobster and another recommending seafood linguine. Tiramisu is a recurring dessert favourite, while the cannoli, gelato and chocolate mousse also get positive mentions.

Service is consistently described as attentive and professional, and staff have helped guests choose dishes and wine pairings. The atmosphere can stay quiet and relaxed, although some visits feature a live singer. It works for a romantic dinner, a family meal or a special occasion, with generous portions noted in one detailed review.

If outdoor seating matters, request the terrace when booking; if you prefer a quieter meal, one review suggests the restaurant can be lightly occupied outside peak periods. No customer review supplied a clear price for a named dish or service.
