“Genuinely the best Italian place in Dubai! The pizza, the chicken parm, actually basically everything here is perfect and tastes so so good. Also, if you visit you should ask for their special spicy sauce, it’s insane. It’s a cozy place with the most friendly staff ever. Must try!”

“The pasta was a bit hit and miss. The Spicy Rigatoni has a great sauce with a nice kick, but the pasta was overcooked for my taste. The Rigatoni Genovese was recommended by our waiter, but I found it too oily and heavy. I'd probably go for the Bolognese next time instead.”

Try pepperoni. Start with the Spicy Pepperoni pizza; one regular diner called it the must-order, while Sausage & Mushroom was also praised.
Save room. Leave space for dessert, especially the tiramisu, which several reviews describe as a standout rather than an afterthought.
Ask for chilli. If you like mild spice, ask for the chili mix; another diner also recommends the restaurant’s special spicy sauce.
Visit off-peak. For less waiting, consider avoiding busy weekend periods, when one review noted slight service delays.
Check ingredients. If allergies or strict dietary requirements matter, discuss ingredients and contamination precautions with the team before ordering.

Service can drag during busy periods; one diner described it as very slow, while another noted delays on a busy weekend.
Pasta feedback is mixed: the Spicy Rigatoni was overcooked for one diner, while Rigatoni Genovese was considered too oily and heavy.
One review found the pasta too salty, and another found the Spicy Salami pizza a little salty.
The lobster spaghetti was criticised for containing only three to four small pieces of lobster relative to its price.
At least one diner felt the overall pricing was on the higher side, particularly when judging the lobster spaghetti portion.
The Bottom Line
Pizzeria FALCONE is an all-day Neapolitan pizzeria in Al Barsha, inside Galleria Mall, with a menu that goes beyond pizza. Reviewers repeatedly mention the Spicy Pepperoni, Margherita and mushroom pizzas, while pasta choices include Fusilli Alla Vodka, Bolognese and lobster spaghetti. The dough and crust are the consistent stars: one diner described a crust crispy outside and soft inside, while another said the pizza felt light even after eating generously.
It is also a strong dinner setting. Stylish Italian decor, warm lighting, comfortable spacing and soft music come up often, and several families found it welcoming for children. The kids’ set, penne pomodoro and attentive handling of a child’s allergy were specifically appreciated.
Service is usually described as friendly and professional, though a busy weekend brought delays and one reviewer called service very slow. Save room for dessert. Tiramisu is repeatedly called a standout, with gelato—especially pistachio or hazelnut—another popular finish; coffee also earns praise.
Pricing can feel high: one review recorded a Monday 50AED Pizza deal, while another described the overall price as on the higher side and a lobster spaghetti portion as only three to four small lobster pieces. If you want a calmer meal, off-peak timing is worth considering.
