“We ordered pasta with prawns and a carbonara, both prepared in a nice Italian/European style. When we first arrived, we were a bit skeptical and did not expect much, but we were positively surprised by the quality of the food and the overall setting. That said, a few details were missing. Fresh Parmesan would have been very important, especially for the pasta.”

Choose seating. Pick the terrace for Marina views, or the indoor area if you prefer air conditioning.
Try dessert. Leave room for the pistachio mascarpone dessert, repeatedly mentioned as a standout finish.
Ask upfront. If you want parmesan, seasoning or olive oil with pasta, ask when ordering rather than waiting for the table setup.
Check smoking. If smoke bothers you, ask about seating before settling in, since a review reports smoking throughout the venue.
Share plates. For a varied meal, consider sharing starters and pasta; reviews specifically enjoyed burrata salad alongside lasagna.

Smoking is allowed, and one reviewer said people were smoking throughout the restaurant without separate seating.
One visit lacked fresh parmesan, salt, fresh pepper and olive oil on the table.
A reviewer found the extra-ordered bread old and not very Italian in style.
Front-of-house invitations to passers-by slightly reduced one reviewer’s sense of authenticity.
The Bottom Line
Ritzi is a polished Italian restaurant on Marina Walk in Dubai Marina, drawing people for dinner, date nights and relaxed meals by the water. You can sit indoors or on the terrace, with reviews highlighting the Marina views, Italian music and a warm, romantic setting. The food is strongest around classic Italian comfort dishes.
Salmon pasta, carbonara, truffle risotto and pizzas all receive specific praise: the salmon pasta was called outstanding, while the carbonara was creamy and came with generous parmesan. The Carmen Geiss pizza, burrata salad and lasagna are other dishes reviewers singled out. Save space for the pistachio mascarpone dessert or panna cotta.
Service is generally attentive without feeling intrusive, and several reviewers appreciated staff recommendations. Wine, Prosecco, cocktails and mocktails are also mentioned positively, including a Passionfruit Martini and Spanish coffee. There are a few practical cautions.
Smoking is allowed, and one guest reported that people were smoking throughout the venue, so ask about seating if that matters to you. Another visit found no salt, pepper, olive oil or fresh parmesan on the table, and described the extra-ordered bread as old. Overall, it suits an atmospheric evening more than a quick, purely functional meal.
