Talea by Antonio Guida is an Italian restaurant serving “Cucina di Famiglia”—traditional family recipes handed down for generations in a warm and vibrant atmosphere.
Each dish is freshly made by our team using only the finest and freshest ingredients. Our signature truffle bruschetta and classic spaghetti carbonara are just two examples of how we integrate Italian staples into modern creative cuisine. To accompany your meal, our wine list features emphasis on Italian wines, and Proseccos from both historic and niche producers. Dining at Talea is a genuine luxury experience which you will savour again and again.
The menu at Talea – celebrating “Cucina di Famiglia”, or family-style cuisine – draws on Guida’s distinctive culinary alchemy and interpretation of classic dishes traditionally known and cherished by households across Italy. Talea’s uncommon excellence was recognised by the bestowal of a Michelin star, establishing the restaurant as one of the finest that the UAE has to offer.
Featuring delectable ravioli, creamy and irresistible burrata, stewed veal shanks in meat sauce known as ossobuco and vitello tonnato, the summer dish of chilled veal in tuna-caper sauce, the gastronomic delights of Talea fuse the traditional techniques of Milanese classics with an innovative edge, presenting a tantalising culinary interpretation that is signature to Guida.
Helmed by Guida’s protégé Luigi Stinga, the proud recipient of the inaugural Michelin Guide Abu Dhabi’s Young Chef Award, Talea features a highly curated selection of seasonal and authentic Italian products, served in an elegant yet casual atmosphere.
