I dined here before a couple of years back. Didn’t like the food it was below average. But I gave it another chance while I was passing by. Service was good, food still was below mediocre. It had not improved at all. I ordered lobster pasta. There was little to no seasoning and smelled very fishy.

The appetizer was awkward. Main corse, Cid fish sauce could be more tick and it was completely without salt. Or steak was quite ok. And the desert was ok. 2 of the wines that we choose in the wine lay want available. For the price the quality of food should be better

Went there base on reviews.had high expectations! Food is absolutely average nothing outstanding, ravioli was hard and I beliave not properly cooked, eggplant overwhelmed with tomato sauce, salad is completely plain! Pizza is an ordinary pizza that would have at any Italian restaurant, pata for kids were desater, plain spaghetti with a bit of sauce on it, kids did even fish quarter of it, definitely last visit! Ordered lava cake as it was birthday, they brought totally different cake commenting that they never got any request for lava cake! So eat whatever is available! I'm surprised off all 5 start reviews people are rating!

Absolutely do not recommend. It is a pretentious place, very stiff and formal. It is so stiff that you feel awkward. What I look for in a restaurant is a homely atmosphere and friendly attitude of staff, not a pompous snobbish attitude with no genuineness in it. The English looking server asks me in a cocky accent after we were seated, ' you won't be having any wine, would you? ' Why? Do you make assumptions that people of certain ethnicities do not have wine? The order for limoncello was taken wrong by Hussam. We had to have our bill adjusted after some discussion. The food was mediocre and expensive. Except for a Mexican/Hispanic lady who got us the food, everyone else had a pretentious attitude. This is a classic example of place that has invested in decor and pompousness but not in making guests feel comfortable. Service was not attentive. The manager spent disproportionate amount of time attending to another table while no attention was given to our table. Value for money was poor. They only accept Marriott Bonvoy for discounts - they do not accept Fazaa or other discount offers.

I came to the Restaurant with my sister, We asked the Manager DOMINIGO to sit between two seats (in the middle) by the window side, he told us this seat is reserved and that we couldn't sit there. A couple of mins later two individuals came into the Restaurant without any reservation and he asked them which seat would you like to sit in and seated them in the table we asked to sit in. That was very UNFAIR, UNWELCOMING and RACIST. I felt that he treated me that way because I'm an Emirati Arab. The food also wasn't that good. Me and my sister felt very unwelcomed in the Restaurant and will not go there again.

مطعم هادئ يعتبر مطعم خمسة نجوم له مدخلين الأول عن طريق فندق St. Regis او عن طريق Nation Towers. المطعم صغير يفضل الحجز قبل الذهاب للمطعم. قائمة الطعام صغيرة لا يوجد اختيارات كثيرة.

The food is so delicious. The service is so gorgeous. If you have any occasion, don’t hesitate to try this restaurant. The waiter, Redouane, is so intelligent and professional.
28 June 2023 11:48
Food was delicious! High quality ingredients that you can feel in every dish you taste. Pizza, pasta, burrata, all just really delicious. Waiter Danilo was very kind, polite and patient. I highly recommend it.

Amazing experience from the 1st minute! Food, service and ambience! Many thanks to Danilo, Hossam and the whole team! Will be back!

Was excited to try the place, the vibe is very nice, but the food was disappointing, The flavors lacked in all of the dishes ive tried, and the meat was tasteless.

Italian cuisine restaurant known specially for their sea food.
As a vegetarian, I had limited options but the food tasted good.

Bit late in reviewing our amazing experience at Villa Toscana at St Regis Hotel, Corniche, in Abu Dhabi. During the Christmas celebrations my wife and I visited this lovely Italian restaurant on Christmas Day and returned again on New Years Eve.

I contacted the Manager, Domenico, in advance, as we are both vegans and they went out of their way to prepare an amazing set vegan menu for both occasions.

Domenico emailed us in advance to review the menu which made us feel very special.

We were overjoyed with our Christmas Day experience so had no hesitation in booking for New Years Eve.

We were very well attended to by Domenico and his team and cannot thank them enough for making our first Christmas and New Year in Abu Dhabi so memorable. Highly recommended, not just for vegans!

Even in Abu Dhabi, if you want to dine as if you were in Italy there is the right place. Villa Toscana located at St, Regis nation tower on the Corniche.on the first floor you will find yourself immersed in a refined environment that will make you feel at home, both for the place and for the courtesy and kindness with which you will be received.the food is of excellent quality with an articulated menu that allows you to easily return without getting bored.inside or out on the terrace you will have a pleasant evening and, most importantly, the next day you will not regret your choice….

Fantastic food. Portions are really big - be aware of that. We have ordered mix of fried seafood from the starters menu and it could have been a main course. Also boiled prawns from the starter - there were abou 20 lol! It was all very delicious though and will come back again.

I absolutely love this restaurant. Every time I go with my husband and family we feel at home and super well taken care of. The staff is warm, the portions are generous and the food is delicious. Highly recommend it to everyone ️

Amazing italian. Wait-staff attentive, charming and helpful. Been several times and always amazed. Cant wait to visit again
29 May 2021 22:33
Great Italian restaurant! Chef makes Italian dishes just right. Loved every course. Make sure you don't get overloaded with tasty starters, dips and salads as the main meal is quite big. Recommended!
07 May 2021 10:23
Beautiful location and nice atmosphere.
I am not difficult when it becomes to food but the food that we ordered was really tasteless and doesn’t worth the money that we payed. For the same amount of money we can eat the best restaurant in Abu Dhabi. I left upset from the restaurant because the quality of food was really bad. The salad was average nothing special about it. The aubergine was well cooked but very strong tomato sauce. The Risotto was tasteless. The meat was the same. I don’t recommend this place and will never come back

There’s nothing more romantic than Italian food!
Authentic Italian restaurant, Charming, beautiful decor, great atmosphere and the wall paints make you feel that you are in Italy.
Outdoor sitting is outstanding with a nice sea view.friendly, welcoming staff and knowledgeable.
Mouthwatering food, portions are big, great selection of Italian wines, Penne 4 cheese is my favorite!
Overall a great experience and we will definitely come back!
12 April 2021 13:33
My experience here was amazing. I really enjoyed every bit of it. The place is neat and clean. It was oozing with class. I really enjoyed having lunch on the terrace with a partial view of the sea.
The food tasted amazing. We enjoyed every last bit of it. Some dishes could be elevated more, but the overall food experience was very good.
I would definitely come back.

My wife visited this place with her friends on the International Women's Day and it was full of surprises! They were gifted roses by the staff. The cherry on top was a never ending chef's special complimentary dishes, starters and soup which all came as a surprise! The complimentary stuff was more than their actual order! The moment they were about to order dessert, the staff served each of the lady with a platter of lemon flavor dessert which again was complimentary! Wonderful experience in terms of food, staff, ambience and hospitality.

My spouse and i loved this neat and cozy place. Whenever we had a chance to invite friends for lunch or dinner we always choose this fabulous place. The food here is great. And the staff are outstanding, especially Salman and Manish. Salman and Manish who served us last week was so attentive and good with our young guest. The Chief also offered us free sweets and all the stuff were friendly with kids. We really loved this place!

Very expensive place but very yummy. They had quite a few vegan options and their attendance to us was great! Their bread was good, as their vegetable fritters. Everything came out really good

We We visited the restaurant for my friend promotion celebration.
We were attended to by Mr Michael, who made the evening all the more pleasant with his excellent service. On the food side, an on house starters have been served, it was an amazing and testy. We also enjoyed the sea food risotto and the baby chicken. For dessert, although we did not order anything since we were already full, we were served with complimentary desserts (molten chocolate cake) which were all magnificent. We would love to visit again and be served by Mr Michael for his outstanding service.

Was celebrating my Birthday on 26th Dec and we had a wonderful experience at Villa Toscana! Staff were able to move us to outdoor table to enjoy the beautiful view during the dinner and staff Leena and Manish was very attentive and friendly.
We ordered Milk fed veal chop Milanese style and Rib eye steak, the meat was wonderfully done. We end our dinner by the Classic Tiramisu and they offer us Magnum di Tiramisu as a surprise for my birthday. We will definitely come back again to this lovely restaurant.
28 February 2020 23:17
This is second time i visited, it so beautiful place and it is like you in Italy and so amazing service, we serviced by Michael and we had free juices, and a dish.
The burrata salad, the cheese was so fresh and from me it is recommended.

It is not cheap but it deserve to try it is all fresh food, and better to make reservation.

مطعم جميل جداً في تصميمه وتحس انك في مطعم موجود في ايطاليا من تصميمه وبيئته، الخدمة ممتازة جداً والاكل لذيذ. وهذي كانت زياره ثانيه لي.

بعد الطلب يقدمون خبر فريش ومازات بارده، والاكل لذيذ ما شاء الله.
جربوا سلطة البوراتا الجبن فيها فريش ولذيذ
وعندهم كستارتر طبق باذنجان مع طماط وجبن لذيذ جدا مع الخبز الفريش واصلا هذا لوحده يشبع (موجوده بالصور الي رفعتها)
والباستا عندهم شي ثاني

Always great service. Beautiful dining room and bar. Served a complimentary appetizer before the mains. The pasta here is the best thing, made fresh. Some of the other items were okish. Will return.
13 February 2020 16:14
Villa Toscana has great service and the ambience was nice, the music helped with giving an italian feeling to the whole place. When it comes to the food it was very simplistic and the set menu that was provided was relatively ok. I would've loved to see pasta instead of pizza being served in the set menu. The parmigiano eggplant and the mushroom truffle rissoto were amazing but the rest of the food had no unique taste to it.
04 February 2020 22:46
Amazing villa which I was attended an event. Staffs were very friendly. Was good food and good service
18 January 2020 1:51
Villa Toscana was absolutely a delightful restaurant! The servers were over the top!

Domenico is a fantastic server. He was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. His attention to detail and great personality were over the top!

Maicol and Zeljana Despotovic were equally delightful, full of knowledge and absolutely some of the best employees at Villa Toscana! I would definitely love to go back on my next visit to the UAE.

Domenico, Maicol, Zeljana and your Magnificent Chef; thank you for creating priceless memories for me and my family!
