IKEA, operated by Al-Futtaim in the UAE, is inviting customers to experience the rich flavours of Italy with a limited-time themed menu, available at all IKEA restaurants across the country from 21 to 27 July. Developed in collaboration with Italian Chef Alessandro Miceli, the menu brings together a selection of classic Italian dishes inspired by traditional recipes and fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Customers can begin their culinary journey with comforting favourites such as Minestrone Soup or Roasted Tomato Soup (AED 9), before choosing from fresh starters including Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad or Roasted Vegetables with Pesto and Parmesan (AED 12). Main courses feature beloved Italian classics including Chicken Parmigiana on Spaghetti, Chicken Piccata with Capers and Lemon, Lasagna Al Forno, Spaghetti with Italian Meatballs, and Spaghetti Bolognese, alongside delectable vegetarian favourites such as Eggplant Parmigiana, Stuffed Italian Eggplant, and Sicilian Caponata, priced from just AED 15 onwards. Guests can also enjoy freshly prepared pasta from the live station for just AED29, offering Classic Spaghetti al Pomodoro, Fusilli al Pesto, and Pasta alla Norma, before indulging in a delicious slice of Tiramisu Cake (AED 15).

As part of the initiative, Chef Alessandro Miceli will host live cooking demonstrations where visitors can explore authentic Italian recipes, learn professional cooking techniques, and discover the inspiration behind the menu. The live sessions will take place between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM on 21 July at IKEA Dubai Festival City, 22 July at IKEA Festival Plaza, and 26 July at IKEA Al Jimi Mall, Al Ain.

With more than 30 years of international culinary experience, Chef Alessandro Miceli is known for bringing traditional Italian recipes and regional flavours to life through simple, high-quality ingredients and a passion for sharing Italy’s rich culinary heritage.

For those staying in the UAE this summer, the limited-time menu offers a chance to discover the flavours of Italy without leaving home, bringing people together over great food and creating moments and stories IKEA is part of.
