- Sharing-style Italian lunch brings together flavour, family, and friendship.
- Curated menu by Chef Sydney Stranger and Chef Cristiano Bellantoni.
- From golden potato frittata to rustic cakes, it is comfort on a plate.
- Seaside setting makes Sundays the highlight of the week.
There is a new reason to look forward to Sundays in Dubai, and it smells like fresh focaccia. Boardwalk has introduced Nonna’s Table, a weekly lunch experience designed to capture the warmth, generosity, and pure joy of an Italian family gathering. With rustic sharing plates, sunlit creek views, and a breezy seaside atmosphere, this is Sunday done right.
Nonna’s Table is more than a menu, it is a feeling. Inspired by the Italian grandmother who knows that love is best served on a plate, Boardwalk has created a dining ritual that slows down the weekend and savours every bite. The setting leans into this charm, with tables that feel like they could be tucked away in a countryside kitchen, only here they are paired with Dubai Creek’s glimmering water.
The experience begins with comforting starters such as:
- Golden potato frittata
- House-baked focaccia
- Charcuterie board
- Rotating seasonal salad
- Weekly soup selection
The mains are a love letter to Italian cooking, featuring herb-roasted baby chicken with potatoes, braised meat of the day, Roma-style thin crust pizza, and rotating pastas that change with the chef’s inspiration. Dessert seals the deal with indulgent choices like Paradise Cake with dippings or the Rustic Cake, each one reminiscent of Nonna’s kitchen table.
Chef Sydney Stranger, Director of Culinary at Dubai Creek Resort, and Chef Cristiano Bellantoni, Head Chef at Boardwalk, have crafted a menu that balances nostalgia with fresh creativity. Their approach ensures every dish tastes as if it was made just for you, turning Sunday lunch into the highlight of the week.
In a city that thrives on fast-paced living, Nonna’s Table taps into the growing desire for slow, meaningful dining experiences. It is social, unhurried, and designed to make guests linger over conversation and good food. For many, it is not just lunch, it is a weekly reset.
Whether you are catching up with friends, treating family, or just looking to make Sunday feel special, Nonna’s Table promises a feast you will want to return to again and again. Book your seat, bring your appetite, and let Boardwalk serve you the Italian Sunday you did not know you were missing!
