ok so its my opinion, and also that of many “old Hats “to the Dubai scene.

The Italian Restaurant “IL Rustico” at the Rydges Hotel Satwa has to be one of Dubai’s best known secrets.

The food is outstanding and still an incredible price, as are the drinks. The service rocks and still has that special personal touch as they also have great staff retention.

I have taken a number of Italian Guests there and it has passed with flying colours.

Dubai has now got so big that there are literally hundreds of restaurant out there. Because it is situated on Satwa roundabout and many people are moving to New Dubai it tends to be forgotten.

Recently another favorite restaurant of mine closed and I have decided to do what I can to help this incredible place stay open.

Especially, as they have guaranteed that when it does pick up I will always have table:) I don’t mind helping but I am not silly.

If you mention my name “the Rebel Networker” or simply “Phil” then you will also get an incredible deal one free main with every main purchased.

Speak to Hifzur the Restaurant Manager he is waiting for you. 04 398 2222 or 050 4238748 www.rydges.com

I also suggest the wood fired Pizzas which are second to none

(Please check for yourself in case the deal ends but I believe it is running until may)
