A family-friendly Italian restaurant in Abu Dhabi, inside a park
September 2, 2026 · 4 min read

Families in Abu Dhabi usually want three things from a restaurant: food that adults and children both eat, somewhere the children can move, and a location that does not involve a mall car park. Ventuno on Al Reem Island covers all three.
Why families choose Ventuno
- It is inside Reem Central Park, so children can play in the park before or after the meal.
- The menu is built around food children already like: margherita pizza, simple pasta with tomato sauce, pancakes and desserts.
- It is open from 8 AM, so it works for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Family-size pizzas make it simple to feed a table without ordering six individual pies.
What is on the menu
Ventuno bakes Neapolitan pizza from 48-hour fermented dough in a 450 C oven, and rolls its pasta by hand every morning. Breakfast runs from 8 AM with eggs, pastries, shakshuka and pancakes. Salads and Italian desserts round out the menu.
Tips for visiting with children
- Book ahead for weekend evenings; the room fills by 7 PM.
- Early dinners (5-6:30 PM) are quieter.
- Ask for a table facing the park so children stay in view.
