A Gluten Free Menu Built on Italian Cooking

Eating out with coeliac disease usually means reading the menu twice and settling for the one grilled dish. We wanted something better for you. Mamabella is a gluten free restaurant in Dubai where the gluten free list runs across antipasti, pasta, pizza and dolci.

Italian cooking starts with simple things. We work with fresh produce, good flour and slow hands. That makes it easier to build a gluten free menu that still tastes like Italy.

Handmade Every Morning

Our chefs roll the pasta and mix the dough each day. Nothing arrives frozen from a supplier.

A Full Menu to Choose From

You order what you actually want. Pizza, pasta and dessert all sit on the gluten free list.

A Careful Kitchen

We keep separate prep areas, boards, water and tools for every gluten free order.

Our Gluten Free Menu, From Antipasti to Dolci

Here are a few plates our guests keep coming back for. Your server will walk you through the full gluten free selection when you sit down.
  • Ravioli. Our chefs roll and fill these by hand every morning. You can choose ricotta and spinach or slow braised beef.
  • Veal Milanese. We pound the veal thin and coat it in our own crumb. It fries until the edges crackle and arrives with lemon and rocket.
  • Fried rice croquettes. These are crisp on the outside with warm mozzarella at the centre. Many coeliac guests have not tasted this classic Italian bite in years.
  • Tiramisu. We layer mascarpone and espresso with savoiardi baked in our own kitchen. Dessert stops being the course you skip.

Gluten Free Pizza in Dubai

Gluten free pizza in Dubai has a poor reputation, and most of it is earned. The bases turn out thin and dry, and the crust cracks under its own cheese.

Ours gets the same patience as every other dough. We mix it in house and let it rest until it develops character. Our chef stretches it by hand and bakes it until the rim blisters and the centre stays soft. San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella go on top, chosen for quality rather than quantity.

Keep it simple with a margherita or go with burrata and cherry tomatoes. Either way it arrives looking like the pizza everyone else at your table is having.

Gluten Free Pasta Made Fresh Each Morning

Dried gluten free pasta is easy to buy. Fresh gluten free pasta takes real work, and few kitchens bother with it.

At Mamabella, handmade pasta is how our day begins. The chefs mix the dough each morning and cut it through service. That means the gluten free pasta in Dubai you order at dinner was shaped only a few hours earlier. You will find tagliatelle, tagliolini and ravioli on the list.

The sauces get the same care. We thicken our ragù by slow simmering rather than flour, and the béchamel starts from a rice flour base. Nothing tastes like a substitute.

How We Keep Gluten Away From Your Plate

A gluten free menu means little when the kitchen behind it works carelessly. Around 1 in 100 people live with coeliac disease, and even a trace of flour can make them ill. So the handling matters as much as the recipe.
  • We prepare gluten free dough in its own area, with boards, tools and surfaces kept apart.
  • We boil the pasta in separate water, lift it with separate tongs and drain it in separate colanders.
  • We stretch, bake and cut gluten free pizza using equipment reserved for those orders.
  • Our suppliers confirm every ingredient in writing, and we check again whenever a product changes.
  • Our team is trained on coeliac safety, so the person taking your order already understands the question.
Mention your diet when you reserve and the kitchen will flag your table before you arrive. Then the evening belongs to you.
