There are many Italian restaurants all over Dubai.

The world famous Italian ham can unfortunately not be tasted in Dubai, as it is traditionally made out of pork meat so, it is a big no-no in Dubai.
We keep hearing gossips about the most Italian foods spaghetti and pizza origination from China, but apart from the spaghetti, pizza could have rather originate from the Middle East because of its pastry and the ingredients used for making it.
