Sous Chef

Antonia is an Italian Trattoria specializing in Pizza Al Taglio, genuine pastas and traditional main courses with an array of fine yet affordable selection of Italian beverages and Aperitivo based in Abu Dhabi.

Located in the heart of Saadiyat Island, Antonia aims to offer an idyllic experience from the streets of Rome to the Arabian Gulf with a touch of Nonna’s love. Influenced with a combination of three main drivers; Italian authenticity, modern refinement and a touch of Abu Dhabi’s glamour, the interior design boasts laid back retro vibe - steps away from Soul beach.

Hailing from Rome, Antonia al-taglio gourmet pizza slices are baked in rectangular trays, loaded with delicious toppings, displayed on the counter and sold by the square, half-tray or full-tray which allows you to choose from a selection of artisanal pizzas with your favourite combinations. The traditional street food is super versatile and can be eaten whenever and wherever you are, but always and unconditionally with your hands.

The concept, which is driven by Chef and Restaurant Owner, Simone Federici, stems from the tutelage of his grandmother who inspired him to begin his culinary career at the age of 15. Every slice of pizza has been fermented for 72 hours, made with 80% water, rustic Italian flour, olive oil, salt and a proprietary of over 50 year-old sour dough passed through generations.
