La Vigna | Italian Taste at Century Village
One of prettiest Italian restaurants in D-town, La Vigna welcomes you with a warm rustic ambience that lines up right with this chilly season. The interiors resemble an authentic Italian home and the stone-brick walls add to the wintery feel!
With cozy seating options, this one’s certainly a date night worthy spot. And wait till you see how lovely their food and drinks are >
Bread Basket
I have tried a lot of bread baskets in town, and honestly very few are worthy of a mention. The hot garlicky bread and warm, freshly baked olive bread in this were the winners for me. I wouldn’t have said no to an extra basket after these.
Cocktails
Frozen or blended, how do you prefer your cocktails? We opted for the frozen daiquiri and blended margarita – both lemon based, and despite the cold weather outside, they went just right with our hot Italian meal. Both these drinks are also available in strawberry flavors.
Zuppa Di Pollo E Fungi
This one brought an instant smile to my face. I love the combination of chicken & mushrooms, so this was my must have. Warm, creamy and so soothing, the soup is perfect for any weather. In fact, I can have it all day everyday! The black pepper adds a nice kick to the flavor.
Bruschetta
There are 2 types of Bruschetta: one that’s sparsely topped and the other that’s generously loaded. This one was the latter. I really liked the addition of mushrooms, olives, tomatoes and mozzarella. Make sure you share it or else you’ll be full before you get to the mains.
Penna A La Vigna
Say truffle and I’m sold. This house favorite came with a creamy truffly cheese base along with broccoli, cherry tomatoes and porcini mushrooms. Although this pasta is usually served without any meat, we requested for some shrimps to be added to the mix, and it was absolutely fab!
Pizza Diavola
We knew we couldn’t eat both pasta & pizza, but we really had to try their creation from the wood fired oven, so we opted for the bestselling Diavola. Spicy and slim, this thin crust pizza featured rich beef salami and spicy red chili with generous amounts of mozzarella and tomato sauce.
This is what a wood fired oven looks like. The rustic flavor it adds to the pizza is nothing like what a normal oven would.
Tiramisu
My taste buds are having a tough time deciding on the best Tiramisu in Dubai because the competition keeps getting hotter (or sweeter?!) This La Vigna version, with its creamy mascarpone, coffee soaked lady fingers and soft sponge cake is definitely a contender, and a must have.

With such a gorgeous ambiance, this date-night worthy place will definitely want you going back for more. I loved the mushroom soup and the bruschetta. The pasta was quite good too. And don’t miss their wood-fired pizza and tiramisu. You’ll love everything about La Vigna.
