The Italian restaurant in Dubai Marina offers a children’s activity den, daily workshops and a sprawling rooftop terrace.
The UAE’s leading sustainable restaurant group, Tigrus Holding, has brought its family-friendly, zero-waste dining approach to Dubai Marina with the launch of Osteria Mario.
The charming Italian eatery draws inspiration from Abruzo – the greenest region in southern Italy – offering a menu that showcases the authentic flavours of regional Italian cuisine.

Nestled in a desirable location adjacent to Dubai Marina Mall, Osteria Mario presents a vibrant and spacious setting that beckons visitors straight from the marina plaza. It is an ideal destination for leisurely weekend breakfasts, delightful lunchtime gatherings, and heartwarming family dinners.
Osteria Mario’s menu offers must-try dishes, including Italian salami Picante, freshly baked bresaola, and baked bell peppers adorned with Stracciatella cheese, romesco sauce, and ginger oil.
The establishment boasts a children’s activity hub on the rooftop, crafted using eco-friendly materials, and a large terrace boasting striking views of Dubai Marina. Within the eduplaytional hub, children can indulge in daily workshops, cooking classes, and nature-based activities. During breaks between workshops, kids can relish a variety of Italian and international dishes, including mini pizzas, chicken meatballs, fishcakes, and homemade nuggets.

Henrik Winther, Founder of Tigrus Holding, says about the expansion, “We’re delighted to have partnered with Vsevolod Roketlishvili who we have worked closely with for many years, to expand our portfolio and launch a second branch of Osteria Mario in the UAE. Tigrus Holding is the first restaurant company in Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia to fully compensate for its carbon footprint, and we’re thrilled to be sharing our sustainable dining approach with the residents of Dubai Marina and to welcome them. Our rooftop kid’s activity den has an array of activities to keep little ones busy while parents enjoy a relaxing and affordable dining experience.”
Osteria Maria Marina opens on Monday, 5 June 2023.
