Your Amalfi escape is back under the pergola
23rd October 2026
The terrace is open again. Lemon-inspired décor sets the scene. October calls for a little Italy at Cinque Trattoria.
Dubai is finding its way back outdoors, and dinner plans are looking better for it. As October brings easing temperatures and the return of terrace season, Cinque Trattoria at FIVE Jumeirah Village welcomes you back to its open-air pergola. Step into the lemon-inspired setting, settle into your seat and let homemade Italian favourites take you somewhere along the Amalfi Coast. Your Italian escape starts right here in JVC.
A table with Amalfi charm
There is something about the pergola that makes you want to order another course. Lemon-inspired décor, greenery and warm lights give the terrace its southern Italian charm, with an open-air setting made for evenings that deserve a little more time. Bring a date, gather the family or finally book that dinner with friends. The setting makes an ordinary plan feel like an occasion.
This is the part of the year Dubai has been waiting for: warm days giving way to more inviting evenings, outdoor tables back in demand and every reason to linger over dinner. At Cinque Trattoria, the city feels a little further away once the glasses arrive. All the pleasure of an Italian holiday, close enough to make it your regular.
Homemade favourites worth coming hungry for
Presented by the team behind Gault&Millau-recognised Cinque, Cinque Trattoria brings the comfort and generosity of Italian cooking to the table. Start with creamy burrata, share a pizza and make room for pasta. It is the kind of menu that rewards arriving hungry and bringing people who are happy to share.
Traditional flavours do the talking, from a rich ragù to the simple pleasure of a well-made pizza. Order the dish you have been craving, try a bite of someone else’s and keep dessert firmly in the plan. Beneath the pergola, even the familiar favourites feel like part of a getaway.
Wednesdays have a beautiful Italian habit
Give the midweek catch-up a table under the lights. Every Wednesday, Salute Bella Ladies Night brings Italian dishes, drinks and music together in the pergola setting. Gather your girls for an evening of full plates, easy conversation and a very good reason to leave the usual Wednesday routine behind.
From 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM, ladies enjoy three signature dishes and three drinks for AED 175. Gents can join for AED 250, including three signature dishes and three drinks. With creamy burrata, golden arancini and Italian tunes setting the mood, this is a midweek plan with plenty to look forward to.
The appeal is in how naturally the evening comes together. Dinner and drinks are already taken care of; all you need to do is choose the company. Make it a standing date with your friends or an excuse to bring everyone back around the same table. October evenings were made for plans like this.
Your neighbourhood escape comes with 30 percent off
Living in JVC makes an Italian escape even easier. Residents enjoy 30% off the à la carte menu at Cinque Trattoria from Monday to Thursday, giving you another reason to book beneath the pergola this October. A spontaneous dinner, a family catch-up or a long-overdue date night can all feel like a little holiday close to home.
Make October taste a little more Italian
The pergola is open, the Amalfi-inspired setting is ready and your next favourite evening in JVC is waiting to be booked. Come for homemade Italian food, stay for the terrace and let Cinque Trattoria put a little Amalfi into your October.
