Bussola

Bussola brings several Italian dining styles together at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina in Dubai Marina. The venue combines a formal restaurant, an upper-deck pizzeria and a lounge, creating different settings for a full meal, a casual pizza visit or drinks before dinner. Its Italian character is paired with coastal influences and a menu shaped around seasonal ingredients.

The lower restaurant focuses on Italian cooking with homemade pasta, seafood and contemporary coastal dishes. Traditional Italian techniques sit alongside modern presentation, while the drinks list includes Italian wines, aperitivos and signature cocktails. The menu also features Italian desserts, including homemade tiramisu, giving the restaurant a classic finish for lunch or dinner.

The upper-deck pizzeria offers a more relaxed format within the Bussola concept. Pizza provides an accessible choice for informal meals, while the main restaurant suits diners looking for a longer Italian dining experience. The lounge provides a separate place for pre-dinner drinks and sunset moments, with a drinks-led atmosphere that extends into the evening.

Bussola also hosts Italian-style brunches built around shared food, family-style service and a social table setting. These occasions suit groups and families, with menus that draw on the traditions of different Italian regions. The wider dining style makes the venue suitable for business lunches, relaxed dinners, celebrations and gatherings where sharing dishes is part of the experience.

For diners travelling from Abu Dhabi, Bussola offers a Dubai Marina setting within a large beachfront resort, with the choice of restaurant, pizzeria and lounge formats in one venue. The overall atmosphere moves from polished dining in the main restaurant to a more laid-back feel upstairs and in the lounge. Italian food, seafood, pizza, wine and aperitivo culture remain central across the experience.
