TOTÓ and La Camera! bring a touch of cinematic glamour to Downtown Dubai
There’s a new star on the Dubai dining scene, and it’s dressed head to toe in old-school Italian glamour.
PR powerhouse JCRADS & PARTNERS has officially been appointed as the public relations partner for two standout venues that are already stirring up excitement in Downtown Dubai: TOTÓ Dubai and its sultry upstairs sister, La Camera! By TOTÓ.
This exciting collaboration marks the union of culinary artistry, nostalgic charm, and unforgettable entertainment under the guidance of one of the region’s most respected hospitality comms teams.
TOTÓ Dubai: A love letter to Italian cinema
Step into TOTÓ Dubai, and you’re instantly transported into the golden era of Italian cinema.
Think Fellini-style flair, moody lighting, dark wood finishes, and vintage black-and-white film stills gracing the walls. It’s intimate, elegant, and effortlessly cinematic.
But don’t let the décor steal all the spotlight; the menu is the real showstopper. At the helm is Chef Angelo Santi, who brings over 25 years of experience to the table (literally). The dishes are rooted in Italian tradition with a refined, modern edge.
Must-tries include:
Ravioli di Brasato – slow-braised beef pillows finished in parmesan cream
Risotto Carabineros – rich and zesty with Amalfi lemon and coral sauce
Linguine all’Astice – decadently served with whole Canadian lobster in a bisque-style broth
Oh, and the wood-fired pizzas? Crafted by Vincenzo Palermo, a World Pizza Champion. The Tartufo, laced with aromatic truffle, is already earning cult status.

A dash of theatre
Dining at TOTÓ is a performance. Tableside touches and live music bring a sense of theatre to the experience, while the carefully curated wine list takes you on a journey across Italy and beyond.
The venue also plans to launch exclusive wine dinners and collaborative culinary events throughout the season, cementing its status as a true destination for fine Italian dining.
La Camera! By TOTÓ: Where the night begins (and never really ends)
Head upstairs, and you’ll find yourself in La Camera!, an after-dark hideaway where velvet textures, low lights, and seductive music come together in perfect harmony.
La Camera! is a throwback to 1960s Italian nightlife; glamorous, sultry, and buzzing with energy.
It features a rotating line-up of live singers, a house band, and immersive experiences that will debut later this year.
From soulful serenades to upbeat funk, nights often flow effortlessly into the early hours with guests dancing their way through the night.
One night, two experiences
Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner that feels like a scene from a movie or a night of cocktails and live performances in a plush, late-night lounge, TOTÓ and La Camera!
By TOTÓ deliver a seamless, sensory-rich experience. It’s elegance, energy, and indulgence, all under one roof.
