Funkcoolio

Dinner tonight was at Osteria Funkcoolio, an Italian restaurant with a subtle Japanese twist. Located in Port De La Mer, the restaurant’s interior is elegant and their menu features a good selection of appetizers, mains and desserts. We enjoyed everything that we tried, the taste, the flavor and the presentation of each and every dish was amazing.

Not recommended at all! You get confuse as it says italian restaurant in google but actually they say it’s Italian Japanese restaurant. Basically you see sushi on the menu to say it’s Japanese and then you see pizza and pasta to say it’s Italian. But to be honest, with what we ordered, i was not satisfied at all! Starting off with seaweed salad, it was good but the portion is tiny! Next the pizza, I liked it but nothing special. The seafood pasta? We didn’t eat at all! Said it is the best seller, not impressed at all! Too salty, no flavor just salt and seafood is only a fishy clam! I have seen the reviews and found the same sentiment with others. Will not come back and will not recommend this place. The only thing that made me give 5 star service were the staff who were extremely nice. To make it up with the negative feedback, they let us try the pistachio gelato and it was the only best thing we had. Unfortunately, Bad location with no parking.

A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at Osteria Funkcoolio Dining at Osteria Funkcoolio is nothing short of extraordinary.

The ambiance is equally noteworthy—elegant yet cozy, with a romantic touch that makes it ideal for special occasions or a relaxed evening out. While the overall experience is outstanding, it’s worth noting that there was an isolated concern regarding a slight odor in the space, which was attributed to humidity affecting the wooden interiors. However, this minor issue did little to detract from the overall excellence of the visit.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a top-tier dining experience. Without a doubt, a place worth returning to again and again.

today I had unlimited pizza offer,the pizzas were fresh and delicious. Also tried the spicy salmon sushi, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Friendly atmosphere and quick service.

As an Italian working in marketing, I noticed that the brand strongly emphasizes Italian authenticity, which doesn’t fully reflect the actual experience. The menu offers a wide variety of options and feels a bit confusing. While the idea of combining Italian and Japanese cuisine is interesting, there isn’t a clear fusion concept, rather, it’s a mix of starters, sushi, pasta, and pizza. We shared the appetizer platter, and the tempura eggplant was definitely the highlight of the evening. When ordering pasta, I was surprised to see egg-based options like fettuccine and tajarin. When I asked the waiter about it, they were unsure and answered without checking. This is a serious point to improve, not only for allergen awareness but also because staff should confidently know and communicate what they are serving. The pasta itself was decent, nothing exceptional, but not bad. On the positive side, the staff was very kind and welcoming, and the space was clean, cozy, and nicely styled with a retro feel. The concept has real potential, but in a highly competitive market like Dubai, there is room to elevate both food quality and the storytelling behind the brand.

The seafood dishes we ordered was not fresh at all which put us off a bit. The bread they served us was warm and delicious. The pizza was average. The place and service is really good wish they would improve on food quality.
