Had a wonderful time at the pasta making class with chef Ali. He was very friendly and patient with us. The place is really cute and has a very bubbly feeling. After the class, we opted for the pomodoro burrata, pasta, margarita pizza, grilled mushrooms, and grilled prawns. Everything was amazing, but the prawns really stood out! Will definitely be going again!

It’s a small place with a wide rectangular window overlooking a quiet road and a park. So calm and peaceful at that time and that’s why we were able to savor our food and talk. My favorite dish were their Porcini & Truffle Risotto and Buffalo Chicken Wings! The best Buffalo chicken I’ve ever had so far 🤤 the lemon mint iced tea was also refreshing. My friend got the strawberry iced tea and ordered again. 😁 Will definitely go back for their pasta-making class and then eat the buffalo chicken wings again 🙂↕️

Amazing experience! The chef was very accommodating and understanding. We came from Abu Dhabi and arrived late, but he kindly kept the class for us. It was just the two of us, and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious, and I really liked that the package included three dishes. The tiramisu was especially amazing! It’s definitely something that sets them apart from other cooking classes. The only downside was that the fresh pasta didn’t handle the humidity during the drive back and stuck together, so we couldn’t cook it properly later. Overall, highly recommended!

Had such a great experience at the pasta-making class at Polline! I really enjoyed learning how to make different types of pasta from scratch and picking up new techniques along the way. The class was fun, hands-on, and well-guided. Ending the experience with a delicious set menu made it even more special. Definitely something I’d recommend trying!

Review by @lookatsascha Polline feels like one of those places where you come for a calm moment and end up staying longer. The space is clean, bright and very well curated, with an aesthetic that makes everything look simple but refined. The food was good overall, just one detail, the meat was not cooked as I asked, but still everything else was on point. The atmosphere is relaxed and balanced, good for a slow breakfast or a quiet lunch. Service is friendly and smooth, keeping the experience easy from start to finish. We took photos and videos to show the space and the vibe. Take a look before you visit.
