800PIZZA Of Dubai Is Awarded Second Best Italian Restaurant In The MENA Region

Dubai (I-Newswire) August 9, 2011 - Dubai's Italian food outlet 800PIZZA has been chosen among the best three Authentic Italian Restaurants from the Middle East and Africa. The award is jointly given by Birra Moretti, a premium Italian beer, and the hospitality watchdog, the Restaurant Magazine.

800PIZZA is a leading Italian food outlet in Dubai, which is co-owned by Alessandro D'ubaldo, who has made Dubai his home for over a decade now; and the multi-million trade and commerce group of the UAE, the Belhasa Group of Companies.

"Birra Moretti is a benchmark for the Italian food and lifestyle stakeholders," says Alessandro, who has enjoyed running the authentic Italian food outlets in Dubai for about six years now. "It is honor making into what Birra Moretti perceives as the best from this region, and it couldn't have been anymore timely for us than this."

800PIZZA has recently been into the news for joining hands with the Belhasa Group of Companies. The Group, which has a strong stake in several sectors of the UAE's trade and commerce, has been furthering its foothold into the region's hospitality as well, in the recent years. The groups' recent acquisition of a majority stake in 800PIZZA is part of the same growth plan, and a win-win proposition for the two parties concerned, believes Alessandro.

Birra Moretti has enjoyed a cult status among the food, wine and hospitality enthusiasts since its founding in 1859. The beer is exported in over 40 countries in the present day and time. The Restaurant Magazine, on the other hand, is known for documenting the food outlets from around the globe.

The winners are decided based on their performance on four counts, viz. the quality checks for the raw materials, the respect for traditions, the environment extended to the customers and the availability of the chef-patron. The Restaurant magazine and Birra Moretti are assisted in this task by the Electrolux World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy.

"The Best Authentic Italian Restaurant Award is an acknowledgment of those who, in every continent, have best demonstrated the ability to offer the essence of the Italian art of eating," so declares the official website of the awards. That 800PIZZA was able to score highly on that count doesn't surprise its clients, who know the zeal and the methods the Italian pizzeria has been working with.

And it could only get better for the regular customers of 800PIZZA, as the pizzeria basks in the new-found glory of this coveted award and prepares to live up to the expectations bestowed upon it. The pasta, pizza and the cheerful aroma might only get more exciting for the Italian food lovers in Dubai, in the days and weeks ahead.
