Get your penne and paper ready…

Do you know your spaghetti from your linguine? Do you lust over lasagne? Have you got a fettuccine fever just thinking about pasta? Then Friday October 25 will be a special day for you. World Pasta Day is just around the corner and restaurants across Dubai are celebrating with special offers available across the city.

Here’s five places to celebrate World Pasta Day in Dubai.

Leonardo

Contemporary Italian eatery, Leonardo, prides itself on its traditional pasta dishes, so it makes perfect sense to celebrate World Pasta Day at the Stella Di Mare restaurant. On October 25 and 26, all pasta dishes will be reduced to Dhs79, so you can sample some of their incredible flavours for less. Options include homemade tortellini pasta stuffed with beef ragout served in aromatic sage butter and fettuccine pasta with classic bolognese sauce.

Leonardo, Stella Di Mare, Dubai Marina, Friday Oct 25 and Saturday Oct 26, 6pm to 11.30pm, Dhs79. Tel: (04) 563 5555. @leonardodxb

From October 24 to 28, guests at Trattoria Toscana will be able to enjoy two limited-edition dishes added to the pasta menu. The first is orecchiette broccoli e salsiccia (Dhs65), served with broccoli and beef sausage, topped with parmesan. The other is trofie al pesto ligure, gamberi e pomodori confit (Dhs70), which comes with basil pesto, shrimps and confit tomatoes.
