Say 'bye' to Media City's Cafe M, and 'hello' to new Italian, Ciao Bella
The popular working cafe and restaurant has undergone a makeover…
If you live or work around the Media City area, chances are Cafe M is on your radar. The restaurant has long been popular for those working out of the office, a great spot for a quick lunch meeting or a great wine and cheese night. Now though, it’s time to say goodbye to the venue as you knew it.
Found in bustling social and office tower Media One, the restaurant has undergone a makeover and can now be known as ‘Ciao Bella’. The new Italian restaurant has many brilliant offerings to take you right through from breakfast to lunch, post-work ‘aperitivos’, cheese and wine, and then dinner.
It’s still a welcoming space for those looking to work or socialize, but now you’ll find a slightly different vibe, with funky brightly-coloured seating, fun artwork on the walls and plenty of green, leafy plants. Ciao Bella will be open every day from 7am right through until midnight.

The ‘Bella Bites’ business lunch runs from 12pm to 3pm, Sunday to Thursday, with a medium pizza, salad and a drink for Dhs69. Other dishes on the normal lunch menu include antipasti such as arancini balls and calamari, fresh salads including burrata, fully-loaded paninis, as well as pasta and pizza.
For cheese and wine lovers, ‘Pour Decisions’ runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to 10pm, with a selection of Italian cheese and wine for Dhs189.
