KrèSios

Dined here with some friends and had an amazing experience. There are many very special personal touches from the chef and his life seen through the music, plating, decor, and of course food. I loved the dishes that were inspired by the memories of his childhood. The service is excellent. There is an open kitchen and I can see the chefs are very dedicated and passionate about their work. Wait staff is so nice and attentive. I forgot my purse in the restroom and they were so nice to stay open later and meet me so I can retrieve it!

A defining dining experience highly deserving of its Michelin stars. One of the best meals I've ever had. Everything is perfection from service to wine. Dishes mix ingredients in a way that sublimates each ingredient. Ideas flow from one dish to another. Fantastic!

The food was interesting and tasty. Service was great. But I’m giving one less star because we paid extra 80€ each for wine pairing but the amount of wine that we got served was a finger height. I would say in all honesty we drank a total of 1 glass in total - not an exaggeration. The overall experience was great but paying almost the same price of the food to get this much wine is not worth it. I suggest you buy a whole bottle of good wine and enjoy it the whole evening versus sipping a pitiful amount per dish. I also wrote them an email a week ago and sadly haven’t gotten a response when we shared this feedback? A bit disappointed considering they have a Michelin star and you’d expect better.

Kresios is a two Michelin headed by Chef Giuseppe Iannotti and located in an old country-house. The restaurant is small for the size of its area. I think it only has 4 or 5 tables. The atmosphere is elaxed and informal . The name of the menu, "Mr.Brown", a reference to the movie "Reservoir Dogs". There’s no choice here, just one surprise tasting menu divided into appetizers, main and desserts, each consisting of various bites. Chef Iannotti is known for his innovative and experimental approach to Italian cuisine, blending traditional flavors with modern techniques. His cooking is inspired by Spanish, Japanese cuisines and other global trends. The combination has already resulted in his two dishes signature dishes: the concentrated spaghetto allo scoglio and the risotto with black olives. My experience was unfortunately disappointing. The first fish course had a very hard texture. Almost every dish, including the signature concentrated spaghetto allo (which has 52 ingredients), were very very overly salty. There is an obvious attempt to be creative but the outcome is unappealing. And they don’t serve soft drinks!! If that was the restaurant’s policy then provide other alternatives. I have seen this in many upscale restaurants in various cities and some are very creative on drinks. Kresios had none. So your options other than wine is water 💧

"I attended the pop-up restaurant at the Ataya event in Abu Dhabi featuring Chef Giuseppe Iannotti. Unfortunately, my dining experience fell short of expectations. The food wasn't as impressive as I had hoped, and overall, I didn't find much enjoyment in my meal."
