Near Terminal A security, Antonia x Bottega mixes pizza and espresso.
Antonia x Bottega sits airside in Terminal A at Zayed International Airport (AUH), so you reach it after security. The space runs on a hybrid concept: Antonia handles the Roman-style pizza and hot dishes, while Bottega focuses on coffee, pastries, and bar drinks. It primarily serves passengers departing from the A gates, but anyone in Terminal A can walk over without leaving the secure zone.
Opening hours generally track Terminal A’s main bank of flights, with early-morning service aligned to first departures and late-night operation tied to long-haul waves. That means you can expect espresso and pastries before 06:00 and food and drinks available past 22:00 on most days, though exact times follow the airport’s schedule. Because this is a terminal-side restaurant, pricing runs higher than downtown Abu Dhabi; think airport markups on pizza slices, coffee, and alcoholic drinks.
The Antonia side leans Italian, with Roman-style pizza by the slice as the likely headliner, plus a few simple pastas or small plates depending on the day’s menu. Bottega brings espresso-based drinks, possibly Italian pastries, and a bar setup that should cover wine, prosecco, and basic cocktails. You won’t see street-food pricing here, but you also avoid the full white-tablecloth routine; this is sit-down or counter service built around 30–45 minute airport dwell times.
Because there is no published signature dish list yet, treat Antonia x Bottega as a flexible stop: coffee and a pastry before a short-haul departure, or pizza and a drink while waiting to board a long-haul from an A gate. If you care about making boarding group calls at a nearby gate in Terminal A, pick a table with a direct sightline to the monitors and keep your phone’s boarding alerts turned on.
