JCRADS & PARTNERS is delighted to announce its appointment as the public relations partner for TOTÓ Dubai and La Camera! By TOTÓ, two distinctive venues located in the heart of Downtown Dubai.
TOTÓ Dubai is a romantic and elegant Italian-Mediterranean restaurant inspired by the golden age of Italian cinema. Designed as an ode to the glamour of 1950s and 60s Italy, the space combines dark wood, stone finishes, soft, ambient lighting, while walls adorned with black-and-white film stills and vintage posters transport guests into a cinematic world where every detail feels curated. The atmosphere is layered with moments of theatre – from tableside flourishes to live music that brings vibrancy and energy to the dining room, creating a sense of occasion while maintaining an air of timeless sophistication.
At the heart of TOTÓ is Chef Angelo Santi, whose 25-year career underpins a menu of deeply rooted Italian classics. Guests can indulge in dishes such as Ravioli di brasato, filled with slow-braised beef and finished in parmesan cream; the indulgent Risotto Carabineros with Amalfi lemon and coral sauce; or Linguine all’astice, served with whole Canadian lobster in a rich, bisque-style broth. The wood-fired pizzas, crafted by Vincenzo Palermo, World Pizza Champion, have already developed a devoted following, with the truffle-laced Tartufo proving a particular favourite.
Complementing the cuisine is an enviable wine list, showcasing varieties from across Italy and beyond, carefully curated to match the restaurant’s refined menu. TOTÓ also hosts dedicated wine dinners and plans to introduce a series of culinary partnerships and experiences throughout the season, reinforcing its position as one of the finest Italian dining destinations in Dubai.
Above the main dining room sits La Camera! By TOTÓ, a sultry late-night lounge that draws on the elegance and allure of 1960s Italian glamour. With velvet seating, low lighting and a live stage, La Camera! sets the scene for a dynamic program of entertainment, including a house band, a rotating lineup of singers, and an innovative immersive experience set to launch soon. Nights often flow from soulful performances into funk-driven energy, with guests frequently dancing long into the night.
The bar program at La Camera! led by 'flavour architect' Nikola Lemic is equally dynamic, with cocktails that blend classic Italian sophistication and inventive flair. Highlights include the Giardino Verde, a crisp blend of tequila, cucumber and green apple with a salted rim, and the Fellini Negroni, a bold reworking of the classic with berry-infused gin, passionfruit Campari and hibiscus.
Alexandra Mamonova, Marketing Lead for Leisure Quest Group, commented: “We are thrilled to be working with JCRADS & PARTNERS. They bring something fresh to public relations – a team with extensive hospitality experience, deeply rooted industry connections and an unmatched operational understanding. It’s a powerful combination that supports us as we build lasting community relationships and strengthen the reputation of these wonderful venues.”
Together, TOTÓ and La Camera! create a seamless evening that begins with an elegant dinner and evolves into a night of music, cocktails and atmosphere — immersive, stylish and full of detail.
