Thanks to MD's recommendation, I went to Carluccio's at Dubai Mall one evening.
Tel: +971 4 434 1320
Opening hours: 8am - midnight (8am, really!? Better call ahead first, that's what it says on the website, but I don't believe it!)
My choice ... a simple spaghetti vongolle with clams. About RM$50, which I thought was good value, considering this was Dubai Mall :-) Taste-wise I thought it was good, but not spectacular. The clams were very fresh though, and the pasta was about the most perfect al-dente I have ever had!
The carnage at the end of my meal :-)
I washed down my pasta with Homemade Lemonade (20 AED - Rip off!), which I found to be rather blah! Pity they didn't serve any wine to accompany the pasta ;-)
The view driving out of Dubai Mall ... and out of Jebel Ali, on the outskirts of Dubai ... Till next time, adieu.

At least, there's some decent food in a mall even at late hours. I second your fascination for Dubai.
