December 13, 2023

Dubai, a city known for its extravagant dining scene and picturesque beachfront eateries, is set to welcome a new gem to its culinary crown – Cala Vista. This seaside restaurant is poised to capture the essence of Italy’s coastal charm, bringing it to the shores of Jumeirah Mina A’Salam. With its blend of Italian cuisine and beachfront dining, Cala Vista is anticipated to be an instant hit in Dubai’s vibrant dining landscape.

Cala Vista is not just a dining spot; it’s an experience. The open-air restaurant exudes a rustic-luxe ambiance, characterized by whitewashed woods and grand marbles, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the Italian coast. It’s envisioned as the perfect spot for various dining experiences – from long, lazy lunches and sunset aperitivos to intimate dinners. The restaurant’s backdrop, featuring the iconic Burj Al Arab, further enhances its chic and inviting appeal.

At the helm of Cala Vista’s culinary journey is Chef Luca Crostelli, who brings over fifteen years of experience and a rich heritage of family recipes. Crostelli, the son of the renowned chef Beatrice Segoni from the neighboring Pierchic, is set to infuse his expertise and familial culinary traditions into every dish.

The menu at Cala Vista centers around Italian comfort foods, each given a contemporary twist to match the chic beachfront setting. Diners can expect a feast of homemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and succulent grills. The sharing menu emphasizes the communal and hearty nature of Italian cooking, inviting guests to indulge in a culinary journey.

Dessert is an experience in itself, with the restaurant’s signature tiramisu prepared tableside, adding a touch of theatrics to the dining experience. This classic Italian dessert promises to be a highlight for those with a sweet tooth.

Complementing the exquisite food menu is an array of fragrant and fruity drinks, perfect for seaside sipping. In addition, Cala Vista boasts an extensive wine list, with a focus on Italian grape varieties, offering patrons a comprehensive taste of Italy’s renowned wine culture.

Cala Vista is more than just a restaurant; it’s set to be a destination where food, ambiance, and scenic views converge to create unforgettable dining experiences. It’s a testament to Dubai’s ability to blend world cuisines with its unique landscape, continually enhancing its reputation as a global gastronomic hotspot.
