United Arab Emirates, Dubai: Set to open its doors in January – on the beachfront of the stunning Jumeirah Mina A’Salam – Cala Vista promises to bring a laidback yet vibrant Italian experience with a lively day to night ambiance for the city’s most discerning crowd.  

Perfect to while away the best parts of the day, from long lazy lunches to the daily aperitivo ritual and relaxed intimate dinners, the brand-new concept will whisk guests away to the picturesque and charming Italian south coast.

Set among olives trees with mesmerising views of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the stunning space reflects a tranquil chic style with a well-thought-out rustic design concept, perfect for dining no matter the occasion.

At the helm, with over 14 years of culinary experience, is Head Chef Luca Crostelli, son of Jumeirah Al Qasr’s very own award-winning Chef Beatrice Segoni of Pierchic. Luca grew up in a family-owned restaurant inspired by his mother and grandmother. From sneakily eating pieces of fresh pasta rolled by his grandmother when she wasn’t looking, to shadowing his mother around the kitchen, he developed a deep passion for the culinary arts from a young age. With a commitment to preserving culinary traditions, he aims to stay grounded in his Italian heritage, ensuring that every bite has guests craving for more.

Serving up a mix of hearty and traditional Italian dishes, showcasing a symphony of flavours designed for sharing, the menu takes guests on a gastronomic journey for the senses. Italian comfort food is the order of the day with homemade speciality pasta, delicious grills, wood-fired pizza, and decadent desserts – including the showstopping signature Tiramisu, prepared fresh at the table and guaranteed to be the best in the city.

Signature dishes are matched with a list of alluring seaside cocktails including the legendary house Negroni, refreshing homemade spritz and an extensive wine list starring Italian grape varieties.  

Whether you’re looking for a dreamy afternoon paradise to soak up the sun or a charming spot to watch the every-changing colours of the horizon, Cala Vista is set to become one of the most sought-after venues in the city.
