ROBERTO'S MUSCAT UNVEILS AN EXCLUSIVE FOUR HANDS DINNER WITH CHEFS GIANDONATO TAFURI AND FLORIN RESMERITA
Roberto's at The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort will transform into a stage for culinary artistry as two exceptional chefs come together for a five-Course Four Hands Dinner on Wednesday May 28th 2025. Executive Chef Giandonato Tafuri from Roberto's Muscat and guest Chef Florin Resmerita from Roberto's Doha join forces to create a singular expression of flavor and finesse—a bespoke tasting menu that marries Italian soul with global inspiration. This collaboration is a true meeting of minds, where signature techniques and bold culinary philosophies converge. Each course is thoughtfully crafted and plated with precision, reflecting the chefs' shared vision of elevating Italian cuisine through fresh coastal ingredients and the delicate, enchanting essence of Omani saffron. 'Bringing Chef Giandonato and Chef Florin together is about more than pairing skill sets,' notes Fabio Marzano, General Manager of Roberto's Muscat. 'It's about connecting our Roberto's family across the Gulf and bringing this extraordinary culinary experience to Oman. It showcases how Italian roots can flourish uniquely in both Muscat and Doha—different expressions, yet united by the same authentic culinary language.' Chef Giandonato, born into a family of chefs and seafood farmers in Puglia, honed his skills through early apprenticeships and years of collaboration with Michelin-starred masters across Italy and the Middle East. After leading Roberto's kitchens in Dubai and Doha, he now steers the Muscat venue with a signature approach that melds coastal simplicity with meticulous detail. Chef Florin began his culinary path in Greece and spent over a decade in Italy perfecting the essentials of Italian cuisine. Having refined his artistry in the Michelin-starred kitchens of Gordon Ramsay and Alain Ducasse, he now brings his globally informed sensibilities to Roberto's Doha, where he curates immersive dining experiences that respect tradition while embracing innovation. The exclusive five-course menu takes guests on a journey of contrasts and harmony, from the luxurious Manzo, Caviale e Uova—black Angus tartare adorned with Kristal caviar—to the bright Ricotta, Salmone e Lime, and the comforting warmth of saffron-infused Ossobuco Croquette. The meal continues with torched red mullet risotto, handmade plin pasta filled with wagyu cheek and foie gras, and charcoal-grilled wagyu striploin topped with delicate carbonara foam. For seafood lovers, a baked seabass offers an elegant alternative. The finale is a decadent dark chocolate and hazelnut dessert, brightened by notes of mango and yuzu. This dinner is more than a meal—it's a narrative told through textures, flavors, and a shared passion for Italian culinary excellence. Priced at OMR 48 per person (minimum two guests), the experience will begin from 6PM at Roberto's Muscat. Seating is limited, and advance reservations are highly recommended.

‘Lilo & Stitch' live-action remake brings human connection to the fore
'Lilo & Stitch' is the latest Disney (DIS.N), opens new tab animation to get a live-action remake, with the medium allowing a closer look at the main characters' relationships, its makers say. Like its predecessor, the new movie, which begins its cinema rollout on Wednesday, tells the story of a young Hawaiian girl called Lilo, played by newcomer Maia Kealoha, who befriends a fugitive alien who crash lands on Earth, and names him Stitch. After the death of her parents, Lilo is under the care of her sister Nani, who is struggling to juggle all her responsibilities - all while new family addition Stitch wreaks havoc around them. 'It has the same heart and it has the same fun and Hawaiian rollercoaster ride of chaos that is Stitch,' actor Sydney Agudong, who plays Nani, told Reuters. 'But at the same time, I think the beautiful thing about being able to do a live-action is that you get the nuance of human connection. And I think with Maia and I's (audiences) get that true sense of family and that it doesn't actually always have to be blood.' Director Dean Fleischer Camp said the 2002 animation's characters and setting allowed for scope to work in a new form. Several cast members from the 2002 animation return in the new film, including Chris Sanders, who once again voices Stitch. Tia Carrere, who voiced Nani, plays new character Mrs Kekoa, with co-stars Amy Hill and Jason Scott Lee also in new roles. --Reuters
