Cala Vista's dining specials offer a taste of Italian summers
Summer calls for straw hats, breezy cotton dresses and strappy sandals – and the perfect restaurant to match the vibe.
If you're looking for a spot to dress up in your best summer fit, enjoy a long, leisurely lunch, or sip something cool while gazing out at the sea, Cala Vista should be at the top of your list.
This gorgeous Italian restaurant at Jumeirah Mina Al Salam is dialling things up a notch this summer, offering a taste of la dolce vita without stepping out of the cool indoors.
From June to September, the team is inviting you to savour summer the Italian way, with two culinary experiences that do more than just feed your appetite. Expect rich flavours, authentic Italian hospitality and stunning sea vistas.
Don't miss the breezy Vista Brunch
First, you have to block out your Sunday to try Cala Vista's take on the classic Italian Sunday ritual.
The Vista brunch offers generous sharing platters, a dash of theatre from the live cooking stations and a roving dessert trolley that'll have you do a double-take.
Inspired by head chef Luca Crostelli's childhood memories, it offers comfort dishes and bold flavours passed down through generations. Priced from Dhs375, the brunch is served every Sunday from 12.30pm to 4pm, with indoor seating and views of the sea that are hard to ignore.
For quieter evenings, go on an Italian grape journey
If a quieter, more contemplative evening is more your pace, the grape pairing menu brings an elegant twist.
This five-course dinner comes with a curated selection of grape from across Italy's regions, chosen by Cala Vista's sommelier Pasquale Sommella.
Each pairing is designed to tell a story, with dishes curated by head chef Luca that play off the grape's personality. The Dhs550 experience is available daily from 5pm and has vegetarian options, too.
You bring the appetite, and they'll handle the rest. Get planning now.
