Il Gattopardo Chef’s Italian Feast with a View of Dubai’s Skyline

Set high above DIFC on the 51st floor of ICD Brookfield Place, Il Gattopardo Dubai invites guests into a love letter to Italy’s golden era, where timeless elegance, expressive flavors, and la dolce vita unfold against the city’s glittering skyline. This Chef’s Feast is conceived as a fluid culinary procession, guiding guests through Italy’s coastal waters, countryside kitchens, and celebratory tables in a seamless journey from crudo to dolce, each moment elevated by thoughtfully selected Italian wine pairings.

The experience begins with a refined crudo and aperitivo moment, designed to awaken the palate and set a convivial tone. As the evening unfolds, a procession of antipasti arrives, celebrating the generosity and rhythm of classic Italian dining. The heart of the feast is expressed through the primi, where craftsmanship and comfort of pasta take center stage. For the main course, the table is anchored by a shared secondi that embodies Italian generosity and drama. 

The journey concludes with a sweet celebration of la dolce vita. A classic tiramisù served tableside adds a final indulgent note. Vin Santo del Chianti is poured followed by a selection of Italian digestivi including amaro, grappa, and limoncello, encouraging guests to linger as the evening transitions into Il Gattopardo’s lively late-night atmosphere.

Designed to flow effortlessly from golden-hour aperitivo into an elegant dinner and beyond, this Chef’s Feast captures the essence of Il Gattopardo Dubai—where Italian heritage meets modern glamour, hospitality is timeless, and life is for tasting.
