Set against the backdrop of the iconic Burj Khalifa, along with the restaurant’s stunning interior with soft lighting and beautiful chandeliers, Chic Nonna will be transformed into a haven of romance that sets the stage for an enchanting evening.

Lovers will be serenaded by romantic musical ensembles throughout the evening as they embrace the intimate yet scenic ambiance of the famed Italian restaurant.

Chic Nonna’s talented culinary team, headed by Chef Francesco Torcasio and Group Executive Chef Giuseppe Pezzella, presents sumptuous delights such as the Terrina di fegato d’Anatra, an exquisite starter of foie gras terrine with figs and cherry compote, served alongside delicate brioche and complemented by a hazelnut aioli, or the Cured Yellowtail Fish, with a touch of vibrant citrus, topped with golden beetroots, Kaluga caviar, and finished with a drizzle of ponzu dressing, adding zest to the dish.

For the main course, guests can share the love with a selection of entrées. Bringing colour to the table, the Beetroot Gnocchi, stuffed with taleggio cheese, broccoli, and langoustines and topped with a pistachio crumble, delivers a plate filled with passion and flavours. Highlighting Italian traditions, classic delights such as the Spaghetti Chitarra with blue lobster, bergamot, and oscietra caviar bring a warm and hearty addition to the romantic evening, and the Braised Duck Breast with carrot purée, caramelised peach, and potato millefeuille offers tantalising flavours that stand the test of time. Ending the evening on a sweet note, lovers can relish in the swoon-worthy Vanilla Strawberry Mousse, set to satisfy the sweet tooth and leave guests feeling the amore.
