Scalini's La Dolce Notte Puts Chef Wesam Masoud on the Menu

On Thursday, November 12th, Scalini at Palm Hills in Sheikh Zayed is handing its kitchen over to Egyptian chef and television personality Wesam Masoud for La Dolce Notte, an evening of Italian dining accompanied by live music from Amir Kamel. Beginning at 8 PM, the occasion pairs Masoud's contemporary culinary sensibilities with a restaurant whose Italian roots stretch back nearly four decades.

Scalini first opened in London's Chelsea neighbourhood in 1988, becoming a fixture of the city's fashionable dining circuit with its traditional Italian cooking and an atmosphere that encouraged diners to settle in for the evening. Its Egyptian outpost has since established a home at Palm Hills, where La Dolce Notte offers a variation on the familiar dinner service, with Masoud stepping behind the stove and Kamel providing the soundtrack.

For anyone whose Thursday plans could benefit from a longer dinner and a little live music, reservations are available through Scalini Egypt's Instagram bio.
