The final evening of 2026 at Isabella Cucina Italiana belongs to sequins and champagne. The Italian restaurant at Vida Hills Hotel in Dubai draws inspiration from Studio 54, that most storied of New York venues, and marries it with the understated refinement of Milano for a night that promises dancing, indulgence and the proper ceremony of midnight.
Dinner begins at eight o’clock, with guests encouraged to arrive dressed in shimmer and sparkle. The kitchen offers a specially curated set menu at AED 699, though the à la carte selections tell their own story: caviar and oyster tables sit alongside a sparkling champagne offering, and a pasta course finished tableside in a wheel of aged Parmesan provides the kind of moment that lingers after the evening ends.
When the final course is cleared, the restaurant transforms. From eleven until three in the morning, the after party takes hold. A DJ commands the mood while Louis Roederer Champagne flows, and for those inclined to remain through the small hours, lounge tables dressed with premium gin and tequila reposado provide their own particular comfort. The dance floor readies itself for midnight and the toasts that follow.
Isabella Cucina Italiana welcomes reservations for the evening of Thursday, 31 December 2026. Contact the restaurant directly on +971 50 815 7347 to secure a table for dinner or a lounge reservation for the after party. The dress code is sequins and glitter; arrive in the spirit of celebration.
