Villa Toscana Abu Dhabi – Michelin-Recommended Italian on the Corniche

Tuscan Tradition on the Corniche

At Villa Toscana, Italian cuisine meets the Abu Dhabi coastline. Located within The St. Regis Abu Dhabi on the Corniche, this beachfront restaurant brings the spirit of Tuscany to the capital. Its Michelin Recommended status reflects a kitchen that respects tradition while embracing modern techniques.

Chef Vittorio Nania’s Vision

The menu is curated by Michelin Young Chef Vittorio Nania, who blends time-honored Tuscan recipes with contemporary artistry. The result is Italian cuisine that feels both familiar and refined. Handmade pasta—like the Pici Al Ragu Chiantigiano or the Ravioli del Plin—sits alongside wood-fired pizzas, from a classic Margherita to the bold Pizza N’duja with seasonal black truffle. Sharing plates, such as the Wagyu T-Bone Fiorentina, encourage a communal approach to dining.

Setting and Atmosphere

The restaurant occupies a prime spot within a premier beach club, offering panoramic views of the waterfront. The interiors are elegant yet comfortable, with outdoor seating that makes the most of the Corniche setting. Whether for a business lunch, a romantic dinner, or a family gathering, the space adapts without losing its refined character. A daily aperitivo hour and a business lunch menu provide further reasons to visit.

A Michelin-Recognized Experience

The 2026 Michelin Recommended award underscores Villa Toscana’s consistency and quality. From the slow-cooked veal loin with tuna sauce to the Parmigiana 2.0, each dish reflects a commitment to premium ingredients and careful technique. The wine list, extensive and Italian-focused, completes the experience. For those seeking authentic Italian cuisine in Abu Dhabi, Villa Toscana delivers with warmth and precision.
