A beloved fixture on DIFC’s restaurant scene since opening in 2012, up-market Italian eaterie Roberto’s has announced the expansion of its lifestyle brand to Qatar and Oman. A newly-formed partnership between Skelmore Hospitality Partners Dubai and Alfardan Hospitality, will see two new openings at The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl in Doha, and at The St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat in Oman.

This follows news of Roberto’s opening at The Ritz-Carlton in Amman in October, too. Centred around modern Italian cuisine, with side-steps into entertainment, Roberto’s DIFC is known and loved for its cosmopolitan vibrancy and feast for the senses, offering a 360-degree experience, with a mixologist bar, al fresco terraces and live entertainment. Having also recently announced its Roberto’s At Home offering, and its Catering At Sea, where you can hire a 58-foot yacht, complete with private chef, captain and crew, 2021 is gearing up to be a big year for Roberto’s.
