Star-studded glamour set the scene for the opening of Carbone Dubai at Atlantis The Royal in October 2025. This marks the 10th global outpost of the celebrated New York restaurant, bringing a slice of 1950s Manhattan to the emirate, complete with tuxedoed waiters, classic Italian-American dishes, tableside theatrics and cinematic style. Chef and Co-Founder Mario Carbone welcomed a glittering guest list including supermodels Alessandra Ambrosio and Romee Strijd, actress Kat Graham, musician Lennon Gallagher and former footballer Rio Ferdinand, alongside regional stars Mona Zaki, Ahmed Helmy and Mona Kattan, plus hospitality executives, including Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths and Kerzner CEO Philippe Zuber. Guests mingled over signature bites such as Spicy Rigatoni and Caviar Stracciatella Toast and original supermodel Naomi Campbell took to the decks. The three-day VIP celebrations also included a beachside pop-up party headlined by hip-hop heavyweight Rick Ross.
