Spring 2023 sees the gourmands of Kuwait spoiled for choice, with Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya reimagining its popular day-to-night Sky 21 Feast, alongside the debut of a creative new lunch menu from Italian Chef, Luigi Frassanito, at Dai Forni.

These highly anticipated culinary adventures, to be enjoyed with a side of panoramic city views from the Hotel’s 21st floor, are among the events that the property’s newly arrived Hotel Manager, Ksenia Novikova, will be overseeing as she starts her first Four Seasons assignment.

Fizzing with energy and infectious excitement, Novikova aims to make the same impact at Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya as she has during her previous award-dotted tenures at some of the most respected luxury hotels and resorts across the United States, China, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Her driving ethos is to create and cultivate opportunities for guests to make heartfelt connections together, no matter the reason. “In hospitality, we are not saving lives, but we have the potential to impact them, from guests to our fellow team members,” she states. “There is something very special about playing a meaningful part in milestone moments in people’s lives, whether it’s a wedding or another landmark celebration.”

Lunch Con Vista at Dai Forni restaurant

Meanwhile, Italian Chef Luigi Frassanito also brings his free-spirited cucina libera style of cooking to Dai Forni this spring with a new lunchtime menu.

The huge ovens that dominate the Sicilianinspired interiors at Dai Forni set an imposing standard for the dining experience to follow: elevated Italian comfort food in a casual and family-friendly setting.

The new Dai Forni Business Lunch set menu adds tantalising flavours to the restaurant’s existing à la carte selections. New starters like Carpaccio di Manzo—a beef carpaccio perfectly paired with parmesan cream, truffle dressing, and shaved black truffle—leads effortlessly into flavourful Sicilian mains like Branzino in Crosta, a fillet of baked seabass accompanied by caponata and pine nuts. Dessert selections include the refreshing balance of Crostata a Limone di Amalfi e Basilico, a sugar dough combined with smooth lemon-basil curd, yuzu namelaka, and a lemonbasil sorbet.

Adding traditional flair to the à la carte menu, Dai Forni’s copper ovens—which lend the restaurant its name—turn out a sublime selection of pizzas. The menu also includes a range of imaginative antipasto dishes, soups, pastas, risottos, mains and desserts, all plated with Chef Luigi’s signature creative twists and accompanied by an equally compelling beverage menu.
