From Sicily to Dubai: A New Year’s Eve Menu by Chef Marco Genovese
At the heart of Cinque’s New Year’s Eve celebration is a specially curated menu from Chef Marco Genovese, drawing inspiration from the flavours and culinary traditions of his Sicilian heritage.
The four-course experience brings together the generous spirit of Italian dining with the refined approach that defines Cinque.
Each course has been created as part of a complete New Year’s Eve dining journey, allowing guests to settle in and enjoy the final evening of the year over exceptional food, alcoholic beverages and a celebratory atmosphere.
It is an experience rooted in Italian tradition while created for one of Dubai’s biggest nights of the year.
Four Courses Made for the Final Dinner of 2026
New Year’s Eve calls for more than an ordinary dinner.
Cinque marks the occasion with a four-course set menu, taking guests through a carefully curated selection of Italian flavours and festive favourites.
From the first course to the final bite, the menu puts Italian craftsmanship at the centre of the evening, complemented by alcoholic beverages throughout the celebration.
Rather than rushing towards midnight, Cinque invites guests to make dinner part of the occasion itself – sharing courses, raising glasses and enjoying the final hours of 2026 around the table.
For younger guests aged 5–12, a dedicated children’s set menu with soft drinks is available from AED800, making the celebration an option for families welcoming the new year together.
Indoor Elegance or Al Fresco Dining
Make the evening your own with a choice between Cinque’s elegant indoor setting or dining al fresco.
Inside, settle into Cinque’s vibrant Italian atmosphere for an intimate New Year’s Eve dinner surrounded by friends and family, with the four-course set menu and alcoholic beverages available from AED1,500 per person.
For those who prefer to dine outdoors, the al fresco setting offers the chance to celebrate beneath the Dubai sky as the city lights provide the backdrop to the final evening of the year, from AED1,800 per person including the four-course set menu and alcoholic beverages.
Whichever setting you choose, expect the same focus on authentic Italian flavours, warm hospitality and a celebratory atmosphere throughout the evening.
