Huda Kattan has been spotted dining at Siena Dubai, the new Italian restaurant in DIFC that only opened its doors a little over two months ago
Siena Dubai shared a glimpse of her visit on social media as Huda even left a handwritten note on her plate that read: “Everything was amazing, thank you.”
A little more about Siena Dubai
If Siena Dubai wasn’t already on your dining radar, it probably is now. The Paris-born Italian restaurant opened in DIFC on April 7, 2026 and has quickly become one of Dubai’s most talked-about new openings.
Originally launched in Paris in 2023, Siena is inspired by the Italian art of la dolce vita, blending Tuscan-inspired cuisine with Parisian glamour. The Dubai outpost brings that same elegant energy to the heart of DIFC.
The menu focuses on elevated Italian classics, from handmade pastas and fresh seafood to premium cuts of meat and delicious desserts, all served in a lively setting that transitions from business lunches to late-night dinners. It’s easy to see why the restaurant has quickly become a favourite among Dubai’s foodies… and now, celebrity diners too.
More than just a celebrity hotspot
Shortly after opening its doors in April, Siena Dubai’s executive Chef Stefano Cauzzo shared why he believes Dubai’s dining scene continues to thrive despite global uncertainty.
“Dubai is not stopping, Dubai is going on,” Cauzzo said, highlighting his confidence in the city’s hospitality industry and growing restaurant scene. Having called Dubai home for more than a decade, the chef believes openings like Siena are driven as much by the city’s residents as they are by visitors.
