Villa Toscana Abu Dhabi

Villa Toscana sits inside The St. Regis Abu Dhabi at Nation Towers. It rests a fifteen-minute walk from the shoreline of Corniche Beach, a proximity that dictates the pace of the room.

The restaurant serves classic Italian seafood, a menu that feels far more grounded than the gilded surroundings of the nearby Emirates Palace. While the room runs smart and elegant, the appeal lies in how it handles Italian staples without the performance found elsewhere in the city. Many of its neighbors lean into grand, flashy gestures, but Villa Toscana finds its rhythm in the restraint of its kitchen. Choosing this over the dining options at Marina Mall is the right call for anyone who prefers a focused, quiet meal over the frantic pace of the larger food halls.
