Dai Forni

Dai Forni is an Italian fine-dining restaurant inside the Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya, on Al Shuhada Street in Mirqab, Kuwait City, Kuwait. As a hotel restaurant it draws business guests, residents and special-occasion diners, with spending of roughly KWD 25-45 per person. The Four Seasons brand sets a high service standard, though no Michelin recognition or named chef lineage is documented for the venue.

The signature dishes are hand-made pasta and wood-fired pizza. Pasta is made in-house in the Italian manner, and the wood-fired oven produces pizzas with a charred, blistered crust. The specialty is hand-made pasta and wood-fired pizza, so the menu centres on these items alongside Italian starters, mains and desserts. Diners often choose a pasta course followed by a main, or share a pizza as a lighter option.

The room has an upscale but lively character, with an open-kitchen feel typical of modern Italian hotel restaurants. Smart-casual dress is typical and noise is moderate. Because alcohol is not served in Kuwait, the beverage programme is built around non-alcoholic cocktails, premium juices, Italian-style coffee and sparkling water.

Reservations are required, and booking several days ahead is wise for Thursday and Friday evenings. Lunch is generally calmer and can be easier to secure. Visitors often combine a meal with other Four Seasons venues and the neighbouring Burj Alshaya complex and Mirqab area shopping. Menu details and hours should be confirmed with the hotel before booking.
