Belcanto Restaurant at Dubai Opera

Giovanni Papi

Executive Head Chef
From Bosa to the world. A culinary journey that began at just 16 years old, driven by passion, discipline, and a deep respect for ingredients. Built step by step across France, Luxembourg, Australia, China, and the United Arab Emirates, shaping a global vision firmly rooted in Italian identity. Nearly seven years at Armani/Ristorante at the Burj Khalifa marked a defining chapter, rising from Sous Chef to Head Chef Speciality. During this time, the restaurant achieved a Michelin Star, 3 Gault & Millau Toques, and a nomination for Chef of the Year in 2022. The cuisine is modern Italian: clean, precise, and guided by seasonality. A philosophy grounded in sustainability, zero waste principles, and the belief that exceptional ingredients should speak for themselves through balance and restraint. Each dish is created with purpose and narrative, merging tradition and innovation through elegance and meticulous attention to detail. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter as Executive Chef of Ristorante Belcanto. The vision is clear: to elevate the experience, push creative boundaries, and guide the restaurant back into the world’s most prestigious culinary guides, including Michelin and Gault & Millau.
