The internationally acclaimed Italian restaurant Scalini has officially arrived in Lebanon, opening its doors in Downtown Beirut on July 14, 2026. Following its successful expansion across Dubai and other global destinations, the renowned dining concept introduces a new chapter in its international journey with its first Lebanese address at the Fawaz Building, Downtown.

Founded in London’s Chelsea in 1988, Scalini has established itself as a celebrated Italian dining destination, renowned for its authentic flavours, elegant atmosphere, and warm hospitality. Over the years, the brand has expanded its presence across key destinations including Dubai, Doha, Cannes, Istanbul, and Egypt, bringing its signature approach to Italian cuisine to guests around the world.

Building on the success of Scalini Dubai and its growing international footprint, 7 Management brings the iconic restaurant to Beirut as part of its ongoing commitment to developing distinctive hospitality experiences across the region.

Reflecting the evolution of the brand, Scalini Beirut offers a contemporary interpretation of the concept, blending Italian heritage with a refined yet welcoming dining environment tailored to the modern Beirut guest. Located in one of the city’s most vibrant areas, the restaurant features sophisticated interiors, Scalini’s signature lemon tree, and an outdoor terrace overlooking the streets of Downtown Beirut.

Designed as a destination for every occasion, Scalini Beirut invites guests to enjoy leisurely lunches, intimate dinners, weekend brunches, and memorable evenings in the heart of the capital.

The menu celebrates the richness of Italian cuisine while incorporating refined contemporary touches. Guests can discover signature dishes including Tartara di Manzo, Tagliolini al Tartufo, Pappardelle al Ragù Bianco, Piccata al Limone, and Veal Milanese, all prepared with carefully selected ingredients and presented through Scalini’s modern interpretation of classic Italian dining.

“Beirut has always been a city that appreciates exceptional hospitality and dining experiences. Bringing Scalini to Lebanon represents an important milestone for us, not only because of the significance of this city, but because we believe in its potential and its ability to continue creating memorable experiences. This opening was never just about timelines or operational readiness; it was about understanding the market, the moment, and the confidence we have in Beirut and Lebanon’s future. We opened when we felt confident in the city, and in the experience we wanted to create for our guests. We are proud to introduce a brand with such international recognition and to add a new destination to Beirut’s evolving hospitality scene.” said Rabih Fakhreddine, Founder & Group CEO of 7 Management.
