Dubai’s fine dining scene is set to witness an extraordinary gastronomic collaboration as Social at Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah brings together two culinary masters—Michelin-starred Chef Agostino Iacobucci and Chef Carmine Faravolo—for a 4 Hands Dinner from February 20 to 22, 2025. More than just an exclusive dining event, this experience is a tribute to the art of mentorship, Italian heritage, and the evolution of culinary mastery.

At the heart of this limited-time affair is a seven-course tasting menu (AED 650 per person, or AED 950 with grape pairing), meticulously crafted to tell the story of a mentor and his protégé. Chef Agostino, renowned for his bold fusion of Mediterranean flavors and Emilia-Romagna’s rich culinary traditions, returns to collaborate with Chef Carmine, whose leadership has placed Social on the Michelin Guide and earned it a coveted Gault&Millau toque. The duo’s journey—from Naples to Dubai—unfolds through a menu that bridges time-honored recipes with avant-garde techniques.

Each dish on the menu serves as a chapter in their shared narrative. Guests will be welcomed with an amuse-bouche medley, showcasing Chef Agostino’s delicate Herb Flan with aringa caviar and bergamot, and Chef Carmine’s molecular gastronomy-inspired Pasta Tart and Beef Cecina Roll. The story continues with refined starters like Fassona Beef Tartare with potato mille-feuille, caviar, and marinated quail egg, followed by a soulful Tortelli al Ragu Napoletano, an homage to Neapolitan comfort food. The main courses—Sea Bass Gold in Amalfi Coast Style and Lamb Loin with turnip tops and goat cheese—highlight the duo’s signature techniques, seamlessly blending classic and contemporary flavors. To conclude, a zesty Pane & Limone refresher paves the way for an indulgent finale—the Neapolitan classic Il Baba and Piccola Pasticceria.

More than just a meal, this 4 Hands Dinner is a celebration of legacy, mentorship, and the deep-rooted passion that defines Italian cuisine. With limited seating available, this exclusive experience is a must for Dubai’s gastronomes.
