Welcome to another success story by Ranieri Lava Stone in association with Dubai-based surface specialists, Surface Eleven: Alici, the Seafood Restaurant in Dubai Inspired by the Amalfi Coast.
The restaurant comprises two levels, adorned by Ranieri Lava Stone bar tops: on the ground floorand first-floor bars. crudo
Alici is located in Bluewaters Island of Dubai and overlooks the scenic landscapes of this dynamic city including the famous ‘Dubai Eye’.
The inspiration for Alici’s interiors comes from blue waters and bright moods; it’s a space bathed in neutral shades and heaps of natural light, blue tones, and white-washed wood.
When you think of seafood, the scent of the sea life usually accompanies the taste of fresh catch. This is what the new seafood restaurant in Dubai, Alici, aimed for by matching the interiors with the colors of the Amalfi Coast, from which it takes inspiration.
