The h.wood Group, a Los Angeles-based hospitality and lifestyle marketing company, recently announced the official opening of The Nice Guy’s first international outpost. The new restaurant lies in Dubai’s Emirates Towers and maintains the brand’s same cozy aesthetic while paying homage to the era of Mafia bars and restaurants.

Available through reservations only, The Nice Guy Dubai boasts a world-class lineup of Italian cuisine for both lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy classic dishes alongside crafted cocktails. Beyond the restaurant’s intimate lounge and space, the venue also boasts a romantic patio and terrace.

Custom cedar walls, enriched tones and a reimagined ceiling design all come together to create a unique dining experience for guests. These elements also mark the brand’s first venture into sustainable construction, placing organic materials at the forefront of design and luxury. At night, the restaurant transitions into a more energetic scene with regularly programmed live entertainment and DJ sets.
