Principale, the Italian chef-driven restaurant on the Gulf Road is launching a new seasonal outdoor restaurant in their garden right by the sea.
If you aren’t familiar with Principale, it’s the rebirth of the old popular Italian restaurant Nino, and opened up in Nino’s original location near the Kuwait Towers.
Olivio is being described as a “pure alfresco Italian restaurant inspired by coastal Italy” and will have a fixed menu serving mostly grilled food. They will be soft launching tomorrow (Sunday) but by invitation only. It will remain by invitation only until the official launch of the restaurant on January 25th.
I’m invited tomorrow so I might post updates here after. But, to stay posted on their opening, follow them on @oliviokw
Update: Here is some more info they just sent me, there will be light art installations at the pop-up and they were created by Berlin-Kuwait based architecture and design practice BBPJ DESIGN. The installations were inspired by Pantelleria Island located off the coast of Sicily.

I always wondered what happened to Nino, and now I know. I always thought Principale was a completely new thing.
there used to be a section specifically for food content, I’ve been trying to find it but the page doesn’t exist anymore (/food). it was very helpful to find everything restaurant related
