Then comes the food—because what’s Christmas without a feast? Mamabella has introduced a fully customised Christmas menu crafted by the iconic Mama Terrasa and Chef Alessandro. Expect a thoughtful blend of signature Italian favourites and festive seasonal dishes, bringing you the best of both culinary worlds. And no one is left out: there’s also an exclusive vegan Christmas menu, ensuring everyone can indulge in authentic Italian flavours and join in the celebrations.
For something extra special, Mamabella’s intimate Cucina Mama private dining experience takes festive dining to a whole new level. Groups of up to 12 guests can host their own private Christmas dinner in this dedicated space, cooking side-by-side with Italian Nonnas and enjoying a wonderfully interactive, heartfelt Christmas experience that feels straight out of an Italian family home.
And throughout it all, the atmosphere stays lively and authentic thanks to live Italian music filling the space—setting the perfect mood for a truly memorable festive season.
