Food is art Contemporary setting for food and modern art lovers
NOI is an Italian restaurant located adjacent to the Lobby where flavorful cuisine and modern art hold hands because… food is art. While traditional Italian restaurants conjure images of brick walls and dimly lit spaces illuminated by red and white checkered tablecloths, NOI emerges on the scene with a completely new concept.
With its double height ceiling and modern design, NOI is the symbol of contemporary art. The space is predominately white with gold accents punctuated by a colorful wraparound wall mural more than 3 meters high that tells the history of humanity with the word PEACE as the focal point above the fabulous show kitchen.
NOI is open for dinner.
Awe-inspiring dishes with Italian-infused charm
At NOI, guests can expect exquisite fare including fresh pastas, pizzas, risottos and a culinary journey around Italy creating an experience of the highest level.
The innovative flair of chefs’ techniques presented in a contemporary restaurant design lend themselves to an artfully delicious experience for all guests. The colorful mix of aromas and flavors created with the highest quality ingredients deliver a superior taste in every dish. Chefs reach beyond traditional recipes and present a menu of regional specialties from each region in a setting where culinary creativity intersects with art.
