The Kingsbury Invites Colombo to Spend "A Few Hours in Italy"

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - July 23, 2026 - PRLog -- Italian cuisine is one of the world's most celebrated culinary traditions, yet beyond familiar pizzas and pasta, many of its most beloved regional dishes remain largely undiscovered by local diners. This June, The Kingsbury's Sky Lounge aims to change that with "A Few Hours in Italy", a new dining experience that brings together authentic Italian recipes, regional specialities and the expertise of a chef who spent nearly two decades immersed in the country's food culture.

Leading the experience is Chef Brayan, whose 17 years in Italy have shaped a menu inspired by the dishes Italians actually cherish. Guests can discover everything from Ravioli Croccanti di Ossobuco and Prosciutto di Parma con Melone to Fettuccine al Ragù d'Agnello, Risotto ai Funghi di Bosco e Essenza di Tartufo Nero, and the standout Guancia di Manzo, a Northern Italian classic where beef cheek is slowly braised in red wine until it reaches its famously tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The menu also celebrates Italy's coastal heritage through dishes such as Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare and Gamberoni alla Griglia, while timeless desserts, including Tiramisù Classico, Cannoli con Crema di Ricotta and Panna Cotta alle Fragole, complete the experience.

What makes A Few Hours in Italy particularly distinctive is its setting. Rather than recreating a traditional trattoria, The Kingsbury has brought the experience to Sky Lounge, widely regarded as one of the best rooftop bars in Colombo, where authentic Italian flavours meet handcrafted cocktails and panoramic city views.

Available daily from 5.00 p.m. onwards, A Few Hours in Italy is a rare opportunity to experience the flavours, stories and traditions of Italy through the hands of a chef who lived them, making it one of Colombo's most exciting new dining experiences this season.
