We enjoyed this restaurant and would definitely return. It is good Italian at a fair (local) price. They bring complimentary bread and marinara, which is always nice.Margarita Pizza- we liked the pizza. The crust was amazing, from texture to flavor. Many crusts lack salt but this one had great seasoning. Due to the thin crust, make sure this is not your only order.Funghi Risotto- the risotto was decent and quite large.4 Cheese Gnocchi- the gnocchi was very good. It was actually light and fluffy. The sauce was delicious and had this dried fruit that added an interesting flair.

I visited the restaurant on a work launch break with my colleagues.They were very committed to the precautions of covid-19 which is always good.The staff was very welcoming and the manager oversees the service and was so hospitable, he was so excited to hear this was our first visit to the restaurant, he offered us a dessert, it was delicious and it was a nice ending to our mealAs for the atmosphere, the decor is good nothing fancy, we enjoyed the music; it definitely reflects the Italian vibe. I can imagine the experience would be different at night at the outdoor tables.We tried the launch offer, it was a good price.As for the food:The bread basket and complimentary sauce is so delicious.Personally I was expecting the pizza margarita would be better, it was dry.We had the Caesar salad, it was good nothing fancy. The quinoa salad comes with minimal seasoning, you can add olive oil or balsamic dressing offered at the table.The fettuccine was good as well, is what you expect this dish to taste like.I would come again to explore the menu more.

Good place, seating, atmosphere, delicious fresh bread, great firewood naked pizza.. but the olive oil was rancid, soup was canned I suppose. I would come again for the place and great service, not so much the food, but then again, they stepped up to their name and I didnt try the pasta, salads, or desserts.

What a delightful experience. Located in a high end plaza with other restaurants. Food was excellent. Fresh bread with compliments and a tasty tomatoes dip. The Salmon and Avocado starter was huge and the Pizza with homemade beef sausage was incredibly delicious. Finished it off with the Creme Brulee - awesome dish. Good value for money as well. Definitely worth several visits.

Really nice ambiance and decor, right down to the bathrooms. Start you off with a complimentary bread basket and a warm tomato sauce, a more spiced version of a marina sauce. Their choice of bruschetta is quite nice as is the overall menu. Good Italian food based on good ingredients.

The interior was very dull to be honest, it doesn’t reflect the quality of the place. I wasn’t very thrilled about the experience because of how it looked but when we sat down the whole experience shifted. Service was phenomenal and the food was very delicious! 👍🏼 I’d definitely come back again

Really one of the best Italian restaurants in Riyadh. The waiters and their service are outstanding, they are very nice and friendly. All the dishes that we ordered was very delicious specially the pizza. They have a fun game when you pay, you have to guess a number from 1 - 90, if the waiter got the same number you guessed, your food will be for FREE.We ordered:Margherita pizzaPepperoni pizzaPenne Pollo (Fettuccine with chicken)Rucola salad (Normal)Melanz Fungh (eggplant dish)Cream bruleeDrinks:1 Saudi champagn2 CocaCola2 Cappuccino1 Italiano1 Caramel macchiatoThe price was almost 430 SR.

Very nice and cosy restaurant in Riyadh, serving delicious and real Italian food. Stefano is a great chef and he always has some out of the menu delicious surprise to suggest. Difficult to say which is the best dish here: pasta is great, but also pizzas are very good and tasty too, not to mention the deserts. But if you like the deep fried food, try the paranza and you wont be let down!

I have always visited this place for business lunch and found it excellent on every visit but my iftar experience was even better! The amount of food they serve in their Ramadan deal is too much. All fresh and perfect for sharing.For the service they deserve 10/10.Mr. Sameh (Manager on duty) over looked everything himself.He really knows what he is doing & he makes sure that guests leave satisfied.

Delicious food, great service. I love Margherita Pizzeria, it is my go to Italian restaurant in Lebanon, I was so excited to learn that it has opened here in Riyadh, and they did not fail my high expectations of them, serving me and my family awesome Italian cuisine. The chef was also very nice to approach our table, to ask us to specify details of one of the dishes we have chosen, which turned out to taste exquisitely delicious. And the location is perfect.

I came here for dessert, friendly staff and quite welcoming. We came at an awkward time so very few customers. We did enjoy the desserts though, the panna cotta was very good and the profiteroles were filled with ice cream. One note would be that the chocolate sauce for the profiteroles felt artificial, potentially store bought? If they change that, it would greatly improve the dessert. I would come back for dinner and definitely the panna cotta!

I think this is the best Italian restaurant I have been tried in Riyadh so farThe food is outstanding and delicious and it feels original and passionately cookedOne of the exceptional dishes we ordered is the salad that has gout cheese in it . The ravioli pasta was great alsoThe staff was professional and welcoming especially the waiter Cristian who helped us in choosing from the very sophisticated and complex names of Italian dishesWe will definitely visit this restaurant again and again and we will try another dishes and we strongly recommend it for Italian food lovers
