Service was a bit slow, it seemed busy at the time I went which was dinner time 7:30 pm. I ordered an avacado salad, pizza, and truffle pasta. I was expecting more avacado in my salad since it was the main ingredient, flavor was decent. When my pizza came it was cooked well. I have to say it tast very authentic to pizza from Italy. My truffle pasts was delicious and I enjoyed the thinly sliced truffles. I was so full i couldn't order dessert but I am assuming if my meal was impressive I am sure the Tiramisu will be too. The ambiance gave me italian vibe for sure and I really enjoyed the music that was playing. This place has a romantic setting, also a great location to celebrate special occasions to have authentic italian cuisine with authentic flavors. I will definitely come back to experience lunch along with dessert.Highly recommend this italian restaurant for a fine dining. Until next time,Ciao!
The food was truly amazing. Staff are the best. We tried pizza, a risotto, and two types of pasta (one arabiata). Whatever you get there, you must try their tiramisu ❤️ loved the atmosphere and location. You have to reserve in advance. Must try in Riyadh

I booked the restaurant for a celebration of a birthday I was called and advised that I only had the table for two hours and did I know the restaurants policies ! Should have guessed what it was going to be to be like. We arrived , no greeting We were offered various tables. No music playing and it wasn’t prayer timings. We were sat at a table with a very dirty wall next to us. The waiter advised us that the food would arrive as it was ready. He was actually very good. Everything started to arrive in minutes so we would have been in and out in 30 minutes had we not sent the main courses back as we were still digesting the appetizers. The manager came over and explained yet more policies and that our food had now been held for long enough and would spoil if it was kept any longer. Stupidly I thought the Mandarin Oriental restaurants would have cooked the food fresh for us ! NO … happy to give us cold food . I told the manger that we wouldn’t return to the restaurant ….. it’s the policy and we were told it would be delivered as ready. Very customer focused ! If you want a fast food experience at 20 times the price then this is the place for you. I won’t be going back
