Scalini — Restaurant in Doha

Scalini, the staircase to my heart

If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine with exceptional service and the feel that you're in no less than Italy itself, then this is the place for you.

Our dinner began with complimentary Italian antipasto including bread, olive oil & balsamic vinegar, tomato bruschetta, parmesan and green olives. We sat outdoors, the weather and ambience was great, with 7 star service.

Later, we enjoyed two pizzas, the classic margherita and the siciliana (ideal for eggplant lovers!). Both were out of this world in terms of flavor and texture. Definitely a must try.

Afterwards came our main dishes: Petto di pollo with mushroom sauce, tortellini gorgonzola e asapargi (a crowd pleaser with its creamy goodness) , gnocchi al pesto and gnocchi della Nonna alla sorrentina. Their pasta is homemade, and the gnocchi literally melts in your mouth. We were all happy with our dishes, as each carried its own uniqueness and exquisite taste.

Considering the occasion of my mother’s birthday, we ended our meal with tiramisu in song and celebration as the whole staff came to sing with us.

Truly a wonderful experience; I’d recommend to everyone! Thank you so...

We visited Scalini Doha during our first trip to the city, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay—and such a special way to celebrate our anniversary. The vibe was spot on: elegant but relaxed, perfect for a memorable night out. But what really stood out was the service—easily one of the best we’ve experienced anywhere. The team was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind without ever being intrusive. Huge thanks to Giulia and Lactao, who were absolute stars and made the evening feel personal and effortless. And the food… wow. The truffle pasta was next-level—rich, creamy, and totally unforgettable. The mushroom risottowas just as amazing—so flavorful and comforting. Big shoutout to Chef Stefano—you can really taste the love and skill in every dish. made us feel so welcome and celebrated. It’s the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. We can’t wait...

My first visit and won’t be my last 😊 I had dinner last night with the girls. The place has a very nice atmosphere and the whole staff was very friendly. We were advised to sit in the outside garden and it looked very appealing but due to weather conditions we preferred to sit inside and it was just as good!!! The food was so good we dug in before we got the chance to take any pictures 😋😅 we had 4 sharing starters; the Burrata cheese, zucchini fries, Avocado Caldo, Parmigiana 🤤 as for the main dish each one went for a different dish and we had 2 to share 😂 I guess going as a group has its advantage !!! I loved my dish Paglia e Fieno Duca Diacono !!! A tagliatelle with mushrooms, asparagus, shrimps and mozzarella 😘 the dessert was yummy … the one I got would be good for sharing, the Semifreddo ai tre Cioccolati 😍 with a cup of cappuccino ☕️ to finish the meal in...
