Roma Restaurant, Library Branch - مطعم روما فرع المكتبة — Restaurant in Municipality of Olaya

Italians do it better as they say and this new find doesn’t disappoint. You could be mistaken for being in Cecconis or the bar at Scott’s in Mayfair. If James Bond was in Riyadh this is where he would come to sip his non alcoholic Martini. The service is impeccable. The Maitre D’ is a gentleman personified, the waiters are polite and efficient. This is how a restaurant should be run in Riyadh. The design and location fits perfectly with the modern King Fahad library it is part of. Charlie Chaplin films playing silently on one wall with a mix of different materials makes this one of the most stylish in town. As for the food, the freshly cooked bread with tomato and olive garnish is perfect. The salad with mozzarella spot on. My lasagna was cooked perfectly although a little too much sauce around it for my liking but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

Highly recommend Roma and if you’re lucky enough to have Ram as your server, you’re in for an...

I'd give this place 3.5 stars. The atmosphere is pretty nice. Staff was friendly. The service was great. The food was pretty good too, but I wouldn't say great. Above average for Riaydh, buy also far from authentic. The pizza is one of the better pizza places in town. The other downside is price. It is a little pricey here, but nothing outlandish compared to some other places I've been too. If you want pizza, this is definitely a good place to try. I also had the creme brulee which was really good, but they don't torch the sugar when you order, so it's missing that super crunch on the top layer. Overall my experience was great and I will...
