Experience the essence of an Italian summertime in Saudi with Il Baretto’s curated One Italian Summer dining menu. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant culinary traditions of the Amalfi Coast, One Italian Summer features a series of mouthwatering, seasonally-inspired dishes, which will ensure your summer holidays don’t stop just because it’s September.
Italians are well known for both their love of food and their passion in creating exquisite dishes using only the very best ingredients, and Il Baretto now brings the experience of this extraordinary dining tradition to Riyadh.
The menu features delicious, simple and authentic dishes each especially crafted from regional Italian produce, meaning there’s a taste of the Amalfi Coast with every bite.
Some of our favourite dishes include the Insalata di Polipo – a delicately grilled octopus salad; Panzanella – Tuscan cherry tomato salad with cherry, red onion, cucumber, basil, bread croutons and Buffalo mozzarella; Zuppa di Zucchine – a refreshing, cold courgette soup with basil, Buffalo mozzarella, ricotta and walnuts; and for dessert, the creamy vanilla millefeuille.
To wash it all down, order the Fruitini cocktail or the artistic Gianni Politi, which is inspired by the creativity of the Roma Roma Roma painting hanging in the restaurant’s main dining room. Served alongside the restaurant’s regular à la carte menu, you can dip and dive into any dish you fancy, all served against the restaurant’s cosy yet contemporary backdrop, with its leather banquette seats, black and white photos adorning the walls, and lively service that matches the feel-good vibes of your Italian summer vacation.
