Rossopomodoro
I best enjoy a restaurant when I know what to expect of its cuisine so a little search about Rossopomodoro introduced me further to Naples, the home city of this restaurant, where pizza originated.

Pizza Roma
Pizza Roma is the best Italian restaurant I’ve tried so far in Riyadh. This is a bold claim but what can I say? There’s no truer truth than that, at least according to my taste. I would like to attribute that claim to the food alone but I know that food is not the sole [...]
