Where We Are Going Today: ‘Pastamamma' — Italian dining in Riyadh
Located in Riyadh Park Mall, Pastamamma offers a refined Italian dining experience. The polished yet relaxed ambiance sets the stage for a good hearty meal, making it an ideal spot for those seeking fine dining. The starters show a thoughtful attention to detail. The grilled aubergine and hummus salad stands out, with its smoky honey-glazed aubergine paired perfectly with creamy homemade chickpea hummus and a tangy mango dressing. In addition, the grilled garlic prawns and rocket salad is fresh and vibrant, a great way to whet the appetite without being heavy. The pasta truly is the star here as the fresh black truffle fettuccine alfredo is an indulgent treat with creamy and fragrant taste topped with tender slices of chicken. The quattro formaggi casarecce with crispy bresaola offers a great mix of textures and flavors, though the richness might feel overwhelming for those preferring lighter fare. For spice lovers, the trottole arrabbiata with chorizo adds a pleasant kick without overpowering the palate. On the grill, the chicken alla Milanese and grilled flank steak are executed well. The grilled salmon and prawns are equally impressive, cooked just right and complemented by vibrant sauces. Sides like herbed potatoes and grilled vegetables provide a nice balance to the steaks. Desserts like the strawberry and thyme panna cotta are refreshing, while the gelato trio offers a satisfying sweet finish. Drinks such as the yuzu and kiwi lemonade bring a bright, zesty something and are not to be missed. That said, Pastamamma leans toward the pricey side, reflecting its fine dining status. A meal for two can easily reach around SR500. While portions are generous, the overall experience might not fit every budget.
