It's time to grab a slice of fun and food at Spirito in Riyadh. Located in Al Malqa, the new Italian restaurant offers New York-style pizzas. So, if you're hungry for a sleek spot, put this one on your radar.
Spirito in Riyadh draws inspiration from New York, where the pizzas are often made with thin crusts and cut into wide slices. If you're suffering from food indecision, you can order whole pizzas and by the slice.
The menu includes a Brisket Pizza, Burrata Pizza, Margherita Pizza and Pesto Pizza. The menu also includes a special gluten-free section, and the pizzas come in 12-inch sizes. Sides and dips include potatoes with a sauce, and options span cheddar cheese, ranch and truffle. The dessert menu currently only includes one option, which is a Classic Tiramisu.
Spirito in Riyadh's design is muted and minimalist. There are black and white tiles on the floor, grey walls with mirrors, and white tabletops. Take your pick from the brown banquettes, which are lining the walls, to the black counter top stools, where you can watch the chefs at work.
If you can stand the heat, we'd recommend sitting near the kitchen. It's a superb spot for some Insta-worthy content, as you can see chefs spinning the dough on their fingers and tossing it in the air – all with a smile on their face.

Tanweer Festival returns to Mleiha in November

Visionary leadership At the heart of Tanweer Festival is the visionary leadership of Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, whose passion for cultural dialogue, spiritual growth, and sustainability inspired the festival's creation. Driven by a belief in the transformative power of music, nature, and shared experiences, Sheikha Bodour envisioned Tanweer as a platform that transcends borders, connects communities, and nurtures a deeper understanding of our shared humanity. Ambitious second edition Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi recently commented, 'We are thrilled to bring Tanweer Festival back for its second edition, and this time, it's even more ambitious, immersive, and meaningful. Last year's debut was just the beginning of a journey that resonated deeply with so many people, and this year we are building on that foundation with a richer programme, stronger sustainability practices, and an even more powerful message of unity. I truly can't wait to welcome our growing community back to the Mleiha desert to continue this journey together.' Embracing the theme This year, Tanweer Festival, which translates to the festival of enlightenment, embraces the theme of 'What you Seek Is Seeking You,' a famous quote from Rumi, the 13th-century poet and mystic whose work transcends cultures, religions, and generations. Through music and poetry, Rumi encouraged people to explore the depths of our inner selves, reconnect with the natural world, and find unity in diversity, values that lie at the very heart of Tanweer. Curated festival grounds The festival grounds are carefully curated to reflect its holistic ethos. The Main Stage will be a multisensory arena with ambient lighting, ancestral music, and mountain-side projections. The Dome acts as the heart of community learning, hosting discussions and workshops, while the Tree of Life serves as a serene space for gathering and reflection. Nourish, the festival's culinary hub, offers organic, farm-to-table dishes including vegan, vegetarian, and traditional Bedouin-style BBQs. The Marketplace features handpicked artisans offering unique handcrafted items, while immersive art installations transform the desert into an open-air gallery. Commitment to sustainability Sustainability remains a non-negotiable pillar of Tanweer Festival. It is a no single-use plastic event with a dedicated reuse and recycle strategy, green waste composting, and zero-waste food and beverage services. Sustainability education will be woven throughout the festival, setting a new standard for eco-conscious cultural events in the region. With a 'leave no trace' approach, Tanweer ensures that its footprint is minimal, proving that large-scale gatherings can be deeply respectful of the land that hosts them. A Movement for connection Returning with a more dynamic and expressive identity, the second edition of Tanweer is a chance for individuals to step into the desert once more, giving them the opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and realign through the universal language of music. This is more than a festival; it is a movement for those who seek deeper meaning, community, and beauty in a world too often divided. Experience the magic Don't miss the Tanweer Festival 2025 and get ready to experience a mystical arena where the desert sings, the soul listens, and enlightenment awaits.

There's a new Italian café in Abu Dhabi and it's impossibly chic

There's a new reason to visit Saadiyat Island (as if we needed one) and it smells like espresso and tastes like la dolce vita. Café Ginori has officially opened at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, and it's nothing short of a love letter to Italian elegance, fine craftsmanship and timeless style. This isn't your average café. As soon as you step into Café Ginori, you can expect to enjoy a fully immersive experience that pays tribute to the incredible heritage of Ginori 1735 porcelain (yes, that's almost 300 years of history), housed within one of Abu Dhabi's most iconic luxury resorts. Designed with flair and a dash of whimsy, the space is decked out with bold elements from Ginori's Domus home décor line. We're talking vibrant Oriente Italiano wallpaper, plush bespoke cushions, and beautiful custom-designed seating. It's a visual feast even before the food arrives so make sure you come ready to take some snaps. Speaking of food, the menu is a standout. Curated by the café's so-called 'Master of Plating' (yes, really), it's a modern ode to Italian classics. Expect artisanal pastries, vibrant antipasti, and really good espresso. Each dish is as beautiful as it is delicious, so prepare to be fed and wowed. Whether you're popping in for a quick cappuccino or lingering over a long, luxurious brunch, this spot is all about capturing the spirit of allegria – that uniquely Italian joy of life, flavour and design. So next time you find yourself on Saadiyat Island, make a detour to Café Ginori. It's where Mediterranean café culture meets St. Regis glamour – with a generous swirl of porcelain charm. If you need a refresher on The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, this a 5-star hotel on the shores of Saadiyat Island with 376 guest rooms. The resort offers three outdoor pools and a 25-meter indoor lap pool at The St. Regis Athletic Club. There's also the award-winning The Spa at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort and, of course, lots more dining options: Olea: All-Day Dining Sontaya: South East Asian Lemoni Garden by Sontaya: Rooftop Bar Mazi Abu Dhabi: Modern Greek The Manhattan Lounge: Bar and Lounge Buddha-Bar Beach Abu Dhabi: Pacific Rim Cuisine To book please call +971 2 498 8443 or email
