Bringing a wealth of culinary inspiration to Riyadh from some of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy, La Cucina’s Chef Claudio Melis keeps his menu interesting by developing sophisticated flavour profiles that resonate with today’s savvy diners.  “I use uncomplicated, straightforward cooking techniques that preserve the true flavours of our quality ingredients, many of which we bring directly from Italy,” he said.

Every day, the bustling, open kitchen at La Cucina offers flavoursome and deliciously healthy dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chef Claudio recently introduced some of the most famous Italian pasta dishes on a weekly basis through “i classici,” the Chef’s daily specials. For example, on Sundays try ricotta and spinach Ravioli with fresh tomato sauce, on Mondays the hand cut Fettuccine with wild mushrooms sauce or the renowned Wednesday’s La Cucina Spaghetti with Lobster, a feast for the palette!

The ultra-fashionable La Cucina, in Al Faisaliah Hotel- South, is one of the trendiest restaurants in Riyadh. The contemporary, sophisticated design of the restaurant combined with the innovative, modern Italian cuisine of Sardinian Chef Claudio and the renowned Al Faisaliah service are the ingredients for a delightful dining experience in La Cucina.

"A delightful continental buffet with Italian and international specialties are the perfect start to your day at this restaurant in the morning", said Melis, adding that the breakfast is served between 6 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. Moreover, the guests can also try the authentic Italian buffet on lunch with any of the chef’s specialty pasta dishes, main courses or pizza. The lunch timings are between 12.30 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. for buffet or a la carte menu.

In a city that gracefully melds tradition with sophisticated style, this restaurant is one of the favourite dining destination at Al Faisaliah Hotel, a Rosewood Hotel. This hotel offers the best facilities, which has no parallel in the capital city today. The ultra-luxury hotel's dedicated 24-hour butler service, offered to all guests, has elevated the art of personal service to new levels in the Middle East.

Situated in Riyadh's Olaya district, the peerless hotel boasts the largest column-free ballroom in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as six distinct award-winning restaurants, including  "The Globe" and the new La Cucina, that delight visitors and locals alike. The property's stunning new wing, Al Faisaliah Hotel-South, blends international contemporary luxury with a hint of local design throughout its exceptionally spacious five-star accommodations.
