Bedour ✨November 26, 2014It isn't one of the best Italian restaurants but they due offer brick oven pizza which is deliciousss! Also, a nice terrace overlooking Olaya St.
Jarallah AlghizziSeptember 1, 2014The caesar salad could use less dressing, but their Angus Beef - with the Mushroom sauce- is delicious. We also loved their La Vela Cocktail. The patio seating is very nice; too bad tonight was dusty.
M 👑December 1, 2013The desserts were delicious. Furthermore, a fabulous view that overlooking Tahlia ST and the Narses Hotel which makes it amazing.However,we were waiting about 10 mins for the menu so the service was👎
Maria Arshad-OsmanNovember 24, 2014Best Pesto Gnocchi in town! The atmosphere is so nice! Can't beat outdoor seating with nice breezy fall weather.
fettuccine with salmon (white sauce) special order just tell him give me akk's favourite dish
yara AAugust 27, 2014for appetizer try the cheese stuffed mushroom and for main course try the pizza with four kinds of cheese ( I'm not sure about their names in the menu) but they were good👍
Loulwa لولوةFebruary 25, 2015Delicious italian food! Nice setting & atmosphere! But service is slow& bad :tables had bird poop and waiter didnt see to clean. Worth a visit once....
💚🍋 SAM الاهتمام🌺 حبAugust 22, 2013I have beautiful memories in this romantic restaurant spicaly at the luxury mall I prefer the coffee shop there more then cousin try Fondo ' with brown choco
AlMaha GOctober 10, 2013Tortellini is CRRRRAZY good😍! Mushroom risotto as well -if you like risotto 👼-. Only downside is that they didn't let us dine outside !
Orjwan SleemMarch 4, 2015The ambience is nice.. overcrowded... but it's nice to actually find a restaurant with a terrace for families here in Riyadh.. had the chicken with rosemary was good
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimMay 30, 2015Forever been a favorite❤️ when craving gnocchi, don't think of another place❤️ amazing carpaccio also❤️
Hala. AKSeptember 21, 2013Porcini Fettuccine ! Perfect with extra cheese and for sure without mushroom! ✋
Quattro Stagioni (Four Seasons Pizza) and Insalata Rocca (Rocket Salad) are great.
Ashwag BandarDecember 30, 2012Lounge have perfect view for "Tahliah" street, good coffee but not the best. Great fresh salad bar, pizza, sandwiches.
A.March 29, 2014I love this place in winter weather or spring😻 you'll enjoying the weather while your're drinking ur coffee💆☕❤
Closed .October 17, 2013The place is not bad .. chicken with mashroom sauce is delicious & don't forget the Saudi shampain :p
Abdullah AlibrahimNovember 17, 2012Fettuccine ai Funghi Porcini is a great chose & waiting for an outdoor table is totally worth it.
KiwikatJanuary 5, 2014Love coming here for a cuppa and dessert....having the fondatta..but bit on the burnt side- A.March 29, 2014Actually I dont remember what did we ordered but their pasta and pizza was really great.. the service was not good enough .. great view 👌💜💜
Rana 🎼July 31, 2013Amazing place, food is delicious, I cant have enough of their fettucini sooo yummy 😍
Ghazi Al-DajaniSeptember 16, 2013First time in LaVela , I tried waffle. The place good and quite , but the food worse then I though.
Leslie MonchinMarch 29, 2013Spinach and mushroom ravioli was delish. Penne arrabiata was so-so. Try to get a seat on the outside.
Nora Mohammad AlketheriFebruary 23, 2015Their pizzas are ok, risottos are under expectations. Not recommended 5/10 the 5 is just for the nice outdoor terrace seatings ✋
Not sure why the bad reviews . Place is decent , but over priced true . Pastas and pizza are average .Try the veil limone piccata and the onion soup . Seating are appealing . Service is average though
Abdulrahman ANovember 12, 2013We tried four seasons pizza and cream soup it was fantastic but the pasta (n) not good at all . 7/10
Mohammed Bin AbdulazizJanuary 28, 2013The only missing thing is some mind relaxing Music ,Like "And I love you so" by Don Mclean ❤
One of the few good places you can visit in Riyadh. Worth the visit.
Abdurrahman Bin FehaidDecember 10, 2013It was the first time and will be the last to be here.. The Italian cuisine is missed from this restaurant..
Fuat ŞahinJanuary 15, 2015They have a terrace that means i can smoke my cigar. Even that is something
Amenah MJanuary 28, 2013الجلسه جميله الأكل أقل من عادي .. Lovely atmosphere..specially the outside setting area..however the food not that good at all
Diya S.March 22, 2015Very bad service. The table was dirty, the waiter wiped it off with tissue papers & it smelled. Janitors were dragging trash bags next to us. We received our orders after 45mins & the food sucked.
Rayed AlrashedSeptember 23, 2013Breakfast was below average, and way over priced, the only reason to come is to dine in the open area, not coming again for sure.
tota aMay 24, 2015The worst restaurant ever .. Pricy for its low quality .. Even cafe latte is latterly .. Nescafe !! And their chocolate cookies is chocolate biscuits !!
