👍👍 Hands down the best Italian restaurant I've ever tried in Khobar. Super authentic concept with very carefully curated dishes. Alberto was exceptionally kind and helpful to us. Service was top notch, we were asked multiple times if food was up to our standards, and let me say, they sure surprised us... People often mention experience, Italian, restaurant,

    Hands down the best Italian restaurant I've ever tried in Khobar. Super authentic concept with very carefully curated dishes. Alberto was exceptionally kind and helpful to us. Service was top notch, we were asked multiple times if food was up to our standards, and let me say, they sure surprised us with the quality, presentation and taste of the food. Will definitely be back again to bring family and friends. Thank you so much! Honored to have been one of the first clients to try your restaurant.

    ILFIGO, located in Khobar City Walk, Al Khobar, is an Italian culinary haven that promises an unforgettable experience. Stepping into the warm ambiance, I was welcomed by the charismatic Chef Lorenzo, a native of Roma, whose passion for life translates seamlessly into his dishes. The evening began with a personal tour of the kitchen, setting the tone for what was to come. The effort that Chef Lorenzo put into guiding us through the menu took our experience to a whole new level. It kicked off with the 'Truffle Risotto,' a masterpiece that deserves a perfect 10/10 rating. The marriage of truffle mushrooms, tender chicken, and creamy risotto inside a wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano was nothing short of exquisite. The flavours were really brought into its own thanks to the cheese, and the Parmigiano Reggiano shell added a unique spectacle. At SR. 88, this dish offers remarkable value and a bit of theatre. Next, the 'Penne Pesto' showcased Chef Lorenzo's dedication to freshness and taste. The combination of al dente penne, vibrant pesto sauce, succulent chicken, sundried tomatoes, and crunchy walnuts was an explosion of flavours. Priced at SR. 74, it was a standout choice that celebrated the essence of Italian cuisine. The 'Crispy Calamari' arrived as a delightful interlude, marinated in milk and fried till golden and served with zesty Lemon Mayo. While the tenderness and crispiness were commendable, a slightly more generous portion would have elevated the experience further. At SR. 64, it left a pleasant taste but a desire for more. The 'Parmigiana' pizza followed suit, boasting a light, crispy crust adorned with grilled eggplant, burrata, and Parmesan. This creation, priced at SR. 80, showcased Chef Lorenzo's finesse in balancing flavours, resulting in a sophisticated yet comforting dish. A point to note, their pizzas are award winning so don’t miss out on ordering yourself a winner. Finally, the 'Amalfi Lemon Tart' rounded off the culinary adventure. While priced at SR. 49, the creamy lemon tart with Italian meringue was a refreshing treat. The only hiccup was a slightly inconsistent base, but it did little to overshadow the overall delightful experience. Throughout the evening, our server Gerard and the rest of the staff were not only attentive but also exuded warmth. Their hospitality further enriched our anniversary dinner, leaving us with cherished memories. This experience was made possible by the recommendation of 'Alex Lacoangeli,' and for that, we're immensely grateful. ILFIGO, under the skilled guidance of Chef Lorenzo, proved to be a gem of a restaurant, where passion meets culinary artistry. A visit to this Italian haven is not just a meal; it's an experience that beckons you back for more.

    The crispy calamari and truffle risotto are definite highlights. The veggie pizza was also good. The restaurant, with its beautiful interior and attentive service, truly transported me to Italy. I believe the chef is Italian. Highly recommended!

    Excellent service and good food! The staff are very cooperative when I told them I want to celebrate my friend's graduation! Even though they can't play a music; but they did their best to make her happy and surprise her. Generally I liked my experience and will definitely come back again! 💛

    As a tiramisu enthusiast, i ordered only tiramisu for take out.. and for an Italian restaurant, let’s just say i expected more. First things first, the temperature wasn’t cold at all (not a huge minus) but it’s the way i personally prefer it. Second the mascarpone cheese itself was mixed with a lot of what i suspect to be whipped cream or whatever else that makes the flavor very thinned out.. real bummer. It should be stiff enough to hold its shape and have this nice little tangy flavor and fluffy texture like the nicest pillow. Next, which is tbh an amateur’s technical error, the ladyfingers texture was not consistent, some were super soggy the others were super hard (look up the pictures). Such an odd experience. This dessert is easy to make and easy to assemble, so excuse my rather dry review but i just don’t get it. The search for a good tiramisu continues… Side note: the vibes & service were really nice, there was a guy who played guitar and sang a little bit. It would be fun to have a dinner there.

    The food was delicious but not as authentic as in Italy. The staff were unfriendly, but I enjoyed the restaurant's atmosphere and design. The prices were high.
