For those seeking a sophisticated and luxe dining experience in Riyadh, look no further than the Italian-French restaurant Mamo Michelangelo.
Mamo serves up a wide array of hearty options, including rich and creamy Napoli burrata, tender lamb shoulder baked in a wood-fired oven, succulent chicken, and house specialties such as truffle focaccia and truffle raviolinis.
We tried risotto al tartufo (aged acquerello rice), burrata pugliese, carpaccio di manzo, margherita pizza, and aged angus ribeye which is charcoal grilled.
You can complete your dining experience with their traditional tiramisu or tantalizing lemon tart.
Additionally, they offer a range of pastries, tea and finger foods.
Mamo’s interior design boasts a modern yet classic decor, with high ceilings, chandeliers, and marble floors.
The lighting is soft and subtle, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. The walls are adorned with paintings and artwork, adding to the sophisticated ambiance.
The restaurant’s standout feature is the open kitchen, where diners can watch the chefs prepare their meals, for a more personal and interactive experience.
In 1992 chef Mamo Pepino created the Michelangelo behind the city walls of Antibes. It became well-known for serving dishes capturing the flavors of the South of France and Italy.
Pepino reportedly describes himself as an artist who loves cooking and Mediterranean culture.
