Prepare to lick your forks clean.

KAFD’s beloved Italian eatery Il Baretto is bringing back its iconic jazz night.

That’s right, the white-table cloth restaurant is doing the next edition of the classy Il Baretto candlelight jazz night.

The sophisticated evening will be dripping in chord progression, collective improvisation, and of course the signature flavors of the restaurant.

Softly lit and scored by flowing tunes, the one-night only evening is set to be the talk of the uber-popular financial district this weekend.

Il Baretto made its mark in London back in 2008 with a no-fuss, flavor-packed Italian menu inspired by regional classics — all thanks to Italian restaurateur Giuliano Lotto and co-founder Arjun Waney. Fast forward to November 2021, and Il Baretto Riyadh brought that same Mediterranean magic to the King Abdullah Financial District, becoming the first restaurant to open in the award-winning area. It’s where London charm meets modern Riyadh vibes, all served with a side of seriously good Italian food.

Get ready for a night of smooth jazz and sensational bites as Il Baretto Riyadh brings back its candlelit live music evening for the second year! An international jazz band will set the mood while you dive into their brand-new spring menu—think zingy marinated tuna, cozy minestrone, creamy cacio e pepe, and a showstopping 2.5kg lamb shoulder made to share. Sip on luxe zero-proof drinks from the zero bar, and the best part? No minimum spend—just good vibes, great food, and unforgettable music.

Food and Riyadh

Riyadh’s dining scene is evolving with each passing day. The five-star property Four Seasons Riyadh Kingdom Tower just welcomed Saudi’s first-ever Tonic Bar with an all-female bar team. There is also the newly opened, mixed-use lifestyle destination Zallal Diriyah for you to explore.

Fri May 9, from 8.30pm. KAFD, ilbaretto.sa.
