Bringing the conviviality and high-octane spirit of Italy to the Kingdom each weekend, Il Baretto Riyadh has launched its Saturday brunch experience. Focused on sumptuous cuisine inspired by Italy’s 20 regions and the European spirit for bringing loved ones together, the weekend affair offers Il Baretto’s signature a la carte offering with some new brunch classics. Brunchgoers are welcomed into a joyous atmosphere in the restaurant’s stylish KAFD venue, complete with a live band bringing Italian spirit to the Kingdom.
Italian favorites and Il Baretto classics feature on the menu, with starters including the favorite Beef Carpaccio with black truffle, Burrata di Andria and Seabream Ceviche. Adding a touch of Iberian flair, other dishes include Homemade Mini Tacos with wagyu tartare and spicy mayo and glistening fried Patatas Bravas. Those looking for a nourishing start to the weekend will relish in salads like Artichokes and French Beans and Cocktail di Gamberi (prawn cocktail) while traditionalists can feast on classic brunch dishes like Eggs Benedict, Eggs Royale and Uova al Tartufo – truffle scrambled eggs with homemade sourdough toast.
Diners can also partake in the Italian lunchtime tradition of Tramezzino, with a selection of toasted serves, including the Salmone e Avocado, Tramezzino al Tartufo and the signature homemade Baretto Burger. No Italian festa is complete without pizzas, and a selection of pizzas are served throughout the brunch – cooked to order in Il Baretto’s wood-fired oven. Il Baretto Riyadh is famed for its homemade pasta, and brunch-goers will be delighted at a tantalizing menu of Ravioli Ossobuco, Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, Gnocchi four cheese and a special Mezzi Paccheri in creamy three tomato sauce. For something hearty and comforting, there’s Veal Milanese and tender Filetto al Pepe Verde.
Il Baretto Riyadh’s roast will also be served on the weekend brunch, a favorite for bringing loved ones together and celebrating in style. The famed Costata di Wagyu (whole wagyu roast rib eye) is a favourite, served with grilled vegetables and peppercorn sauce. The Josper Grill is also put to the test with a fragrant whole Marinated Seabass – the perfect sharer. Diners can finish with a choice of decadent pastries and desserts – truly bringing la dolce vita to Riyadh. The famous Tiramisu Is a crowd pleaser, while Crème Brûlée and Cioccolato e Praline also feature. Sweet-toothed brunchers will also delight in dishes like homemade brioche with mixed berry salad and Greek yoghurt, and fluffy French toast.
Il Baretto Riyadh welcomes diners in its stylish dining room and out on the sun-soaked terrace – perfect for enjoying the winter mornings.
