Da Pino's

Da Pino's is a very nice Italian in the Al Khozarma Center.

The center piece of the Singles section, through which you must pass to access the Family Section if you're of the fairer gender, is an excellent salad and antipasto bar.   We always take nibbles from here because there's usually a reasonable selection and everything is quite tasty.

The decor at Da Pino's gives the impression of an Italian patio overlooking a piazza with brightly colored patio tables and chairs adorned with bunches of flowers in small white vases.  The family section walls are adorned with murals reflecting Italian life and love of food.  The large mirrors on the wall enhance the brightness and add a feeling of spaciousness.  

You can choose to be seated in an alcove for an intimate dinner - very cosy - or take a smaller table with a view of the cooks as they prepare your meal in the open kitchen.

I loved the steak with mushroom sauce.
Hubster thought the risotto was the best he has had here in Riyadh.

For dessert, take another trek out to the Single Section to view the sweets on offer.  I have difficulty going past the Tiramisu because it's my favorite dessert (apart from my mother's home baked apple pie, of course).  The coffee served to end our meal was perfect.

We enjoy Da Pino's when we go.  It's a nice, quiet, get away from it all kind of place.
The service is attentive.
The ambience is relaxed.
The food is delicious.
