A taste of Tuscany in the warmth of a local bistro in Kuwait. Step into the tiled dining room is awash with velvet seating, warm wood tones and soft, atmospheric lighting. Settle in with a blackberry thyme smash or the equally refreshing cucumber basil limonata from the short and sweet cocktail menu. For food, make sure to order the signature beef carpaccio made with tenderloin and seasoned with truffle aioli, as well as the hand-rolled pici cacio e pepe. On weekends, the team also runs a pizza pop‑up in a secret garden in the Shuwaikh Design District. Come for an Italian feast, or just pop by for a proper doppio and a dessert, the vanilla‑bean panna cotta topped with fresh strawberries is a crowd favourite.
