Italian cuisine is having a moment. Not that it wasn’t ever one of our favorites, but new concepts and restaurants are popping up left, right and center in Kuwait and we’re relishing every second of it.
What’s not to love? Rich flavors, bright contrasting colors, seasonal produce and simple cooking techniques mean that every dish is a winner. Italy has a rich culinary heritage that dates back centuries. They favor quality ingredients over fussy methods.
When we think of Italian we think of freshly made pasta, creamy sauces, tomato sauce, lovingly made meals and generous portions.
And of course, PIZZA!
Alfredo’s Gallery
Alfredo’s Gallery are proud of their signature fettuccine and for good reason. Enjoy this truly iconic dish in the way it was intended. Also available on deliveroo and Talabat.
Eataly
This artisanal Italian food market is the perfect place to find all the ingredients and tools you need to make your favorite dish at home yourself. Once you have stocked up on everything you need stop for a quick lunch or dinner.
Frost Gelato
Did you think we would forget about Gelato? Italians know how to take fresh fruit, milk, cream and whatever else magical ingredients they need to make gelato and turn it into a scoop of heaven. And you can experience all of that right here in Kuwait at Frost.
Luca
A favorite in Dubai, Luca Pastas and Flatbreads is now in Kuwait and offering their famous tomato sauce, al-dente conchiglie pasta, basil and olive oil. Order for delivery only on Talabat and Deliveroo.
Pinocchio’s Pizza
Pinocchio wanted to be a real boy and you probably want real Neapolitan pizza. And you will get your wish, a thin crust at the base, with dough that puffs up around the sides and provides for a very airy crust topped with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Now if only all wishes were that easily granted.
Princi
Famed for their Sfilatino, whole olives bread, this Italian bakery also serves up sourdough, focaccia, pastries, pizza, pasta and unique salads. You can also find a specially commissioned Starbucks Reserve coffee bar here too.
RECCO Focacceria
Focaccia is a flat oven-baked Italian bread product similar in style and texture to pizza dough. Focaccia can be used as a side but at RECCO it is the star on the table.
San Marco
Authentic Italian food that you can enjoy in the outdoors when the weather is good in Salmiya’s Boulevard Park. The menu is full of classic and traditional items that everyone knows and loves.
SAN Ristorante
Once you have had the fresh pasta at SAN, going back to supermarket pasta is going to be impossible. This eatery is rustic but refined in a way that truly appreciates Italian cuisine.
Something Italian
A taste of Italy at home, you can even order pasta kits for up to 4 people if you want to do it yourself. Another fantastic concept brought to you by Kuwait London Company, so you know it’s going to deliver well.
Thick
The office is divided over the correct thickness of a pizza crust. Half of us demand a thin crust but all of us love Thick’s deep dish style pizza that is served in single-slice portions. The toppings are super fresh, the cheese is melty and the dough is oh-so-fluffy focaccia.
Vigonovo
One of the best loved Italian eateries in Kuwait serving a fusion authentic/modern Northern Italian dishes. Famous for the lasagna cupcake and now delivering more variety than ever on Talabat! Also cook-at-home delivery available.
