RIYADH: Public, an Italian restaurant with a modern twist and electrifying ambiance, is the latest addition to Riyadh’s gastronomic pallette.
The restaurant’s motto, “By the Public, for the Public,” reflects a menu that caters to every craving.
From refreshing salads and delicious starters to hearty pizzas and piping hot pasta dishes, Public is known for its consistency and top quality ingredients.
One of their best sellers, and for good reason, is the Public baked rigatoni, a simple pasta dish bursting with flavor.
The rigatoni pasta is cooked al dente, which translates as “to the tooth”, an Italian saying for perfectly cooked pasta that is firm to the bite.
The pasta is then mixed with a combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheese topped with stracciatella, an Italian cheese made of mozzarella curds and heavy cream.
Notable appetizers include homemade parmesan fries and truffle balls, consisting of deep-fried mushroom and flavorful truffle rice with cheddar cheese and a side of capers truffle sauce.
The restaurant feels like a cross between a modern diner and a restaurant with a touch of Sicilian and contemporary design. The serving plates are hand decorated with the restaurant logo and patterns inspired by traditional Italian plate designs.
Public is also known for its music appreciation, with nights that feature local and international musicians and DJs, making it an ideal spot for a night out with great food.
Public is in Al-Dhabab, Riyadh. For more details check their Instagram @public.
