Italian food lovers found their new favourite spot at Primavera, the newest addition to the uniquely styled Al Aziziyah Boutique Hotel. Guests are in for an outstanding culinary experience, dining in unparalleled elegance. 

Primavera is the epitome of Italian upscale dining, with the restaurant’s sleek elegance extending to the menu, serving regional Italian cuisine with a modern twist. With a menu offering traditional as well as signature dishes, featuring staples like gnocchi and cannoli, as well as innovative dishes and pizzas, served directly from the gold-tiled pizza oven, the gourmet destination satisfies the most discerning palate with modern Italian cuisine featuring premium seasonal ingredients sourced from Italy and executed with precision and finesse. The talented Italian Chef Nikolas di Virgilio is spearheading the culinary operations of the restaurant.

On February 4, during a beautiful meet and greet evening at Al Aziziyah Boutique Hotel, food enthusiasts, social media influencers and distinguished guests were brought together at the restaurant’s official opening.  

Ambassador of Italy to Qatar, H E Alessandro Prunas who was the Honorary Guest during the inauguration said: “Food is not just entertainment, it’s more than that, it’s culture, so for us Italians, food is a real expression of our basic values, family, togetherness and enjoyment in all its aspects.”

Chef Nikolas di Virgilio said: “You are not our clients, you are our guests, you are in our home and you have to feel like you are in your home.” 

Wael Al Sharif, General Manager of the hotel said: “The restaurant has a capacity of 48 covers and an outdoor terrace overlooking Aspire Park and the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool. We are thrilled to open this unique venue and introduce to the foodie audience of Doha, a menu that is innovative and deliciously approachable. Apart from the standard menu, a weekly set menu is introduced, which takes the guests though a different culinary journey.”  

With its Italian estate-style interiors, the venue has the Romanesque ambience of a mansion from another era. The hand-painted walls and ceiling, depicting nature scenes in a pastel coloured palette, complements its stylish interior. 

Majestic, crystal chandeliers enhance the abundant natural light from the five windows which are decorated with rich drapes. Elegant, gold-rimmed dinnerware, silver cutlery and fresh red rose bouquets add the final touches to this chic venue.
