Michelin-starred L˜ARIA is headed to Riyadh for a limited-time pop-up
The pop-up will take over the Mandarin Oriental…
’tis the season. For what you may ask? Well, alfresco season for starters. While we already have a glorious selection of restaurants in every cuisine, we’re always more than happy to welcome another. Especially when it’s an Italian one (okay, I’m biased).
Without further ado, let’s dive right into Lake Como’s best-kept secret, the culinary delight that is L˜ARIA in Riyadh. The restaurant will be coming to Riyadh as a limited-time pop-up from Wednesday December 4 until Wednesday February 26, 2025.

Here gorgeous Italian dishes come out with a unique Japanese twist. Stay with us, it may be a little hard to imagine, sure, but when the flavours blend together so remarkably, it’s hard to picture it any other way. And that’s what L˜ARIA in Riyadh aims to do.
Bringing a slice of never-tasted-before fusion to the heart of Riyadh, Chef Massimiliano Blasone will be at the helm of the new pop-up. The chef’s culinary techniques enhance the flavour and quality of each of the dishes he presents. Combining the finest seasonal ingredients and a fresh approach to gastronomy, the restaurant pop-up is all set to be a success in the capital.
The pop-up will be taking over the space of what previously used to be Greek restaurant Meraki, and will be open for dinner from 6pm to 11.30pm Mondays through Saturdays, and 1pm to 4pm for brunch on Saturdays.
