4.5 / 5.0(633 reviews)
One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Doha! I used to come here often for business lunches. It was a weekend night and there seemed to be an event going on, the place was packed. The cheerful Italian chef even came over to my table to greet me and explain the dishes. To my surprise, he treated me to a complimentary ravioli, such amazing hospitality! A Ukrainian singer performed live with piano music and her voice was absolutely beautiful. The avocado salad appetizer was refreshing and the rich cheese matched the salad perfectly. The portion was quite generous so it’s great for sharing too. The pasta was al dente and paired perfectly with the tomato sauce, the flavor was spot on. For dessert, I had chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips, just the right amount of sweetness. Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff were all friendly and attentive. I’d definitely love to come back again! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance and service were warm and welcoming. The pizza and pasta we ordered was exceptional, but what truly stood out was their amazing tiramisu, perfectly creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. Easily one of the best I’ve had! Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. Will definitely be back! Fantastic culinary experience accompanied by kind and attentive staff. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very clean and welcoming, with the servers taking great care of you especially if you have allergies/ restrictions. The drinks were delicious and the food was both visually appealing and absolutely fantastic. The desserts are one hundred percent worth getting, you’re in for one of the best sweet treats of your life! Thank you La Spiga team for this wonderful evening ❤️

Incredibly delicious food served by attentive and knowledgeable staff. Restaurant was a bit noise, large birthday group at bar but did not detract from culinary experience. Food was 5/5, we left nothing on the plates. Food was good value for money given high quality, wine was expensive but this is Qatar so to be expected. Bill for two was 900 of which 550 was wine
