Starving for italian food in Lebanon? There’s only one place to go ==> Il Vigneto.
Il Vigneto is an Italian restaurant located on the Dbayeh highway. The place is warm, calm, classy and finely decorated. The ambiance and the whole theme in Il Vigneto is pure Italian.
When it comes to food, i must say that it is VERY and EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!. I am not giving compliments or praising i am just giving my humble opinion.
I’ve been at Il Vigneto’s for a couple of time! and every time i left satiated. In fact the food is light and very tasty, you’d eat and eat and enjoy every bite.
I remember ordering the last time a “classico pizza”and some kind of “potato en el forno”as an appetizer, which is potatoes dipped in tomato sauce and topped with cheese and baked in the oven. I’ve no comments on how the food was decorated neither on their taste. It’s like Il Vigneto knows all the good rules about preparing and serving food!
So to sum up, Il Vigneto has on one hand a great Italian ambiance and on the other hand great Italian food. Those two combinations make this restaurant so complete.
