    Mediterranean Italian

    Eat 83

    Warm wood tones and soft lighting set the tone at this Mediterranean-Italian restaurant in Kuwait City's Shuwaikh district, where fresh pasta is the obvious reason to show up. Pici cacio e pepe and pappardelle bolognese are comforting without being lazy about it. On weekends, a pizza pop-up runs in a secret garden nearby. It landed on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list, which tracks for a room this carefully considered.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 83
