PASTA PIZZA MANIA

Need a little comfort? Well, we have the best comfort food to soothe your heart and soul in Doha. It might be a little high on calories, but rockets sky-high on happiness.
Vapiano greets you with the smell of freshly baked bread as you enter their restaurant; immediately lifting your energy with their mouth-watering aroma. The open and airy venue evokes friendly and familiar emotions, great for dinner with close friends and family. With different seating options to choose from, we headed over to their long oak tables, displaying an array of dressings and fresh plants; perfect for groups of people.
Their large windows and subtle furniture create an open and light atmosphere, perfect to brighten up any dining experience. We felt as if we were at an indoor picnic! Everyone’s given a smart-card on arrival that you use to order at their different stations. The card calculates your total amount throughout your dining experience, so you only pay once as you leave the restaurant. This process proves to be super-efficient when we dine with friends and want to pay separately.
No more frantic bill calculations at the end here. We loved going to each station and checking out their fresh ingredients and popular dishes; the three different stations consisted of pizza & lasagne, salad & antipasti, and pasta & risotto! Carbs being the ultimate comfort food and us being the ultimate carb lovers we are, we went straight for the pizza and pasta. After a little deliberation, we placed our orders directly with the chefs at each station. We ended up getting the pesto with fusilli pasta, Riviol Con spinaci, and the Alfredo Bianco pizza. Since I prefer things on the slightly spicy side, we personalized our orders to have a little kick with the addition of chilli flakes and spicy sauces. That’s what we love about this place, you can customize their regular dishes to your own personal preference. Our orders were prepared right in front of us in the live kitchen; the dough was tossed, pasta rinsed, mixed, baked, and served! Vaipano’s pizza dough, sauces, and pesto are all prepared inhouse from the finest ingredients right in the open kitchen.
You can taste and smell the freshness as they ring up your orders! The thin crust pizza was oozing with cheese and their in-house alfredo sauce. The smooth creamy texture paired perfectly with the crispiness of the crust.
The pesto pasta was as green as ever, you could taste the fresh basil and pine nuts, sprinkled with an abundance of freshly grated parmesan, absolutely delicious! But the star of the night was the ravioli; stuffed with delicious spinach and cheese and topped with a tangy tomato sauce. We could not get enough! The restaurant also sells its own fresh pasta at the counters, so you can make your culinary creations at home! It’s a great way to take home a little Vapiano memento and something we do on a regular basis. For our drinks, we decided to order two lemon and mint from their juice and coffee bar! We went back to the station for our dessert and got the cutest tiramisu packed in a sealed container for safety and freshness.
Vapiano is always our go-to choice for a quick lunch and delicious coffee in the afternoon, or even a relaxing dinner with friends! Their two branches, in Al Sadd and Gate Mall, offer great meal vibes, a welcoming atmosphere, and even a large outdoor area at their Gate Mall location. The restaurant’s comforting vibes and food definitely make it a favourite! ✤
