Whoever said change is good hasn’t been to the newly re-located Lallo’s. The atmosphere is a far departure to the cozy, kitchen-style of the original. More commercialized and compartmentalized, you feel like you are in one of those cookie-cutter cafes that appear in the little plazas that have become an unfortunate staple in this city. By grouping itself in a mini-mall filled with imitation chains, it appears that Lallo’s new location is a far cry from its original one.
Waiting for my meal, I had to wonder if they forgot to relocate the kitchen in their move. As the time goes by and your stomach continues to grumble, you become convinced that they must be cooking your food at their old location by Danube and are transporting it over.
The service has always been something I’ve loved about Lallo’s. Just like “Cheers,” it’s a place where everyone knows your name. Unfortunately, on my visit, the waiters at the new location had difficulty recalling the names of the dishes, let alone their customers’ names.
The quality of the food, which used to be synonymous with succulent flavors and rich sauces, appears to be waning at the new branch. I felt little obligation in finishing my meal like I once used to at Lallo’s.
I don’t want to be too critical, but Lallo’s was a restaurant that you could find me at every Tuesday. Now, I rarely visit the chain. I’m only harsh because I feel like my heart has been broken by a restaurant that I used to list as one of my favorites, I just want the old Lallo’s back.

Definitely the BEST Italian Food in Jeddah.
I think that I have excellent experience looking for the best Italian restaurant in Jeddah. and with all confidence after 3 years of researches about this Lallo is by FAR the best.
All I care is the taste, although the service,atmosphere and prices are still on high quality and very good at least.
If a restaurant serve the best Soups, best Starters, Best main courses, it would be the BEST and that is the simple equation about best places.
The best Tomato soup and Sea food soup
The best Pizza (ask for specialty)
The best Fried Calamari you can get in Jeddah
The best clump
The best Pasta (Raviolli with Shrimp and Creamy Safron Sauce, Linguini Pramavera, Cortucio ) not sure about the spilling but its there
The Best Dish (Chicken Monti)
+ others, Please only ask the manager (Mr. Abdulrazzaq) about them
All comes in generous portions
Deserts, although I am not really into them but they are just fine for me. I cannt really judge here
No shisha , Thanks to Allah for this and then for the management
the review is really unfair and you should have been more subjective and not allowing your feelings in
All-in-All one of my top 3 Favorited restaurants in Jeddah
a very nice Restaurant an Excellent Service and food .
the taste of the pasta and the pizza the best in jeddah and let the manager help you about the Specialist of the restaurant . thanks to mr. abdelrazaq Manager of the Restaurant .hope keep going to the top
in my opinion…if there is a wall of shame for Italian restaurants lallo would be the first restaurant to enter it
despite of the friendly atmosphere the food is bad and takes lot of time to arrive
I tried lobster spaghetti last time I visited it and I asked the waiter whether the lobster is fresh or not and he assured me it is fresh…once I had a bite of the lobster I was shocked from the terrible taste of the frozen lobster…
prices? too much for a chain that process their pasta…
In conclusion…I was dissapointed not once, but twice in the two of my visits to lallo but let’s look at the bright side: Jeddah is full of italian restaurants and I dont think lallo will compete with some of them
Mr.Waseem… you are absoutley wrong because as I know Lallo more than 12 years they didn’t have any bad opinion like ur comments but if any items frozen… honestly waiter will inform to u and 100% sured ur food will be replace immediately or cancelled if you don’t like so visit one more time lallo and enjoy
