Paper Moon, founded by Pio Galligani Magrini in Milan in 1977, moved to New York in 1989, before expanding internationally. It is a real institution in Doha. It serves top-quality Italian cuisine. Its black and white photos of Italian films such as La Dolce Vita and the cream and chocolate tones provide a setting as refined as the service. Of course the chef is Italian! Paper Moon is known as the best Italian restaurant in Doha, so much so that they opened La Spiga by Paper Moon at the W Hotel Doha.

I'm not sure why the owner named it "Paper Moon," but it reminded me of the similarly titled movie starring the O'Neals. The setting of the movie and its characters seem an unlikely match, yet somehow it works. Like the movie, the restaurant and its location seem unlikely pairing, but it works. Oftentimes, I appreciate little surprises that the life gives.
The food was surprisingly good, and I enjoyed the beverage options, which were a rare privilege in the city.
