Ambiance: Average, Food:Good. The reception is warm and the reservation. We were shown to our seats on arrival and immediately after It took upwards of 10 minutes before anyone would attend to us. Well, we found the menu a bit detailed and slightly complex which is not a bad thing but can be if the person serving you is not... More

I used to work in Westland where the first Mediterraneo opened and used to go every day for lunch. It was probably the best Italian restaurant in Nairobi and I used to go out of my way to go to it. It was always good well cooked food with the owner around and making sure things worked and everyone was... More

Seafood. Pasta. And, if you are lucky, that's where you can enjoy a good bottle of Aglianico - which otherwise is a rare find here. Be prepared to have your time taken - not a fast food place. More

The waiter began arguing with our guest because he passed his menu to his wife and suggested that the ladies should be served first. The waiter was crude with the way he served us. The prosciutto pizza has cooked ham and not prosciutto. The crème brûlée was a scrambled egg with burnt sugar and not caramelised sugar. It turns out... More

This place does the most innovative and lip smacking Italian fare in town Their specials have very interesting options However what disappointed me last time round at their new Gigiri branch was that when we ordered our preferred Kenyan Beer from Sierra Brewery the waiter said that they had stopped stocking it; half way through our meal we saw that...

Must go! excellent italian food in a quaint atmosphere. Love it, highly recommended for those who love italian. I only tried the pasta dishes though, so not sure about the rest of the food. Wine a bit pricy, and not the best selection. Stick to beer while in Kenya More

I was surprised that this wasn't in the top 10 Trip Advisor in Nairobi. The food is consistently good, the quality is consistently good and the service excellent. The menu is vast with a good, fresh, home-made pizza section. I don't think you can go far wrong and would happily recommend it. More

One of the waiters at this restaurant came to know us very well. The dishes at this place are amazing! The ambiance is super fun (don't let the questionable appearance from the street deter you). Once you are inside it feels like an Italian oasis in the middle of Nairobi. The first time I went I had a prawns and... More
