  The restaurant itself was an interesting place. The building was very unique. The staff was very attentive. They had wood fire pizza which some of our party ordered. It was very good. W we started off with a pizza crust with tomatoes and oil and balsamic vinegar. Had the carbanra it was great. This is inside the mall. We sat down right away

  Casual Italian eatery. We had a party of 8. Our server was prompt and attentive. The food came out in a very timely fashion and was quite delicious. Plenty of staff and management was present tending to customers.

  Last night at La Casa di Nico Ristorante was one of those rare dining experiences where generosity, craft, and atmosphere align effortlessly. The owner, Nico—an Italian gentleman of genuine warmth—welcomes you not as a customer, but as a guest. The service was led by a young lady whose name I recall as Karen (or Karan), and she embodied grace, attentiveness, and an unforced kindness that elevated the entire evening. Before the first order even arrived, we were treated to a complimentary hospitality dish—an inspired opening gesture, rich in flavor and intention, setting the tone for the night. The menu unfolded like a curated exhibition. The Caprese was pure simplicity done right—fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and balance without excess. The Parmigiana di Melanzane was exceptional: layered, deep, and soulful, with eggplant that melted into the sauce, carrying the comfort of tradition and the confidence of mastery. But the true revelation was the Risotto ai Funghi—creamy yet disciplined, earthy without heaviness, each grain perfectly al dente. This was not just risotto; it was a lesson in restraint and precision. The Lasagna alla Bolognese followed with quiet authority—rich, generous, and deeply satisfying—while a glass of Chianti Melini tied everything together with elegance and warmth. Each dish arrived seamlessly, almost intuitively—before you fully part with one plate, the next is already there, as if the kitchen senses the rhythm of your evening. The space itself is calm and inviting: soft, intelligent lighting, genuinely comfortable seating, and an ambiance that encourages conversation and presence. Nothing rushes you, nothing interrupts the flow. It would be fair to say this is not only among the finest Italian restaurants in Kenya—but quite possibly one of the best in East Africa. More importantly, it is a place for moments: for sharing a table with someone you care about, for creating memories worth keeping, for evenings that linger well beyond the last bite. A restaurant you don’t just visit— but return to.

  One of the finest Italian restaurants at Village Market. The current owner, Nico—formerly the chef—took over the space from the old Osteria, where he once worked. Since then, the clientele has only grown, and rightly so. Every time I’ve visited, the place has been busy, so reservations are highly recommended. The food quality has remained consistently excellent over the years, never once compromised. The only drawback is that when the restaurant is full, it can get quite noisy, and the interior feels a bit dark due to the limited space, along with delayed service. Friendly staff They’ve recently expanded with a pizzeria and pasta station, plus homemade ice cream, which adds even more charm. I ordered the home made pesto pomodoro—extremely fresh and flavorful. You can taste the sweetness of the spinach, the authentic Italian profile, and the richness from the generous butter and cheese served on the side. Perfectly paired with a glass of wine. I would return here again and again.
