About

The pizza and seafood here rival any four-star spot in Watamu, and they make everything from scratch — you can taste the difference. The fresh grilled snapper and tropical fruits are standouts, though don't expect fancy views or extravagant decor.

    This place is clearly a relic of its past heyday, but the food and service are excellent. It’s truly a hidden gem in Watamu. Don’t expect the views or extravagance of the 4* or 5* places in town, but do expect pizza and seafood that fully rivals any of them in taste.

    I had a golden opportunity to meet Mr. Carlos the manager. Who actually took my group for a trip around Watamu. We went to his restaurant and ordered fries and pizzas and some cocktails. They were fresh and well cooked. The service was top-notch and classic. The restaurant is easily accessible just off the road. They also have some AIRBNB'S if interested in staying there.

    After being a loyal customer for over five years I ordered a deliver as per offered on their website and they had always previously delivered. Communication was poor, I was told the delivery guy left at 830, I called at 9pm and the man on the phone was shockingly rude. Told me to wait because it's busy but I love no more than seven minutes drive away and the food had apparently already left the restaurant 30 minutes previously. When I questioned this I was met with aggression and told I didn't understand the way things worked here.... I have spent my whole life in watamu, and when I said that I was cut off and told to be quiet and wait. Safe to say I will never buy anything from this company again and will advise everyone I know to avoid them too. A shame as thier passata is good but not worth being insulted on the phone and kept waiting for two hours for a pizza.

    Great food and very friendly service at reasonable prices! Loved the fresh tropical fruits and freshly caught grilled snapper! These guys make just about everything from scratch and it really makes a difference. We ate here almost every day during our week long stay at Carlos and Marina's Airbnb.

    Marina's restaurant makes everything fresh and from scratch. We had the wonderful opportunity to stay in Watamu for a week and dined here almost everyday as the food was reasonably priced and simply delicious. The restaurant chefs catered for my vegan diet (though my partner is not vegan and still thoroughly enjoyed his meals). The staff are very friendly and Abel (the restaurant manager) and the owners are very welcoming.
