About

The seafood pasta is worth noting with filling portions and comforting flavor, and the pizzas are good with an ocean view. Fresh produce, good Italian wines, reasonable prices, friendly boss — one regular calls it one of the best 3 restaurants in Malindi, though a double shot cappuccino costs the price of two cappuccinos which is strange.

    Low-key restaurant in Malindi, with an ocean view, good Italian wines, fresh produce, and all at a reasonable price.

    Went there for lunch in the daytime.The seafood pasta was worth noting.The portions were so filling and the flavour profile so so comforting. I am already missing Malindi just because Mariposa. Also the seaview is also very gorgeous as you wait for the meals to be prepared
