About

The pasta is homemade and cooked perfectly al dente, and the pizzas have that proper thin Italian crust. The tiramisu is creamy and not too sweet. It's cozy with great service, and the owner Matteo is usually around. Go for a romantic dinner or a long Italian lunch.

Carnivore Restaurant Nairobi: The Honest Review (2026)

KES 4,800 for all-you-can-eat meat carved tableside with Maasai swords. Carnivore is touristy, overpriced by local standards, and absolutely worth doing once. Here's what to actually expect.
