Matteo's Italian Restaurant Naivasha
Ranked in Best Luxury Hotels in Naivasha
About
An Italian restaurant and lodging in Naivasha serving decent pizzas on the way back to Nairobi, though they're sometimes slightly burnt around the edges. The rooms are quiet but could use refreshing, and menu availability can be hit-or-miss.

Yummy food good service quiet place
- Stephanie O.Google review · 9 Aug 2025
Generally good, and food is normally great, but our last experience there was very very disappointing. Key ingredients were unavailable so we couldn't order from about half the menu. It's worth noting that we were there early enough, at a time where everything should have been available. We ended up leaving.

Went in for dinner, very quick service. Had the mixed grill platter, other than the beef, all other cuts were dry.

Didnt stay here, just stopped for a few pizzas on the way back to Nairobi. Decent pizza (slightly overcooked and burnt around the edges but still tasty), took a while to be served even though the restaurant had only one other table occupied. The staff was smiling and gave recommendations for kid friendly dishes.
