If you're in Nairobi and yearning for an authentic Italian culinary experience, look no further than CASA MOZZA, nestled in the vibrant Riverside Square on Riverside Drive. I had the pleasure of visiting this gem one lovely evening after work, and let me tell you – it was an adventure for the taste buds!
The atmosphere was warm and inviting as I stepped into CASA MOZZA. The rustic decor instantly transported me to a cozy Italian trattoria. My server, a cheerful attendant named Marco, greeted me with a big smile and guided me through the menu with recommendations that made my mouth water.
With Marco's advice in mind, I decided to start with the Salmon & Creme Cheese Croissant. This delightful pastry was light and flaky, filled generously with creamy cheese and fresh salmon. I couldn't resist snapping a quick photo of it before devouring it.
Next, I indulged in the Barbeque Chicken, which was simply incredible. The chicken was tender and bursting with flavor, grilled to perfection, and generously coated with a delectable barbeque sauce that had just the right amount of smokiness. Paired with a side of fresh vegetables, this dish was a perfect example of quality ingredients delivered with classic Italian flair.
For dessert, I couldn't resist trying the Om Ali, a traditional Egyptian dessert. It was a warm and comforting dish, rich with pastry and nuts, and it served as a perfect conclusion to my meal. The balance of sweetness was impeccable, and I savored every bite while chatting with Marco about his favorite dishes on the menu.
The prices at CASA MOZZA are surprisingly reasonable for the quality you receive; every dish felt like a beautiful culinary creation worth every shilling spent. I left feeling satisfied, not just from the food but from the delightful service and the overall experience of being in such a lively and authentic Italian environment.
If you’re looking to escape into the heart of Italy without leaving Nairobi, I highly recommend making CASA MOZZA your next dining destination. With Marco’s excellent service, delicious food, and a warm ambiance, it’s definitely an experience not to be missed!
