Last Saturday evening, I had the pleasure of dining at La Casa Di Nico Ristorante, nestled in the vibrant The Village Market. The moment I stepped in, I was enveloped by the warm ambiance and the enticing aroma of Italian cuisine wafting through the air. As an avid food lover, I couldn't wait to indulge in their offerings.
Once seated, I was greeted by Marco, our server for the evening, who was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. He recommended the Spaghetti Carbonara, priced at Ksh 1,700. Marco described it as a must-try dish - and he was absolutely right! This creamy pasta, adorned with crispy pancetta and finished with a flourish of white wine, was comfort food at its finest.
While savoring the carbonara, I couldn't help but admire the restaurant's dedication to quality. The flavors were rich yet balanced, showcasing the expertise of the chefs. It's rare to find a dish that embodies such a comforting home-cooked feel while still being restaurant-worthy.
To accompany my pasta, I decided to try the Linguine Allo Scoglio. At Ksh 2,200, this seafood linguine was a delightful medley of fresh fish, which Marco assured me was locally sourced. The dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a colorful array of shellfish, and the taste was nothing short of exquisite.
As I enjoyed my meal, I felt compelled to try their homemade gelato, a perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note. The gelato was creamy and rich, expertly crafted in-house, and truly a testament to the restaurant's commitment to authenticity.
Dining at La Casa Di Nico is not just about the food; it’s about the entire experience. Shadowed by the hustle and bustle of The Village Market, this restaurant offers an escape into the heart of Italy. The attentive service from Marco made our meal even more enjoyable, creating a personal touch that made us feel like valued guests.
In a city with many dining options, La Casa Di Nico Ristorante stands out for its quality, ambiance, and value for money. You’ll leave with a full stomach and a happy heart. I can't wait for my next visit to explore more of their daily specials and wine offerings!
