After a long week filled with meetings, I had the pleasure of visiting Restaurant San Marino, nestled within the luxurious Hotel San Marino on Kilungya Street in Kitui, Kenya. The moment I walked in, I was enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home.
The restaurant is known for its dedication to fine dining, and I was eager to experience this first-hand. I arrived around 7 PM, hungry and ready to indulge. The ambiance was perfect for unwinding after a busy day—soft lighting, beautiful décor, and a soothing background of gentle music set the stage for a delightful evening.
One dish that caught my eye was their famous Grilled Tilapia, priced at Ksh 850. It’s a local favorite, and for good reason. The fish was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with its flaky texture melting in my mouth. I paired it with a side of Sauteed Vegetables, which were crisp and fresh, complementing the main dish remarkably well.
During my visit, I was fortunate enough to be served by David, who was not only attentive but also shared some insights about the menu. His recommendations were spot on! He suggested I try their Pasta Primavera, and I must admit, it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever tasted. The vibrant vegetables blended beautifully with the herbs, and at just Ksh 750, it was a steal.
One of the strongest points I noticed during my dining experience was the authenticity of the flavors, paired with the reasonable pricing. It's rare to find such quality at such accessible rates. Guests often rave about the atmosphere and the staff's friendliness, making it a popular spot for both business meetings and leisurely dinners.
As I settled in for dessert, I couldn't resist trying their Chocolate Lava Cake. This indulgent treat, priced at Ksh 400, was the perfect end to my meal. The rich chocolate filling oozed out as I took my first bite—every spoonful was pure bliss. It was clear why many reviews praised it as a must-try.
Overall, my experience at Restaurant San Marino was nothing short of fantastic. The combination of the delicious menu, skilled staff like David, and the comforting atmosphere made for a memorable evening. If you find yourself in Kitui, I highly recommend visiting this gem located in Hotel San Marino. It's not just a meal; it's a delightful experience awaiting to be discovered.
