As a pizza enthusiast, there's nothing quite like the thrill of discovering a hidden gem. Just recently, I stepped into Solo Grano Pizzeria, located in the heart of Nairobi, Kenya, and what an experience it was! I visited on a Thursday evening, and the inviting atmosphere instantly welcomed me.
From the moment I walked in, I could smell the rich aroma of fresh ingredients and baked dough that immediately transported me to Italy. The menu showcased a delightful range of artisanal pizzas and other menu items, but I was particularly drawn to their renowned thin crust pizzas. I read reviews raving about their classic Margherita and the indulgent Prosciutto e Funghi, so I had to try them both.
The Margherita pizza, priced at KES 1,500, was a vision to behold. The crust was the perfect combination of crispy and chewy, just as one review suggested. With fresh basil and tangy tomato sauce that burst with flavors, each bite was an explosion of authenticity. It was hard to believe I was still in Nairobi!
Next, I decided to indulge in the Prosciutto e Funghi, which was equally remarkable. The prosciutto was savory and elegantly complemented by earthy mushrooms, all laid upon that beautiful thin crust. This pizza surely confirmed what I had read: Solo Grano's pies deliver an experience that rivals any pizzeria in Italy.
It wasn't just the pizzas that impressed me; the service was commendable too! My server, who was attentive and knowledgeable, made the experience even more enjoyable. While I didn't catch his name, he recommended pairing my meal with one of their nice cocktails, which absolutely elevated the whole dining experience.
As I savored the last slice of pizza, I reflected on how Solo Grano has become a game-changer in Nairobi’s culinary scene. The fact that they focus on using the finest locally sourced ingredients and traditional Italian techniques shows a commitment to quality that is often lost in mainstream pizza chains.
If you’re a lover of artisanal thin-crust pizza, Solo Grano Pizzeria is undoubtedly a must-visit. Not only do they provide great pizza, but the entire vibe on a Thursday night was delightful,! I couldn't help but admire the crowd enjoying their dishes and the positive energy that filled the room.
In summary, my visit to Solo Grano Pizzeria was a memorable one. With wonderful flavors in their pizzas, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere, it truly feels like a slice of Italy right in Nairobi. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their offerings!
