The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Cairo

Overlooking the Nile and the famous Cairo Tower, the restaurant is located on the second floor of the luxury Ritz-Carlton hotel. The service, decor, ambience and, of course, the contents of the plate are worthy of such a hotel: top-class. Here, we offer you an explosion of Italian flavors in the heart of Cairo. Travelers looking for a change from Egyptian cuisine while remaining gourmets will be delighted: risotto in all its forms, osso bucco and other meats, and of course succulent pasta dishes and pizzas...

La Trattoria is a chic and friendly Italian address in the heart of Zamalek. It is popular with Italian expatriates and others, as well as with travelers wishing to eat something other than Egyptian flavors. The setting is particularly pleasant, but a little small, so reservations are recommended. In terms of cuisine, you'll find all the Italian specialties here: pizzas, pastas, risottos, as well as a fine menu for meat lovers. The wine list is also well-stocked. On the sweet side, we love the homemade tiramisu!

It is one of the few Mediterranean restaurants in Cairo to succeed in cleverly mixing Lebanese, Greek and Italian cuisine. If you're hesitating, take the risotto, a sure thing here. Many dishes are gluten-free and vegetarian. Tiramisu to be damned and original flavors of homemade ice cream (with chilli pepper for example!). It is the address of choice for gourmets and/or film lovers who leave the Cimathèque just opposite (building on the left of the synagogue). The only downside is the noisy acoustics, especially when it's full on Saturdays.
