    A pleasant set up with delicious food and the right amount. Service was efficient. My advice is for the kitchen staff to be flexable. Dinners have different dietary requirements. We choose the set menu and I asked if my desert course could be replaced with a small side salad as I don't eat desert - it was replaced but after I was told this is a one off and I shouldn't ask for this again. Pity as I am sure the difference in making the salad v desert is nominal.

    Lovely place! Cozy little restaurant with a garden. Brick oven pizza was good- liked Quattro formaggi better than chicken pizza, lasagna was decent, carbonara was just okay. On sunny days, its lovely to sit on the balcony or at the garden:)

    Beautifully crafted Italian dishes with a nicely decorated old style residential house converted into a classy restaurant. A garden view and a veranda. They have maintained the old house with all the beautiful flooring, fireplace, and windows. They have some painting on the wall, not sure if they are for sale but fine arts, nonethelss. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. Attentive staff and well-informed. The atmosphere was quite and cosy. Very nice for dates or even for group dining or business dinners. Highly recommended for authentic Italian dishes. 👌

    If you park inside the gate be prepared to move it mid meal. Otherwise, it's a lovely place and good food. Worth a visit.

    The kitchen here don't like to season their food, but after adding salt and pepper, the food was pretty good. Attentive staff help accentuate the old world elegance exuded by the ancient house. Be prepared for uninformed paint decisions and art placement, so awkward it's almost in a cute.

    This restaurant is situated in the heart of a semi-urban area near Kebena round about. I usually don’t write reviews but after three visits, I was super excited to find a perfect restaurant with constantly great service and delicious food. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters, main courses and desserts. The first time, I was there I had Black pepper steak. The second time, I had pasta with pesto sauce. Today, I had beef tenderloin steak with mushroom sauce medium well with side of grilled eggplant and zucchini. My friends tried something else. They were all exquisite. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. The foods are pricey but surely worth it. The service was the highest quality. The waiters were very engaged and interested in their jobs. The owner seemed very warm and thoughtful. She came around to check on our experience and seemed to be authentically engaged. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is brilliant. Beautiful indoor and outdoor under tree dining spaces. 👍🏾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5/5 Matthew B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in Addis! Although a very authentic Italian restaurant, with such delectables as homage pasta, lasagna, as well as delicious deserts - including tiramisu and cheesecake - BUT the pizza is amazing! It’s expertly cooked by a massive wood-fired oven with the perfect amount of char - thin, crispy outside, chewy in inside, perfect amount of toppings. The service is friendly, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure each and every customer has a marvelous dining experience. Highly recommend! Give Sal e Pepe a try - you will not be disappointed!

    Very good food and pleasant service. Absolutely enjoyed each of my meals here and have visited several times over the last 6 months. It also has a nice walled garden, so it is a great restaurant for families with smaller children.
