    Very cozy Italian diner, the staff is very friendly and the food was superb! We ordered a Buffalina pizza and a Chicken Alfredo pasta The pizza was really great, crust is top notch, however, I'd have enjoyed it more if the marinara's taste was stronger The pasta was great but a bit burnt. Good portions in terms of price as well

    Awesome Best Italian pizza in Egypt so far -I have tried several pizza spots but this is by far the best among competitors -Tried Caprese salad and the mozzarella was freshly made Infront of me. -this little restaurant deserves more than a 5 star rating and highly recommended

    I have ordered take-away Salamoni pizza. It was amazing and full of flavors from the dough to the topping. The price is good and the Salamoni is a good choice. Also, I have tried the insalata di carciofi and the Leonardo sandwich. Again all still amazing and wonderful. I really appreciate such amazing restaurant and I recommend all it's items.

    This was my first visit and I order take away because the place was full. The staff was fantastic, attentive and efficient. I had a wonderful warm salad so tasty and fresh and a wonderful pepperoni pizza which was equally delicious. I will be back, hopefully will dine in. Highly recommended!!

    This is the best Italian restaurant in Cairo! Super authentic, cosy and nice. The staff are helpful and kind. I tried the pepperoni 🍕 and it was on 🔥! I highly recommend this place. Once you're done eating, you can walk around the Zamalek neighborhood as you most likely won't find a nearby parking slot.

    The best meal we've had in Cairo by far, the chef does an amazing job and the server as well. The mozzarella rolls are a perfect appetizer or light meal even. Health food store is right next door as well.

    This is one of the best napoletana pizzas I've had lately. The salami and mozzarella used were so good, and the crust was just perfect. The alla norma pasta was a bit too al dente for my liking, but it was still good. Cons: The place is too dim with limited seating, and the bathroom needs a lot of maintainence because it is small, dark, and old. We paid 520 for these 2 plates which makes it on the pricer side considering the place could do with some enhancements. But I'd definitely come again for that pizza anytime.

    Very nice and cozy place; Staff is also cool. Pizza was really tasty and delicious and they costumed one for me (quatro frommage without blue cheese and extra mushrooms) We got the funghi and pesto chicken. They were all great!! I only have concern about the place is not well ventilated.

    Very nice & cozy place; only negative feedback is it’s not ventilated well you will feel it once you get it in. So for appetisers, we got the eggplant with cheese (6/10) The Chicken salad was perfect 10/10 The caprese was delicious!! 10/10 As for the pizzas, they are really tasty; We got the funghi with extra pepperoni And the one with three types if meat ( beef, salami & pepperoni) And Bresaola And the quatro frommage They were all great!!

    Cozy, quiet place in Zamalek. I tried their Al Funghi pizza - generous mozzarella cheese, soft pizza dough with a crunchy crust, great flavors overall.

    Absolutely delightful experience at Sapori de Carlo! This cozy restaurant offers an authentic taste of Italy. The pizza is a true standout - perfectly baked and incredibly flavorful. The Pisto Penne dish was simply amazing. Whether for a cozy lunch or dinner, this place hits the mark. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Ashraf E. 2 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    While the food and service are amazing, the place is tiny, which is not a con at all. It's just that they chose to decorate the place a certain way that made all tables very close to each other, I was deeply invested in the conversation happening next table. And I'm sure they heard everything we said.

  • 2/5 Tamer E. 2 years ago on Google
    I sent my food back for the first time in years, I’m not paying premium prices for a BEZZA. Last time I came here I gave it a break on the re-review but this time they entered the world of BEZZA. Food arrived lacking cheese, warm and it took 30 mins, my guests were not impressed and neither was I. I asked for a Diavola - off menu. It arrived with no chilli, I complained and they sent it back with CHILLI Powder?!?! The chicken worked though. Where is the famous Karolos who decorated the place with his certificates? He’s at home letting his restaurant slip.

    Phenomenal! Easily one of the best Italian restaurants I have eaten at. Everything was executed so well without any pretense. The pizza was well portioned and amazingly made. It had a light and fluffy crust with great gluten development in the dough, not to mention the pepperoni that could’ve been right from Italy. The salad was fresh and beautifully complemented by the burrata cheese that topped it. The pasta was great as well! With its fresh pesto and al dente noodles that really hit the spot. Overall a true gem that we found here in Cairo and a place that’ll please anyone looking for good Italian!

    This used to be my go-to pizza place, but something changed on my latest visit. The crust recipe definitely has changed as it's no longer airy and light as it used to be. Also the mozzarella no longer tastes as fresh. Don't get me wrong, it still tastes good, but it definitely has been way way better. Now I gotta go somewhere else to wash the taste of disappointment off my mouth.

    I rarely write reviews. I try to see the good side in things. The food was quite good, but two strange things happened that made the dinner unenjoyable. First, the food took remarkably long considering a small restaurant with only a few people and a simple order. I wouldn’t normally mind so much, but the waiter came over in between the salad and while I was waiting for main course and asked if I wanted dessert. It would be one thing if it was a mistake, but he said, oh, I’m just kidding. I said I hadn’t gotten my main course yet. Why is that funny? A very strange thing to ask at a nice restaurant especially when it’s been 45 minutes and still waiting for a basic plate of pasta. Then in the end he presents the bill handwritten with the items I got with strange math. 109+129+38 does not equal 352 as written. I get there may be service or sales tax, but that seems like a large difference especially not to show itemized on a receipt clearly. Very confusing service. Perhaps I’ll give it another chance - but please work on food prep time & billing! Thanks!

    The pizza quality is great and the place is famous for pizza. I highly recommend Napolitana, the salad looks nice yet I didn’t find it tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful and the service is quick. The price is reasonable for the quality of food. Better to order through apps like Talabat than to go there as you get out spelling like a burnt bread. The place needs more ventilation yet it is very small so that explains the humble ventilation in the presence of a pizza oven. The toilet needs more care as the toilet tank button wasn’t working properly.

    We made an order today at 4:45pm forafor iftar we're supposed to receive the order maximum by 6:30pm,we phoned around 6:25pm and we realised from the tone that they forgot completely about the order ,they guy said that delivery guy on his way which wasn't true . We live two blocks away from Sapori,the guy came 6:50pm which wasn't acceptable and the order was very bad cause it was done in a rush, unfortunately Sapori started this business very well ,delicious food, good service but as usual in Egypt everything starts very good than the drop comes very quickly. We will never in the future deal with Sapori as they proved today worst service worst food 😡😡

    For me it's the best pizza experience in cairo. Unique sauces and dough. High quality ingredients whether proteins or fresh vegetables or cheese. The place is definitely pricey but worth every penny for me.

    Loved the place and the staff the food was good too I liked the pepperoni pizza more than the margarita, the prices are also good considering the quality of the food But the funniest thing happened when we left 😅 we asked for a take away then payed the check and waited for a while after we left we realized we forgot it 😅 it was weird that they didn’t bring it to our table even though we didn’t leave right away and stayed a bit after baying the check but no one reminded us of the take away 😬 and we didn’t go back because we were already far from the restaurant

    The service was great and fast, the staff are friendly. Their pizza is famous and great. We the Napoletana and the fungi, both where really good, tasty, and I would definitely recommend them. The appetizers where good not great. The lasagna was something to write home about; it was great and I also recommend it. However I believe they could use better olives as the ones they use are a bit salty. Thumbs up for value for money. In general the place is cozy, its is very small and dark themed tho and their toilet needs proper service.

    Terrible way of doing business !!! Today I went to the restaurant at 12.30 .. when I popped in one of the staff was very surprised to see a guest with the family walk in... any way was not welcoming at all and he provided wrong information.. stating that the restaurant was open .. when I asked why the pizza over was off .. he was not sure what to reply .. he told me it’s ok Crazy ! Need minimum 30 min to have the over at the right temperature.... Very sad & negative

  • 1/5 Shady R. 3 years ago on Google
    Came for lunch at 1.45pm all the way from sheikh Zayed but apparently the chef comes at 3pm and the other chef in his place doesn't know how to prepare some items on the menu that we wanted. When we asked the waiter to describe some of the dishes, he was as clueless as the chef. We ended up leaving without ordering anything. Never experienced anything like this. So disappointing.

  • 5/5 Farah A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Youssef Nasser (. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty legit. House-made mozzarella is their thing, so tried their mozzarella roll with salami in a bed of lettuce and it's bomb. Also tried the veggie and the "Mamargareta Special" which both were pretty good.

  • 1/5 Youssef H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a very bad experience in the restaurant located in sahel (seashell walk). The portion is too small and the pasta is made without any sauce even the pizza is burnt. Even when i told the waiter he wasn’t helpful at all.

  • 5/5 Ahmed D. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to their location in Seashell in Sahel. The ambiance was very nice. Great hospitality. Service was good, but could be better, since I visited on Day 2. The food is out of this world. The pasta was outstanding. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was very rich. I tried the roulades as an appetizer, they were good. The pizza looked great but unfortunately I did try it. Will do next time. The price is good for the quality of the food. I will definitely visit again.

  • 1/5 Nagwa S. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered (Onion pizza)The difference between the pizza I should have and the pizza I’ve received This not good at all the tomato sauce not at the center of the pizza and the onion is raw should be cooked and the cheese wasn’t covering the pizza a lot of spots were missing the tomato sauce and the mozzarella if I wanna order just the crust I would say so you can’t send a pizza having empty spots this tasteless and rudeness from the chef to send out such a pizza and there’s no flavors at all Ps under the mozzarella there’s no tomato sauce at all shame first time and of course the last time try this restaurant

  • 3/5 Ave S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to this restaurant for a farewell dinner and whilst the company was wonderful there were a couple of issues that could make this place gain 5 stars in the future. Our issues: loud music made the conversation somewhat difficult to maintain. We had to ask a number of times to have the music turned down but every time the staff did so, after a song the loudness was right back where we started. It makes it less enjoyable when one has to shout at the others across the table. No bread on the table (this is an Italian restaurant) and only small bottles of water that had to be topped up on a rolling basis yet it took a long time to get the flow going. Arancini was not a good choice of appetiser, not only took a really long time to get this dish to the table but also it was abysmal. Pizza crust way too soft, it was almost as they didn't bake it long enough or drenched it in sauce and was no way to harden. We had a good size group and the restaurant heat up too fast with no way of cooling it down. Good points: the Caprese salad and penne pasta was wonderful. If I have the occasion to ever return here, certainly that's the only dishes I'll choose to eat.

  • 5/5 Gventures 2 years ago on Google
    Best pizza I've had in Cairo so far, been here 2 months and this was hands down the best. I'm from the USA but have been to Italy and this is the closest I've found in Cairo. Delicious. Good thin crust, good cheese and DELICIOUS sauce, pretty sure it's made in house, it tasted like it was to me.

  • 5/5 Enas M. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy place with great pizza, the tiramisu is just perfect and the tarte lemoni is super delicious, very friendly staff but the place is so small and fit a very limited number with a very long waiting list in the weekends.

  • 5/5 Lina S. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely cozy Italian with very good food and excellent service. The staff were very helpful and friendly. You can see the food being prepared by the chefs since the kitchen is open, that also means that you can smell different dishes that are being cooked. Pick a table further from the open kitchen if you mind the smell.

    Very nice resort, great selection of food and drinks. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded which we were grateful for but it did have an unfinished feel to it but it was very big and spacious. The only annoying thing is how much certain staff will push and push for you to pay for activities you’re not interested in. It’s as if saying no once or twice is not enough. It got to a certain point where me and my partner had to try hide away but we was later found. Overall, great hotel.

  • 1/5 Antonella Cesta I. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I ordered a pizza with vegetables yesterday night. Honestly, the food was not up to my expectations. Mozzarella tasted somehow rotten and the crust wasn‘t as spongy and crunchy as it‘s supposed to be. I was sick the whole night with unbearable stomach pain until I finally managed to throw up. My husband, who normally has a really strong stomach, experienced the same, so…we definitely had a very bad experience.
