    Enjoyable environment and overall good service. Good jazzlike music. The pizza was good the grilled meat platter had some meat that was way overcooked but I think that's how locals eat it. On customer was playing some loud music on her phone and no one stopped her. It was annoying. Positive experience overall. Good gateway from the usual...

    Great Italian food. High standard Pizza. At the time there was very noisy construction going on, on the other side of the street. But that’s nothing the restaurant could have prevented.

    (Translated by Google) A magnificent setting to spend a pleasant moment in conviviality. You will not be disappointed, the varied menu makes you want to come back to discover everything, without forgetting the good smell of wood-fired pizza that never ceases to tickle your taste buds. And most importantly, the products are fresh. You will feel at home, the owner is very warm. (Original) Un cadre magnifique pour passer un agréable moment dans la convivialité. Vous ne serez pas déçu, la carte très variée vous donne envie de revenir pour tout découvrir, sans oublier la bonne odeur de pizza au feu de bois qui ne cesse de titiller vos papilles. Et le plus important, les produits sont frais. Vous vous sentirez comme chez vous, le propriétaire est très chaleureux.

    Good pizza as always. The place has been upgraded thus looks more spacious.

  • 5/5 Ibrahim T. 10 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Formerly confusingly known as The Colorado, this is the place to go for great Italian food in Dakar, and some of the best food in Dakar period. I recommend the gnocchi and tiramisu for dessert. IMO you can get better pizza elsewhere but pretty much all of the pasta dishes are worth trying. Also has great service and atmosphere, plus most of the food is halal.

  • 4/5 Yaye B. 8 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Great atmosphere in this family style restaurant, felt transported to the countryside in the south of Italy. The person who took care of our table was very friendly, gave us advice on the menu and took her time with us. The drinks were good, the food was exceptional, freshly made to taste and authentic Italian cuisine. Prices are according to Dakar standards. Paid equivalent of 100 euros for dinner for 3 adults and 4 kids ( drinks and mains- including 4 pizzas and 2 other dishes). We were full and took some food home. We left desert tasting to another time. I highly recommend the place. I will be going back. Only downside we waited a good 35 mins for our food though drinks came fast. Well done to the owner for bringing a piece of Italy to Dakar. Gracie mille.

    I came to empty restaurant and took a table which I prefer. But the waiter insisted me to chose another table. In the empty (!) restaurant with only one occupied table. Welcoming service, sure 😕. I prefered to leave. Not sure if I will come back.

  • 4/5 Barbara P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good pizza, dough and me cheese are adequate. But the trimmings deserve to be improved still; boletus without taste, bland ham. Pity. Nevertheless, a good time with friends! (Original) Bonne pizza, la pâte et me fromage sont adéquats. Mais les garnitures mériteraient d'être améliorées encore; bolets sans goût, jambon fade. Dommage. Malgré tout, un bon moment entre amis !

  • 1/5 Lissa F. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    My family and I went to this restaurant last night and we were all disgusted our experience. The owner, Alex, was condescending, rude and disrespectful. It was our first time at this restaurant and it will be the last. After eating our entrees and main courses, we ordered dessert, coffee and tea. Alex enters the restaurant from the back and is facing our table. My family looks over curious to find out whether he was the owner and he walks over to the table with a stern look on his face as asks us in French “il y a un problème?” which means “is there a problem?” And he continues to say that he caught our 4 pairs of eyes starring at him. My aunt responds “no, you are the one looking at us as if there is a problem”. We were shocked. How can an owner ask his customers “is there a problem?” He said it with a mean and nasty look on his face. He did not smile. He did not greet us. He did NOT say, “hello, how are you? Did you enjoy your food?” Nothing. I’ve never experienced this kind of treatment at a restaurant in Senegal. We were so shocked. We cancelled our desserts, coffee and tea and asked for the bill. He then proceeded to sit at a table and stare at us with a mean look. He told his staff not to let us pay the bill, but the damage was already done. His staff looks terrified of him. They followed us all the way to the car. He looks like he terrorizes everyone. A normal person does not act this way. The Italian food was not that good, the service was bad and slow because there was only one server and we got up several times to ask for basic things (ex: cheese). I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. A owner has to respect his customers and has NO respect and is very rude and condescending.
