    Nice Atmosphere, we arrived right when they opened for the evening. Service started alittle slow, but got better as the evening went on. Food was Great, I played it safe with the lasagna, petite salad with a lovely oil/lemon dressing, & au gratin- My husband ordered the Gambas, the appetizer of battered fried shrimp he said was Incredible! The only thing we noticed was the inconsistency of masks being worn upon entering when the sign on the door stated they were needed- security did take your temp at the door/gave sanitizer. Also, the seating patrons super close to us, while there were many other open tables was a little uncomfortable. Overall, great experience, will be back to try out other items! A hidden downtown gem with a great atmosphere!

    (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.

    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...

    I recently visited Ciao Italia restaurant in Dakar and I must say that my experience was delightful. The restaurant is situated in a prime location, and the ambiance is welcoming and cozy. The decor is stylish and modern, which adds to the overall dining experience. The menu at Ciao Italia is extensive, with a range of Italian dishes to choose from. I ordered the pizza, and it was delicious - the crust was crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The portion sizes were generous, and the food was reasonably priced. The service at Ciao Italia was impeccable - the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure that we had a great time. The restaurant also has a wide selection of drinks and desserts, which we indulged in after our meal. I particularly enjoyed the tiramisu - it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Overall, my experience at Ciao Italia was excellent, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Italian food and a pleasant dining experience in Dakar.

    I can say that it is the best Italian restaurant in Dakar. Pizza and pasta are delicious, very successful in taste, I just want to make a small warning about the place. They should take urgent action regarding the bug, that was the only problem and it made us unhappy. we saw it walking around the wall :(

    (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.

    (Translated by Google) Say goodbye to ITALY, because the owner will be Italian or speak it, but you need bad Tunisian oil, the tenderloin is pity, the Senegalese background music, as well as the slow and clumsy service, INCORRECT OWNER, a drug dealer who takes advantage of the name ITALY. NOT RECOMMENDED (Original) Dite addio all'ITALIA, xkè sarà pure italiano il titolare o lo parla, ma serve olio pessimo tunisino, il filetto fa' pietà, il sottofondo musicale senegalese, come anche il servizio lento e impacciato, TITOLARE incapace, uno spacciatore che approfitta del nome ITALIA.

    Excellent service. Variety of options, but I didn't enjoy my food though. It had pesto sauce but was pretty bland outside of that. No real flavor.
