    Good food in a pleasant garden. The mozzarella, tomato and basil starter was well seasoned and came with some green olives. I ordered some bread, which was pretty good but basically a plain pizza base cooked in the oven. This was followed by a pizza capricciosa, which again was pretty good, but would have stood a few more minutes in the oven for a crispier base. Service was good as were the washrooms. If youโ€™re in the neighbourhood itโ€™s worth a visit.

    It is nice place to visit with your family, friends or job colleagues. The service leaves alot to demand but it can be compensate with the gorgeousness of their food. The atmosphere is very calm (excellent if you want to rest from the noisy clubs). One thing I can reproach them is not having WiFi (if you're one of those who always need to be connected). Maybe what they one is the connection between his clients at table (they should live the client to choose and not impose the choice on them).

    The taste was not good, I had to force myself to use pepper and salt to get a good taste. Please try to sit down with the Chef

    If you want to eat a proper pizza, eat it here... Leone l'africano has the best pizza in the whole city of Dodoma! I've been there several times and the pizza is a guarantee, but there is also a menu with a wide choice. The place is very nice, the staff is kind and the service is fast. Recommended!

    Great authentic Italian pizza. Really all the food here I have eaten is good. One of my top 5 restaurants on Dodoma, if not the best.

  • 4/5 Isaac L. 4 years ago on Google
    Pretty good pizza, particularly the Leone meats one. However, the outdoor seating was dreadful as there were flies and gnats all over the place, even when we moved tables. Hours were also a bit odd and they were closed when we arrived in the afternoon. It's in the shadow of simba rock, which is neat, but be careful around that area at night.

    Nice place, nice food available, nice place to visit, nice place to enjoy with friends, family and office mates. Is the place that I was thought to be and when I was there I appreciate what they serve for their service and am totally convinced to be there again and again. thanks for the service and thanks for being their. - No one is 100% perfect here is the advice. 1. Control well arrangement of tables of inside to avoid sun light bother the clients especial during evening time. 2. The menu to fit the almost all the clients 3. Guiding service can alter clients too (Just try to employee people who can guide people according to what they'll feel to get from there)

    The pizza was very good and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Before we had our meal we were able to play 12 holes of miniature golf located in front of the restaurant while waiting for the kitchen staff to get the kitchen ready to make our meal.

    With distance the best pizza I've had in easy Africa. And for a very decent price. Would definitely recommend this place. The nice garden and friendly staff is a good bonus on top of this beauty of a pizza (tip: get the calzone and add blue cheese)

  • 1/5 Tina R. 4 years ago on Google
    The gnocchi was made out of flower instead of potato. And even then not properly cooked. The staff suggested a replacement dish. The pizza unfortunatly was the same, ondercooked. The top was still raw dough. You could literally still shape it with your fingers. Staff was very friendly, beautiful place, but unfortunatly based on this experience I would not recommend this place. Added since comment of owner: ah yes, I made a spelling mistake. Its flour and not flower. Gnocchi contain potatoes and a bit if flour to hold it together indeed, but your chef told me your gnocchi only contain flour, and thats what it tasted like. I did not finish my pizza at all. The middle and top were still very raw. Please see the pictures. You can see what I mean. You can also check my profile and comments I leave. I dont go around giving bad reviews to restaurants just for the fun of it. I still paid and did not take my change and gave positive feedback on your staffs handeling it. I 'm sorry to see you dont take feedback to get better but use it to say people lie...
