You come to La Villa for Italian food in Nairobi — handmade pasta, risotto, and seafood dishes. The kitchen makes its own passatelli and tagliatelle, serving them with sauces like black truffle or basil pesto. The burrata comes with rocket salad and cherry tomatoes; the arancini are stuffed with truffle and mushroom.

The menu divides into antipasti, pasta, risotto, and secondi. Start with fried camembert served with honey or a plate of Parma ham. For mains, there is homemade gnocchi with gorgonzola, linguine with clams, and risotto cooked with porcini mushrooms or prawns. The seafood section includes grilled octopus and a mixed platter with lobster and red snapper.

Pizzas come from the oven with toppings like nduja sausage, burrata, or truffle sauce. Desserts are Italian — tiramisu, panna cotta with berry sauce, and lemon sorbet with Prosecco. The wine list leans Italian, with options by the glass or bottle.

The restaurant sits on Kitisuru Road, with tables inside and out. It takes reservations by phone.
