Easily accessible near the main road. I went on a weekday so it wasn’t packed. Parking available on site. Beautiful restaurant with a calm atmosphere. Service was good and food was also excellent 👍 I've been here before and the experience was amazing. So I was pretty excited to go again but was utterly disappointed by the service. Our waiter was very casual and too "familiar' Worst of all was me repeatedly asking about non alcoholic drinks, asked for a non-alcoholic wine yet he brought me a bottle of alcoholic wine. When asked his answer was that the alcoholic content was minimal! As someone who has never tasted alcohol, to be forced to taste it was hellish! There was no remorse or attempt at service recovery. I was so upset, in hindsight, I shouldn't have had to pay for the wine or the food. The ambience and food and proximity to my house are a win but I am not sure I would go back. I finally visited Roberto's Original Italian Kitchen in Mombasa, and I am completely impressed! The service was top-notch – a clear 10 out of 10. The food was outstanding, every dish a delight, also a 10 out of 10. The ambiance and cleanliness were excellent, I would rate them 9.5 out of 10. I especially enjoyed spending Christmas Eve there, and the special Christmas menu was a real highlight. I was able to request the menu in advance, which I really appreciated. A small suggestion for improvement: The "Food Royal" starter is quite large for one person and could be listed as a starter for two. The cheese platter could also be better labeled as a portion for two. And as a minor note – I missed having an Italian Grappa. But these are just small details that don't take away from the overall perfect experience. I will definitely return and highly recommend Roberto's to both tourists and locals. A true gem in Mombasa!

Decided to come and check Roberto's restaurant today and was glad I did. The service was great and attentive. Food was also excellent, I went with the seafood pasta, and was yummy. Also great addition to have condiments on the side like chilli, garlic etc. really was good. I will definitely try a pizza next time as I seen some come from the kitchen and smelt and looked amazing. I want to thank the waiters as they gave great service and very professional. It's a shame as the table next to me were quite rude to one of the waiters and i hate to see things like this but shows how professional they are. Thank you and will be visiting again.

Absolutely fantastic Italian cuisine! Their minestrone soup is mouth-watering, and pizzas are authentic. The garlic bread and lasagne were executed perfectly, overall delicious food, and moderately priced. The interior decoration of the restaurant is beautiful. My only complaint is the parking lot, it doesn't go around the restaurant so manoeuvring when it's full is somewhat of a headache.
