10. Eataly Pizzeria
Reviewed By 11LouiseS11
Ordered a few pizzas for take away and when I collected, 3 pizzas had been forgotten so had to wait while other pizzas got cold. Pizzas were the worst Iâve had. The tomato sauce was very sour and there was chilli in it. The pepperoni was also not nice at all. Only one person out of 6 of us ate their pizza.

Great food, what I love about the food here is the passion within each dish ... whether its the shared platters , lighter options or hearty soul dishes you are sure to be whisked off on a gourmet journey! Make sure you save room for dessert... best red velvet cake ever!Love the quirky decor which I am reliably told is done by the owner herself. Dont miss out on the weekend braai specials or the cocktails specials not to mention Prosecco is served by the glass or bottle at affordable prices. The venue is relaxed and welcoming with great staff. Arrive as a customer and leave as one of the family!

I generally enjoy being an American in Zambia... except when it comes to pizza. However, when Pizza Hut came to Lusaka, I tried it and WOW it's like American Pizza. The buttery crusts. Delicious. Real pepperoni (which I haven't seen much of anywhere else in Lusaka): tasty.The only downside is that sometimes they have had problems with their supply chain. Once we went and the store was closed because they didn't have pizza. Once we went and couldn't get a small pizza because they didn't have the right dough.

Visiting family in Lusaka, other friends arrived today from Germany, so we all went to dinner. This location is out a bit, but the service, food and relaxed atmosphere are worth it. The manager greeted us warmly when we entered, asked if we would like to sit inside, on the covered patio, or outside. It was a beautiful night, though cool, but we chose to sit out back and there were portable wood heaters spaced around the seating. We immediately received the menu's and drink orders taken. It is a limited Italian menu. Several (10 or 12) varieties available, lasagna, fresh salads with meat or veggies, calzones, etc. Bruschetta is not listed, but they know my family and brought two boards of Bruschetta to the table, as they know it is always ordered. If you don't see something on the menu, definitely ask. The drinks were delivered quickly, then food order arrived. This surprised me, as the restraunt was very busy. I shared a prosciutto pizza with my sister and we brought a small slice home. I believe the pizzas are designed for 1 or 2, and they are very thin crust and absolutely delicious. They use fresh ingredients, so if they run out, changes might be made. One member of our party order the "Estate" which includes fresh basil leaves. They had just used the last so asked if he would like to change his order or substitute rocket instead. Server was attentive but discreet. VERY relaxing atmosphere and meal. YES to this restraunt. I will be back before my holiday ends!

LA BOTTEGA is an Italian cafeteria, pastry shop and restaurant created to sustain the In&out of the ghetto Ngo rooted in bauleni Compound, in the outskirt of Lusaka. You can taste Italian and zambian speciality. Come and support us, we are waiting for you
Reviewed By alicetq
La Bottega has a lovely garden, perfect for a breakfast but also lunch or a snack. The personnel is friendly and the ambiance is cozy. The Italian pastries are simply delicious, try the Baci di dama or the Fiamma, they really taste like home! (I'm Italian, I can say it!). Moreover, the profits from the activity go funding a very active NGO in Lusaka's slums. I recommend it!!

I had heard about the restaurant just over a year ago when I moved to Lusaka, but never got round to actually having dinner there. Finally got round to it the other day, and I cannot believe that it took me this long. Their food is extremely good value for money - a pizza costing around K60 (January 2018). Besides the value, it was also delicious!! We were a group of 4 friends who orders a variety of the starters and mains, and not a single person was dissapointed. They allow corkage, which is great for a wine-loving South African (restaurant prices in Lusaka are just absurd, as a side note). This is definitely one of those places you don't actually want to review, because you want to keep it a secret!
