The ambience was good. Very quiet. The staff were average maybe in Egypt but in my observation, honestly not be professional. I felt sometimes theyre impolite or rough. Regarding the food. I could say the mushroom soup was great but a bit salty. The appetizer of zucchini was delicious. The pasta pomodoro doesnt have any aroma and almost no taste. We had to put some salt in to but still couldnt be satisfied. The ravioli with spinach was acceptable but a little salty. The calamari with tartare dip was no valued of 220EGP. Dont order. Overall I could give them only 3stars so far. Still need to improve. Including one bottle of wine then it cost us about 1600EGP. Considering the price, worthless.
Sweet cozy vibes. The food is by the book classical, delicious and fresh. Great for an intimate dinner with a good selection of wine.
The place was beautiful and the mise en place reminded me of Italian restaurants! Loved it. The food was great too. I changed my order after ordering something else and they were so kind to replace it with the dish I wanted. Overall I had a wonderful experience. Thank you ❤
Used to be one of the best Italian restaurants on Zamalek. Not anymore so. Lax service. Had to return drinks and a very oily pasta. Plus a case of food poisoning late at night...
We ordered some appetizers and three main dishes. Ive been here before and enjoyed the food. So took 2 of my friends there. I was so disappointed. The salmon was dry. The lamb was not well seasoned and overall the experience wasnt what I expected from eating here a year ago. The quality has definitely gone down, which is sad considering they actually had really good food and service before.
Great little space — very well decorated and clean — makes you feel like you walked into a small neighborhood Italian restaurant in Soho or the West Village in Manhattan. We tried two of the pastas — the pesto and the puttanesca. Sadly the pesto was tasteless and watery — not a trace of Parmesan ant not much olive oil either. The puttanesca was slightly better — but still below expectations. Maybe other plates will be better (we hope). Still searching for good Italian in Cairo.
- Very crowded street, no parking at all- AC is very bad, the temp inside is really high and you keep on sweating as long as you are inside. Even we they turned it on it was very very weak.- Dead flies on the window of the restaurant- Food took too long to be served- Prices are on the high level, value to money is not convenient at all.
Taste is ok, much more expensive. But is really amazing atmosphere
La Trattoria is a very decent place in one of the very cream de la cream places at Cairo Egypt. Zamalek Planet. I always, live this place from the moment you enter there youll find decent mixed staff from Egyptians and Italian people wholl serve you very well and make sure that youre happy. The place is so artistic from the portrait their and the classic music. Mainly, its not crowded, youll find there different nationalities, influencers, actors and actresses. They are famous by their vielled escallope, and their veil either with lemon or White wine. You need to reserve first before going and semi formal or smart casual is a must. Enjoy the stay. P.s. its a very good place for a first date. :)
One of my favorite places in Zamalek. However, to be completely objective, food is not the best to be honest; you’ll get good food but not super. The place is really cozy. Avoid going by car as there are limited parking spots in Zamalek.
Nice Italian cuisine. Very nice atmosphere and service .
Pleasant and good food as usual.
Very friendly staff, extremely delicious and well taken care of food. Place is perfect for date or simply a nice cozy lunch/ dinner
We ordered a tenderloin steak which was average but the chicken Alfredo was really good. However, it is over priced especially for the quantity. What bothered us the most about a place that has a superb interior design and lighting (perfect for a date) was the FLIES that were all around us spoiling our experience.
This is a neighborhood restaurant with lots of locals. Good choice of wine, beer and cocktails (though they were out of vodka the night we were there). Three of our group had the salad with gorgonzola, walnuts and apples. It was exceptional. The other starter was the soup of the day, mixed seafood. Also excellent. We all enjoyed the catch if the day, sea bass grilled. Outstanding. Highly recommended.
Great place with a cosy and classy atmosphere. Quality of food and portions were good. But of course, as the usual case with similar restaurants, it is a bit expensive. My visit was on a weekend, so it was a full house and the place was a little too loud.
Terrible service though food was good. I Not ONCE did they inquire if we needed anything or how was the food. we first they brought the wrong order and when we were done, we the plates were sitting on the table for 40 minutes and no one attended us. I I had to cancel the dessert as it was so late. I feel bad if the owner is not aware of their indifference to new customers. I I am visiting from Florida and I will never recommend this restaurant. Terrible Service and an apparent lack of desire to grow clientele or tend to tourists. I when I ask to cancel the non-appearance desert because of the long wait, I no one attempted to apologize for or explain. Truly sad...
The best Italian food ever, good service. Enjoy the cozy interior design.
A cozy local Italian restaurant with friendly services and consistently good food. Their steaks are stronger than their pastas. The produce in their salads is always fresh. They serve a great carpaccio. Its a relaxing simple atmosphere with a dozen tables with white table cloths and tasteful decoration.
Its inconsistent. Sometimes its great. Sometimes not. A lot depends on the chef. It can also get very smoky because its small and about 50% of the customers are smoking at one point or another.
Amazing Italian cuisine with a cozy oldie atmosphere
Not as good as it once was. The atmosphere is just as cozy, but the food is almost inedible. We ordered the mushroom soup, the fettucine salmon and the frutte di mare risotto. Soup wasnt bas, nothing special, pasta was tough, salmon smelled extra fishy and the risotto was terribly made. Saddens me to say the quality has definitely gone down.
My most favourite dining room as its small and cozy, offering a wide range of Italian pastas. The staff, the chef, the manager - they are all super friendly.
You can pass by it and never recognize its there. One of the best Italian fine dining restaurants in town. They offer very good service in a relaxing ambience. Osso buko is on another level at La Trattoria. The duck risotto is a signature dish and its one comfy dish to have. One thing im addicted to there is the mustard soup, it is out of this world. In short, great place to dine
Have been there many times, the ambient is small not really a warm athmosfere, food is well done but to my opinion menù is too limitedi came back and it is like before it is a managers choise, but the food is still good
One of the best Italian restaurants in Cairo. Located in the heart of Zamalek with parking assistance.The ambiance is very cozy with right lighting level. No free tables after 9pm so yould better reserve in advance. The food is very tasty and plates composition is very nice.Price are on the high side but not overpriced. Clients are mainly over 30years old. Service is very good and people are friendly but non-intruding.We really enjoyed the family night.Thx.
The place is very niceIf you are looking for Italian food this the best place
Very nice charismatic Italian restaurant in Zamalek Cairo. Food is excellent and good value for money. The staff is friendly and helpful. They even saved me from getting a ticket by warning me that the police was about to give me one for parking. Definitely going to visit this restaurant next time im in Egypt.Thanks Trattoria
Thats a good spot to go to for a quiet and lovely delicious dinner (sometimes). Theres something special about it that you can only feel it when youre there. Enjoy!
Cosy restaurant with good cuisine. The tuna steak I had was good and its accompaniments perfect. The problem is the prices on the card are not inclusive of tax and service, so you get a bill you did not expect.
The ossobuco (which has always been exceptional) was so tough & full of gristle I had to have it replaced by the tenderloin. When the latter was served, it turned out to be an entrecôte. So I ordered a garden salad. Very disappointing experience.
Average food, amazing atmosphere. @eatwithnada_ on insta for more details!
Bit pricey but its a very comfortable place to dine in with friends and also could be amazing for a romantic night out ... the food quality is great if youre willing to PAY for pastas and Italian in general.
I enjoyed the restaurant very much, small and cozy with excellent food choices that taste simply delicious . If I live in Cairo, i guess it will be my no1 choice for good food and quiet atmosphere ( relaxing ambience) with good Service
The food was great and portions are okay. The service is very good, and its a nice small cozy place for dates.
Very good service, reasonable prices. Good food!
This is a cozy Italian restaurant with good food. The atmosphere is enjoyable and the service good.
Great ambience and really good food. it has allure of the actual italian restaurant, which is rare in Cairo. they serve beer and wine.
Great Italian place with a varied menu at the heart of Zamalek
Great italian food. Service is good. I hated the music collection as it didnt match the atmosphere nor the type of resturant.
Probably the best Italian restaurant in town.. We went there at least 10x and were never ever disappointed, nor by the food nor by the staff!
Lovely ambience.
Very good Italian dishes and popular among ex pats living in Zamalek. It is one of the best Italian restaurants in Zamalek.
An excellent Italian restaurant but some recipes are not very good. Spirits are available, cozy place for friends

Better than average food, no background music however a bit too smokey.
Great Italian option in Zamalek. Should go easier on the sauce but overall good experience.
