"The Italian chef behind Nairobi’s Mediterraneo restaurants, known simply as “Chef Dario,” has branched out with his wife, Judy, to open La Cantina. The restaurant’s wooden tables and chairs, dark red cushions, and red-checkered napkins are reminiscent of a small family-run restaurant in the south of Italy, and the menu of handmade pizzas and pastas completes the vibe. Be advised: Save room for the tiramisu." - Soni Adriance
