Casa Portico

Lusaka


Italian owned and operated, this garden restaurant offers as authentic cuisine as you'll get outside Italy. There's homemade pastas (go the tagliatelle ragu), home-baked panini, and imported Italian cheeses and meats. It's a good spot, too, for a glass of Prosecco or well-made Negroni cocktails.

For pizza you'll have to go further afield to its new Il Portico restaurant at Leopards Hill.
