That's right this is indeed a restaurant within the ancient ruins of a Roman city. They serve up traditional Libyan fare including baby camel cooked in a clay pot which they break in front of you!, come here at night the atmosphere is fantastic.... only down side is its quite pricey

The restaurant is nicely redecorated and decoration is much better than before the revolution, but some of the food could be better. The mozzarella tastes like plastic and doesn't come close to the real Italian mozzarella di buffala. Spaghetti was OK and worth a second...MoreDear Sir, for me it was a real pleasure to be able to accommodate in Italian restaurant. We are pleased that want to return. It will be a nice opportunity to show our value. Thank you. See you soon. Giuseppe

Has been there for a work-team dinner. The table organization was OK, and capacity to cover all orders was adequate.
They serve very nice blood-lemon, and you should treat yourself with a Mid-Spicy Pasta with either sea fruits or grouper.
I did not like their overcharging the table reservation, as it was sky high compared to the market rate.

Located on the top floor of the Corinthia hotel near the Old Medina. Expensive but everything in that hotel is so that is to be expected. Went for a meal with my husband for our first wedding anniversary and generally enjoyed it. Beautiful ambience and tasty food. Given the price we have not been back since as this is the type of place we would save for a special occasion, (there is not much here in Tripoli that is "special occasion" worthy therefore we would reserve this as one of those). We paid about 120 LYD for a meal including appetizers, main course and desserts. Try the tajine - very nice!

Reviewed By Mohammed S
Pizza is great, sandwiches are fantastic, service is as good as good as anywhere else in Libya, definitely worth coming for eat in or take away. But the dinning room with its own menu was really not worth it. This place is fantastic at making fast food. Why they would bother with the other menu and wasting the staffs time on serving food that isn't of the same high flavour as the fast food yet being twice the price is beyond me. Definitely go. But for a pizza or the sandwiches not for the meals.
