Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Tunis. Founded by the Berbers in the 2nd millennium BCE, the city of Tunis has been controlled by Phoenicians, Romans, Arab Muslims, the Ottomans, the Spanish, the French and the Germans, finally achieving independence as the capital of Tunisia in 1956. This history has made Tunis a mélange of ancient and modern cultures. The medina is a network of narrow alleyways, mosques, mausoleums, palaces and a souq where shoppers haggle over the price of everything from filigreed gold to inexpensive souvenirs.

This is an OK pasta place, topically Tunisian not Italian except the risotto which is Italian like. The menu is so weird and has many dishes named after sex positions such as 69, threesome and other England slang words let alone the mistakes such as âCereal Killerâ instead of âSerial Killer.âThere is nothing special about the complementary appetizer, mayo, Tunisian canned harissa and pickled julienned carrots and cucumber. One of the mini breads was hard like a rock.The pasta, tagliateli, was straight from the supermarket not hand-made. It was cooked perfectly, though. However, the price that I paid for the supermarket pasta is too much. The owner must introduce hand made pasta if s/he want to charge that amount of money. The seafood was scarse, only two shrimps and some octopus and calamari. Donât forget that the pasta is super cheesy, cooked with cheese not with fresh-grated cheese on top of the pasta.The risotto was cooked perfectly, the brand is âScottiâ which makes it real risotto. The waiter who took our order was nice and he answered all of our questions especially the riso brand, which a different waiter said he will ask the chef but ignored our request.All in all, pricey supermarket pasta and loud music. Donât mistake it for Italian as the names are related to sex positions and English slangs.

With a nice place and location, the level is getting down every year. This visit was the worst ,Broken appetizer dish, old , smelly mayonnaise, with a flying insects..We had to cover the glass of water to protect it against insects...cold pizza, the restaurant wasn't crowded but the service was delay. I'm sorry for that place ...

I often go there and I'm always glad of the quality and the taste. The menu is simple, neat and you find everything: red meat, poultry and fish. Their homemade lemonade is great! I receommend the pasta anykind of pasta and specially the meat papardelle.

I donât recommend this place. First, unbeknownst to me at first, there are two places called Le Farfalle in Berges du Lac. One of them is either closed permanently, or not open in the evening; this was a disappointment after walking some distance in the night to find dinner. I discovered the other location the next day, and attempted a meal there that evening.The food is OKânot truly Italian, but not awful. But the gnocchi was mushy and overcheesed within an inch of its life. It was served scalding hot.The service was indifferent, and the food took some time to come after ordering, despite the low occupancy in the dining room.The biggest issue was that, when I attempted to pay with a card, I was told the machine wasnât working. This was not mentioned at the beginning of my meal. Because I was leaving the country the next morning, and because my bank charges me $5 to withdraw money abroad, I really did not want to use the ATM. I explained this but was met with a shrug. So in the end, this mediocre dinner cost far more dinar than it should have. There are better places nearbyâI had a much nicer experience at Breizh Bistro.

It is a clean place and the service is good, friendly. Usually packed during lunch time. Menu is having a huge variety from pasta to pizza, risotto, salads, sandwiches...The food taste is average level, pasta was overcooked, meat was too fatty, we tried 2 different times. Portions are large. Prices are very reasonable. A family eating main dishes, drinks can sum up to 50 tnd. Good value for money place.

This small restaurant is a hidden gem, managed by a family. Small menu but with excellent prices and excellent choices. I had spaghetti with calamari and boutargue which I ate my fingers after it. The spaghetti was al dente and very well presented.My wife pizza was crusty, cheesy and excellent. Service is top notch.I would recommend this restaurant highly.However, one hic. They do not accept credit cards, and that was a bog suprise for me. When I asked, the owner she gave me the answer that they had bad experience. (I think except paying the terminal fees and transaction fees, there are no other surprises) so a little bit cheap from that point of view, because, luckily my wife had enough cash with her to help me pay the bill. Otherwise I would have been forced to wash dishes. No i am kidding they advise you to go to a bank which is close by to withdraw money.

My husband and I visited this cafe/restaurant when we were looking for something to eat in the area. The place had descent google reviews.Food was Delicious. Seafood was fresh. Staff spoke English. No wonder since this cafe/Restaurant is located near the US and Canadian embassy.The atmosphere was nice. It was filling with employees of the nearby businesses looking for something to eat at their lunch break.The establishment was clean and kind of nicely decorated.It is kind of a bit expensive.I recommend this business.

The restaurant offers average setting for dining in the place ( defiantly nothing wow) and the food is average, there are lots of other small pizza shops around with better quality.I won't say its bad,but it doesn't deserve all the compliments we hear about it as well.
