“Bring repellant.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2012

Food was ok. But sitting outside on the terrace is a nightmare.
Hundreds of mosquito's are trying to eat you.

“Pizza and pasta right from Italy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2011

I am a regular customer at La Taverna. They have the best pizza in Zanzibar and probably in all of Tanzania. The pizza makes you feel like you are in Italy not Africa and their homemade pasta dishes with seafood are fabulous.

The location is not the best (a bit off of the regular tourist circuit), but the owners have done a great job with the space and it is worth getting out of the tourist areas for the best Italian food in Zanzibar.
