The story
La Piazzetta by Non solo Gelato sits inside Sarit Centre, one of Nairobi's most established retail and dining destinations. The restaurant carries the endorsement of Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, which awarded it a Fork in its 2026 edition — a mark of recognition that places it among a select group of Italian restaurants worth seeking out beyond Italy's borders.
The name tells part of the story: this is a concept that goes beyond gelato, extending the Italian tradition into a fuller dining experience. The "La Piazzetta" identity evokes the Italian piazza — a gathering place, unhurried and convivial — bringing that spirit to Nairobi's dining scene.
With Gambero Rosso's stamp of approval, La Piazzetta by Non solo Gelato stands as one of the few Nairobi addresses recognized by a major Italian culinary authority. For those seeking an authentic Italian experience in the city, it is a name that carries genuine credibility.
