My boyfriend recently treated me to the Lucca Sunday brunch for my birthday. I had a wonderful time. It was quite a special time as it was my first time at Villa Rosa. Oh, it was splendid! The food was so flavourful and well done. From start to finish. We especially loved their fresh pizza, scrumptious lasagna and divine risotto. Hats off to the chef! The date had wonderful ambiance courtesy of a great Dj, Dj Baduh, who played great Italian music which made us feel like we were deep in Italy within the heart of Nairobi. It really did set the mood, indulge all the senses. ||At the end, the friendly staff surprised me with some cake. It totally caught me by surprise. I highly recommend the Godfather Lucca brunch as a treat and feel good experience. You won't regret it.

Went here on our last night in Nairobi, great selection of food at a good price. Drinks menu was also good with a wide array of tasty cocktails. Service was very good, and they let us split the bill between cash and card to get rid of our last few shillings. Would recommend.
