This Italian-themed establishment sits atop in Midtown (the plaza) with a lovely balcony view overlooking the recently developed side of Sulaimaniya. The restaurant was so busy with people that I don’t think they need the extra attention from us, but we wanted to try what all the fuss was about ourselves, so we had a seat in the terrace and tried some of their menu.
It’s a one-page menu focused on their main offerings: appetizers, pasta, and pizza.🍕 We had one order of each namely the Eggplant Rolls, Spicy Chicken Rigatoni, and Truffle Pizza. The prices were quite affordable for a location like theirs, and I suppose that’s their catch. The food was just okay – nothing to wow about. The pasta sauce for the rigatoni was decent and the truffle pizza lacked in the usual truffle flavor that we were expecting. There’s no free bread or salad unlike in other Italian restaurants but the service was quick. Shoutout to Ms. Arlene for serving us!
Overall, Oulu is patronized for their affordable menu that’s easy to share (we ate for three persons) and the flair of the city view; that being said, if you’re looking for more flavorful Italian restaurants, there are others that have more to give on that aspect.
