Little Italy | ሊትል ኢታሊ | Bole Dembel delux furniture | ቦሌ ደንበል — Restaurant in Addis Ababa

I was really looking forward to dining here, but the experience was disappointing. The location is quite small, which fits the name "Little Italy," but the photos online make it look much larger and more inviting than it actually is.

Service left a lot to be desired. My girlfriend and I ordered lasagna and tortellini. She took one bite of the lasagna, didn’t like it, and they still charged us for it. My tortellini was too soupy and lacked flavor. For the price, the food felt mediocre and overpriced. After paying for our meal, it took forever to get the receipt, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy.

The star was the Tiramisu, light, decadent, and mildly sweet and somehow got better after each bite. Versatile enough for date night, family, or birthdays and I saw all three that night. This is my new go2 for everything Italian and truthfully if the quality stays this consistent I see this becoming an iconic restaurant in Addis in less...

If you’re in the Bole Dembel area and craving some authentic Italian cuisine, Little Italy is a must-visit. I recently had the pleasure of dining there for lunch and enjoyed their lasagna, which was absolutely delightful. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. The decor is charming, with a touch of Italian elegance that makes you feel like you’re dining in a quaint Italian bistro.
