Tutto D'Italy

Top choice in Mozambique


Top of the list of 'weird epiphanies in Beira' is this fabulous Italian restaurant hidden (there's no sign) in a children's park on the cusp of the Ponta Gêa neighbourhood. All the Italian favourites – antipasti, veal, octopus and pasta dishes – are served here, and all taste as though they've been teleported from Rome or Naples.

The wine list is equally impressive, and the restaurant also does some good Portuguese-Mozambican standards.
