| Italian Delights from the main road |
A few years ago I heard about an Italian NGO that sold handmade Italian food. We were initially attracted by their bread and ravioli but we soon realized they had a wealth of other delicious food available. They were tucked up in the hills of Wilolesi and had a very professional kitchen with sleek new ovens and kitchen gadgets. We were really impressed with the handmade tagliatelle laid to dry and well stocked freezers with lasagna, meatballs, veg and meat ravioli, and an entire separate pantry for biscuits and sweets.
We were pleased to see that after a few years operating out of their base, they managed to open a restaurant/shop in downtown Iringa. It has a great location next to the clock tower and they've slowly expanded services since they initially opened. The arrival of the espresso machine was a nice addition and then the outdoor pizza oven put things over the top. There are a variety of cakes and sweets available as well as the frozen goods and delicious fresh bread (I recommend the potato bread!).
Iringa doesn't have a lot of foreign food restaurants and it just so happens there are two very good Italian options though the other is a little ways out of town. It's nice to have this low key location for anything from a quick coffee to a pizza lunch. I highly recommend this place not only for the delicious food and drink but much like the other Iringa staple, Neema Crafts, it was created for and continues to support vulnerable groups.
