? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Dai Pescatori made its way from Dahab to Maadi. The restaurant does a good job of giving off a cozy and intimate atmosphere to put the patrons at ease as they prepare for their meal.

Right off the bat, the restaurant smells like authentic Italian. With our senses already engaged, we started off our meal with their bruschetta. While the bread and tomatoes were fine, the dried oregano/basil seasoning didn’t accentuate the flavor as fresher ingredients would have.

Don’t shy away from the higher ticket items. We felt like we deserved an indulgence and went for the Tagliatelle Alla Nostromo (lobster pasta), and Funghi Porcini (mushroom pasta) — both tasted as if it was home cooked by an Italian nonna (or we imagined it would) — it was rich and fresh, but we did note that it needed a dash of salt.

We refrained from overloading on carbs, but deeply regretteditwhen we saw the pizza. Its quality and aroma caught our attention as it passed by our table heading to a nearby customer…

… but the tiramisu was average. While it may look and taste like one, we felt that it didn’t have the right ratio of coffee to mascarpone.
