? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

A touch of Italy at Zio Marco: In the streets of Zamalek is a quaint Italian restaurant built on decades of experience. Chef Marco brought his family’s recipes all the way from Italy after spending 40 years in the country.

The dish that whet our appetite, the Tagliata di Filetto al Pistacchio, contained thinly sliced and perfectly cooked steak, topped with a luscious pistachio sauce. The rich, nutty flavors and tender beef, paired with perfected mashed potatoes, melt in your mouth, making every delicious bite easy to savor.

Equally mouthwatering was the Risotto allo Scoglio, a seafood risotto that’ll save you the trip to coastal Italy. The risotto, delicately cooked to creamy perfection, is generously studded with fresh seafood that include juicy shrimps, plump mussels, clams and tender calamari.

We had to conclude the evening with the Italian classic dessert, Tiramisu: Zio Marco's creamy tiramisu provided the perfect finale. Layered with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese, this classic Italian dessert is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to authenticity and quality.

Zamalek residents, rejoice. You can order these dishes on Instashop. Less lucky residents from other areas in Cairo will have to make the trip.
