About il Nilo

A Taste of Italy on the Banks of the Nile

Welcome to il Nilo, where the timeless beauty of the Nile meets the rustic warmth of an Italian kitchen. Located in the heart of Garden City on the Corniche, we have established ourselves as one of Cairo's premier destinations for authentic Italian dining.

Our philosophy is simple: good food requires a beautiful setting. We invite our guests to escape the noise of the city and step into a serene sanctuary where the river flows just meters from your table.

Our Kitchen: Authenticity in Every Bite

At il Nilo, we believe that Italian cuisine is an art form defined by the quality of its ingredients. We do not compromise on taste. Our menu is a curated journey through Italy, featuring:

• Hand-Tossed Pizzas: Crafted with traditional dough and fired to perfection.
• Artisanal Pastas: From rich Alfredo to classic Bolognese, our sauces are made fresh daily.
• Fresh Local Ingredients: We source the finest produce to ensure every dish bursts with flavor.

Whether you are craving a comforting lasagna or a light seafood dish by the water, our chefs are dedicated to delivering an experience that honors Italian culinary traditions.

The Experience: Nature & Elegance

Dining at il Nilo is about more than just the food; it is about the atmosphere. Our open-air garden terrace offers an uninterrupted panoramic view of the Nile, making it the perfect backdrop for romantic dinners, family gatherings, or business meetings.

Our guests often find themselves charmed by the unique character of our garden, home to our resident peacocks that add a touch of natural beauty to the landscape. Combined with our attentive, welcoming staff, we strive to make every visit memorable.
