We came here for a family lunch and ordered a few different things to try, the overall vibe of the place is amazing especially with the Christmas decorations going gives you a warm Christmas vibe. The food was very good, the pizza was very good I personally love the thing bread style pizzas. The pasta was also really good and the prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend to try this place.

We wanted to go to bela cio restaurant which is behind this restaurant, but they said we need to have reservation. And the atmosphere was not family friendly as alcohol is served normally. So we exit and were hungry. Then we saw this restaurant "The Italian Gourmet" my wife said let's give it a try. We are so happy that we tried it, it is absolutely delicious and very very fresh food. It takes only 5 to 10 minutes for your food to arrive everything is cooked fresh and very delicious. The chef is Italian for real, The pizza options are just absolutely amazing, the crust the fresh topping OMG. Y

Came with friends and found this to be such a fun atmosphere to connect. Sat in the outdoor seating and relaxed. Staff was friendly and helpful. Menu had lots of options. Pizza was delicious. Pasta too! Definitely would come back if I get a craving for anything Italian. I did not order a dessert, but want to mention they looked soooo good.

It is resto cafe concept, nicely decorated,,classy with nice ambiance.they have indoor and outdoor areas We ordered 2 pizza ,Al funghi was average but Bufala was excellent. Was not expensive at all, very affordable to everyone. The service was fast ,the staff was extremely nice but sometimes they exaggerate and you can easily feel that. They have to make balance between offering a good service and being friendly. They have to take care of that. I would definitely come back.

Gourmet italiano is like visiting a charming trattoria in Rome. The warm lighting, service, restaurant with classic Italian music filling the air, creates a truly Italian atmosphere. The wide selection of pizzas, fresh pastas, beef carpaccio, fried eggplant are great. Thank you for this delicious experience 🥂

Gourmet Italiano serves fantastic Italian food, especially the fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna, and Greek salad. The balcony view adds to the charm, making it a definite recommendation.

This is the best Italian food in Erbil! It is authentic, and they make their own pastas, bread and cakes. I highly recommend the tortillini. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was lovely. If you are in Erbil, you must try this restaurant.

very good food. Authentic italian pizza and pasta. The old staff were a little more friendly but the new ones are still not so bad. The price is very reasonable especially considering the location. 👍 would recommend the pastas more than the pizzas. They have no variety in terms of appetizers but i do love the onion bread on the house. Their dessert is very good, i enjoyed all the dessert items. Would not recommend the rocca pizza 👎

Very nice Italian restaurant. They have newly opened and so the staff doesn’t appear to have all their roles and processes down yet, yet they were still very attentive, professional and polite. The pizza was very fresh and well made. Their in-house made gelato is quite delicious combined with good coffee and espresso selections. Overall, I would recommend it. You should come check it out and taste some of the amazing food. Be sure and try the bread dipped in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The dining area is a bit small and therefore a little too crowded with tables, therefore I’d suggest

Amazing food, reasonable prices and great atmosphere. Really liked the complementary they thankfully bring, although the 🍕 was great and best ij Erbil (my opinion) but I think there's a room for improvement as a rustic original Pizza Italiana .

I am sorry to say that, but the quality of this place have changed. From my last experience, I felt they use low quality of cheese, pesto and other ingredients. I am eating pizza for a very long time there and I noticed this change for a while now. I hope they will fix it otherwise this restaurant is finished for me.

I ordered fettuccine Alfredo with extra chicken and even paid extra for it, but there was barely any chicken in the dish. The pasta itself was okay — around a 5/10 at best. Really disappointing experience. If I’m paying more, I expect to actually get what I ordered.

The most authentic Italian food i have ever eaten in my entire life. Absolutely remarkable, it is my now favorite restaurant in this country. I have had just such a pure and wonderful experience. It is absolutely amazing. I am still shocked how good the food tasted, with every bite i would close my eyes and i could see the streets of and farms of Venice.

Great value for money, everything is very reasonably priced, other restaurants charge way more for less tasty food and this restaurant has Italian chefs working there. Money aside, the food tastes great, I've tried quite a few items and not a single 1 disappointed me, it was all very fresh and it had that homemade authenticity to it. Atmosphere is cozy and it has that family gathering vibe to it, the staff are very friendly and great, Great place if you wanna take someone out and show them around, from catching up with friends to going out on a date, will definitely revisit and eventually t

We eat here regularly and the Italian food is excellent and has a lovely homemade style. Tomato soup is well worth ordering as are the many great pasta dishes and pizzas. Homemade deserts are a must as well. Apple crumble is awesome with a cappuccino!

I love this italian resto in erbil. Everytime I go, I step by to eat their one dish. Prices are a little bit high but tastes of the pizzas are delicious.

On paper it looked like a great place to have authentic Italian food, after experiencing the food there we can say it's more than that, the waiter was so polite and helpful, the food was so simple yet so tasty and flavorful, the place and atmosphere was quiet and lovely, we enjoyed every moment and will definitely come back again.
