Last piece from Diani, I promise. If you find yourself in Diani soon, visit this restaurant and bar. You won’t miss it at night; it glows like a luxury ocean liner. It invites you with light and brights and if you aren’t zipping past in their trumpeting tuk-tuks, you will hear the bubbling sounds of diners and cutlery and music.
I know little about interior styling, nor have I been to Italy, but I know that Leonardo’s is as close to Italy as anything else can be. Think of La Casa Di Nico Ristorante in Village Market in Nairobi but without the red checked tablecloths. Their table shows white-washed wood underneath the high makuti roof. We picked a booth—they have these beautiful booths that overlook the road, only a handful so you will be lucky to get a free one.
