A warmly received Italian restaurant in central Kampen with notably friendly service, strong steaks, pasta and pizza, plus a genuinely useful children's menu; reserve ahead and request the quieter courtyard or front room if noise matters.
Casa Egitto delivers exceptional food quality across steaks, pizza, and seafood, anchored by attentive service and knowledgeable staff who elevate the casual dining experience. Strong consistency and a pleasant courtyard setting create reliable appeal, though modest space comfort and lack of landmark destination status keep it just short of the very top tier.
Casa Egitto is a welcoming, full-service Italian restaurant in central Kampen where hospitality is part of the attraction. Reviews paint a cozy, polished room with courtyard and backyard seating; one visitor summed up the feeling as being treated like “a real guest again.” Book ahead when busy, and choose your table carefully if you are sensitive to noise. The kitchen covers familiar Italian territory with unusual breadth: dependable pizza and pasta sit alongside €32 steaks, seafood, risotto and more ambitious dishes such as Surf & Turf. Tenderloin, bavette, pizza, pasta and carpaccio are the recurring successes, while a few diners report blandness or tougher pieces in individual dishes. The result suits date nights, celebrations, visitors and groups who want attentive guidance without formal fine-dining ceremony. Families are particularly well served by the current menu: children can choose mini tournedos for €10, pizza for €8.50 or pasta Bolognese for €10, while adults have plenty of approachable options. Reviews also explicitly mention children's choices. It is not an adventurous-food-only restaurant, though the premium meat and seafood section offers plenty for more exploratory diners.
