Silver Star Restaurant — Italian / African, Asmara
Silver Star Restaurant offers Italian and African cuisine with great ambiance and cool art throughout. The combination of the culinary traditions and the artistic environment makes it one of Asmara’s most stylistically interesting dining addresses.
The cooking moves between the Italian tradition and the African culinary heritage with the confidence of a kitchen that regards both as equally valuable: the pasta and the risotto alongside the Eritrean injera-based preparations, reflecting the specific character of a city where two food cultures have been living together for nearly a century.
The cool art throughout reflects the creative energy of Asmara’s educated class: the visual arts alongside the culinary tradition.
Silver Star is the Asmara restaurant that most clearly expresses the dual cultural identity of the city: Italian and African, art and food, all arriving simultaneously.
