It served proper Italian food. A bit pricey but satisfy. I liked its pasta with squid ink sauce. The interior is homy. It is a bit hidden though with only small signage hang on the entrance gate.

The food at il Sorrisso is very good, it's tasty and they've kept their standards. However the food is overpriced and this isn't doing them any favours. I enjoyed my meal but won't go back again for the price.

Wide range to select on menu. Very traditional italian food, good atmosphere and festive. Try the homemade pasta it is very tasty. Service is a bit slow.

If you stick to the pasta it can still be OK but expensive, other things much more hit and miss. was once run by the family but most have returned to Italy and the next generation don't cut it anymore

I was at this restaurant recently, because it was recommended by some friends: Never had a worse pizza in my life... the service was very bad and un-attentive. Took forever to get served, the invoice was wrong, lot of struggling to explain... Don't go there...

Best Italian food in Lagos, no doubt. Has a good selection of italian wines as well at reasonable prices, for Lagos!

Went to Il Sorriso with 3 people after hearing good things about it (on a Thursday night at around 7.30pm). First odd sign: no other customers in the whole restaurant for the entire evening... Food: Decent starters, abysmally bad pizza (definitely the worst I've in a long time so far), other main course really nothing special; menu is suspiciously long... More
