The menu is succinct, ill admit it doesn't offer regional favourites or items you always find in Italy like squid ink pasta or buffalo mozzarella pizza, however you will have a delicious wood fired...

We live very close to this restaurant but never thought of trying it until i read great reviews on tripadvisor. We went on a wednesday night, i thought it would be dead but it was pumping.

Everything Is outstanding; food, wine, service! I think they probably aren't even charging enough for what you get. Family owned restaurant and they live to make their customers happy. Highly recommended!!

It is a nice place, but big! Food is good, service is fine. When we were there a lot of end year functions were happening. Although the food was still good and the servcie fine! If you looking for atmosfeer....there is not much. But the food is good.

One of the Best Italian Restaurants in South Africa! Very reasonable prices with great service!!! Try their Greek salad - with fresh basil and the most divine dressing. The mussles are OUTstanding as well as the Scallops. Best pizzas and extra mention must go to the Calzones.
