Poor Food Quality- Unethical Practice: Hi, I see really good reviews of this place all the time, yet had a bad experience a few years ago (2023). I gave in when my family insisted we go there (2026). The issue few years ago was the quality of the pasta, spaghetti arrabiata, flat, tasteless and the spaghetti was chewy. This time around ordered basil pesto pasta, the pasta came to the table luke warm, the fussili was undercooked and chawky, and was clumped together into balls, meaning the pasta cooking method made it all stick together. I sent it back. Later on, we discovered the restaurants modus operandi is to place bottles of sparkling and still water on your table before you arrive (at R90 per bottle), but little do you realise that these were not ordered by the guests that got there before you. So you go along, bu do not open all bottles, yet we were charged a whopping R360 for 4 bottles of water which were not even ordered. Please be careful that this does not happen to you.

The dishes I ordered were extremely underwhelming. I had high expectations after reading reviews about the food. I had the calamari for starters and for something that was described as deep fried on the menu it come to the table looking white instead of golden brown, the calamari itself had no flavor but the tomato base which it sat on was flavorful, could’ve done without the flavorless paper thing they put on top as garnish and the colored oil. My main was the the risotto marinara and if it wasn’t for the risotto I’d honestly be giving them a 1 star. It was really the star of the show. The seafood was bland, overcooked and dry. There was a beautiful prawn on the dish that was extremely disappointing in taste and the same can be said about the mussels . The clams had this raw egg yolk taste to them that wasn’t pleasing at all. Shout out to the risotto though. For dessert I had tiramisu and it was just okay. Service was great. The lady that served us was really pleasant. They really need to take care of the preparation of their meals if they’re going to charge what they charge

Nox the waitress was most professional. Food was delicious but expensive. Seafood pasta R550. Wine was outrageously priced.

Absolutely love this restaurant! It makes you feel like you’re on a street in Europe. Food is incredible and not badly priced. The panacotta is definitely a must for desert.
