We found this restaurant by accident while walking around Sandton City. What a great accident it was.
We were greeted before hardly reaching the door and welcomed in a friendly and helpful manner. Really was a pleasant change to the lousy service we've been getting lately at restaurants.
This restaurant is something different from the norm. It has a "coffee bar" area surrounded by black metal bar stools. It has a "food bar" area that is a long open plan kitchen with counters laden with sample wares.
There are some tables and chairs as well so you have the choice of sitting "bar" style or table style.
The recipes dates back to Sardinia were Nonna was born. When they migrated to South Africa she brought her treasured recipe book with. Filled of course with traditional family recipes for wholesome Italian family food. They started the first shop in Senderwood and now this different more modern concept in Sandton City. The rest is history…
One starts standing at the open plan counter/kitchen drooling over all the wonderful samples laid out. There is anti pasta, salads, pizza, pasta & deserts. Everything fresh and laid out for you to witness. We decided on pasta dishes. The pasta of course is homemade, in a dedicated pasta room with an observation window, right next door to the kitchen. The meal you chose is prepared and cooked fresh to order, right in front of you. Once your food is ready it is brought to you at your table, served in fantastic silver metal bowls. Beautiful.
I had a mild (I know) arrabiata with tagliatelle and it was absolutely perfect. The pasta cooked al dente, the sauce just spicy enough and the combination, absolutely mouth watering. By the way the servings are large but it tasted so good I couldn't stop eating till the bowl was swept clean.
My wife & daughter shared a Napolitano with tagliatelle and also absolutely loved it. Judging by the sauce covered mouth and chin my toddler displayed, she absolutely loved it too.
We didn't have capacity to eat anything else so we will have to return a few times to try all the options they offer. Especially the ice cream and deserts.
Overall we had a fantastic experience and meal and can't wait to go back. Wonderful family focused shared meal environment.
Best and fresh Italian food you can find in Menlyn Park Shopping Center proper fresh pasta made from scratch. We recommend this place to all my friends.
