    "Il be back" -who said that again? No not because it was so good-cause I want to see if the pizzas are bettererer than the pasta. The waiter was the hi lite Attentive Chirpy Energetic All that nice words Breath of fresh air--don't know his name but he has a bull ring thru the nose - what a guy He suggested the brushetta to share Was fantastic 9/10! I thought this was the start of a great experience-Not I had a Pescatore and student had carbonara. Mine was uhm -lack of taste sounds better than tasteless--search for the seafood - so I hammered it with parmesan and black pepper--still a 5/10. Pass. Student had a carbonara-same ship different captain Bland--creamy though --flat baconish meat that was actually very tasty-still a 6/10 Previous week the carbonara at uhm the italian place near fat butcher was the best in the western cape! + sparling water + very nice Glenelly Cab caraffe=R770 tip included. Come to think I should have tipped Mr Bull ring much more. Hê desrves it On the way to the car I carried my doggy bag in one hand in front of me -just to hear -"dankie mnr" --and away walked a street guy with my doggy. Iit was funny and I was actually reliefed that I departed with it in this way - I knew it would get a 9.9/10 from him C u soon Mr Bull to give yr pizza a go-it looked Yummy. Ps. To bond with yr studentchildgrowingtoadult is always a 100/10!
