With authentic Italian dishes combined with more traditional South African style cooking. Renata had always wanted to open a restaurant and believes that fate brought her together with Thurston just as he felt ready to run his own kitchen.Like many Italians, Renata brings an extraordinary passion to everything she does, but she is also a perfectionist. This is reflected in the menu where only the freshest ingredients are used and everything, from the exquisite pasta to the warm wholewheat bread, is made by hand in their own kitchen. For a taste of Italy, you can try the sensationally soft gnocchi pomodoro e basilico, crema di asparagi, or the equally impressive ravioli dello chef. If your taste leans more towards South African dishes, you can try the slow-cooked lamb shank with freshly picked garden herbs and roasted new potatoes or the pan-fried prawns on a bed of guacamole, dressed with a creamy Riacha sauce. Remember to save room for the delectable desserts as nothing can compare to the baked chocolate pudding with an orange sauce or Chef’s Delight – Thurston’s famous chocolate cheesecake with its fine texture and subtle chocolate flavour.
