Restaurant Reviews by Judith Back to top
**** Piza e Vino, Cambridge Crossing, Paulshof:
This is one great place to come to especially with children who can make
their own pizzas. It's very good for the grown-ups as well. We came on a
Thursday
night when they have live music, which was a real treat. Here the hot chocolate
is to be in awe of - a glass of hot milk is brought accompanied by a small jug
of dark hot chocolate, so that you can mix the two to your preferred strength! I
chose Flagstone Chardonnay - hey I'm really getting to know new wines these days!
My partner went for Pasta Napoletana and I for Calamari Fritti with a touch
of chilli. Both dishes were excellent. Mduduzi's service and the attention of
the managers as well make this a restaurant to recommend.

**** Doppio Zero, Chilli Lane, Rivonia Road,
Sunninghill:
Prima Piatti has closed so Doppio Zero won us for the evening. Always a
friendly restaurant to go to, if a little noisy! I ordered False Bay Chardonnay
and my partner went for hot chocolate. We then shared the oxtail, which was a
really great choice. Rich and meaty and a worthy portion to feed two people!
Bongani gave us excellent service as well.

Credibility Gap?
Uncredible?
Julius says that if the MDC had won the recent
Zimbabwe elections, it would have been incredible! They didn't win;
therefore, the results must be "credible".
