7. Lambrusco's Italian Dining

Reviewed By ZA_world
Cosy trattoria with traditional Italian menu, costed as a special occasion experience. Modest pasta portions allow for multiple courses; opt for pizza if you're on a budget. The ravioli is exceptional - be sure to specify for it to be done al dente - and grab the seafood pasta if it is on special (not a standard on the menu) as it is beautifully presented and very tasty.

Set in the hub of the Rosebank CBD is Doppio Zero's flagship restaurant. Located in in the exclusive open air piazza at The Firs, this popular eatery is well frequented for business lunches, casual dinners and weekend getaways.

I walked around the Firs looking in at all the restaurants and I immediately noticed the alert, interactive watrons and a lovely ambiance.I'm glad I chose to eat at Doppios Zero, the staff are friendly, helpful and assertive, When you ask for advice, they give it boldly- KUDOS!they know their menu and they keep their eye on you without being intrusive- KUDOS!Maybe many others also offer excellent food, but its the experience overall that counts in points.My pasta dish was very hot, on a hot plate, as pasta must be and the advice on choice from my watron Collen, was 100% spot on.I could see most patrons were also really enjoying the evening- the food, service, company- ambiance.

This restaurant is perfectly situated for romantic meals and reflection. Being in Nelson Mandela square, gives it a special aura and ambience. However, after being served by 3 different staff members, who could not even manage a smile between them, my husbands meal was luke warm and served on a cold plate which he absolutely hates! My meal was presented perfectly but how can you screw up a fruit and muselli. My husbands chips were very cold and he had to send them back and even when they came back, they were only luke warm. Toast was served without butter and again had to be asked for. It is such a pity that this establishment in a prime location with high prices has such poor service and does not seem to care at all about its clientele.

Very disappointing meal at exorbitant prices ( value for money) Pasta was penne from the packet and the sauce was heated salty cream and some bacon was thrown on top. I had better meals from a packet. This restaurant is in Melville, we should have known better because the place was almost empty when we arrived and left. I was not in the mood to complain after a 600km drive. I sincerely hope they will pull up their socks.

This restaurant has a lovely dining area that's almost picture perfect and creates a sense of peace and tranquility. Service is very relaxed - I finally asked the chef if they're open after waiting 15 minutes for any assistance.The menu is extensive with a focus on Italian dishes and salads/grilled dishes are expensive and fairly limited. I opted for the chicken salad - a small meal that was tasty but not of the standard that I would have expected from this type of restaurant.All in all an average experience

Unusually, Francoâs doesnât charge corkage on the first bottle of wine you bring. Isnât that nice! This cosy restaurant has good food at plain prices, a lovely homely atmosphere, no pretentions and pleasant, ordinary, unfussy South African service. Nothing special, just a hearty enjoyable meal in lovely company at a reasonable price. What more could you want.
