Col'Cacchio Gateway

Col’Cacchio Gateway is an elegantly Italian pizzeria. We’re all about thin based pizzas, gourmet pastas, and freshly prepared salads.

A mark of a good pizza place is their ability to at least get the Margherita Pizza right. Sadly it’s one of the worse I’ve eaten.Hi Ajr349,We are so sorry the pizza wasn’t up to scratch and would like to look into this ASAP! Please, may you send your contact details with a copy of this review to [email protected]?Regards, Col'Cacchio

Last reviewed in 2016 (4) - ownership has changed and pleased to say we found the new owner extremely pleasant and the food up to the expected standard - we had starters of prawns and calamari and we shared a mains mussels in white wine, garlic and cream - this was not on the menu but mine host was only to happy to oblige and it was very good - prices still reasonable - staff friendly - a 'go to place' for a nice evening

Alfredo was incredible, delicious creamy and full of flavour, gnocchi was a surprise favourite with a mix tomato and creamy sauces. Butternut ravioli was divine, could be slightly bigger portion. Loved our visit and staff were friendly and helpful.

The menu is perfectly short with just enough choices. We had starters, main course and desert and all the food was excellent. The service was also top notch. Worth the drive from Umhlanga. They should just offer more different wines by the glass. Will be back.Thank you for your positive review @Riaan F. Please do visit us again.The Remos Originale team

Reviewed By oppulentdurbantravel

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I booked a table for 12 people on 17 Dec 2018 to celebrate a family event.The service was diabolical from the moment we entered the restaurant and it was quite embarrassing as our waiter was not that busy. We had to walk up to her on many occasions to request service. She also got our drinks orders incorrect. We had to pour our own Mort champagne as she was clearly not interested.Eventually we complained to the Manager on duty (Juanita ?), and she was very defensive and unprofessional.Our meals took over an hour to arrive and the diabolical service continued. The food was excellent but the experience was clearly soured by the service by the manager and her waiterNB : When we left and reached the car park , the manager started sarcastically wishing us well for the festive season from the balcony

The food was just ok tonight. And the service was less than that. And it wasn’t even busy! Starters: focaccia with mozzarella cheese and onions Mussels in a white sauce Mains: Chicken Alfredo With penne Spaghetti with Lobster - the sauce was very runny. Chicken - my son said that he did not enjoy it Lamb chops with salad - just an okay dish Desserts: Ice cream and chocolate sauce Cream caramel slices - these were really good

Reviewed By zerwickrenatevictor

My husband and I had the pleasure to have lunch at Angelo’s on Tuesday, 9 April 2019 during our holiday in Umhlanga Rocks. We were warmly welcomed and chose a table inside. The restaurant boasts a romantic, inviting and up-market ambiance. It also boasts Italian flair. The lunch menu boasts a variety of dishes which is the same as the dinner menu but smaller portions in some cases and is excellent value for money. We had a bottle of Buitenverwagting Buiten Blanc which we thoroughly enjoyed. It is also worth to mention that the sparkling water they serve (aqua v) is absolutely delicious.We respectively had the cheesy focaccia, beef carpaccio, sweet chilli prawns and Alfredo pasta. All the dishes were prepared using fresh ingredients and tasted delicious. Compliments to the chef!Our waiter was very friendly and unobtrusive. The friendly manager also came to our table to inquire if we were satisfied with our meal and we had a delightful conversation. It was our first meal at Angelo’s in all the years (14) on our annual holiday in Umhlanga Rocks but it will certainly not be our last.

We purchased almond croissants as a take away from this establishment yesterday. Firstly they were not actually baked as almond croissants with the filling inside. Instead they were plain croissants cut across the middle with filling spread over the half of it. Secondly they were so so stale and dry that it became evident it was not baked on the Sunday morning(which the waitress attested to). But the thing that irked me most is that my husband actually paid R110 for two croissants. At R55 each you would expect to eat something out of this world. Rather head on down to the Village at Ferucci Bakery where you will find much better for about a third of the price.

Vovo Telo

Reviewed By TravelJoel

We found VoVo Telo in Umhlanga Rocks last year on a trip to Africa and returned this year. Our friends father lives close by so we stopped into see him. Vovo Telo has the most amazing bread/bakery items i have ever tasted. They use a more dense bread dough even for their croissants and it has an amazing very light sweetness to it. There is a "bar" area for the kids to make their own bread animals with the bakers. Eggs and other breakfast items are some of the best. Love this place. I wish we had one in Reston Virginia!
