2018 - February - Rosebank Piza e Vino

18 February 2018

We had a braai ‘date’ on a Sunday at 2pm – in Centurion Golf Estate, with my in-laws.  Since Hein has been using the Gautrain-bus and Gautrain on a regular basis, he suggested we make a trip on that Sunday … 

So our 1^st leg …  we drove my car to Centurion Gautrain station.

We boarded the Gautrain to Rosebank!  Walked around a bit, got some interesting keyrings for earrings and stopped at the Piza e Vino for lunch.  (https://pizaevino.co.za/rosebank/) 

Oh my goodness!!  The décor is rusty with tin walls and different styles of mirrors on the other wall.  We sat in the shade, watching people … and did we have fun!!!  Dressed up people, dressed down people, weirdly dressed people …

A plate with miniature Focaccia’s were placed in front of us – with an eggplant (Babaganoush) dip and tomato relish.  Wow, these little Focaccia’s were yummmmmmy!!!

Looking at the menu, we decided on a selection of starters.

I really loved the idea of a side order of Zucchini spaghetti, served with garlic, oil and feta.  And it was AMAZING!!!!!!! 

The Garlic Bread Fantastico - a roll, sliced and FILLED with bits of bacon and cheese and garlic .... yummy!!!!!!!

BUT THE BESTEST OF THEM ALL ... was the Polpetta Farcita (a giant meatball stuffed with spinach & mozzarella, served with AMAZING creamy Parmesan Napoletana sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) It was pure and utterly heaven on a plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Served with crispy bread slices.  Next time, we will order that with just plain fettuccini / spaghetti … it will be great!  But funny enough, there’s a branch in Eagle’s Landing, Weltevreden, and I didn’t see this on their menu …. (sad face).

After a fabulous lunch, we walked back to the station, back on the Gautrain all the way to Centurion … and drove to our braai.
