“In Bocca al Lupo”
Which means “Good Luck” to Neil Grant of Burrata fame
for the future of his second great restaurant. Bocca (means mouth in Italian)
is on the corner of Bree and Wale Streets in Cape Town and last night it was
rocking. They have a lovely, simple menu with something to suit all tastes and
we got to sample some of the pizzas with a glass (or two) of wine. People were clamouring to get in, a
restaurant across the road with a similar theme was empty and we think it is
going to be a great success. They make
the perfect Margarita pizza. Just the right tomato sugo, good herb flavours and
superb mozzarella on a thin pizza base.
And there are lots of other flavours to try.
