Italian breakfast at Osteria, Somerset West

Our previous visit to this venue was in October 2012 for the launch of the 2013 Platter wine guide. It has changed a bit
We were overnighting with friends in Somerset West and wanted to take them out for breakfast/brunch
They suggested this restaurant, Puglia Osteria Cheese Bar below Waterkloof Wines on Old Sir Lowry's Pass Road

Busy with breakfasts and bookings for lunch for unexpected customers
because a local festival had been cancelled due to high winds

The menu

Two poached eggs with pancetta in a rich tomato sauce, with parmesan crisps was good and very filling

A Diavola pizza made with mozzarella, chili, tomato, onion, basil and gluten free flour



Frittata with ricotta, hollandaise, pesto, shaved pecorino and dashes of tapenade

All accompanied by orange juice and, for one of us, an excellent Americano
