La Cucina Di Ciro - Johannesburg

We visited for supper on Valentines Day yesterday and it was a good experience overall. There was a set menu available which I initially was a bit disappointed by as I had planned to order from their regular menu but I was pleasantly surprised. My husband had the fillet on the bone and I had the baked salmon, both dishes were perfectly cooked and flavorful. For Dessert we shared the pistachio meringue and that too was great. The ambience is pretty nice and romantic for night out with your SO. The dishes are quite pricey though, roughly R275 each for mains.

It was a delightful Sunday lunch experience. The menu offers a variety of options that cater to everyone, and Ciro is more than willing to adjust a few dishes for the kids. It’s always a pleasure to dine at a renowned restaurant owned by a famous chef who genuinely aims to make the experience enjoyable for all. I started with snails cooked in garlic, chili, and saffron butter, followed by mussels in tomato sauce for my main course. Both dishes were extraordinary!

Venue is nice really cozy atmosphere.Staff was really friendly and on point Chef went around to each table introducing himself and the daily specials.Food was good a bit overpriced.Overall experience good.

My man and I had dinner at La Cucina last night. We were blown away by the cosy setting, on-point service and sublime food. We started with the fennel salad, which is light and refreshing. I had the pumpkin souffle for mains and my boyfriend had the pomegranate rib-eye. We were both practically licking our plates at the end. We finished off with a delicious creme brulee and the meringue roulade. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending this venue to all our loved ones.

This restaurant serves the best mushroom pasta I've ever had. I have a particular love for pappardelle pasta—I can't quite explain it, but I believe the wider the ribbon, the better! The pear and Gorgonzola salad is also outstanding.
