Cuccina de Ciro

Salud

Finding a good Italian restaurant is a little tricky. Its like find a good clean public toilet, there are many around but few are well kept.

When you enter Cuccina de Ciro, in Parktown North, you walk into the open plan area with the kitchen in front of you. It feels like you are walking into an Italian home with the mama cooking, but in this case its Ciro, a chef with the passion of cooking inscribed in his face.

We started with a green salad with Parmesan shavings. We would have liked to have warm bread rolls to accompany the salad but we were not in luck. We then ordered our mains; Dimitri went for the fillet sautéde in red wine, Sasha (Dimitri’s wife and accomplice in food tasting) ordered the Salmon with salsa and vegetables. The fillet was perfectly cooked with an awesome aftertaste of satisfaction; the Salmon was fresh and amazing.

We then ordered a first time for DimitrION, a chocolate crème brulée, and one word to describe it, orgasmic! We walked away from this rustic restaurant with a smile.

This week we would like to know if you have a favorite crème brulée, email us at: best@yourtastebuds.com

Until we eat again,
