😐 Including menu ‘cause it’s absolutely impossible to find otherwise. Bolognese and carbonara were decent, pasta slightly softer than ideal but good flavour. Edit. If you saw that photo of my friend no you didn’t 😌

Borruso's

👍👍 Such a lovely dinner out with family on my first visit to Cape Town. In Kennilworth is where this quaint, traditional Italian gem can be found.
