​​La Cucina de Ciro​
​GENIAL host Ciro Molinaro presides over this cheerfully informal neighbourhood establishment in its new home, a beautiful old house on Seventh Avenue in Parktown North.

Frequented by such "schlebs" as journalist Gwen Gill (who coined the term) and literary foodie Jenny Crwys-Williams, La Cucina has a devoted regular clientele and rarely disappoints, which is probably why it was one of three Johannesburg establishments to appear in the Dine 100 list of Top 10 Restaurants: Everyday Eating, sponsored by Wine magazine and Diners Club International.

The menu, changed monthly, offers a range of exotic starters, signature pastas and main dishes, including fresh line fish, T-bone steak and roast Karoo lamb. 

43 Seventh Avenue, Parktown North
