LA MASSERIA, DURBANVILLE

Date:  5 January 2010
Hosts:  Don & Rita
Group:  10ppl

Our first dinner of 2010 :)
We had a small group this month, but still managed to eat and drink enough for 20ppl lol.
La Masseria is an old house that they've converted into a restaurant.  Big venue with a lovely outside section.
The food was good - don't ask me to name anything by the menu names as it was all foreign to me :)
No one had starters aside from the bread baskets on the table.
Being an Italian restaurant, their speciality is pasta and home made breads - I had the trio of pasta which was lovely and way to much food!  They have a 'bottomless' meal where you could choose from a selection of foods set out on a table inside.  It looked lovely although we would have preferred more warm foods in this selection as everything from the chicken to the mussles and meat were all served cold, only the pasta was warm.  Didn't stop a few of us from going back for seconds :)
The veal topped with parma ham also looked delicious and the Dorado topped with a tomato salsa was very tasty!

If you're looking for a cheap night out and a quick meal, this wouldn't be the place to go as even their pasta's start at R85per plate and white wine per glass R22 - R35
But other than that, the service was good and quality of the food excellent!
