We visited the Pizzeria and did not stay in the accommodation.
We did the wine tasting beforehand so that we could choose the perfect accompaniment for lunch. The five reds did not disappoint, and we especially enjoyed the Gemini blend and Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasting was a leisurely affair, and we enjoyed sitting on the stoep on a beautiful winter's afternoon.
There is a change in the air at Under Oaks Pizzeria, and it has been revitalised with new management and a revamped menu. The views remain wonderful, making it a splendid spot for some lunch. There is more to the Pizzeria than just pizzas with a small but lovely selection of salads, antipasti and pasta.
We opted for the pizza and they are an absolute winner - thin and crispy with a good selection of toppings, or you can build your own. We have tasted some amazing pizzas in Cape Town, but the Pizzeria is right up there with the best. Our only complaint would be that the toppings were a bit meagre, but this is preferable to an overloaded top, leading to a soggy bottom!
Desserts were a slight disappointment (I don't think that milkshakes qualify as a dessert!), and whilst my Panna Cotta tasted okay, the texture was too runny.
Otherwise, service was impeccable, the weather was perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at both the wine tasting and at the Pizzeria. We look forward to a return visit.
