You can simply taste fresh, quality cuisine served – Bruschetta topped with tomatoes, basil, olive oil and balsamic glaze, calzone, garlic cheese or olive fetta pizza breads …
Caprese Salad – slices of fresh roma tomatoes, bocconcini cheese topped with basil and drizzled with olive oil; or check out ‘melt in your mouth’ grilled baby octopus Mediterranean style, served with salad and chilli Napoli.
Grilled Haloumi, crumbed Calamari both served with seasonal salads – tangy freshness mixed with cheesy haloumi or juicy calamari bursting with flavour in every mouthful.
Hearty pizzas loaded with bacon, prawns, olives, garlic bocconcini sprinkled with capers (Caprese); or simply with fresh tomatoes, basil and cheese (Margarita); vegetarian or traditional Hawaiian, there are choices to suit every taste!
