A little bit of Italy in Hilton.

Recently there have been a spate of new restaurants and coffee shops opening in Hilton and we are spoilt for choice.

On a whim our daughter decided that we all needed a lunch out and it was to be her treat.   It was a Monday so we did not head for the Midlands as most restaurants are closed on Mondays. We stayed local.   A new pizzeria had caught my eye and although I had not heard anything about it I thought we may try it out.

With baby (and all that goes with it) en tow we set off to the old Jakaranda Centre in the middle of Hilton.   Nestling in the corner right at the back of the parking lot behind Khubeka Trading Store is this dear little restaurant with the most amazing, inviting smells emanating from it.

Di Caprios.

We were met by a mother and daughter team, who were extremely friendly and made us feel most welcome.   A carafe of water with lots of ice and lemon was brought to our table together with the menus.   As it was a scorcher of a day we were most grateful.

The menu covered wood fired pizzas, every pasta imaginable, grills, salads and desserts.   I ordered the Farmhouse Pasta Bake which consisted of Penne coated in a creamy cheddar sauce topped with extra cheddar cheese.   The others both had the Alfredo Pasta with farmhouse ham, mushrooms, cream and heaps of garlic.

Both dishes were fantastic.   Well presented, and very, very tasty.

Di Caprios has a Facebook page where you can peruse the menu in your own time and order your food to be delivered or to be collected if you prefer a take away option.

We certainly will be supporting this little gem in the future.
