A couple of reviews.
Saltram Estate (Angaston)
Picked up a $29 Scoupon voucher that got the following for two people:
1 Greek salad
1 Chips and aioli
1 serve of garlic bread each
1 12" pizza of your choice (we selected the butchers smallgoods)
Either a Pepperjack Shiraz or a Saltram Estate Ale or a white each.
It was a beautiful day and they said with that deal we could only dine inside for table service, I suggested that I do all the leg work so we could enjoy the amazing surroundings to which they obliged and still waited on us. Then everyone started moving outside.
To top it off you get 30% off from their cellar door if you dine there, a couple of bottles of their cab sav on the way out and I was pretty happy.
9/10 all round, my only fault I could find was the food came out too quick................a rarity.
These scoopon and Barossa wineries are hidden gems, hand in hand you can't go wrong, I've already purchased a few more, another one for Saltram's, it isn't a meal, it's an experieince.
Cafe Di Roma
Wanted Thai food but they were booked out so a walk a little further down Prospect Road and decided on Italian.
Had a Bruschetta (basically a little pizza instead of a roll)
A 9" pizza (half calabrese/ half marinara)
A mains of meatballs
A mains of Spinach and Ricotta Canneloni
2 x Corona's and 1 x Pepperjack Shiraz
Total: $83
Bruschetta was different but very nice.
Pizza was amazing, the marinara side was stacked full of prawns, would get that alone next time but the other half was very enjoyable still.
The meatballs looked like a Tony Soprano sized serving, you know you've got good meatballs when you can push your fork down flat on top and it squishes with ease.
I had a couple of mouthfuls of the canneloni, size and quality was good.
Once again, a solid 9, I loved the way they keep some parmesan at the table for you to top up.
As I paid the owner recognised me as I used to play cricket against him and in representative sides, he said to go see him next time I go back before I order so I guess I'll have to return......................what a shame.
