Comments:
This was our second visit to La Cuccina, although the first time we hadn't eaten there. They offer both a small set menu or a buffet style "pay per weight" option.

We went there for breakfast. Our cappuccino's arrived very quickly and were tasty enough. They were accompanied by a biscuit.

We went to investigate the buffet only to be rather confused by the concept. Some items were pay per weight, others were pay per item. Only problem is that you didn't know how much anything costs. When we asked the server, she didn't seem to understand what we meant. So we opted for the set menu.

The buffet consists of everything from yoghurt to pastries to sausage and flapjacks.

We decided to keep it simple and ordered the "Two and Two" which consisted of two fried/scrambled eggs and two slices of toast for R25.00. Only complaint is that both the fried and scrambled eggs were rather undercooked.

Service was friendly but quite average.

We found their prices on the expensive side, especially for what you get.

Verdict:
Will we return? Yes
Would we recommend? Yes

We visited again around breakfast time.

La Cuccina Breakfast Roll - R38
Homemade rocket pesto, crispy back bacon, fresh tomato on a toasted Ciabatta, topped with a soft fried egg & rocket
Verdict: Long after we had placed our order, the watron informed us that they had run out of rocket pesto.  Not feeling like anything else, we asked them to cancel the order.  5 minutes later, the watron came back and told us they were quickly making some more pesto for us. I was surprised.  We shared the meal between the two of us and must say that we really enjoyed it.

Americano - R13.50: was quite strong but ok

Cafe Mocha - R20 was average but expensive

Service was average.  Except our waitress never brought our bill when we asked for it.  She then disappeared.  We had to go to the counter to pay.

Verdict:
Will we return? Yes
Would we recommend? Yes
