When it comes to traditional Italian cuisine and memorable dining experiences, Settebello, the popular Italian restaurant nestled in the heart of Bedfordview, Johannesburg, ticks all of the boxes.

The restaurant, which celebrates its fifth birthday this year, has become a popular dining destination for patrons looking for incredible Italian cuisine – but prides itself on offering a complete dining experience for diners at every visit.

Here are five delicious reasons why Settebello deserves a spot on your dining bucket list:

Quality ingredients and a full menu

La Ciccia Carne Diem Evenings
Last month, Settebello announced their exciting new Carne Diem evenings which take place at the La Ciccia expansion of the restaurant. These evenings offer an exquisite nine-course menu that pays homage to the art of preparing and savouring beef, showcasing Settebello’s dedication to elevating meat to an art form.

With a “family-style” seating arrangement, where approximately 40 people share a table while being served delicious meat dishes, sides and includes a selection of wines and dessert, these evenings have proven to be a hit. Priced at just R900 per person, the Carne Diem evenings are the ultimate celebration of meat.

Due to high demand, Settebello has announced that it will be adding additional dates and the Carne Diem evenings will now take place on 26 October, 2, 1 November, 9 November, 30 November and 21 December 2023 as well as 1 February, 29 February and 28 March 2024.

Breakfast buffet bliss

At Settebello, breakfast is not just a meal; it’s an event. Their breakfast buffet, which takes place every Saturday and Sunday morning, is a feast of tasty options. A wide menu is on offer which includes fresh pastries, cereals, fruits, sandwiches, hot breakfast options, sweet treats, fruit juices and so much more.

Every so often, the breakfast buffet options are themed. On the 28th and 29th of October, a spooktacular Halloween-themed breakfast buffet will be available where some devilishly good eats will be served up. Whether you’re an early bird or prefer a leisurely brunch, this buffet’s got something to kickstart your day.
