Trattoria Stefano

Tel: 013 744 9310 OR 073 171 2674
This is the closest (less than 15 minutes) at Steiltes Shopping Centre where the nearest SPAR and ATM point is. As you enter the circle when you have started going down the hill take the third exit, Dr Enos Mabuza Drive, drive ±300 metres and turn right and just past the filling station on the right hand side you will find a small shopping centre. Small and cosy. Proper thin wood oven pizzas (take away as well). Service is slow but relaxing. Owner run and the owner and daughter might sing a bit of operetta during dinner. Need to book for dinner. Inexpensive.
