Lorenzo’s Cucina Italiana
Located next to Delaire Graff Restaurant, Lorenzo’s will seat up to 40 guests under a dramatic Iroko timber pergola, created to give both scale and a sense of intimacy to the new space, surrounded and interwoven with beautifully bold flora and fauna.
Relaxed Luxury
Locally made, brown clay Klompie bricks, which are traditionally used in South African architecture, are paired with antique stone to form the backdrop for a striking pizza oven. Clad with 250 individually hand-patinaed bronze panels, it adds a theatrical centrepiece to the space. Crafted to resemble a magnificent jewel, it pays homage to the expertise of the restaurant’s namesake, renowned diamantaire Laurence Graff.
The Menu
The menu features classic Italian dishes, with antipasto offerings including Wood-Fired Artichokes, Burrata Caprese and Veal Carpaccio. Wood-fired pizzas include toppings such as Beef Bresaola with Caponata, Buffalo Mozzarella and Parmesan; Fresh Truffle with Buffalo Mozzarella, Stracciatella and Parmesan; and Prawns with Chilli, Red Pepper, Garlic, Buffalo Mozzarella and Rocket.
Diners can also choose from an exquisite array of handmade pasta, including Basil and Ricotta Tortellini, Linguine Vongole and Fresh Truffle Spaghettini with parmesan, nerona cream, pickled and grilled zucchini.
