How a slice of Italiana found its way to Hoedspruit we’re not sure, but this place serves up authentic and quality dishes from the motherland. Try the pasta al forno (cream, mushrooms and ham baked in the oven with mozzarella cheese). The food takes a while to prepare, but it’s well worth the wait, and the terrace tables are a lovely setting.
