I know we're not far into 2022, but this is my meal of the year. Absolutely amazing! Delicious food, reasonably proced, fantastic waitress. All around fantastic. Visited for Sunday lunch, but will certainly be back for dinner. Good for couples, families or groups. Inconspicuously located - what a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor!

We recently attended a Bingo evening at @asiago in aid of raising money for 2 charities. It’s the first time I have been to Asiago, and it was so much fun. The restaurant was completely full for the evening, and you could easily see that there were many friends and family in attendance and also regulars of the establishment.
On arrival we were given a welcome drink, which was my kinda drink called Zinger – Homemade lemonade, fresh mint and a splash of Vodka, served chilled it’s a winner.
They have a good variety of food on their menu, and also check out their specials board with some additional options to choose from. For starters my family and I ordered:~
The cheesy Garlic Prawn Loaf, it definitely had enough garlic, but the bread got a bit too hard to bite, I think maybe if its cut down the middle and the toppings put half inside, would help. The Asiago Ritz, this was nice but it was more Avo than anything. Mac n Cheese balls with bacon, tasty and full of flavour. Wood fired chicken wings, Italian style. Cooked well and nicely spiced.
The Bingo was about to get underway, so we placed our mains order in the meantime. While waiting I decided to try one of their Gu0026T’s and wow, I picked a great combination. I ordered the Tincture Alchemical Gin, comprising of Kiwi, Mint, Lime Gin, Lychee Juice, and of course tonic. I will happily have that again and again.
Bingo then started, and it was such fun, Michael from Footlights entertainment got everyone ready and eager to scream BINGO as soon as they could, its sad to know he is emigrating to the UK, but wishing him all the best in his new ventures. It was lovely to meet you.
For mains I tried the beer battered hake and chips, the fish needed to be cooked a bit more but it was nice with the tartare sauce and skinny fries. My family had the Pork Belly with Sweet potato mash and veggies, the crackling was divine and was properly "crackled" as i would call it ????; the Ravioli, and the Prawn Tempura starter portions.
All in all, great meals, super service and a fun vibe.
Thanks to Bridget and Shirley, for a lovely evening and food, it was fun being part of the Bingo evening. Also a thanks to Thembi and the rest of the wait staff for superb service. I have to give a special mention to the fact that all the waiters and even the “barman” were Woman. So bigups to that, I think it’s a fantastic female run team, and it was even better to see everyone in a happy, smiling mood for a Friday full house.

Great little Italian spot situated on the outskirts of Benoni, they have a really unique menu which one can see alot of thought has been put into. There was loadshedding when we arrived but the super friendly and informative staff along with the neighborhood cat were on point in making us feel welcome.

Many locals were noted coming by to collect the Saturday "2 for R150" pizza special.

We tried the brie and cranberry puffs (pizza oven baked cups) along with the garlic and bacon roll to start which were both fantastic, our very fussy 7 year old devoured the kiddies Margherita pizza cups to which she gave them a double thumbs up.

For mains we shared the Asiago wrapped chicken breast pasta (home made pasta), lamb shank with mash and the oxtail ravioli, all were very hearty and tasty, it is clear everything is made from scratch and hits the spot perfectly.

We are not from the immediate area and make a point of trying new restaurants as often as possible, Asiago is highly reccomended and worth the visit.

Lovely quaint intimate restaurant with beautiful decor and friendly staff. Food was delicious and we loved the roaming cat coming to greet us.

Awesome food and a wonderful venue.

Asiago has an extensive menu with lots of amazing options. I picked chicken wings to start and lamb ragu ravioli to follow and both were delicious and filling for a lunch time meal.

Would highly recommend!
