Si Cantina Sociale

I took my friend to this restaurant on her birthday and she loved it. The food was delicious, the service good and the atmosphere was perfect for the birthday dinner we had. I also enjoyed the music in the background (afro beat, if you are wondering). I will definitely be going back in the near future.

PS, A special thanks to the manager who took lovely pictures of us, we really appreciated that.

I went yesterday to Si Cantina Sociale for lunch. It was empty which was nice to be able to talk and be able to hear one another. They had instrumental versions of popular songs playing which was nice but not blaring.

The menu was a bit different to the online menu that I looked at beforehand. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t have the poppers anymore. The menu has a nice wide variety and even a vegan menu which was great. Although my friend wanted to order the vegan pizza but then there was no vegan cheese and they were out of the vegan dessert which was quite disappointing.

I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushrooms sauce and chip. The chips I didn’t really enjoy but the crumb on the schnitzel and sauce was good.

My friend ordered the vegan burger and it was delicious. It didn’t taste like veg at all and was heavily processed. The side salad was disappointing with too much salad dressing and too much lettuce. But the burger made up for it.

I wanted to order the crème burle but unfortunately they didn’t have any stock. We ordered the meal a pudding instead which was delicious.

The service was good. Atmosphere was pleasant and nice and spacious seating.

Other than the lack of stock it was a good experience. I think when they give you the menu they should tell you beforehand what they don’t have in stock. Instead of deciding on something and then being told they don’t have it.

I would definitely try it again and see how the other items on the menu are.

It was relatively empty,being a Wednesday afternoon so I cannot rate the vibe. Lovely service. Lovely food. Beautiful space. I was particularly impressed with their healthy food range on the menu. You do not have to ruin your diet.

Great service and the beyond meat burger a really good option for vegetarians and vegans.

The two times I was there the ambiance of the restaurant was very relaxing, playing an upbeat mixture of pop, neo soul, RnB and acoustic covers. During sundowners the restaurant fills up with light yet still cool because of the architecture and color palette.

Love the location and interior of this place.
we had some Tapas, Calamari weren't flavorful (if you're into Grilled Calamari), Chicken Strips and Chicken Wings were delicious ????????.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and wine selection.

Look forward to my next visit ????

No masks worn by staff or management. Food was good but not great and staff were very nice. Definitely need more sauces and spices in meals and as sides...if you offer vegan food you also need vegan mayo. Seems like a very cool place to watch sports as the staff are chilled and the vibe is decent, maybe just need a menu overhaul.
