Nattliv

il Giardino Degli Ulivi is an Italian restaurant situated amongst the olive trees in Milpark, Johannesburg. I don’t think it is possible to pop in here just for a quick bite - no, this is one which just begs for the spend of a long lazy afternoon. It is just that kind of restaurant.What I also notice every time we go is how family friendly it is. Kids play in between the tables and under the olive trees, try their hands at pentanque and my little one loves the swirling fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Add to that the live music on Sunday and the place just oozes atmosphere. On Friday nights their band plays fabulous Roots, Bluegrass and honky tonk music – perfect for after work.There are only a few restaurants, I think, where location, menu and atmosphere all equally add to the experience. This is one of them.
