As always we were warmly greeted and well looked after by the friendly waiters and Manager, Ken.

While enjoying the fresh air outside we decided on the Tapas to try.
A diner has the option to choose 6 or 10 Tapas to feast on, with the selection spreading from the vegetarian to carnivorous to sweet and decadent.
For starters we selected:
• Mini Tofu Caprese. This bite consisted of fresh tomato, slices of tofu, topped with lovely basil pesto and was a fresh and flavourful twist on the more traditional Caprese (with Buffalo Mozzarella).
• Arancini. This was a risotto ball with mushrooms, parmesan, and buffalo ball mozzarella, and was packed with flavour. Deep dried and drenched in a lovely truffle infused sauce, this is one of my personal favourites.
• Gnocchi Tomato & Basil Pesto. The well-prepared gnocchi, served with a lovely fragrant and lite sauce.
• Gorgonzola Gnocchi. Equally well-prepared gnocchi. Served with a creamy cheese sauce, with subtle hints of gorgonzola.
For our mains we chose:
• Smoked duck. This was delicious. The slices of duck were tender with a great smoky flavour. This was served with mung beans and a rocket salad, complimenting the duck.
• Sticky smoked BBQ chicken. This chicken was soft and flavourful, served with pineapple
• Pork Belly Bite. The pork was char grilled, with a nice crisp edge and served on a bed of mash.
• Hot Thai green chicken curry. This is a flavour treat for anyone loves Thai food. Fragrantly spicy, with beautiful notes of coconut and chili. This was served on wild & brown rice.
Instead of desserts, we selected 4 more of the savoury Tapas on the menu (to make sure we didn’t miss anything).
• Herbed Meatball & Linguini. The meatball, although being lite was well seasoned with herbs. This was served with some al dente linguini in a lite tomato sauce.
• Grilled calamari. Soft, melt in your mouth calamari tubes served in a sweet & spicy oriental dressing.
• Grilled Hake Goujon. The hake was perfectly grilled crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. This was served with a smooth and fresh lemon grass cream.
• Beef Fillet al Fiume. This bite of fillet was topped with rocket, parmesan, and a balsamic reduction. Each component contributing towards enhancing the flavour of the Beef fillet.
This restaurant is always a great choice for anyone who needs a lazy afternoon in the sun, and enjoy the company of loved ones.
Their tasting menu was delicious
OMW, the tapa menu was amazing. We were able to try a variety of dishes that are on their main menu and everything was just delicious.
A little bit of a drive from Centurion but so so worth it.
We had the loveliest tappas dinner at Al Fiume. It was a cullinary adventure that left us feeling smiling and satisfied. Looking forward to doing it again.
Very nice setting, good food and service

About Al Fiume
Cuisine: Mediterranean, Italian
Al Fiume - Italian for 'at the river' - has all the ingredients for a great restaurant: a beautiful setting on a shady wooden deck on the banks of the Hennops River and a restaurateur with a passion for food, as well as the experience to ensure outstanding levels of service. Al Fiume serves food that lives up to our definition of quality: the season's best, cooked with skill and passion and presented with a minimum of fuss.
The cellar at Al Fiume is stocked with a diverse choice of Italian and South African wines. The selection includes everyday drinking wines and wines for special occasions; wines from some of South Africa's best-known estates and unusual wines from smaller estates.
Al Fiume is a restaurant for all seasons: long, lazy summer days on the wooden deck; bright spring days when the first signs of green are starting to appear on the trees overhanging the river; bracing winter days when you might want to work off your meal with a brisk walk over the bridge and cozy autumn days when you can sit snugly in the restaurant and watch the falling leaves floating down the river.
