New Italian steakhouse to open in Cape Town southern suburbs

Friday, August 22nd, 2014 by Amelia Frenkel

Southern suburbs folk will be pleased to have another top-notch restaurant in their hood, as SA’s best steakhouse, Carne SA, opens another branch in Constantia.

His second, smaller Carne on Kloof Street has been open for less than a month, and chef-proprietor Giorgio Nava says it’s busy every day. Now he’s hoping to transfer the successful franchise to Cape Town’s southern suburbs.

“I chose Constantia,” explains Nava, “because there is a lot of potential; I believe customers are looking for something like this in the area.”

Due to open in mid-September at 114 Main Road, The new restaurant will be taking both its menu – “meat and Italian” – and décor – “wood, steel, grey walls, red elements” – inspiration from the original Carne SA (Keerom Street), winner of the 2013 Eat Out Jacobsdal Best Steakhouse Award.

Highlights from this menu, recommended by Eat Out panellists, include: the 1.2kg T-bone; ravioli filled with slow-baked lamb shoulder, sage butter and parmesan; sweetbreads with artichoke mash; prime rib on the bone; hanger steak; La Fiorentina (for two to share); the bresaola with lemon juice and olive oil; and Karoo lamb with sautéed spinach. The restaurant’s beef and lamb are reared on Nava’s very own farm in Nieu Bethesda. Look out for details and booking information on www.carne-sa.com and stay tuned to Eat Out for reviews after the restaurant opening.

      Why so much hate?? To even go as far as using the word evil (in CAPS) Clearly you’re not in the restaurant business to understand that not much MONEY MONEY MONEY is made unless LOTS OF HARD WORK is put in. So bravo Chef Giorgio Nava for building such a good business and wishing you all the best. Reap every single benefit from what you’ve sown. Never stop thinking 😉

    Awesome news – always nice to have a spot close by for a decent steak!!
    Looked at nearby restaurants that are listed – constantia uitsig is non existent and has been closed from mid year already. You can add the new La Colombe’s address though – Silvermist Estate

    Happy dining

    She means evil in the sense of general life…in conjunction to this crazy world of over spending and being charged in general far to much for anything. And unfortunately you guys chose the restaurant industry or maybe it chose you…and that s the ship you have to sail. lol…good luck Madam. and don’t be so bleek…Don’t get pigeon holed.
