Balducci at the V&A Waterfront offers an unrivalled menu of simple, everyday Italian dishes that reflect the most traditional elements of food and culinary styles. Our Italian Chic menu offers food that is relaxed and restorative, while at the same time being creative, modern and affordable.
Balducci has a simple philosophy: to provide a memorable experience by redefining the essence of good, real food and upping the standards, with its clean understated formality, crisp white linen, racks of sparkling wine glasses, beautiful views and gracious service.
The emphasis is on providing good quality food that is simple, fresh, filled with passion and served in style, including the delicious onion zuppa garnished with an African macadamia nut pesto, carpaccio of venison, or the Melanzane alla Parmigiano, amongst other things. A luscious line up of pizzas includes specialities like the white pizza with mozzarella, goat’s chevin cheese, smoked kwaito (Gouda), Parmigiano with sautéed spinach and garlic on a béchamel sauce, or try the Osso Buco or the Parma Ham.
