bar angolo @ la piaza, top ryde shopping centre

I'm eagerly awaiting the opening of Kazbah at Top Ryde Shopping Centre (I wonder what's the delay?) but in the meantime, there's actually quite a lot of dining options to whet the appetite. Hurricane's is also due to open up and well, it almost makes sense that they've staggered the opening of the restaurants so that you can actually try them out one by one. The thing I love the most is that now we have all these new restaurants which makes dining in my area so much more fun. So far, I've tried two of the restaurants at Top Ryde and well on my way to try the third with the buy one, get one free main voucher that got handed out the other night for Citigrill.

Anyway, just a quick post of a weekend lunch at Bar Angolo where the boy and I were keen to check out their pizza and pastas. Here's a thirst quenching House Made Lemonade to start the meal.

Introducing the Porkstar - that's the pizza. All things pork on a crispy thin pizza base - yum!

Surprisingly there are only 2 pasta options on the menu, either these meatballs or a Carbonara. Discovered an extra option on the specials menu but still a rather small selection. Not something to complain though because these meatballs and pasta were awfully tasty!

I eyed the desserts cabinet which housed a good selection of Italian sweets. With the outdoor seating, would be good to come back here for a coffee and a bite of something sweet. What I find interesting is that right next door is another pizza and pasta place. Anyway, will have to get round to try the one next door and let you know which one is better!

It's so cute you had to clarify that the porkstar referred to the pizza not J lol Food presentation looks good and the place looks neat. Like you, I am awaiting the new Kazbah's opening!

I've only been to Top Ryde City once, soon after its opening. I hope to return once everything is finally open to try out a few places. I know the BBQ pork at the Noodle City(?) place is very bad though ....

I can't wait for Hurricanes and Kazbah to open at Top Ryde either. Somewhat closer to home but, more importantly, better parking options!
