    Mitico   Tamboerskloof, Cape Town
    Great pasta   | By Colin | Wednesday, 01 February 2012
    St. Elmo's on Kloof closed down, to be replaced by Mitico, where you can also get pizza and pasta. It is a happy substitution: Mitico is not a pre-fab chain, and may even be "authentic" Italian (Italian host, Italian pizza slinger, plenty of Italian customers).

    The spaghetti puttanesca is really excellent, with a perfect balance between tomato richness, chilli heat and briny zing from capers and olives (I can't remember when I last tasted such flavoursome capers).

    The pizza was good too (we had the "prosciutto", which is that Cape Town favourite of prosciutto, or parma (?), rocket and parmesan). Is it the best in town? Depends what you like. It's not exactly a thick pizza, but neither is it as thin and crusty as at Bardelli's down the road (which, for all its crispness, unfortunately lacks the puffy charred crust of Mitico's). So it's a little doughy, and a bit too cheesy for our tastes. By no means a bad pizza, but one you wouldn't want to eat too much of.

    Let's face it: those of us town-dwellers who love a thin, crispy pizza with always wonderful ingredients - the kind you can easily eat LOTS of - sometimes wish we lived closer to the Holy Pizza Grail (ie. Massimo's, Hout Bay). But for a pavement evening on Kloof Street, I suspect Mitico's will become a firm favourite.

    They had just gotten their liqour licence on the night we visited, but were only offering white wine. So bring your own red, no corkage for now.
