Nice place to come with friends for a coffee and some desserts or cakes. Nice ambiance with the piano in the background. Creme Brule is always great experience and always super fresh and tasty. Great place to to have chats. Not a place to come for a meal but rather to socialize.
Can’t believe this place is supposed to be a restaurant/lounge in a 5 star hotel. Walked in and at least 3 waitrons were chatting and none of them bothered to seat us so we seated ourselves. Waiter place our menus on the table and disappeared. We had to get up to ask a waiter to serve us. Ordered some coffees and spicy chicken mayo sandwiches. Waited 20 mins for the sandwiches to arrive and when it arrived the chips were cold and stale and the sandwich barely toasted. Asked the waiter to give us fresh chips and he was not impressed by this and decided to check that it was actually cold. No apology was offered. Chips arrived after we finished our sandwich with no plates just the chips in a copper saucepan. Had to call a waiter again to bring plates. The waiter had such an attitude when we asked if the chips should at least be served with plates to eat from. What an absolute disaster.
Just finished a quick bite at the il Ritrovo at the Michaelangelo, and what a disappointment it was. After eventually asking for a table, it took another 10 mins to get any service from the staff, to the extent where I had to get up and ask someone if we could place our orders. We ordered the spicy chicken mayo sandwiches and cappuccinos. After about 20 mins the sandwiches arrived, the chips were cold and when asked to be sent back the waiter even checked to see if they were infact cold, which is quite insulting. The sandwich is probably the worst TCM I’ve ever had, with the toasted leaning more to the side of just bread. For an establishment in a 5 star hotel their staff have alot to learn. I’m not sure if its cause they are working the graveyard shift but I expect the service and quality of food to be consistent, no matter what time it is.
In the midst of Sandton’s booming and buzzing, IL Ritrovo Lounge offers a serene, calm, and relaxing environment. The ambience is amazing, live piano, and what I consider to be one of the best cigar/smokers lounge in Johannesburg.My favorite meal by far at this place is the Chicken Curry.. Their presentation is amazing, especially with the Créme Brulé.. And the staff is very helpful. An added bonus is that you are allowed to order from the Piccolo Mondo which offers a completely different gourmet meals menu.
An afternoon of tea and baking at the Ritrovo lounge , by far the most tastiest carrot cake ever !!! , well priced good service and an amazing experience.
