Exceptional
Standing proud in the centre of Kapparis is the only authentic international eaterie in the area … Serving traditional and contemporary Italian cuisine, with a fusion of International Mediterranean ideas, using only the finest ingredients, to create tantalising gourmet dishes, at exceptional value for money.
Wine Bar Ristorante
Now in their second decade, building an excellent reputation, with a well established clientele from all over Cyprus, and to many, it’s their favourite !!! I’ve been eating here since they opened and it’s definitely one of mine. These days they are swinging towards a Wine Bar Ristorante, combining a modern family atmosphere in a minimalist design setting, it’s cool and breezy through the summer and warm and welcoming in the winter.
International Menu
A selection of hot and cold starters, my favourite has to be the Antipasto Misto Alla Just Italian, a Chef’s selection of assorted antipasti to share … tbh there’s too much to mention because they are always launching new dishes, and specials, so you’ll never get fed up of eating here! … oh, and there’s a menu for the kids too!
Wood Fired Pizza Oven
Naturally in an Italian kitchen, a Wood Fired Pizza Oven is a must … it’s the only way to cook your authentic pizza creations to perfection … but one of my favourite features here is the real charcoal oven and grill, which adds natural smoked flavours to the chef’s specialities …
Dry Aged Beef
Specialising in the ever increasing popularity of this new cooking process, prime cuts of Australian or Irish Black Angus are cured and dried in three speciality refrigerators for a minimum of 28 days. The result is the tenderest most flavour enhancing beef you’ll ever taste. It’s an expensive process, that reduces the moisture and in turn weight of the beef so you’ll normally only find it in good steak houses or upmarket delicatessens, and I believe this is the only restaurant serving Dry Aged Beef in the area!
Amazing Brazing
A new addition to the Just Italian kitchen is the Big Green Egg, allowing them to flame grill their meats whilst smoking them under the closed lid to enhance the flavour of these delicious Prime Cuts.
Salads
The choices are just amazing … imagine, baby spinach leaves with dry figs, strawberries, sesame seeds, goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. That’s the Insalata Spinacci, just one of my favourites!
Main Courses
It’s hard to choose a main course! The pasta is fresh and there’s a gluten free selection the sauces are just tantalising … I love the Carbonara, hmm, or the Risotti Gamberoni with king prawns, fennel and basil pesto.
Prime Beef Cuts
I have to say, their charcoal-fired oven gives the speciality meat dishes that little extra touch of class … You really must try the Picanha, fresh Irish Angus Rib Eye or the Bistecca a’la Fiorentina, prime mouthwatering cuts of beef cooked to perfection and served with oven potatoes and seasoned vegetables … just to die for!
Variety
There’s also delicious pork fillet, chicken favourites, fresh fish, like sea bass or salmon, finger licking king prawns, and mind blowing desserts including a fantastic homemade Tiramisu but omg ! the Capricciosa Cake, it’s Hot Chocolate Lava, with almonds, served with mint ice creammmmmm!
