The Seafood Risotto, meanwhile, is packed with clams, mussels, calamari and prawns, making it another appealing choice for those who like their dinner with a taste of the ocean.
- Of course, a good pasta menu needs more than seafood. Bellagio Cape Town also offers comforting options such as Bolognese, alongside Penne tomato slow cooked tomato, basil and mozzarella. The Spaghettini aglio garlic, olive oil, parsley and chilli is a straightforward favourite, while the Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Mediterranean vegetables and mozzarella offers a vegetable-focused alternative.

With such a varied selection, the menu gives diners plenty of reasons to return and try something different on the next visit.
