priva lounge

what a lovely place. i've been to ritrovo before but had no idea there above lies such a gem. this gorgeous lounge has such a beautiful view of the area. i love the intimate feel of the space and the stage set up for live entertainment. the delightful dessert we had makes me super keen to come back and sample some of their other dishes.

am amazing place for sure. i loved the ambiance and the stunning decor. the staff were friendly and very welcoming. we ended here as one of the contestants for the desert challenge in pretoria. what was presented to us was mouth watering.

we were served a vanilla panna cotta with apple pureè, apple and strawberry compolè, blueberry reduction, mango pureè, lemon curd. sour cherry gel, with pistachio, saffron and coconut sobert on a bed of pistachio crumble.

the texture presentation and actual desert was out of this world. it was so refreshing and summery. it just made me feel as though i was on an exotic island with this scrumptious desert that just tantalising your taste buds.

it was very unique and packed with a burst of flavour.

loved it... neeta raga-d

i can't help but give this restaurant outstanding points. from the lovely atmosphere upon entering up until the classy service. indeed a definition of fine dining. i went here for thepretoriaexplorer dessert challenge of 2016. the chefs put up an amazing creative dish called a not so fruit salad. considering the competition was against chefs of international standard i was shocked to receive such a perfect elegance on my plate from a young team of innovative chefs. i am one who loves to fault a dish but to be honest it was flawless. i can't wait to write the actual review which will be published in our dessert challenge brochure at the end of the year.

the best view and the best panna cotta can be found at priva. we missed the sunset but the panna cotta definitely made up for it. the servers are friendly and welcomed us with warm smiles. can't wait to return for a special dinner.

this is a stunning venue!

the servers are friendly and efficient.

the dessert for summer is cooling and refreshing. i loved the panacotta! it was creamy and delicious, was not overly sweet.

love the vibe!

an amazing 'surprise birthday' dinner was enjoyed by my friends and i last night. the service was really top class. from the co-owner marco showing me around the place, to going through the various wines they have in their collection. personal bartenders going to our tables to mix drinks, to our waitress kayla being super friendly & providing excellent service. quality food & live entertainment for the ambiance. really impressed & highly recommended.

amazing place!!!! perfect view! got there at sunset, had wine while the sun was going down. our waitress blessing, went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. the lamb rack was delicious, medium-well, well seasoned. not forgetting the live jazz band. hey man, i'm definitely coming back!

no negatives here whatsoever. went there for a birthday dinner and loved every bit of it. the service is great and staff well trained,the setting is great but of course one goes to a restaurant to eat and wow,superb. had the ravioli for starter,sirloin for mains and then the fondant and strawberry cheesecake stack...all excellent. and of course a huge variety of wines etc.

what an awesome experience , been there twice .. found it by pure luck when the owner gave us a tour . needles to say we have been looking for a proper jazz restaurant for a while and here we found one of the best. music is always good, food is top notch and service is impeccable .. there is a personal touch put in everything of this restaurant which makes it unique.

absolutely a fine dining experience. every dish was awesome and the idea of half size mains allows one to enjoy a wider range of their excellent dishes.

the sommelier was superb. he provided spot on recommendations for wines and whiskey, as well as interesting facts about the origin of the drinks. a master of his trade.

live jazz band and very talented singer made the evening complete

brilliant evening at priva lounge!
recently dined at priva with a friend who is strictly vegan. i called in earlier in the day and the manager told me that they would prepare something suitable. i was stunned with the result of the meal that was created for our visit. a great deal of thought and care seemed to have gone into preparing a 3 course vegan meal. we were seriously impressed to say the least. the starter was exceptionally tasty and presentable and the same goes for the main course which was such an interesting and inventive mix of ingredients. the best was a delicately prepared dessert of chocolate mousse with no dairy ingredients. i was baffled by the depth of taste in this dish. had no idea that vegan food could be so interesting and tasty. utterly impressed with this experience and the pampering received by the staff! dining gem in out capital city!

the owner fortunato was absolutely hands on, on every dish that we tried had a combination of starters, a combination of main course and a combination of dessert all i can say that when fortunato told us at the beginning we are going to be in a food coma, he was absolutely right. the food is to die for, awesome food with an awesome setting in the wine cellar. this place is awesome and i don't give 5 star ratings often. but this place really deserves it, well worth the drive from jozi

a stunning setting. live music.... good service ... thank you brenda

and even better food....thank you chef jane 😄😄

what more can i say.....

we will be visiting again 😄😄

absolutely fantastic service and immaculate food!! my steak was made a perfect medium, amazing portion and the wine and cigar menu give you so many options to choose from.

i've been wanting to go to priva for ages now and i finally got my chance. the atmosphere is amazing. we were welcomed and seated and received wonderful service from blessing our waitress! the food was amazing and served on nice hot plates! i would recommend priva to anyone looking for a place for a special night out!
