    The pasta was dry and dissapointing. Of the four dishes around the table, tjree of them wa extremely dry. The bruscheta at R95 a plate is adisgrace and speaks of greed and stingyness and in no way represents Italian hospitality and culture. Two small pieces of bread, looking lost on the plate represents everything that Italian generosity. At R80 per bottle for corkage fee, Asta la Pasta has one of the most expensive corkage fees in Stellenbosch.
