Godi La Vita

Carol had read about Godi La Vita a few times. Being in Unley, the first suburb south of the CBD, without a car, its like on the other side of the planet; even though we could walk there in 20 minutes. 

When the two guys at Kalleske, who had already demonstrated their competence regarding food and wine, told us about their fantastic meal, we made a booking while sitting at Kalleske. 

After two busy days is the Barossa, dinner out with Uber rides to and from is what we need. The restaurant is located on King William Road south of the city.

We begin with cocktails and arancini. We are not big fans of arancini. We like when they are good but  too often they are hard and dry. These are among the best ever, if not the best ever. CJ orders a limoncello margarita. Carol has an Aperol spritz. 

This place's claim to fame is cheese wheel pasta. They prepare the pasta inside of a cheese wheel, melting and gaining the flavor of the cheese as it cooks.

Such a delightful blend of flavors. CJ has a spicy pasta with sausage, It is the Piave Cheese Wheel and is made with spaghetti, pancetta, chilli, tomato, and brandy. CJ adds the Italian sausage to his dish.

Carol has the Parmesan Cheese Wheel Pasta a mushroom pasta where the pasta looks like octopus tentacles. It's made with curly fettuccine, field mushrooms, cream, wine, and brandy. 

It has taken far too long for us to try this place. It will likely become our favorite Italian restaurant that doesn't specialize in pizza.
