Live Music Thursdays at Andiamo
Kiss the workday blues goodbye with good food and great tunes at the magical Cape Quarter Piazza
After another long week of the regular nine-to-five routine, it’s nice to imagine a place where you can escape and pretend, even if it’s only for a couple of hours, that you’re in a completely different world and your only concern is that your glass needs refilling. Well, every Thursday Andiamo restaurant and deli offers just that kind of experience at its home in the enchanting Cape Quarter Piazza.
The Italian eatery is set within the centre’s European-style cobblestoned courtyard and offers up beautiful blues played live by talented guitarist Steve Walsh alongside its crisp thin-base pizzas and generous helpings of more-ish pastas. On summer evenings, guests can sit outside and enjoy the balmy air while the fairy-lit pepper tree at the centre of the complex casts a romantic glow over the tables, and in winter, they can cosy up with something warm inside the lively dining area.
To complete this idyllic scene, veteran musician Steve Walsh serenades diners with his Fender electric guitar, harmonica, Tom Waits-esque raspy voice and a repertoire of old classics and blues songs. So, while you’re tucking into your cheesy lasagne or savouring a sip of wine, you can expect to sway along to everything from familiar hits, like ‘No Woman No Cry’ or ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’, to bluesy renditions of Neil Young and Billy Joel.
With all the ingredients for a perfect getaway (even if it is still in the same city), the live music Thursday sessions at Andiamo are just the antidote to the working-man blues.
