\nPhoto:\u00a0Ulrich Knoblauch<\/h6>\n

This trendy, Italian-ish restaurant serves some of the most delicious inspired cuisine. While you won\u2019t find your standard pizza size at CLUB KLOOF<\/a>, you can enjoy their pizzettes, which are slightly smaller. The base is made from a 113-year-old sourdough starter, resulting in this miraculously light and tasty bread that puffs up beautifully when cooked by the fire. Their toppings are equally flavourful, relying on the quality of the ingredients. All their pizzettes are worth trying; if you want a classic, go for their cacio e pepe<\/a> or the garlic confit base with marinated tomato and buffalo mozzarella. Their tiramisu is also sensational.<\/p>\n
