Something’s cooking at Trattoria Maranello in Melkbosstrand. Local artist Claudia is busy transforming the backyard of “the house of Ferrari-Food.”

When she is finished the “backyard-without-a-view will be very much a backyard-with-a-view, and a distinctly Cape Town one at that. Claudia interrupted her work on the 3-D murals to smile for us.

This looks like a lovely place to while away  afternoons.
