A wonderful Italian restaurant. You won't be disappointed. We will be back. Thank you
Best pizza in Cape Town with super helpful, friendly service every time🖤🖤🖤
Came here to work in the afternoon, was nice and quiet. They have a lovely outside section in the back that is shaded that was great for the warm weather. The pasta was delicious and the aperol sprits was great.
A special place indeed. It was entirely an authentic Italian experience and the food was absolutely amazing! We had felt transported to Italy with the smells and the host was so welcoming and politely greeted us Buona Sera at arrival! I already knew i was gonna have a good time. Ordered the calamari starter, soft and flavourful! We ordered the Carbonara and Pasta con pisellii e prosciutto and wow amazing! We grabbed the nonna lina + ravioli to go and again, top value and authentic! The bruschetta as a welcome was a class touch! Highly recommend and cant wait to go back!
The food was delicious. We tried 2 vegetarian pizzas. They were delicious. The amount of veggies and cheese were perfect.Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!
Very good food. Renewed my brothers belief in pizza. I was not as happy as I selected the wrong one. The pasta were both amazing 😻
A really amazing Italian restaurant. You can see that it has been here for a long time. It looks like they have a lot of long time regular customers. The food is excellent. The service was good, the waiter tired very hard and was very friendly. I would definitely go back there and I recommend this place
