We heard about Ciao Bella about a month ago from our hairdresser and then again from the homeschooling group in George. We decided to visit yesterday and ended up spending about an hour and a half eating, drinking and chatting to the owner, Eben. Very warm and welcoming :) Great experience and will definitely visit again. Just a note on the location of the venue. It is situated in the left hand corner of the 'Checkers St George's Square' if you're turning in from Knysna Road.

Caspita Mediterranean Family Restaurant

Caspita is a mediteranean family restaurant and venue offering an overall great experience. It's all about food, family, friends and fun.

Reviewed By 247LiveLife

I had heard some very good reviews of Caspita, and was looking forward to going to try their food.The venue is really child (and dog) friendly, and has amazing facilities for the kids.But the service.... We asked the waiter what the low carb pizza base was made from. He didn't know. He took our orders after a long wait, and didn't remove the menus from the table. We waited about an hour for the food to arrive. It was served by a waiter who we watched wandering around the restaurant with our food, but didn't know which table it was for!! Our original waiter eventually told him who the food was destined for, but then they didn't have a clue as to who had ordered what!! Our plates were not cleared away when we were brought the menus for desert. We didn't see any management around, and no one came to check on us.When we left, we noticed a "braai" outside the back door of the kitchen, which was cooking up a storm.We left disappointed, and indifferent. We will try it again, and hope that it is better. Pizza's were definitely overpriced, and not value for money. Mine cost R170 and was tiny, tasteless, and possibly the worst I have had in my life, and an average pizza is R140. Very little topping, and a low carb base which was literally paper thin, tasteless and awful. We were told we couldn't order the star pizza with our own choice of topping., but that it had to be cheese only!Good afternoon I am so sorry that you were dissatisfied with our meals and service. I wont give you excuses but I would like yo ask you to please ask for me the next time you visit Caspita. You can ask for either Michelle or Dominic please. I have brought in a new low carb base from Cape Town and I would really like to get your opinion on this one. Your input is very valuable to us and we will do whatever it takes to remedy this.

Furniture uncomfortable- & decor shabby. Table sticky. Extensive menu of classic Italian dishes, presented on "clipboard"! Food presentation simple. White plates, & food. No fresh basil or garnish. Reasonable portions. Tasty.Dessert selection for a Friday was disappointing. No Tiramisu, nor creme caramel- simple dishes. Just Ice Cream. Good espresso to finish meal.Service - indifferent.

La Cantina

With its traditional Italian menu, La Cantina treats guests to an authentic Mediterranean culinary experience ranging from homemade pastas to succulent steaks. Its extensive menu includes meat and fish with an extensive wine list and its decadent dessert

Reviewed By CoJonesUK

On our annual George visit this remains a compulsory venue, and is one of the few local restaurants that has never dropped its standards in terms of service, decor and cuisine. Highly competitive in respect of the variety of menu coupled with unrelenting quality coming out of the kitchen; everyone in our party was satisfied with their mains, and I have not found a better pizza in the George area. The desserts were equally enticing and the Dom Pedros are exceptional. Our waitress was attentive, courteous and non-intrusive, an absolutely exact performance. See you next year!Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your most recent visit to La Cantina. We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful dining experience and enjoyed our pizzas and divine Dom Pedros. Thank you for visiting us and we look forward to welcoming you back to La Cantina next year
