Giovanni's at Eikendal Winery

Reviewed By FMH1971

It was a cold wintery day with a table of 13 with family and friends. There is a very extensive menu including kids menu, starters, salads, pizza, pasta, seafood, meats and a page of specials. This often makes me nervous as I know it’s difficult to execute such a big menu well but I can honestly say that every one of the adults and children thought there meal was fantastic. The portions were generous which was great as it allowed us to taste some of the other dishes and I am already planning our next trip se we can go back for more! There is also an outside seating area with jungle gym for kids which would be lovely on a sunny day.

The place has been fixed up and menu improved I am glad to say. It's our Saturday lunch local after hitting loads of golf balls at the range.Dear Shaun,Many thanks for the kind review and your continued support. We are still in a " work in progress" stage with bigger and better things to come. We will be focusing on the bar next, complete with a whole new look and feel, we will then tackle the kitchen. We look forward to seeing you again soon, perhaps tomorrow, being Saturday.

there have been some changes at this restaurant, and we went along for Xmas lunch. Oh my, it was simply gorgeous. Superb menu, in the great Italian way, superb ingredients, not too much fuss, (sorry chef I know you fuss a lot over the food but it comes out so clean and easy on the eye) and the results are stunning. The staff were lovely, and it is somewhere that has a wonderful ambiance. I have been away for many an xmas, and that was the best xmas meal abroad ever.

Such a great atmosphere! We first there went on a cold, rainy Monday evening, it was really quiet because of the weather but it was still fantastic. We walked down from the place we were staying at while on holiday. Centrally located. Food was amazing!! And at such good prices!We visited again while we were on holiday in the area. Definitely recommended to anyone who lives or visits that area! I'd love to visit again in the future.

Visited twice during Feb and March during my annual pilgrimage to Somerset West. On the first visit I fancied the chicken livers as a main course which were only shown as a starter our waiter checked with the manager who immediately said no problem. They were great. Went back again as we had noticed their special days advertised. The any pizza day provided excellent value and the pizzas were really great. Service was pormpt and the waiters very friendly and efficient on both occasions. Highly recommendHello Publican5501,Thanks so much for reviewing our Italian family restaurant. We are delighted to know that you received great food and service.We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit.Warm regards,Casa Bella

Great Italian food: Go for the specials of the day, and if you want to taste how real risotto should be, this is your place – it takes 20 minutes to make it but it is worth the wait.

Taking friends to lunch we arrived at this beautiful winery to experience an excellent tasting room for both wine and olive oils, with charming and knowledgeable staff. The restaurant position overlooking lawns and lake are beautiful, and the food is excellent with of course an excellent selection of varietal, locally produced wines. Well worth a visit.

Reviewed By 323melanief

Having not eaten at Giovanni's for a number of years, we decided to go there again tonight. I must be honest, it was average. I had the kingklip with rice and a side of veg (butternut, beetroot and green beans). The kingklip was just okay, the rice was VERY al dente and the beetroot had a taste I cannot quite pin-point. I suspect that the idea behind the beetroot may have been sweet and sour, but I cannot be sure. In short, the quality was not what I remembered Giovanni's to offer.My husband had a sirloin. He said it was closer to well done than medium. His general impression was also that the meal was just okay.Our waiter was very friendly and I have no complaints about the service.All in all, I would say that our evening was average. I am not sure, given the options in and around Somerset West, that I will be back.
