This restaurant at the V & A Waterfront was so great that after our first visit we just had to go back again. On Both occasions it was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly without being annoying and the filet steak was probably the best weâve ever eaten. Topped off with excellent local wines and a fabulous view of the waterfront, this was a terrific venue in a superb location. We both really enjoyed it,

They have a huge breakfast selection. The staff we so friendly and accommodating as were a party of 6, who werenât able to decide what to have, and they were very patient. We celebrated my motherâs 70th birthday breakfast there, with bottles of fizz, and they made a fuss over her, which was nice, and made her feel really special. They donât rush you either. They also do a takeaway option, we bought lunch, taken it away and heated it up for tea and it was again lovely. I would recommend if you in the area, stop and have breakfast.

This restaurant is slightly hard to find being at the end of Keeron street which is between the popular Long Street and the Company Garden but be sure to make the effort to find it. There is a delightful lounge bar at street level, and tabled restaurant in the basement. Weâd recommend the safari: 5 fillets of game meat, but all the dishes looked excellent. My cognac came in a proper brandy glass over a tumbler of boiling water so the steam had warmed it through. First class food and first class service.

We decided to eat here again on a return trip to CT and I think this will be our go-to for great Italian food when visiting. Atmosphere is really nice and lots of pasta as well as fish and meat dishes. A little pricey but a lovely evening

Nice atmosphere here and friendly staff The pizza was average and OK. The pizza is for sharing for sure since they are big and too much for one person. The waiter suggested I take half half of their two most selling pizza so I did. Ok pizza and it looks like a popular place Hi 333Helge,Thank you for taking the time to review Col'Cacchio Foreshore. We do appreciate all customer feedback and we're always open to suggestions on how we can up our game. Please could you kindly send your suggestions and contact details to [email protected]?

This understated local pizza place serve the best pizza in Cape Town. I wouldn't say its a first date spot, but whenever I'm in CPT I always make a stop here. Definitely a spot to have lunch with friends. (not sure if they still run it, but their lunch time deal cant be beaten for price and quality) The service is always good and the manager (Karl) is a really friendly and helpful guy. Dear guestThank you so much for this amazing review and especially for your continued support. We appreciate our regular customers very much. Thank you too for the kind comments about our staff, we do it with pleasure. We are happy to report that our unbeatable lunch special is indeed still on :) We look forward to seeing you again.All the bestThe Goloso Team

The name says it all!!! Very good meat and an overall terrific dining experience. Our waiter was terrific and amply handled our very demanding party of 8!. The wine list was first rate and the desserts were delicious. Over experience was terrific. We are glad that our first day in Cape Town was capped off by dining at Carne.

Not sure about this one. Highly recommended a number of friends said to me. I love Italian food, it is relatively simple and perfectly tasty. No surprises. However suprisingly easy to make a mess of. You have the passionate skill or not. Somehow to me that was the bit that was missing. Perfectly prepared. To me flair, passion missing.Hi Jeep And hi friends from Tripadvisor,We are potty you had this average experience and we would like to. hear more about it.We are passioned and also sometimes absessed as Italian for our food. We love the perfection, the preparation, the research of each sigle ingredient and its very hard. for us to hear that you didn't find all this in our dishes.However please if you have some advice or you would like to talk with us about what didn't work for you please send us an email.. For us sharing knowledge about food is always not a wasting of time.Ciao

Authentic Italian family-owned restaurant. Fresh Italian dishes by Chef Enrico Tarantino. Bookings essential via phone, WhatsApp or SMS. No email bookings.

I didn't end up going which is a shame because I was in town for the marathon and wanted a really good Italian meal. I had seen such great reviews of this place in particular. Unfortunately, they have no website (!) and the only way to make a reservation is by calling or messaging them. As I do not have an International phone plan, I tried to message them through Facebook and Whatsapp. Nothing. So at a fairly nice cost to my phone plan, I left two messages (during open hours) and they didn't call me back. They may have good food (unfortunately could never confirm that) but their customer service needs work. Get a website (preferably one with a reservation portal!)
