Customer Reviews
Jonathan Yau
Very busy restaurant which is a great sign. Ravioli was great. Well made with a great sauce but the dessert was such a disappointment. I was very much looking forward to a good tiramisu but it came out very watery. Service was standard. Overall I would come again for the pasta but avoid the dessert.

Best Italian restaurant in Cape Town. Front of house service and ambiance was excellent. With such a young chef, Tristan is on his was to be the best. Thank you for the amazing experience.
