The food was excellent but a little over priced. Portions on the spaghetti and mussels was spot on yet the meat seemed to lack something on the medium sized plate. Over all the taste of the food was top notch the romantic lighting added a little something to the vibe as well. Definitely a place to go for a date.

This hidden gem is as authentic as it gets when it comes to real Italian food. The lightest pizza base with some chew to it made from a 150 year old mother yeast (this is a good thing!) and simple yet absolutely delicious toppings. Served with some Bottega Processo and Rosso wine, it was a great way to start the weekend. This was a private event I attended. They are only open for dinner. The setting is relaxed and casually elegant. Try it. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Food was decent, not overly impressed. I thought my Cannelloni portion was on the small side. The staff were friendly and efficient. Cannot really complain about anything. Was an average experience.

Tried black wildebeest, kudu and springbok all in one meal! The meal was described as small portions but I felt the portion was perfect! My favorite was the wildebeest by far!Also got the carpaccio with palm hearts and parmesan cheese - everything was delicious!

Wonderful meal and awesome service. I had the three antelope meat main dish which I didnt love but wanted to try. Well prepared, just not a flavor I liked. The gnocchi with gorgonzola was amazing, wonderful wine, awesome dessert...

Almost perfect... Food was good and simply prepared. The grilled fish was prepared including mussels and their sauce didnt do well to the grilled prawns, salmon and tuna. Service was very attentive and kind but then we waited for more than 30 minutes for the Meringa which we then skipped... Nice location and comfortable chairs and tables.

Great food as usual. The rolled pork is always a winner. Fondant is nice. I like the low key decor and the tree in the middle of the restaurant

The restaurant is simple but nicely decorated. The service was very friendly and professional.We would have hoped for a little more from the food, frankly. The food was ok, but not more. The portions (mainly side dishes) are rather small considering the prices.

One of best Italian restaurants in Cape Town. White Table Cloths and napkins. Very good service and tranquil atmosphere makes dinning here a pleasurable experience. Prices a little on the high side but it is good quality for the cost. Very good wine list. A restaurant always worth a visit on special occasions.

Just as good as it was 14 years ago! Excellent, honest food that sticks with the Italian tradition of “good food” and not “let’s-serve-food-that-people-will-publish-on-Instagram”. Go there! You will not regret it!

This is an excellent Italian style restaurant. The food quality and presentation is superb , but I do think their price on wine and still water is over the top. Come on guys your food speaks volumes ??

Italian food as you were in Italy!! Chef Giorgio spent some time with us explaining the dishes and it was amazing to understand the care and time needed for every dish. Even the bread, 4 different kinds, is homemade!! Outstanding!!

I was definitely impressed with 95 on Keerom. The food was good. The waiters were superb. The bar downstairs is an awesome waiting area. The head chef greets you and details the specials for the evening, but good luck in understanding him, I could not really understand the Italian chef with his thick accent.

Venue is very nice, service was friendly and speedy, food was ok, some was delicious, and some was less than ok.Had the rum drenched dessert...way too much rum, every mouth full was like having a neat shot of rum with some pastry and custard.Choclate mouse and brule was very good though.Carpacio tuna and salmon starter needed some salt, but was great, spinach ravioli was divine, veal shank stew was ok.Great for a nice intimate evening with a premium feel.

Good food but VERY noisy. This is one of those new fangled restaurants designed to have a lively buzz. But the buzz is so loud you cant hear your neighbor not to mention someone two chairs away. All surfaces are rock hard. Sound deadening is seriously needed.

Probably the best experience I had when visiting Cape Town. The restaurant is stylish, but not pretentious. The service is friendly and kind, but sometimes it takes a while to get what you want. The food is amazing, authentic Italian food. The wine list is big, giving you the chance to order the perfect wine for your night.

A very Good experience from the kitchen side, this is a real Italian high end restaurant that I can recommend in Cape Town.Pity that you are charged without advise for any little extra....at the end had 25 zar for additional bread, 20 zar for a ice cream ball that I didnt really want....I call this little cheap economies who make all the difference when you have to pay at the end. I just feel like a tourist in Naples....Owner (Italian) was around but didnt realize....

Review №57

The wether doesn’t give us a smile the all evening. The food is ok but not an Italian athmosphere at all. If you like really good Italian good for lower price-> the cousins trattoria!

Should everyone dine at 95 Keerom? Probably not.If you are looking for a food porn fusion adventure maybe you should not come to this place: There is nothing flashy about these very simple, Italian dishes. Yet in their simplicity they always seem cooked to perfection. The food is original, flawless and flavourful, served in a bright, spacious environment with copious natural light and even an indoor olive tree.What you might call a bit old-fashioned I call classic which is just a matter of perspective - flashy gets old quickly and often leaves you with unsatisfactory fare. This wont happen at 95 Keerom. It is what I appreciate about this restaurant:A reliable, rock-solid dining experience based on tradition and solid craftsmanship. Love, passion and pride are certainly the basis for their success. If that is what you are looking for, 95 Keerom is for you.Something else in the air of this restaurant makes it very different from other shops in Cape Town. For a long time I struggled to put a name on it. It is the air of tradition. The air of insistence on unadulterated, undiluted identity. They dont just serve the food you order but always serve a side dish of something that too many restaurants seem unwilling or too frightened to deliver:It might hit you hard. 95 Keerom serves Culture.

Review №62

Food disappointing. Good service but food was very disappointing. Nice ambience in restaurant but bathroom was a let down: 1 unisex toilet (uncomfortably small space to wait with someone of opposite sex) and a grubby sink with cheap hand soap that looks like its from PicknPay. Not what youd expect from an upmarket fine dining establishment.
