Really enjoyed the pizzas, nice thin bases and they also have glutin free bases.

We actually love this place, always a good vibe and amazing food.However the payment is quite an inconvenient/embarrassing experience. This place has no card machine. If you pay via Zapper, the staff expects/requires you to show them a proof of payment when you leave the place. Not a very hospitable act to give the patron the feeling of being controlled.

Review №32

Friendly service by the family. Lately they have been serving more varied meals, not only pizza and pasta any more.The newly renovated interior is much better, its a lighter, cleaner look than what it used be.The only drawback used to be that it was cash only, now they have Zapper, which makes paying much less painful.

Forneria gets visited often by myself for takeout. The food is very good. The restuarant is nice and unpretentious and they have a liqour licence . Want a candle lit supper not overwhelmed by loud music - check, want an Italian restuarant run by real Italians - check

Review №50

Food and service is good, informal Italian. They serve pasta too and theyre licensed.The restaurants acoustics is bad, not enough sound absorbing articles/materials, so people tend to talk very loudly and it can get very noisy as a result. Bothered me a bit, but not the other people a my table.Cash only or Zapper (or perhaps Snapscan, cant remember)

Ignore the questionable location in a shopping plaza - this is some of the best Italian food in the greater Cape Town area. The owners are bona fide Italians and always around to give you tips. Pizzas and homemade pastas are all amazing. Save room for dessert!
