Manager was not a peoples person but the wait staff made up for it generously. We had the anti-pasta platter, a salad and a Blanco pizza, all great quality and value.The venue is a converted church with high ceilings and a gifted teen with a guitar and a voice. All decorated as a shrine to Ferrari.Coffee was great too.
The food was quite yummy. The wine list was extensive, which is great if you drink wine...The rest of us didnt have much of a selection.
If youve had a rough day or just feel like having a drink with a view then this is the perfect place. They have an extensive cocktail list and their prices are really good too. If you feel like a nibble the focaccia is delicious. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The deck overlooks the ocean which is perfect for chilling and catching some afternoon sun.
My new local! Always a pleasant experience when we visit. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I can’t pick favourites, but Anna is amazing 🥰Food and drink is always great. They even take care of our fur baby! 🐶Apart from the lovely mezze for 2... my recent favourite on the menu is the Spaghetti Vongole. Oh my word 😋 - don’t forget the condiments on the side!My fiancé’s go to is the Luigi pizza. Enjoy! 🥂
It was a good experience.Not the best pizza and not the best pasta.Pasta not al dente and pizza base average.The chicken livers was amazing and my calamari starter tender.It was a busy Sunday and out waiter was very friendly with feedback from kitchen all the time.The Ferrari memorabilia is really awesome.
Best pizza by far on the west coast. Only matched by the friendliest of service by Jason. Highly recommend this establishment. Fantastic Ferrari memorabilia all around.
Wow! We did not want to leave yesterday. It was absolutely magnifico! Everything from the view outside on the balcony the great service from Jason, cocktails, best pizza I’ve ever had! Delicious desert! Don’t know what more to say. It was exceptional. Thank you so much! Also they are dog friendly outside on the balcony, can’t wait to visit again!
Excellent food, great atmosphere... loved the live music 🎶
Great to get Fresh Fish options, we had a fantastic evening.
Intimate, beautiful Italian restaurant on the Melkbos Beach front - with THE BEST quisine...
A proper Italian restaurant. Great food menu and specials. Quality is excellent. Very extensive wine list, local and Italian imports. Grappa list also amazing. Great espresso. Well be going back next week :-)
Fantastic food selection. Pizzas are well worth a visit. A very popular spot with stunning sea views. Excellent service.
Proper authentic Italian.Dont play games.Have italian beer.Order the pizza and the Lasagne.Equals a good time.
A group of us went for sundowner drinks. With views of the beach, this is a perfect spot for drinks. They have a really wide variety of drinks available, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The prices were comparible to Cape Town prices (R50 for my Aperol spritz), but the setting and the vibe does make up for it. Would live to go back during summer!
Great location, fantastic service, and really awesome food. We have discovered a gem!!Second visit from Tableview, this week!!!WELL DONE ALL😃😃😃
Espresso Martini definitely something to try. Pizzas out of this world!!!
Well worth a visit, beautiful place and situation. The food was amazing...Ill definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Mussels were big and delicious. Whole red snapper took the prize for me! Please go and support our local businesses!
Good service and food but small portions so do not ho hungry Have a bite elsewhere before your meal
Hidden gem! Literally! Stepping into a smallish entrance of the trattoria, you enter a huge restaurant with various seating options. There is a bar overlooking the ocean for sundowners. The sea can be seen from certain sections of the restaurant as well. We ordered pizzas from the wood fired over and it was delicious. I also want to compliment then on the friendliness of there staff! The day we were there or was an all ladies team and they were brilliant!
I am ravishing the best Risotto Ive had in years. Plus being serenaded to the deeply melancholic tunes of guitarist/singer, Gareth. Thanks to this trattoria for my fab experience and for making me feel most welcome!
Had a stunning foccacia and pizza!Loved INice setting and tentative staffWill be back shortly!
Awesome location, great Pizza, friendly and efficient service!!Well done guys!!!👌🏻👌🏻
Great Italian restaurant in Melkbos beachfront. Great variety of quality pasta meals at good prices
Super good pizza and friendly service
Great pizza and Lasagne. Great view in Melkbos.
Best food I have had in ages and good value for money. Super efficient staff too
When it comes to pizza, we are very fussy. We will drive quite far to try new pizza places. We were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. The vibe is nice and cosy. Great wood fired pizza and proper Italian feel. Ferraris and Italian decor. On the Melkbos beachfront. The pizza was above average. The dessert was a bit of a let down. The chocolate cake was a tad dry. But a cosy vibey restaurant. Veronica, our waitress, was great!!!
Good food, great service. This little spot looks out onto the beach and has great ambiance. Pizza and pasta mainly, a bit steeper than others.
Loved Dumile - a wonderful guest caretaker🙏
We love this place for the meze (antipasto) platter and drinks. Good view.
A wonderful experience! Their pizza has a thin, crispy base! Delicious beyond words. Then comes the toppings! Words escape me! The restaurant comes highly recommended! It was so great we even forgot to take pictures😀😀
Partner had Kabeljou, and I had Osso Buco, but we found both dishes quite bland and tasteless. Not many people, but they ran out of one if their specials, oxtail. Friendly service. Only 4 beers to select from... Stunning motorsport collection for the aficionados!
Spend a few good hours there with close friends. Amazing experience.
Focaccia (dont know the spelling) R40.00 helova nice. With a glass of white wine..
Best Seafood Plata on a pizza ever. Great service with a sea view.
Pleasant, easy going with good service
Brilliant service by a beautiful waitress.
Great spot. Perfect to watch the Grand Prix!
Hi, My rating was based on our experience with our food choice that evening. Service and receiption were good, vibe as well and we will visit you again. Regards
Having lunched elsewhere, we popped into Trattoria Maranello for dessert. The waiter and I highly recommend their tiramisu!
Always keep an eye on the blackboard outside for what the Fish of the day is! Delicious 😋
We love this restaurant ..Great friendly service ...Great Pizza and Pasta ..Good Draughts ..View outstanding as on the Beachfront . Try and get an outside seat on the raised deck otherwise the view of the sea still very good from inside ..We love this gorgeous eatery
The view is magnificent. The interiors done up charmingly. The service was good and the food as well. We had the antipasto for two and it was enough for the three of us. The pizza was ok. The mexicana was not that hot but tasty nonetheless. A good lunch put with friends and a great walk along rhe beach afterwards. What a good way to spend a day
Great service and food with an amazing view of the ocean
Pizza not that great . Not italian pizza . More like a south african pizza . Almost like Calcaccios pizza . Not hand rolled . Thin base thats dry like a dough they use in a wrap .
Pricey, but best pizza & pasta we have ever had. Service and ambiance top notch. A must to visit. We will go back for sure.
The food is always great I have been there 3 times now in over two years and always a pleasure. The view of the the sea is also very pleasant. If you enjoy Italian food and love model cars even if it is only of Ferrari then this is the place to visit. Would recommend them.
Beautiful setting. Excellent food. Excellent service.
Amazing Mexican pizza. Will definitely be back
Right on shore, what more can you ask for.
Good service, good tasty food and great views!
My family and I often go to Maranellos, we call it Ferrari because of all the mini cars on display and classic Italian theme. Food and wine quality is impeccable and all staff are friendly and welcoming. If you get a spot in the front, you have an amazing view of the beach! A real special place to go in Melkbos. It is a local favourite! Please do try their ice-cream and chocolate sauce dessert. It is delicious!
Great food, amazing drinks and friendly staff. Ask for the vegan/vegetarian menu to have incredible food
Excellent quality meals, authentic Italian dishes, friendly staff, warm atmosphere, at an affordable price.
Always a pleasure visting this beachfront restaurant, the beers are always ice cold , the view of the Melkbos beachfront is great and the locals are always friendly. The staff are friendly and are always dressed neatly. Keep up the good work guys...I have been a regular for 10 years and we at Drainmen Services always support local..well done to Management aswell for keeping things running smoothly even during covid..the hard work, care and effort shows.
Very good food and relaxing atmosphere . Good srvice
Absolutely delicious! I live in Italy and the food was up to standard. Definitely recommend. The view is stunning too.
Very nice atmosphere
Beautiful sea view
Had variety platter for starters and pizza for main, really good. A wide selection of South African wine. Right across the road from the beach watching Kite surfers
Super happy to see they have a vegetarian menu and that they accommodate vegans too!!
Its just when you enter the place you feel welcomed, even if its fully booked theyre willing to accommodate either way and the waiters are so friendly , keep up the good work, you dont get such in some Restaurants
Melkbos has its own unique charm.So does Trattoria Maranello.Magic pizzas.Sit and watch the world go by from the elevated deck overlooking the beach and sea.One of our favorite spots for sure.Thanks
Lovely food, service and atmosphere!
Amazing place! Best fish we ever had! Good service! Are going back for more!
Today 2nd visit, food ( Alfredo ) this time very disappointing, watery and no taste. First visit very good.
Dumile is excellent and friendly! The food is always divine ✌️
We have been going there for 7 years now, since we relocated to Cape Town. We introduced friends and family. We are all impressed.The service is always excellent, the food always delicious. The waitrons courteous and knowledgeable about the various Italian dishes on the menu.
We only had Cuppachinos and Lattes and watched sunset.One latte and cuppachino where cold and had to be warmed up.
Absolutely enjoyed it! Food was exceptional, service was above average, overall a lovely experience. Will definitely return
Delicious food, amazing view, friendly staff
Great view, great food!
