This places made me feel warm and special. Sitting next to a grandmother who is also the owner of the restaurant, watching her lovingly feed her grandchildren makes you realize the importance of a family run business. The food was nothing short of Italian splendor. I highly recommend the butternut ravioli. Friendly service and authentic high quality meals is what you will get here.
I love the roadside dining.. Feels so European.. Beautiful park across the busy street... Friendly excellent service, good prices, good quality food.. A favorite spot.. Along with Charlies which shares the premises during the day... 😍
Really miss the Old Spiga on Florida Rd, that was my spot..... but it was great being back in Durban at Spiga and seeing Marco and the crew... Food and vibe still great....Keep it up Marco.
Spiga to me is about being out and social. Unfortunately the food is secondary and evident in taste too. I would honestly prefer, and recommend, all their veg options as the chicken is bland, and you can taste it is cooked separately from the meals and just added at the end. Great for a light bite and catching up with friends. Parking is a mission at times, though the side road from the park is a good option if there is no parking on Innes Road.
One of the best Italian restaurants in town - so happy theyre back after a short time while they found a new spot. Ive followed them since they were at the bottom of Field Street in the early 1980s. Service was spot on, we 4 all chose different pastas which were supreme. Every plate/dish was finished - no doggy bags , food was too tasty 😋 😀 will deffo be back soon - Than-Q so much for a delightful Sunday lunch 😋 😀
This is my new favorite spot. It has a cozy ambiance, friendly staff, great cocktails and amazing food. Ive been here twice and I hate how I have such a good time that I forget to take pics... I dont even talk whilst eating, thats how delicious the food is.Id recommend this place for a catch up with friends, date night or even the informal meeting.
Food was excellent, prices a bit on the high side but well worth the experience.
We had such a lovely time for my aunts 80th birthday, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming, super family friendly. Thank you everyone from Spiga
Had takeaway last week and the food was top notch as always. Their pizzas are thin and crispy! best pizzas around the berea area!
Absolutely yummy and light pizzas. Definitely a variety of veg options. Will be visiting them again.
I really enjoyed my meal. The service is great. The ambiance was good 😋
Food is truly amazing. Ive been eating a the retro roll for the past 20+ years and it is still perfect. Personally Ive never been and will never be there if this is not on the menu. This place was in Game City (now City View) and I was a little boy and enjoyed the roll. Best roll ever, definitely worth the trip.Its not on the menu though, so you need to ask your waiter for it. You wont go wrong!
Very good service. The ravioli was good (7/10) the pizza was an absolute win 10/10).The location is also nice
Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Loved the murals and the staff were pleasant. Really enjoyed the started platter. The pizza was decent and the salad was a lot better then most (the eggplant is amazing). The drinks menu (wine and spirits) could use a little work. Overall I really enjoyed the visit.
The best Italian food in South Africa. They never disappoint. Friendly staff, and an amazing vibe
I’m saddened at having to write this review.Literally one of my favorite restaurants has sadly let me down.Having traveled extensively in Europe I’ve had some DELICIOUS bruschettas. So going to an Italian restaurant you’d expect top quality.The bread was so stale, a tasteless thin slice of Parma ham and a sad excuse slither of mozzarella cheese, R100 for 4 pieces 😕 .I’ll literally NEVER order that again!Kind of sad & embarrassing
Friendly manager and staffAmazing dessertGood and safe surroundings
Excellent as always. Always recommend spiga to ANYONE AND EVERYONE.
Usually 5 star. @ My last visit I was utterly disappointed.. Usual order is a Linguine de Casa with cream. Same divine taste. But the usual 5 prawns were smaller than usual with 2 of 5 shrimp sized. Accepted the Portion downsize when they relocated.. used to be big enough to share between 2 small eaters. We used to order a full portion with 3 extra prawns.
Very good Italian food. Good wine, very expensive.
This resturant provides for an authentic Italian cuisine. Great customer service. Always the best pizza pasta experience!
Simply the best variety of pasta dishes to choose from.Superbly tasty. Also a selection of decadantly layered pizzas.in splashes of colour. Spiga is well situated opposite Botanic gardens and boasts an atmosphere of chilled sophistication and fine dining. Excellent service and fair prices. Best authentic meal in awhile. Verandah dining offers plenty of space for that early evening nibble with a great glass of wine. You have to try it
A pleasant evening all round. Still great to see the owners on the floor meeting and greeting. A lot ot be said for their active participation and hands on attitude. Congrats. Always viby, loud with attentive staff. Food always as tasty as should be. Well done guys give yourselfs a Bells 🥃
Great pizza, slightly above average pasta. Good cocktails and a really nice vibe.Our waiter was super friendly, made really nice suggestions on what to try out.I must admit that for such a small establishment, I felt that we waited a tad bit too long for our foodWould I come back? YesWould I recommend it? YesRating 7/10.
Took my husband for supper on his birthday which was absolutely amazing. Food is at reasonable prices and Is authentic Italian food. Service was amazing and so are the staff
Excellent food, great coffee, good service and nice atmosphere.
Still cant beat the devine seafood pasta dish served in foil. Gosh so good especially as a takeaway. The usual great personal service 👏👍
We had to wait some time for the lunch.... bit food was good and service average
Love the outside vibe of the place. Very tasty food and taking our own wine was not an issue. Definitely on our list of regular places to visit
Expectations fulfilled. Lasagne was Devine. Penne alla Luca pasta was amazing, just the way I like it.Friendly and warm atmosphere.Will be back.
The best Ive had in Italian cuisine!!! Absolute best. The hosts are warm and welcoming. The setting is perfect for an intimate outing. Dont miss out of this amazing space.
Amazing food, the service was great - couldnt fault it
Food is good, menu is limited to pasta and pizza
The pasta is always delicious. I must now just try their famous pizzas
As per usualExcellent foodService brilliant
A little piece of Italy in the heart of Durban. Absolutely love Spiga. One of the most consistent restaurants you will ever visit. You always know what you are getting, which is REAL Heart-warming Italian Food and Hospitality.
Great vibe.. Is thats what u looking for. Miss the old Spiga... But guess we all have moved on.. So give it a try anyway! Service and pizzas always good..
The service is outstanding! And the food is heavenly..!
Meal was excellent and well priced.Will definitely be back..Lost a star for lack waiting space for takeaways..
Food always excellent, service quick, central so easy to find, always enjoy the whole experience.
Still the best place to have pizza in Durban!! They have really nice gluten free pizza bases! Great service. Great vibe.
Most amazing and friendly people. Food is out of this world.
Food is great however no sanitizers on tables, no covid protocols worse is no social distancing. Charging r10 for hot water-like really? Felt very uncomfortable when we saw a movie crew shooting a movie scene. We were not informed of this and felt as though we should have at least been informed cause privacy matters.
Great food good atmosphere
Was a great experience. Went there for my birthday with my family and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I asked if they could change the type of pasta that was on the menu and they has no issues doing so. By far the most impressive part was the speed that the food was brought out. Within one hour: we ordered starters, eaten starters, ordered mains and had our mains delivered. Outstanding! The amount of food they give, compared to other restaurants, is so much, very pleased. Our waitress was nice and easily remembered all our orders.10/10 would recommend.
Just had the best pasta of my life....sorry mom.
Coffee was really good, but they dont serve breakfast.
Pasta is my favorite. I will not eat pasta anywhere else...Linguini Ala SheikAgnaloti
Ive never had a bad meal at Spiga, always amazing!
A cozy restaurant, warm ambience, friendly staff. Delicious pizza and pasta. Wheelchair access. Quick and efficient service.
Food is great but restaurant is busy. Quality is of a high standard and so is the price. A lot more could be done to contain the number of customers and ensure social distancing is practiced. Situated opposite Mitchell Park gives this restaurant a lovely setting and atmosphere that is different from many restaurants in Florida Road. Worth a visit. Be ready to wait in a queue unless you make a reservation!
Every selection on the menu is out the top drawer , only one complaint is the chairs if you are a person with a fuller figure , they are too small and uncomfortable
Great service! Delicious pizza.
Food is always on point and staff is very accommodating to your needs. Awesome!
Relaxed environment, friendly staff a good place for pizza or pasta.Its a place you would want to bring a friend a catch up with, over a nice bottle of wine
Tasty food with a variety of italian options, nice cozy atmosphere as well. The chicken lasagna was a winner
My family love this place! Good menu and friendly atmosphere.
Unfortunate start with a cold focaccia, returned NC! On to the mains, pasta; penne, pancetta with cream and peas, really tasty with the complimentary chilli and garlic oil! The other main was a linguine, bacon and mushroom with gorgonzola cheese nicely balanced. Service on point, pity about the starter. Will return and support a new old favourite.
Wooowza. Spiga is still sooo amazing. Try the bruschetta or the meatballs as a starter
Had a wonderful meal at Spiga!We had the Calamari Limone as a starter and it has got to be the best starter I have had in years!!! The Limone sauce is so good youll be tempted to ask for some bread to wipe the bowl clean ;) The calamari and tentacles are in a creamy limone sauce served in a bowl with three bruschetta. R75For Mains we had Penne Mafia (R75) and Pizza Mafiosa (R95). Both were absolutely delicious and recommended.Lovely vibe, lovely setting and friendly waitresses made for a lovely evening.
Calamari and tentacle “salad”. My mom asked them to replace the tentacles for more calamari which they did. She then received the bill which was R85 for this “salad” (with nothing else but lettuce in it) and another R45 for extra calamari. Regardless of the reputation of a restaurant, this was daylight robbery.
Great experience, nice food and great service
Wonderful experience there by Spiga🤞
Accommodating senior staff. Good Italian cuisine. Recommended for a taste of authentic Italy.Covid protocols in place.Bon apetit
My ravioli was cold on the inside and not flavourful at all
Service is great but the food didnt suit my taste buds
The chocolate volcanoes are good, theyre dreamy and melty and have a smooth goodness that just warms the cockles of your heart.The pastas were of an appropriate starchture, but lacked some basic feel-good flavours.The staff were really friendly, helpful and worked with excellent efficacy.HOWEVER, the owner made us feel really uncomfortable... Like a scene from Disturbia, too close, too scary and a bit up in there.On several occasions, he was like half a metre next to our table, we couldnt even continue our conversations. The constant cigarette smell added to the unnatural youre-at-my-restaurant-but-lemme-behave-the-way-I-want-to behaviour.In fact, we tried to speak to him about it, at that instance he grabbed my cousins hand to apologise with full grip. UP FRONT CONTACT, NO PROBLEM apparently... No boundaries. None. Even when my cousin stated that hes feeling uncomfortable when the owner was that close, the owner got really defensive and started stating why bringing it up was worse. How is that even a discussion. MOVE BACK AND RESPECT THE SPACE. Please dont try to validate your really bad manners.Keep in mind, not once, inside nor outside his restaurant, did he have his mask on. On top of that, hugging and shaking hands was a norm for him to almost anyone and everyone that came close to him.Overall, quite disappointing from the great 20tweens of Spiga on Florida Road, to what it is now. Covid really damaged the lung power of this restaurants ability to blow you away.
Delicious food , great atmosphere and good service.
For 15th years such a wonderfully restaurant 😍
Always enjoyed the vibe at Spiga.
My favorite restaurant! Amazing atmosphere and the tastiest pizza’s!!
Its a cosy place with a new spot. I prefer the old location. But this is also a nice place to chill out. Right next to Mitchells park.
Great evening, good service and fantastic flavours
The service is great, as always. The pasta is the best
Spiga never disappoints. Something for everyone... Great Food, Great Service, Great Times! 😁👍🏽
Great food Great ambience Great service. 👍🏼love it
They always have the best pastas and bruschetta, waiters are always friendly, just the time it takes for the food to come out from the kitchen is quite some time but its always worth it...good stuff
Always the best service and delicious food
Nice setting , good food and friendly staff.
Love their pasta👌
Probably my new favorite dinner spot in Durban. Everything about my experience is 5 star. Will most definitely be back! 💛
