Lovely Italian restaurant with really good food and a good vibe. Giving 4 stars only because they dont have a lot of options for vegetarians. Other than that, its great!
This hidden gem in Dunvegan exceeded my expectations! The food took me straight back to Italy: authentic, homely and absolutely delicious.We’ve only gotten take-outs so far (and a few frozen meals to make at home), but will definitely try a sit-down meal once the numbers are down. Just a pity there is no outdoor seating.🍽 Recommendations:• Ravioli 4P - Scrumptious little pasta pockets with a tasty filling of pollo, parmesan, porcini and pistachio. The creamy pistachio sauce to go with it was divine!• Gnocchi 4 Cheese - The fluffiest gnocchi surrounded by a decadent cheesy sauce• Arancini - Crispy and full of delicious cheesy filling. Definitely order one per person!• Parmigiana (frozen) - Just the right amount of cheese and Napoletana sauce, so good!• Chicken Lasagne (frozen) - A nice portion and quite tasty. Would love to try the meat one next time.📌 They get quite busy on the weekends, so order early or expect a long wait!
Unfortunately tonight was bitterly disappointing. My family come here most weekends, and tonight we came to celebrate the evening before my brother gets married, but tonight we were served raw Kingklip and dry, undercooked risotto. The restaurant was hugely busy and our food had taken ages to arrive so we didnt send it back. But we did tell our lovely waitress Thembi. She said someone would come speak to us but no one did? No one apologized. We paid the bill, finished our drinks and left. The ball was definitely dropped. We are loyal patrons and love frequenting this gem, but a bowl of undercooked food for R170 or raw fish, and no apology, just leaves a bad impression.
Food was really good, portions generous and fresh. The restaurant is casual and family oriented.
Always a 5 star experience with always that personal touch from the owners. Food was fantastic and warming for a winters day. A great afternoon chilling with friends
Loved it! Great food.. Friendly staff. Would recommend 👍
Still one of the best and most authentic Italian restaurant in JoBurg. Proper Italian. Try it, Ive never regretted it.
Great food ànd great place. Love it there
Vibe is cozy. Food is tasty and aromatic. And belly was satisfied😉
Great food and service. I definitely recommend.
Lovely atmosphere. Great food. We had a pizza and a pasta, and both were delicious. Service was friendly, and eventhough we were told we would wait a while for the pizza, we really did not wait that long. A true hidden gem in Edenvale.
Amazing food and a great atmosphere for family and friends or a romantic night out.
Authentic Italian ambience and food. Fresh pasta. This experience is hard to come by. Staff always welcoming and friendly
Always our go to place ... love the waiters, love the food, love the environment... always a win for anniversary date
Authentic Italian cooking good menu with many options.
Stunning food, great specials, yummy.
Absolutely shocking experience. The owner was extremely rude and unaccomodating. Complaining to her staff because we didnt want to be seated near the entrance. Will never go back there.
Tasty authentic Italian. A little gem
We had the lamb shanks with veg. Meat was falling off the bone. Very nice. It was however quite cold so not as tasty as it could have been. Baked cheesecake was a huge dissapointment... it was very very heavy and lacked flavour. We did go without a booking and a table was found for us so kudos to the manager/owner. The waiter was very busy and had quite a few tables to take care of resulting in us being a little neglected. Otherwise... a nice cosy restuarant.
Authentic Italian food Owned and Managed by the family.Pizza, pasta, chicken, beef, pork... the menu is extensive and freshly made.You wount be disappointed!
Welcoming and warm atmosphere, wonderful food and Thembi was an excellent waitress. I highly recommend 👌
We have been here many times before and always look forward to the experience. However my starter melanzane was disappointing. Just a tasteless blob of something in a small dish. If I think I can make better melanzane in my own kitchen than a premium Italian restaurant can then there is a problem. I thought it was overpriced at R80 for what one got and then to pay R180 for a relatively mediocre red wine was also not something that made it a good lunch experience. Maybe their previous popularity is still encouraging patrons but I think Da Graziella is losing the plot somewhere. It is no longer a good value Italian family restaurant.
Real little cozy restaurant, food was delicious, just think they are too expensive.
Great food, great atmosphere and best service.
Fantastic food and atmosphere every single time.Authentic Italian dishes.
Food is freshly made and so worth it

You have to try Da Graziella if you want authentic Italian food
Best mussels in jhb
We have been going to Da Graziellas for years now and the food is generally very good. For mains I recommend the Seafood pasta and pizzas. The special calzone is not great though and had very little flavour. Great variety of deserts!
Delicious food, great service
The best Italian restaurant food out there the waiters are amazing, the atmosphere is very friendly and cheerful. There is a lack of parking and space within the restaurant. But over all this is a really great restaurant and I sujest you try it out for yourself.
Cosy local Italian, firm favourite
This is not one of my favourite restaurants. Neither do I enjoy the slow, sullen service.
I will grudgingly admit it, but their vegetarian lasagna tastes even better than mine (but mine is healthier). Best tasting lasagna ever! Everything we have had there has been superlative and their wine recommendations are spot on!
Food is fantastic and the atmosphere is vibrant. Restaurant is very colourful and homely. Food is very good for the pricing with a great variety for every course with something for every persons taste.
Great food. Proper authentic Italian restaurant. Without alcohol bill was R200. Well managed. Owner active and bossy, BUT part of its success.. you will enjoy
Great venue with top cuisine
Went here several times for a couple evening and really enjoyed the experience. Then sole hair in the soup, was when I saw one of the owners scolding a kitchen worker. I know that in any work place this happens, but its best to keep it out of sight from the customers? I still gave a 5⭐ review because the place is great.
Yes ..good vibe ..the food is delicious..served on time
Packed even over the holiday.Great to see granny still working on the floor.Italian family restaurant.
Great food, good winelist. Atmosphere convivial.
The food was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. The waitor was charming. We enjoyed our evening.
Always excellent for me.
This is my favourite Italian restaurant. I love the 3 cheese gnocci but whatever you order is a treat. All around you are tables filled with Italian speaking patrons. Definately a good sign when the Italians come here for a pizza.
Leaving a dull meal at home to eat at Da Graziella is a must.....if you love Italian food.No skimping here...and the quality of the food is above average. Owners are friendly, and the staff attentive.When busy, seating arrangements are crammed to fit in more guests.....not a good idea!Well worth a visit.
Great food
Great restaurant. Staff is attentive and friendly. Food choice is good and tastes delicious. Reasonably priced. Sometimes the wait is a bit long, I presume due to the popularity. Advised to make a booking in advance, even on random nights. Good for groups and couples, young and old.
The true Italian food 😋
Authentic Italian. Very popular very busy so food takes a while. Great ambience.
The food is superb.
Excellent food - authentic Italian at its best! Pleasant ambiance. Its always a pleasure to get together here.
Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere. Felt like I was at home with family.Oscar our waiter was fantastic. All the staff are professional, friendly and welcomed us like we were old friends not patrons,we loved this restaurant were already planning to go back.
They make oven baked pizza. Pleasant environment and excellent service.
Cody . Family style ITALIAN food. Brother and sister own this restaurant. Good mezes. Great cannelloni and fair prices. Very enjoyable experience
