5 star food in an unapologetically authentic restaurant.You will experience a flavour explosion.Every dish will have you chewing at 1/4 speed because the flavours are too wonderful to let the moment go by too quickly.The steak is mouthwateringly better than any grill house.And the owner is a bundle of passion and joy that is hard to forget.Thank you to the chef and staff for making this a beautiful experience.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the world. My husband and I used to go here frequently before we moved from SA almost 3 years ago. We STILL talk about the Melenzane as one of our all time favorite meals! We will definitely be back when we come back to visit!

This is an awesome and authentic Italian dining experience. What a wonderful and full of life hostess to welcome and make you feel at home here. The food is simply divine. From the preparation to the presentation and the wonderful smells of the various meals leaving the kitchen, you will be impressed from starter to dessert.

Really awesome food and great service.Complimentary bread sticks on arrival. The owner is amazing. She sat at our table and explained in detail all the pasta dishes and how it’s prepared- she makes all the dishes sound Devine. Food is very taste and well presented.The panna cotta is the best I have ever had and a good portion is served.

An absolute gem in Midrand! Food was extremely delicious with an abundant amount of flavours all in a perfect balance. The lasagne and Penne pastas are incredible!The owner is phenomenal. She takes her time, sits down and goes through the menu with you and is incredibly hospitable, even said goodbye to us over the balcony. Would 100% recommend Ristorante La Trinita to anyone looking to experience one of the best dining experiences ever.

Lala and Tessa is amazing. Rated as one of the 101 BEST PLACES TO EAT IN THE WORLD... I rest my case. Service is outstanding, I have enjoyed a opera night as well last year that is when some opera singers fill the evening with their strong voices in the restaurant accompanied by a pianist. I had the mezzanine on a friends recommendation and it was full of flavor and very delicious. Lala the chef come and check herself that you are enjoying her food. What a touch of elegance. Being in business March is the restaurants anniversary so follow them on their Facebook page for what will be trending

We had dinner here Saturday night (4 August 2018), the service was absolutely sensational. Every single person who interacted with us, was pleasant and helpful. One of the owners (Lala) even came to us, remembered when we were turned away because they had a jam-packed night a week or two earlier. She ran through the specials, and I chose the Salmon pasta. The food was excellent, well priced. Very nice intimate feeling. Well definitely be coming back again soon.

Absolutely incredible restaurant. I feel like I am eating at home. The hostess and her mother welcome you as if you are part of family just coming over for a quick bite to eat. The food is absolutely sensational and big portion sizes. The place is filled with passion for food and family. Always spotless and excellent staff. You leave feeling satisfied and thinking of when you can come back.

Review №62

La-La is the best restaurant owner I have ever met. And whats even better than her at her restaurant, is her food. We have been eating here for a few years now and have never been disappointed. Every time it feels like shes invited us to eat at her own home. The time she makes to spend with each of her customers (even on busier nights) is what makes a simple weeknight dinner here a truly special experience

Great place great food. If you visit more than once - no matter now infrequently- you visit, you will be welcomed with a warm & loving hug. The restaurant is run by a first generation Italian family who appreciate the authentic Italian cuisine. If nothing on the menu appeals to you - you will have your very own menu item created for you. It’s a really authentic Italian family experience !!!

What an unexpected exceptional experience! Fantastic food. Excellent waiters and hosts. We were really looking for another restaurant and stumbled across this gem. You can taste how fresh the ingredients are, although it may look plain, the taste and flavour was excellent. Fast service, absolutely everything you would like from a restaurant. Really worth a visit. We will certainly be back for more!

Ever been to restaurant where the owner is the head chef and takes time to sit at EVERY table and discuss the menu and specials? Neither have we... until we met La La! She has just as much flavour and as her food! Its like the ladies say, Italy made in SA.

Good authentic food, utterly amazing service (the best that I have experienced for a big table to date), and I loved the attention that we received from the host. It was a truely amazing birthday lunch.At the end of lunch, I saw that the host was equally attentive to other couples who were visiting for lunch. As she says, Welcome to my home, and thats how you feel by the time you leave.

Review №94

Never, ever had a bad meal here. Homestyle Italian cooking at its purest. La-la is the most energetic and homely host you can ever ask for and that gives this place the personal touch. Her daily specials are proper wholesome with natural ingredients making the big difference. Even with the gnocchi you can tell was handcrafted. This is one of three authentic Italian establishments you will find in Joburg. And this one is tied first.

Review №95

Truly excellent Italian without the usual overdose of heavy fat and salt. The pastas are totally excellent. The caprese is the real thing with real búfalo and freshest herbs. Perfect service. Really good coffee. Limited but excellent wine collection. Not the cheapest and the environment /location is rustic South African industrial, but that too has its great charm!
