Forneria Italia

A good family place, with authentic Italian food. Pizzas are lovely & well priced. They also have bite size deserts for the person who wants to taste more then one thing!

It is not everyday that a pizza beats me. Today it did. My friends had been before but it was my first time at this cosy authentically presented Italian eatery. The waitress was friendly and quick to take our drinks order which arrived promptly. The food order was taken without hassle and also arrived within the appropriate time. The al forno looked piping hot and was a huge portion of penne and cheese and goodness. The salada caprese with Parma ham was done with real mozzarella fiori de latti and super thin Parma ham. Delicious number two. My Adrian pizza with salami and Brie cheese was perfectly done. Crispy and tasty and far too much for me. I took three slices home and my friend ate the other one. It was that good. The seating was it great and the tables a bit too small to comfortably accommodate four people and their food. That is why they lose the one star. Also it is not wheelchair accessible although the four steps in front are not that steel for someone using a cane to walk. No view to speak of but there are nice touristy posters on the wall or you could actually speak with your companions!! Oh yes and the cream puffs! Oh my hat. Let’s just say we started off with four and ended up with about 12 and three espressos... we will be back!!!

We love coming to this down to earth Italian eatery. The food is ALWAYS fabulous, with good pricing.

This is probably the best Italian restaurant that I've ever eaten in... Ever! Which makes me sad as the previous best was a top 100 restaurant that made me feel like family. Definitely going to become a weekly resident of this restaurant. Carry cash as they don't accept cards.

Brilliant experience. Very cosy and true thin based Italian pizza - just the way I like it. The owner also makes sure that everybody is comfortable. A nice selection of wine and a great variety of dishes. Definitely worth going.

Hands down best pizza in Cape Town. Authentic Italian base and some of the pizzas come with cream which is amazing

Raw soggy tasteless pizza! Second time now received this goop of supposed to be pizza. Dont waste your money.

Amazing food with great staff! The vibe is very old school but it is just great. The waiters are always on point and very very friendly. We seem to always hear the guys from the kitchen but never get to meet them, maybe next time. There are seating inside and outside and a million options on the menu but all very good. The parking is limited but once you find a spot it is safe and well looked after by the car guard who is always a pleasure. We look forward to going again.

Thank you for hosting a much needed Mom's Night Out! I loved the casual warmth of the restaurant coupled with efficient service and delicious authentic Italian meals.
