Great Italian food - the pasta is incredible. Which I find rare in this day and age. Prices are towards the high side of things, but they always have alot of specials on. Really nice atmosphere in the courtyard, and it's especially nice for cocktails. Can also highly recommend the chocolate fondant!!
Lovely ambiance, great food and prompt service. Their pastas are all delicious and the food came out surprisingly quickly. Followed with a marvelous pavlova for dessert, is definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the city
After a disappointing experience at Hemelhuijs we walked across & walked into Villa 47 with no booking. The service was excellent, the waiter was attentive and pleasant. We definitely will be back! Thank you!
The steak with truffle fries is really good. The meat is well cooked and flavored and I could’ve eaten 4 or 5 portions of the fries easily. They’re that good. The service is a bit slow but the food makes up for it.
I've been wanting to try Villa 47 for really long, as per a friend's recommendation. I had been before, but only for tapas, this time I went to the full menu part of the restaurant. I really enjoyed my dinner, apparently the Seared Tuna dish is quite popular there so that's what I opted for, I was not disappointed at all. It was a little more on the raw side than I had expected, but still very good nonetheless.
We had a very friendly waitress, however, our service did drop quite substantially once the restaurant got full so that was the only downfall. I do think that there is small room for improvement with regards to the plating and presentation of the food.
Overall, a nice experience and I'll definitely be back!
What a great evening. The delightful waiter really made our night! Home made pasta really cooked to perfection. Pricey but worth it I’d say.
Went to Pieroni Penatti. Lovely experience. Attentive service...polite, friendly and polished staff who knew the menu and drinks.
Food was excellent, in good time and prepped with much attention to detail with immaculate presentation.
Perfect for a special or quieter exclusive dining experience.
Villa 47 is a gem in the centre of town. It is quite pricey but food is good and so is the service. Personal favourite is the seared tuna - usually on the board.
One of my favourite restaurants. The Villa 47 Tortellini is absolutely delicious and worth trying (if it’s not your go-to already). Highly recommended for lunch or dinner.
Great ambience. Before our meals arrived, we nibbled on a variety of delicious breads from the baskets on the table, delicious. Had pasta for main meal, not particularly exciting or flavorful. We shared a cheese platter, and the cheeses were exceptional. Service friendly and efficient. Would recommend this restaurant for a shared cheese platter

We had a beautiful evening upstairs tonight. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Our waiter was smiling and so attentive throughout the whole dinner.
If you are looking for a place to go on a romantic date - upstairs is great
If you are looking for a more of a vibe 🎶 then downstairs is a good idea 🥰
Thank you for a wonderful evening and excellent service - you really provide an experience for customers and it doesn’t go unnoticed 🫶
We had a small family gathering & we choose this restaurant, an absolutely unknown venue.
Well what a pleasant surprise, as you walk into this venue you are greeted by such friendly staff.
The ambiance of this restaurant is something to experience it's Italy in Cape Town.
The interior is on point & it just works so well. It give you that fuzzy welcome feeling, well done guys.
We placed our orders & were blown away by the presentation & taste. I had the pork belly & loved ever morsal.
Loved the menu will be back to try other dishes.
If you are in Cape Town looking for authentic Italian cooking, this is your place.
To the management and staff thank you for a great experience & for providing an exquisite Locanda.
Kind regards

Excellent food. Pricey, but so very tasty. Service was excellent.
They were very helpful with placing a ramp for my friend’s mother’s wheelchair.
Acoustics not great. Very loud. So not good for romantic whispers.
The service was good. Food was good and delicious. Although it was busy, the wait to receive food was short. They have a wide selection of fine wine to choose from. Would definitely recommend.

I went there in the week for supper.
First of all it is a fine dining place so be prepared to spend approximately R400 up.
The atmosphere and decor was great.
The menu on my part was limited since I don’t eat beef or pork. They had 6 pastas in total with only a beef, seafood and veggies options.
They had your mains which mostly wasn’t Italian so I opted for the pasta. On the night they did have a special on the board of starters and pastas that weren’t on the menu and for a slightly cheaper price.
Glasses of wines ranged from R75 and up and cocktails were R80 and up.
The service was great as our waiter always checked up on us and the food came out quickly. Our waiter was friendly but seemed to be quite young so when we asked for wine recommendations he was unsure but asked his manager.
The portions sizes were decent and another waiter came by with a block of Parmesan to grate on-top of your food which was awesome.
The dessert was yummy.
I’m all for my veggies main, wine and dessert my bill came to R440 with tip.
It wasn’t a mind blowing experience as compared to the delicious food seen on insta. But it was a good experience regardless
Definitely recommend one of the best restaurants I’ve visited now while in Cape Town, the server i guess his name was kanisu super helpful and polite, he knew we dont eat anything thats not halal and help us out with ordering.
Such an amazing experience must vist.
The food was decent, service good, nice location and atmosphere as well. I found the prawns a tad bland, aside from that it was good
Great for breakfast. Friendly staff. They make awesome hot drinks as well.
The food was unbelievable, the best pasta I have ever had. This is a very upmarket and stylish restaurant with amazing service and really great Italian food. It is situated on the very popular Bree Street in Cape Town cbd. It is a very popular place and this is not surprising ! Highly recommended
We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Villa 47 and highly recommend it to anyone around. It provides excellent Italian taste abroad! My photos do not convey the full richness of the food.
The server Trésor was extremely polite and made us feel at home!
