Busy venue, so arrive early or reserve a table!
Such friendly staff - they’ll all assure you the food is the best in Cape Town, and credit where it’s due - the pizzas are phenomenal!
The only critiques:
1. Don’t sit near the service hatch where deliveries are collected - it’s loud and intrusive
2. Skip the desserts. They’re mediocre, unfortunately. Especially the Panna cotta - too hard, no vanilla flavour. Feels processed, not fresh.
Stick to the excellent pizzas and you won’t go wrong!

Cute, cozy & friendly family restaurant at the top of Kloof. Nice spot to chill with family and friends for a laid back evening with good food and wine. I had the Pesto pasta which was really delicious - I had mine with gluten free penne (really love the fact that they have a gluten free option). Would definitely come again.
Bacinis is for sure one of my favourite Italian spots in Cape Town. Great, friendly service. Delicious food. Cozy, cheerful ambience. Bacinis never disappoints!! Recommended meal: their pesto pasta is perfection.
Met a long time friend there. The service was friendly and the food was very good. Pricing was good for the quality of the food. Friendly staff
It gets really busy at night, reservation is needed if you plan to go with a group. Food was delicious but waited nearly an hour for the meal. The manager was friendly to look for a table for two and didn't made us feel left hanging.
Visited Bacini's for a spontaneous Friday night dinner. Really loved the cosy candle light feel and the wide variety on the menu! My only negative was that the food took really long, especially given the fact that we only got there pretty late. Overall, the food was good and the staff were friendly !! Will be back :)
I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else if somebody asked me where to find a great pizza! Been visiting Bacini’s for years and I’ll definitely be visiting for years to come. I’ve celebrated my birthday and so many other friends there too as they really know how to celebrate!
Great pizzas. Go to place for good value for money. I tried their Carlista salad today, description: something of everything you will love it. Accurate description! Asparagus, fresh artichoke, avo, egg, chicken, sun dried tomatoes, the list goes on! Divine!!! Service friendly. Family had pizzas and all were ad per usual lekker standard, crispy thin base with ample topping. Love coming here.
Heard a lot about this place... and it's absolutely lived up to its reputation. I am a pizza fanatic and the pizza was incredible. You can taste they use proper Italian quality ingredients. Service was amazing, very quick and friendly. Perfect date night idea.
One of the best pizzas I've had in a while. The crust was thin and crispy and the pizza itself wasn't overly cheesy, but still had a generous amount of toppings. We got take aways, but the restaurant was packed when we went to collect- a testament to how great it is!
Always busy which lends itself to a nice atmosphere, service is good and attentive.
Ability to add toppings to pizza and selection of ingredients very good.
Pricing in accordance with most places in the area, very affordable as a tourist.
Recommend booking.

What a welcoming environment! The customer service was delightul, despite the steak arriving not to my satisfaction, Prince (our server) ensured that we got the best service and greatest meals. No complaints, all needs were seen too.
I had my birthday party here, what a treat. Bacini's is a firm favorite, the food never disappoints and the vibe is a 10. Although it was a Monday night and I was sceptic about the atmosphere, it was so great and although we left last, we were never asked to leave or chased. Thanks Della and Team!!
Wonderful experience. Quality food. Good service. Pizza made in a wood fire pizza oven. The location at the foot of Lions Head at the top of the city bowl is excellent. We had a lovely summer lunch.
Think this will be my new regular. The pasta was delicious. We had the pesto pasta with chicken and the Cannelloni. They were both so fresh and tasted home made. I had the cosmo cocktail which was delicious. For dessert we had the chocolate fondant and it was made so well and was delicious and rich. The service was spectacular, we didn't book and were moved to a table very quickly. Recommend to any Italian food lovers out there.
Me and my friend had a great dinner with great ambiance and food. For starters we had the Arrenchini balls with a home made pesto but the highlight was the zucchini with a pesto dip that just tastes amazing ( bottle it, sell it). The mains were amazing and the pasta was amazing you can really taste the freshly made just wow. The dessert was good with New York cheesecake and a chocolate fondue cake. So all in all a great evening and we will be back Thank You for the amazing evening.
Enjoyed my time spent here. Was exceptionally pleased with their pastas and drinks. Came for dinner around 6pm and it was very crowded. Think I had to wait outside for 20 minutes to get a table so I’ll recommend people to make reservations first, especially during busy hours.
Had my birthday party at Bacini's, large table of 16 people, and it was such a blast! The night was perfect, with excellent service and pizzas. Even with our big table, our waitress (Lidi) and the manager (Abdul) had everything under control all night. What an awesome place to have a special event. Also, very cool vibe watching the Springboks play on the big screen. 🥳
Cozy with the option to dine indoors or on the patio. The patio seating has glass walls to protect from the elements, while enjoying The Lion's Head view. The bolognaise was scrumptious, and the caramel cheesecake with hints of peppermint crisp simply divine. Generous portions and great service from the staff. My waiter Kelvin was attentive. Will definitely visit again when in Cape Town 😊
Ridiculously good pizza! Great atmosphere. Friendly, attentive staff. Surprisingly broad drinks menu. If you're in a larger group, be sure to get the tranquil spot outside. Excellent spot for an after work meet.
