Hadn't been here in about 4 years, so decided to make a booking and revisit an old favorite. From the time I made that call and spoke to Grant, the Manager, I figured tonight was going to be different. Walking in, the waitron Candice greeted with a wide smile and you could just smell the knowledge on her, figuratively speaking. She was a brilliant, friendly and an extremely knowledgable waitron. The venue immediately felt homely. And although it looks tiny from the outside, it can accomodate approx 130 people in this very spacious home/set up. If you go all the way through to the back there is a smokers section with a water feature with live fish and a fire place bustling in the background. Bardellis can be used as a quick meal restaurant, an Italian experience restaurant, a romantic date place or even a place to take family or even work colleagues. The menu is easy to understand and if you have a waitron like Candice, there wouldn't be too much understanding required. Her pasta suggestion to me is what I ordered, the Mario. The Alfredo is also a good 'Italian tester'. Fyi, their ham, bacon and chicken are double smoked and the garlic and chillies are freshly cut daily! Dessert was creme brulee and a chocolate brownie with ice cream. Moments of silence were followed by each spoonful. Personally, I would have liked more ice-cream with the brownie, but it was delicious and soft and covered with deliciousness nevertheless. After having eaten around the world, Italy couldn't beat this Italian restaurant!

A romantic but casual setting with great management and even better food. we were seated near the fireplace which was super romantic as my hubby and I could gaze deeply into each other's eyes, it was our anniversary and they took such good care of us. I must say that the pizza was truly fantastic, loaded and fresh. Hands down one of the best evenings and we will be back.
My husband and I love Bardellis. The food is really outstanding and the service is great. I wasn’t the type of person that would order pasta at a restaurant as Ive always felt its something we can easily make at home, but now when I feel like yummy pasta - we know were to go.
The BEST Italian restaurant in Cape Town. Jenni the waitress is incredible and the vibe is so romantic and homey. Such an amazing experience. The food was phenomenal. My friend had a Olympia range pizza which is a mix of four pizzas and I had the well advised Roma pizza. A winner?
Went for dinner in Friday 1st February 2019 and ordered a Papa G large pizza, absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent, would really recommend it for a date night. Also the courtyard is amazing too.
This is a local spot close to home and I can honestly say that they have one of the best Pizza's in Cape Town. The owners great, there's a nice ambience inside the restaurant with an outside area and the service has been really good every time we go.
Fanatic service from William. Quick service and chilled romantic setting for those sitting at the restaurant.
Pizza was truly delicious. I’ll be back and great to hear of the specials on Monday and Tuesdays.
This restaurant has a homely feel to it and offers guests an intimate dining experience. I love the courtyard section. They also offer guests blankets and light up a fire place on cold evenings. The menu offers light meals and as well as mains which includes grills, pastas and pizzas. I must add their pizzas are absolutely delicious as well as their steaks! Will definitely my added to one of my favourites list.
To be honest, i’ve only ever had the Creme Brûlée, but I must say it was AMAZING. Probably one of the best in Cape town (so they claim) plus I get a real homely feel when i’m there, which is great
I was splendidly surprised by Bardellis. The service was good and the atmosphere assisted in making it a lovely evening with friends. The pizza!
D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.
Will come back
Beautiful thin crusted pizzas, interesting lasagnes, and fantastic creme Brule.
Bardelli's offers some great specials and an intimate setting. Lovely for a mid-week dinner date.
Definitely book for Friday nights or you might be faced with a rude hostess unwilling to make a plan for a walk-in customer (which was my latest experience). Other than that, the food is good.
Went there for a friends birthday. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Service was quite good. The portions of pasta and pizza serve a decent amount. Food was served nice and hot and tasted great!
Bardelli's offers an exquisite range of Italian-inspired foods, such as pizzas and pastas. The experience was enhanced by great service from attentive waitrons as well as a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our dinner was illuminated by candles as there was loadshedding but despite this, the wait for our food was reasonable and the fire-baked dishes were delivered warm and were delicious. Highly recommend this place for a casual lunch or dinner out with friends and family.
Amazing restaurant, amazing food and amazing service.
Such a homey vibe, I felt like I was getting a big warm hug when I stepped in. And then an even bigger hug when the food arrived.
Our server, Hash, was amazing!
I'll definitely be going back, which is huge considering I live in the Northern Suburbs.
An authentic and quaint Italian restaurant offering the most delicious pizzas and pastas - especially the ravioli. They offer an array of options which cater for various dietary needs.
The atmosphere is incredibly warm and cozy while the service of the staff are friendly and efficient.
The pizza was delicious and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. Our food also came very quickly (and disappeared just as quickly!) The pizza also has the option of a medium or large size which I appreciate.
There was a bit of a traffic jam in the restaurant when we arrived as many people were waiting to be seated which was a bit puzzling as there appeared to be many seats available.
Apart from this, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!
Top! Top! Topclass Pizzeria in the heart of Kenilworth. This place offer and authentic Italian experience, they don't skimp on the ingredients. The flavour is amazing and their selections of pizza and pasta make it a go to. They were awarded the prize of being onenof the top 10 pizzerias in South Africa for 2021 so don't just take my word for it. They have the plaque to prove it. I would recommend getting their foccacia as a starter its the perfect way to introduce yourself to the menu and make a decision from there. Make a booking they fill up quite quickly as well! The Malva Pudding was very underwhelming and highly over priced for something that wasn't baked fresh. But I don't think anybody goes there for the desserts.
A lovely night out at Bardelli's. We were seated in cute covered courtyard - loved the garden style with plenty of pot plants. Delicious pizza and pastas. The calamari was served with sun-dried tomatoes, olives on a bed of rice - delicious. Generous portions. Oh and their Creme Brulee is a, perfect way to end your dinner. Friendly and efficient service.
Fabulous little spot with amazing food. Great flavour and the pizza base was perfection. I actually considered having another pizza, but have no idea where I would have put it!!! Excellent service, staff very knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely be eating there again. Highly reccomended!
Was at the express and got 2 small pizzas.
Delicious pizza guys, well done.
Also, clean environment and friendly servers.
Such an amazing place. The service was perfect and accommodating. The food was great...everything is well worth a 5 star rating.
Enjoyed the historic building setting like I was having dinner in a chilled home environment. The staff also make you feel at home, which adds to the amazing experience.
I had the chicken lasagna and a salad, it was delicious and a very decent portion. Finished it off with some dessert, which was the icing on the cake (excuse the pun)of a good experience.
Definitely one of my top go-to place from now on.
One of the best Pizza joints in Cape Town. Super thin bases and great quality toppings. Been going for years and never disapoints. Well done!
