Review La Scarpetta - Mossel Bay

Romantic spot with delicious Italian food, clued up waiter and not bad prices. Nice ambience! Perfect for a date!

I mostly go to this restaurant for their pizza and the authenticity claims. Their milkshakes is nice and thick and they even give a complimentary mini piece of bread that you can keep yourself busy with as you wait for your pizza. I must say, I enjoyed their pizza. Having spent only five days of my life actually eating Italian food in Rome and Venice, I cannot say how authentic I think the food is, though I think they cater for a bit more of a variety to get more customers, but what I had was pretty delicious. The only thing that was missing at my pizza was a little cup of fresh garlic. Everything else was great, as far as the pizza goes. And it isn't the horrible thick crust sold by fast food pizzerias, it was the thin crust that I would expect to get in Italy. SO in that respect, La Scarpetta did not disappoint. I also noticed a lovely selection of dishes, many of which have an Italian twist to them. I would go there again.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a friendly face, shown a seat and given a menu. The atmosphere is very pretty with lots to keep your eyes occupied with while your food is being created. The wine list is very nice with great selections for all price ranges. I indulged on a chocolate milkshake that was presented in a nice cup with a fun twist on the straws. The milkshake itself was perfectly rich, soft and creamy. I also ordered a custom pizza that came out loaded with my selected toppings, almost too many on some bites. The waiter, Rick was very attentive and payed close attention to detail, making sure that my every need was addressed. Once my meal was completed and my bill was paid, Rick wished me well and I went on my way wondering if I’d every find an Italian restaurant as good as this one in South Africa. Truly a magnificent restaurant!

What a gem! Beautiful decor. Lovely Italian music. Cozy, warm and personal. Best pizzas we've had in a long time. Excellent, friendly and professional service. I'll return to this place from the corners of the earth!

My favourite little Italian spot. Don't come here unless you expect good intimate service with fantastic food and great ambiance. Note that some meals do take a little time but the food is well worth the wait. Don't be affriad to try one of the specials.

Rainy Rainy costal day... Which is how I ended up having a hot well made meal at LA Scarpetta. (Italian lamb shank in case you are wondering) Welcoming atmosphere and staff. Comfy seats(important things) proper serviettes and great food selection. Word of advice don't order off the menu, too boring... Find the boards on the walls or ask the waitron for the chef specials. Perfect if you want to do a romantic wine and dine.

a lovely environment. The staff are very friendly (a little too service orientated in a way). The food is very well prepared and I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want a descent meal.

Opened in May 2017, small Italian restaurant, menu with range of pastas, pizzas, burgers and steaks. Good wine list and range of drinks, friendly service, reasonable prices. I recommend the pizza as well as steak.

The service is absolutely fantastic. I have to add that the front of house is on point! The food is intricately superb. Prepared with a culinary reverance. Really tickled my fancy. I would highly recommend it... A great Italiano Experience. Grazie mille

Best food for great value in town! Prompt service from a witty server, Cooper made it an evening to remember. An ambient atmosphere clinches the deal.

Lube the great and friendly service. Certainly try the oxtail. We will be back!

Had a very nice Oxtail Ravioli! The waiters are friendly and everything was just good. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Italian restaurant. Warm and cozy with good service and good food! Will definitely be back.

Something everyone can enjoy.
