Love the atmosphere, always feeling welcome, the food is the best in blouberg. love going there with friends and family
As long as you dont expect promp service you in for a treat ! Food is real Italian and delicious. Place had been here forever off the beaten track ask around you wont be disappointed.
Unpretentious, no frills no fuss hidden gem in Tableview. Very homey vibe. We really enjoyed our meal here. Had the Domenique pizza and fillet medallions with pasta as a side. Well priced, tasty, decent portions. Our waiter was attentive and helpful in explaining the menu items. Best part, they have amazing little pastries to end off a very enjoyable meal. Wine list not too extensive but take your favorite bottle with, as corkage is only R25! Great for both a romantic or family night out.

I’ve been here twice recently for Pizza, and have not been disappointed. The pizza is a 4 plus +!
This venue, between Parklands & Tableview, is unassuming & may have been an actual house once..?
It looks not to have been decorated since circa 1977, when it was perhaps someone’s front room!
I bet many of the thousands of people that drive through this busy thoroughfare every day have never bothered to drop in for a pizza or pasta. I urge them to give it a try sometime.
I’ve tried 2 different pizzas here and both were brilliant.
R127.00 for a Capriccioso & 2 Castle Lites, sans tip, is a veritable bargain!
I only have two gripes but they are not food related.
On my first visit there I had the house red wine which was tasteless! I come from the wine industry and had never even heard of this cheap plonk, so a tip to the owners- just get some Two Oceans or Leopards Leap, not this gormless attempt at a wine....
The second thing is that there is a “Cash Only” sign by the till. This doesn’t bother me at the R150.00 price end, but what happens if a large family or a work group visit and the bill’s over a Grand..?
One presumes that many a visitor there has had to nip out to Bayside over the road to draw emergency cash. Or worse still, they just don’t go there because you can’t use their Plastic.
Business lost!
Not good Capo…

One of my faves. Amazing pasta and their pizza is on point. My go-to place for Neapolitan Pasta for sure and their desserts are my wife’s favorite. Also, R53 for a caprese salad that is just as nice as one from any high end eatery in the mother city is amazing value for money.
A little gem in Tableview. Very casual and laid back atmosphere, although maybe the service is slightly too laid back but no major complaints. Pizza is some of the best I've had in Cape Town (maybe the pizzeria at Spice Route wine farm being an exception). Very reasonable prices and generally a friendly atmosphere. The only thing I would say is that the restaurant itself could do with a little updating and maybe a touch of Italian flair when it comes to the decór; would really add to the experience. Either way this is a great little place and would definitely recommend Forneria Italia, whether eating in or taking away. It will blow your debonnaires or Romans pizza out of the water and will probably work out cheaper.
Really tasty lasagna, first time I tried it was the other night and I really enjoyed it. The pizza and other pastas are also really good. I always do take out, I have never sat and eaten inside the restaurant, so not sure what the atmosphere is like, but the times that I go in to collect they are always busy and seems nice.

Being new to tbe area we decided to try this place for the first time after reading some great reviews here on zomato. We decided to share the parma ham caprese starter which was delish with a far bigger portion than we expected, we washed it down with a bottle of the fairbridge red blend wine which was quite pleasant for an entry level red blend. In fact i enjoyed the wine so much that i made a pig of myself and the bottle was finished by the time my wife finished her glass :-D For our main course i had a biella pizza and my wife ordered the portofino, both were delicious. We wanted to save space to try their dessert menu so we didn't finish all the pizza and ordered the small pastry delights they had on display at the bar are, they were delicious too, so we were a pleasantly surprised couple of customers. Unfortunately our whole evening was spoiled when we were leaving and my wife lost her footing on the stairs when we were leaving, the stairs are very uneven and not adequately illuminated, the owner said that they had never had anyone fall down their stairs in 7 years, my wife only had one glass of wine so definitely wasnt drunk, she should probably have been a bit more attentive down the steps seeing that it was our first time here, fortunately she didnt sustain more than a few grazes and b@ruises and our doggy bag of leftover pizza was splashed allover the paving. I would have given this place a score of 5 if not for the stair fall episode, and pointed out to tbe owner the lack of lighting and uneven nature of the steps, he didnt appear to think that it was a problem, next time someone could be more badly hurt then perhaps he will take note of the hazard when he is being sued in a public liability lawsuit.
The epitome of "authentic" when it comes to Italian joints in Cape Town. Always busy and full of locals, it's not hard to see why. Friendly staff and owners that make you feel at home with wholesome pizza and pastas. Not by any means speedy but worth the wait. Amazing pizzeria.
BEST pizza and pasta. Price is cheaper then even debonairs pizza. I would recommend this restaurant. They take very quick take away orders. My pizza was delicious. And so much avocado...
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.
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.
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.
Authentic Italian food, amazing Pizza - they take Zapper and Cash, no card machines
Great spot for authentic Italian food.
There is a great selection of Pizzas to choose from, every time I’ve had one it has been amazing.
Pasta options look great although I haven’t tried one yet.
Wine List is very nice and corkage is cheap.
Only downfall is that only cash and zapper is accepted so come prepared.
The best pizza I've ever had. Really.
