Interesting and extensive Italian style menu with delicious and quality food to match, the 4 cheese ravioli in particular is phenomenal. The restaurant itself is quaint with beautiful views. In addition, the service is great with accommodating staff - we brought a bottle of wine that was already on the menu so we weren't technically allowed to have it but our waiter let us have it as we didn't know.
Returned for the first time in years while we have been housesitting nearby. Had an AMAZING meal - baked camembert starter, gnocchi ragu, peri peri prawns. Service was awesome and was great chatting to the new owner - great food and cosy, welcoming atmosphere made us decide this is our new favourite restaurant. Have had takeaway pizza through orderin 3 times since and we are obsessed! Basically I think everything they make must be good. Well made food with fresh, quality ingredients. Yum!
As a visitor to Cape Town, it was such a treat to get away from the waterfront and visit this gem. The food was spectacular, the service fantastic and the vibe was really special.
Beautiful fresh homemade pasta. Huge portion sizes! Gorgeous attentive waiters and owner. Has become our regular pasta spot in Cape Town. Fabulous vegan options too. We will be back.
Love, love, Love! From the decor, to the service, and not to mention the FOOD, all were exceptional.
The pizza crust was perfection, so ultra thin. Flavours were great. They even have vegan options!
Honestly one of my favorite pizza places in Cape Town. They serve big portions, and the pizza doesn’t leave you feeling bloated which is amazing. 🍕🙌🏼🍕🙌🏼🍕🙌🏼🍕
I stumbled across this restaurant and found that the setting was amazing , the seating area was comfortable , the waitrons was welcoming, the owner fantastic and the food was delicious, definitely a place to try out 😀 every guest of mine really enjoyed it when I took them dinning at the Woodlands Eatery ✨✨✨✨
The bacon, gorgonzola, avo and chili pizza was delicious! I love the extra thin pizza bases! Followed this with a decadent chocolate truffle! Stunning food, super fast and friendly service and a lovely ambience. What more could you ask for?

We did date night at Woodlands eatery last night, looking for a quirky but nice restaurant, and joked about how there’s no way the food can taste as good as the website photos show -we were in for quite a surprise!
We started out with some prosecco and people watching in the interesting and quirky decorated restaurant ( everyone from large families with children, groups celebrating, as well as smaller tables with some friends and couples, all so completely happy with the food and atmosphere), and eventually were able to decide on food: the Green pizza and mushroom and truffle oil penne pasta. The wait was not too long, and for the quality of the food (both dishes were shared between the two of us), we’d have happily waited much longer! The freshest ingredients, prepared and combined so perfectly that, while we were more than content with the portions, one also doesn't feel the need to have one bite more, as what you are given is exactly how much you’re able to experience (this isn’t merely eating food anymore!). After a while we ordered the chocolate fondant (because, you know, everyone says it’s the best), and were left speechless, and utterly satisfied. Please don’t skip this on your visit!
Both being “foodies” (in the sense that wherever we are, we never let an opportunity pass by to try out a new restaurant or dish), we felt that this place, the food, and the service: from the friendly hostess, to owner, whose warm and sincere attention is focussed on ensuring everyone is having a memorable, top notch experience at Woodlands Eatery, as well as the waiters (thanks Troy!) who makes one feel most welcome.
Definitely a must visit restaurant in Cape Town for locals and visitors alike, and one we’ll be sure to return to! Thanks so much to everyone at Woodlands eatery :)
I enjoyed the cauliflower pizza base with four cheese, also liked the hand cut chips and zucchini fritters. it is dog friendly in the front section which is nice for my pups

I had my birthday celebration at The Woodlands Eatery last night. It is easy to see why The Woodlands Eatery was voted one of the best Italian restaurants in Cape Town 2018 by The Inside Guide.
From start to finish the experience was memorable. The restaurant is beautiful and relaxed, the food delicious and the service excellent.
Such a great vibe and atmosphere. I love the quirky decor. This is a real neighbourhood gem.
The owner Matteo was very accommodating, I increased the amount of people for my party a few times and each time I received a quick friendly email response to say it was not a problem. He came to personally greet us at the table and wish us a good evening. The Italian waitress Laura was great. The staff were very attentive from the moment we arrived,
The food was fabulous, top-notch. Everybody (and I mean everybody) loved the food. The chocolate fondant was out of this world.
I would highly recommend this spot. Great Italian food, reasonable prices and a taste of ole Italy. Thanks Matteo and staff for making my birthday special and for your Italian hospitality.
Hidden gem!
Had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Warm atmosphere, good service and very generous portions. Went with a group and we had pizza pasta and burger. All were great, can really taste and appreciate the homemade ingredients!
I’ve been here several times and just keep forgetting to do a review, this restaurant has great food and great service almost always. I would not recommend the three cheese gnocchi as it is extremely rich however all the other meals I have had here were outstanding their assorted bruschetta offered an interesting twist to the classic tomato offering variations with mushroom and egg plant. Decor is nothing special but space is always clean and homely. Menu also has helpful wine parings.
I've been here twice now, and both experiences have been magnificent. Everyone I've brought with agrees wholeheartedly.
Some of the best Italian food to be found in Cape Town, for a very reasonable price. Staff are friendly and attentive.
We had a truly wonderful time at Woodlands Eatery.
All the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. the owner is very present and very accommodating and it gives the whole restaurant a really nice and comfortable family atmosphere!
Food was delicious and the portions were very generous.
Would definitely recommend to anyone in the mood for good Italian cuisine. We will definitely be going back!
Scott was great and really knew his menu. The food was good and the atmosphere is relaxing. I’ll definitely be back here!
Having been here twice, I have enjoyed both times immensely. The food is fantastically flavorful, and very well cooked. Portions are well sized and quite generous. Service is good, and I found both the wait-staff and owner attentive and personable. Over all, a wonderful Italian restaurant with a good host of options at reasonable prices.
Wow...what amazing pizza and tiramisu! Quality ingredients and such delicious flavor

The food is tasty, but I probably wouldn’t remember this restaurant at the end of the trip.
* eggplant parmigiana was good
* you can make your own pizza which is very nice. The crust is thin and the pizza is tasty, but too oily for my taste
* we had aperol spritz and edelflower g&t, both very good
* they offer a suggestion for each dish to pair it with a glass of wine. I find this very useful as I am not a regular wine drinker so I wouldn’t know how to choose the right one
