Gardens Restaurants

This bustling, vibrant and friendly venue has earned its place as one of Cape Town's friendliest restaurants. Service comes with a smile and the pizzas and pastas come with unique family recipes to ensure that all Bacini's foods are exceptional! The gorgeous summer nights are embraced with the setting out of this restaurant – an outside seating area accommodates 60 people and one can easily feel as though you may be sitting at a trattoria in Italy, with Kloof Street turning into a magically lit backdrop. Romondo and family are always happy to mingle among the diners and their hospitality and service ethic will make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit to Bacini's! In winter this is a cozy 'hang-out” offering a unique blend of garlic aromas, the sound of happy laughter, and the clinking of glasses as locals, regulars and “new kids” on the block toast to life in the happy family environment. The pizzas are as generous as the Napoli family and the pastas are.....well....Italian! Delicious, divine and delectable! We offer a selection of meat and chicken dishes, salads, pizzas and pastas. Wherever your taste-buds feel like taking you, you will be transported to a culinary experience that is real value for money and you will be back for more!

The restaurant holds a charming and energetic ambiance, enjoyed even more in the leather booths and dimmed cosy lighting. Drawings saturate the walls adding character and charm! Order a pizza and expect handmade, thin and crusty base, cooked to perfect in the genuine wood burning oven, topped with an assortment of delicious toppings, enjoyed with a good bottle of wine or crisp beer. Burgers satisfy hearty palates, dressed in all the trimmings, with choice of beef, chicken, ostrich and vegetarian. Try the Brussels with blue cheese and fig!

Small and intimate, Limoncello caters with a cosy dining area and relaxing bar/lounge for pre/after dinner drinks. Try their delicious pizza base crisps dipped in olive oil and balsamic before tucking into a hearty pizza. The menu is small but big on flavour offering traditional Italian dishes tossed with garlic and typical Italian ingredients. The wine list is small but well partnered with the menu.

This café cum bar cum restaurant entices with lunch and nibbles and delicious coffee alongside a deli dedicated to nothing other than mozzarella. Serving light meals with an Italian influence and the best mozzarella in South Africa, you will find this bar the ideal place to drink coffee and read a paper, eat breakfast or nibble on a light lunch before shopping for mozzarella.

Located within an industrial style space, the clean and welcoming décor makes the perfect backdrop indulging in pasta, Italian coffee, homemade cakes and deserts. Soak up the summer alfresco over a sumptuous breakfast or read the paper over a bowl of freshly made pasta and bottle of locally produced wine.
