Bardelli's Restaurant - Cape Town

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.

Wow what a great find! Excellent food, excellent service and an ambience to die for. This will definitely become a regular hangout for us.

Delicious! We went there for the first time last night for my boyfriend’s birthday. What an all-round 5 star experience! The best pizza I’ve had in a long time, warm and friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back

Some of the most tasty food in the whole southern front of South Africa! Unique recipe and excellent friendly staff would highly recommend :
