Had a mediteranian pizza but it just did not have the fresh taste the generous helping calamari tamato garlic and chilli should have. Only when finishing off I realised that the pizza had sugar added.... probably instead of salt. It was disapointing as they came highly recomended.

I have a never been disappointed with this wonderful family restaurant. The owners are always so welcoming as are the rest of the staff members. They are always happy to make up a platter if one feels like one wants a bit of everything. I particularly love the calamari, the aubergine and the truffle pasta. I can't seem to get enough of their food.

We have been to this Restaurant many, many times and it is always good. Their pastas are great.Excellent wine list.Book a table to avoid being disappointed.Parking can be difficult on busy nights..

I have not been here for 2 years & used to come here many years ago, but walking in I felt it was like yesterday!The service was warm and welcoming & the starter platter was delicious.The veal dishes were tasty and plentiful & the sauces authentic & fabulous!It was a wonderful re visit & will go back.It is pricy but really worth it.

Impeccable service, reasonably priced and generous portions. Personally I was underwhelmed by the dessert compared to the rest of the food, but there was still an interesting selection.

Two weekends in a row we enjoyed Magica Roma, they are always full, there is a message in that.We love this place for a yummy meal in a casual atmosphere, please don’t change a thing.

I visited this restaurant twice during a recent visit to South Africa, and the food really impressed me. I had the Osso Bucco (a special) on my first visit and the Norvegese pizza on my second visit. Both dishes were simply presented, but prepared with fresh ingredients (and love!). It was particularly impressive that the two owners could be seen showing diners to their tables and even waited on tables! Although a full, noisy restaurant, it was good to see so many happy diners enjoying their food. Some earlier reviewers complain that the wait for food is too long, but I say relax and enjoy another glass of wine! I have recommended this restaurant to locals and others in my own country and will certainly make Magica Roma my first stop whenever I travel to Cape Town.

Visited this restaurant for the first time and we were not disappointed! The food was exceptional as was the service. Very homely restaurant. Would definitely recommend to anyone that loves Italian. Will certainly be back.

Really enjoyed this place and the authenticity of it. Run by two proper Italians, the food is amazing and the service matches it. Will return.

I booked a table here for my anniversary. We we greeted with enthusiasm and seated in the "special section" at the back where the chef continuously came around to talk to us, suggest dishes and make sure everything was ok. What was most interesting to me was the chef's willingness to redesign his dishes to suit your taste buds! He said that he has modified countless dishes depending on what his customers like and he has even made up dishes which he cannot remember or replicate. I thought this may be a bit risky since I did not know what I felt like but I knew I wanted it to be traditional and simple. I opted for the risotto ravioli (which was called something else on the menu), my partner had the lamb. His was not as tasty as the vegetarian option unfortunately but I thoroughly enjoyed mine with cream sauce. The snail starters were very good and as was the tiramisu which I ordered for dessert (it had a lot of coffee and liquor in it but is made by the kitchen.) We ordered a beautiful red blend which complimented the food.I really liked the surprise of the sparkler at the end, it ended the evening off well and was the cherry on top!I will be back again for pasta and pizza! Cannot wait!
