Trattoria Maranello

Big family dinner but no-one had great reviews or comments. It took a while to get service after we were seated. It was busy but thats still not acceptable.Then we were told a number of specials weren't available. We shared a table salad and focaccio as a starter, and finally placed our 6 orders for main meals. By the time that they arrived the place was starting to empty. We had been seated albeit in conversation for 1.5 hrs when the mains arrived and then at 9.00 PM they were chasing to get us out of the place because of COVID curfew restrictions.Happy to take our money but not too keen to deliver on service.Its more expensive than your average pizzeria but didn't deliver on a busy night.

If you've had a rough day or just feel like having a drink with a view then this is the perfect place. They have an extensive cocktail list and their prices are really good too. If you feel like a nibble the focaccia is delicious. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The deck overlooks the ocean which is perfect for chilling and catching some afternoon sun.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch.... Flavour-filled food and delicious dessert delights. Service was great and friendly. We look forward to our next visit.

Amazing friendly staff Annah. She is friendly kind and informative. Setting great... food good.... well priced. This will become a regular getaway takeaway and eatery for us thanks guys job well done ..... please keep it up

Great venue but I felt R42 for a Savannah was outrageous. Not sure why the alcohol prices are so high for a west coast seaside town ... we would have stayed much longer had the prices been more in line with what we pay around town.

Great Italian spot on the beach!Pizza is amazing! Love the atmosphere!We love the table on the road with a sea view.

Hostess very friendly on arrival. For the preferred deck dining space, you need to book super early. Waitron was knowledgable of specials, gave us time to decide and updated regularly. Food made from scratch, so takes a little longer. That gives time to gasp at the astonishing wine selection on offer. Both local and International. Good food, great service. A great place for couples or small groups.

We visited the restaurant late afternoon and had dinner until early evening after a long trip from Welkom to Melkbos. The staff was very friendly and the food excellent. The meatball pizza special is highly recommended. We will visit again

Lovely dining experience and would highly recommend to anyone travelling that past of the Western Cape

Our party of five went there for Sunday lunch on a beautiful January day. Two of us had the linefish with angel hair spaghetti and a creamy sauce, served with stirfry vegetables. The dish was exquisite. One had the pizza carbonara and was equally complimentary about the taste. The pizza stromboli (folded over in an unusual shape to hint at the volcano) was also highly recommended, while my wife had one of the daily specials - prawns with black spaghetti and a saffron sauce - and enjoyed it immensely. For dessert, the Zabaglione is highly recommended, as is the Cassata Siciliana Originale, Service was excellent, with our waiter (Dumile) proving to be very knowledgeable and with a delightful sense of humour.
