Bacini's Pizzeria & Deli

we came two of our 4 nights in Cape Town because the food and service and atmosphere was just that good! plentiful options for my vegetarian friend as well as delectable options for me as a meat lover. our first night we shared a gorgeous local shiraz while our wonderfully warm and attentive server Lingi helped her customize her margherita pizza with wild rocket and pecorino, while he steered me towards the penne vodka with burrata (a pasta lovers dream!). we also split a tiramisu which was not too sweet, but perfectly decadent. tonight (a Wednesday) was a bit more busy but we had a wonderful time with our server Lidy, who helped us with an order of the perfectly crisp zucchini fries (which come with an amazing herb-y aioli/dipping sauce), a bottle of pinotage (First Lady) and tonight I tried their mushroom gnocchi which were light and crisped but generously garnished with sautéed mushrooms of different varieties. however the penne definitely holds my heart! a really inviting and warm restaurant for anyone craving Italian in Cape Town.

Enjoyed this carbonara pasta at Bacini’s. Extremely filling. There aperol spritz was average , however my friend enjoyed there spicy marg.

This is one of those legendary places, known for consistency and authenticity. Let’s face it, Italians do pizza and pasta like no other so I highly recommend any of the pizzas (vegetarian my favourite) or pasta. My family loves the ragout served with fat, ribbon pasta. Their breakfasts are excellent too…Bacini’s must feature on your culinary excursion Bucket List.

Bacini's truly delivers on the Italian comfort food front. The pizza was fantastic – perfectly cooked with a great crust and delicious toppings. But the star for me was the Chicken Parma; tender, flavorful, and a generous portion. And don't even get me started on the truffle chips – they were an absolute highlight, crispy and incredibly moreish. It's clear they put effort into every dish.

Wonderful experience. Quality food. Good service. Pizza made in a wood fire pizza oven. The location at the foot of Lions Head at the top of the city bowl is excellent. We had a lovely summer lunch.

Good service, however ours Pizzas were a little bit burnt (my wife sent hers back, i ate mine) and we were a little cold at times as we sat near the entrance and when the door opened for new guests it would create a bit of a draft which was a bit cold at times. Lots of potential though to be a good evening.

Enjoyed my time spent here. Was exceptionally pleased with their pastas and drinks. Came for dinner around 6pm and it was very crowded. Think I had to wait outside for 20 minutes to get a table so I’ll recommend people to make reservations first, especially during busy hours.

The pizza here is top-notch. The service is quick and friendly. It's such a cozy little spot. Warm atmosphere inside. One of my favorite places on kloof. I have good memories here. Definitely recommend. Make a reservation before you go. They tend to be busy most of the time :)
