Caffe Mario Knysna

We ordered a pizza for collection. Upon arrival, we were welcome to take a cumfy seat by the entrance, where we waited a short while for our pizza. We were provided with takeaway extras to add to our pizza. The pizza had a thin and crunchy crust. There were adequate toppings and full of flavour. Next time we return, we will dine in and enjoy the atmosphere.

As we got into Knysna we stopped here because the reviews were great and my husband loves pasta. I won't lie the food did not disappoint. But for me the best part was they had games you could play while waiting for your food like Uno amd other board games.

The place is cozy and nice to eat in. We ordered funghi, arabbiata, vegetariana, and buffalo. The arabbiata was really good as it had chilli and tomato paste. The funghi was decent as well but we thought it would come with cream but nonetheless it was nice. The buffalo didnt have much mozzarella , and the sauce wasnt that nice in my opinion. The vegetariana was so good as it had the perfect mixture of cheese, sauce and vegetables. Overall the pizza doughs are really nice and their tomato sauce is really good. One thing we didnt like is that the bill had 10% tip written on it. A tip should be given based on preference it shouldn’t be forced.

Cafe Mario., A home away from home, Business,pleasure or just abit of leasure... What a team what a spot. Jesus bless this Business and the team . For this is an Oasis of Good food and fellowship. 🙌👏✝️ Highly recommend,(give grace if the meal isn't in standard)Why it's Knynsa ,staff and seasons hit hard. However Cafe Mario is the Local lekker spot. 🥳🥳🥳

Wonderful service! We called in our order in advance. They waited for us at the door and as soon as they saw us they started taking our food to the table. It was awesome. I had the cheesecake for pudding which was really nice. Tasted authentic. They didn't have any cocktails on the menu though... I think that might be a nice addition but their food is fantastic and really well priced. Proper Italian cuisine.

It’s more like a 3.5 and 4 adjusted for the location. We got a recommendation on this place by locals and also saw the high reviews and decided to come in without a reservation. The staff were very nice and the owner promised to find us a table, which essentially happened faster than he said. The deco is a bit weird, along with the seating and the fact that the waitrons kept on moving chairs inside and outside and breaking off tables. We just wanted a light meal and found that the wine selection was pretty arrow and disappointing. We ordered a pizza, since the restaurant smelled like it and it was a big part of the menu, but were very disappointed by the crust, which was extremely thin (not in a nice way). They do serve chilly, fresh garlic and Parmesan with every pizza. We also had an Italian salad which was fresh, but nothing special here. Carrot cake for a dessert - lacked icing but it was ok overall. The place was packed with locals and maybe this is the best Italian place around, but I can’t say that.

I had a wonderful evening at Mario's. Everything was perfect, staff, food and atmosphere. Very friendly waiters! Best pizza ever! Will definitely see me again. Thanks

I just had the alfredo pasta dish and wow, it was delicious. This is true Italian cuisine. The vibe feels Italian too and the owner and manager are so welcoming and friendly. All the staff members are friendly too. I can highly recommend this true gem in Knysna!
