Roma Revolving Restaurant

Definitely not for solo traveller! I booked for exactly one person and when I came the waitress asked me - “oh is the second person not coming?”. Yeah - I travel on my own. Despite that - this is definitely an institution with Giorgio Leopardi being the real charmer of the place. It is worth a visit for the views and the retro experience - splendid 70s vibe. Go at the sunset - you can turn in 30-45mis. Order your main together with a starter - I waited 20mins for the menu to come back to me, and just ended up skipping main for hope of bundle of joy and comfort tiramisu always is. What a surprise!!! Tiramisu felt more like a generic layered cake with cream: some coffee flavour, hardly any mascarpone character and worst of all - served warm (I do understand it is warm in Durban but still…). Its texture was more dense and soggy than light and airy. Sadly no staple Italian cocktails on menu - yet, when asked for negroni, which they pronounced cheekily “negaroni” (!!!) - it was quite decent. For a place that trades so heavily on Italian branding, this was a real let-down and below par w even with a simple neighbourhood café in Rome. The setting is fun, service is polite, and the rotating panorama of Durban is unique, but the kitchen should seriously improve their efforts. For comparison only - how the deser looked like earlier in the day at Mozambik… same price of the desert - completely different experience.

It was after New year... Fully booked and operating short staffed.. I have only given 4 stars for service as there was room for improvement in that area. The food was absolutely delicious. The Chateaubriand 😍👌 The mushroom surprise 🍄👌 Calamari 💯👏👏👏 It's definitely an occasion venue... Very good food and the views ❤️

Just a superb experience. You need to do this at least once in your lifetime! Views are incredible. Staff very attentive. Management visible and very friendly. Best baked desserts we have had in many years. Excellent fillet steak!!! Quality met Quantity 😀

A golden oldie that is well worth the visit. Think old school service (our waiter has been working there since 1979!), attention to detail and truly delicious Italian food. Of course, the piece de resistance' is the view of the Durban skyline 31 floors up which changes ever so slowly as the floor rotates. They also cater for special events (in a designated area). Prices are comparative to any other upper echelon restaurant.

Beautiful setting with Italian music and a retro vibe with breadsticks and sweet bread served while you wait for the meals to be prepared. Expect to wait for service as this is not a restaurant to visit when you are in a hurry. Appreciate the 360° view of Durban from this revolving restaurant which is one of only 3 in the southern hemisphere. One rotation of the restaurant takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Definitely worth a visit.

Our first of many more visits to this beautiful, well run restaurant. The owner Gino who took our orders is very friendly and it is a treat to listen to his stories. His explanation of the dishes and recommendations was truly appreciated. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was top notch with all of us enjoying our meals - only compliments from everyone. There was lovely italian music in the background which was at just the perfect volume to be enjoyed even while we were able to chat amongst us. Theres no comparison to the view which just fits in perfectly with the entire experience. Thank you Gino and the staff!

What an impeccable place... The view is absolutely stunning and the service is too tier, I really had an amazing with my partner. 🥰💯

A must visit when in Durban, can’t fault anything, good old fashioned Italian hospitality, delicious food, excellent service from the friendly staff and owners and to top it off with a beautiful view of the city, definitely recommend. Grazie Mille!
