pizza vesuvio

absolutely love this place... intimate rustic feel and mouth watering pizzas!!!! the staff are super friendly and welcoming, felt like i was being welcomed to eat at someones home.

it's an interesting italian restaurant, owned by an italian family . everybody is very kind. the food is close to original italian , with good pizzas and pastas. the worst are the desserts, like the tiramisu (not so tasty, fluffed up and not dense enough) or what they call gelato ( italian ice cream) that tastes a bit fake. so indulge in starters and mains and skip desserts. the area unfortunately doesn't help the experience. a bit dead and with no charm. they would do much better in town.

real family italian cooking.  mom in the kitchen, dad in charge of the pizza oven and their two kids serve the tables.  real hearty cooking, food delicious and the vibe warm and cozy!

nice little italian restaurant hidden away at the tygerwaterfalls.

was craving pizza so i went on zomato to look for great pizza places around the northern subs. i found the pizza vesuvio who was 1st on my list and was rated a 4.1. i decided to go there and the place looks like a very small intimate restaurant.

overall experience the pizza was good i enjoyed it not the best pizza i have had but was nice having a pure italian pizza without having too much stuff on like these take away pizza places. i’ve read a lot of the reviews about how great they pasta is. so i will definitely come back to try that and maybe then i will give them a higher score.

so if you want to enjoy a pure italian night out try pizza vesuvio the place screams italian. italian owners, italian waiters, italian food, and italian wine.

ps make a booking before you go there. it gets booked out on weekends. looks like it's a very popular place.

pizza vesuvio is an absolute gem. very unexpected, it is traditional italian amily run, silvana cooks amazing fresh italian food with only the freshest ingredients. id suggest having something other than the izza. the pizza is good but the rest is amazing!!

food 4
service 3.5/4
drinks 5
environment 3.5

the best pizza i’ve had so far. i really suggest you give them a try. we had the margarita and we wanted to try more but the doh was sold out. the photo of the pizza doesn’t look amazing, but i promise it was.
improve? a margarita needs basil. i really missed that.
the dessert, tiramisu, wasn’t good. they didn’t use espresso or cheese. but simply cream with a coffee liqueur. that was disappointing. i don’t recommend.

the service was friendly and helpful. (second time the service wasn’t that friendly.)

the environment inside was way too noisy and full so we sat outside. it was way more quiet, and they do have things to block the wind.
improve? add more prettiness, like a candle or something. maybe also a cushion.

we found this lovely italian style ristorante in the heart of tygervalley, lovely decor, we were seated at a small table, bit uncomfortable, service was slow and not attentive, but we loved the food, starter, insulata caprese salad soft, delicious mozzarella cheese, my companion had the mushroom risotto, loved it, lamb shanks average, but pizza was simply delicious, mouthwatering, highly recommended, but booking essential if you want good seating...good experience all in all, will be back indeed...

authentic neapolitan pizza in cape town. this is one of only 3 restaurants in ct where you can get it. very very good pizza!! i would drive from cape town cbd to go here.

disappointing food and service. staff is very rude

my cousin had a work event at this establishment and advised me to never go here - the service was apparently slow and half the orders never came by the end of the evening. despite this, i tried going twice as they are conveniently close to where i stay. bad idea! poor service and the food just not measuring up to expectations, especially considering the great food available from any of the restaurants in the area.

been a few times to this establishment. love the pizza. love the rustic decor. bonus points for having my favorite beer on tap.

family run restaurant with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
great! pizzas and large wine selection.
desserts (gelato with and chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse) were surprisingly yummy!

food portions are way to small for the price. it took a waiter 15min before he attended to us. i ask for rare fillet but got over cooked well done. owner is not interested in his clients needs. do not waste your time and money on a 1/2 star establishment.
the menu online is not the same anymore and much more expensive. false advertising just to get you there.

thoroughly enjoyed our evening celebrating a friends birthday!
the food was amazing! we had the seafood pappardelle and filled calamari gnocchi, which both had beautiful flavours and were cooked well. the only down side was the small portions for the price which did leave you wanting more. we didn’t have any other courses so did feel a bigger portion would have been better.
the ambiance was perfect to celebrate with friends - at no point was i distracted by other tables, the kitchen, noise etc. our waiter was also great and looked after us well the entire evening!

stopped for a bit to eat because the copper club was full. definitely regret it. the place was really empty but still the service we received was below par. the waiter was not interested in helping us. we ordered a marinara pizza. it was soggy and didn’t taste like much.
