The food is tasty and choice is wide. Being busy can lead to slow service at times.

  Home style Italian cooking at its best. Superb service and food so good that you will make your next booking before you leave. It is a great family restaurant with... read more an awesome atmosphere which makes this one my favourite places to eat in Jozi.

  A very disappointing evening. We decided to go to Da Graziella as we had been in the past and had some tasty meals. This time around, however, the service was... read more appaling as we had to wait 45 minutes for our order. Not one of the managers came to our table to give us a reason as to why it was taking so long. We noticed that people who had arrived after us were getting their meals before us. What was supposed to be a nice relaxing evening turned out to be an unpleasant experience! When the food finally arrived it was not the greatest. Don't think we will be going back there anytime soon.

  I’m Italian so I found myself really comfortable in this Italian restaurant.
Waitress are always smiling also if they’re really busy almost all the time.
A reservation is needed.

  Authentic Italian restaurant with a typical shouting Mama keeping everyone in check and making sure the food gets out properly.

A good Italian experience.

  I always have a great meal here. Gnocchi was excellent and it was good service as well on a quiet afternoon.

  Lunch with friends and in company of an Italian birthday party made us feel we were actually in Italy. Had to speak up to be heard but the food was... read more excellent as always.
Another good sign is we always unexpectedly meet friends there. Happened the last 4 lunches!!
We can't all be wrong or?

Highly recommended for the affordable lunch or dinner.

  There are so many varied reviews on Trip Advisor for this venue but I can only comment on my experience. The restaurant was recommended by a friend married to an... read more Italian, so we tried it. The menu is varied and extensive, my husband had a vegetarian pizza which he declared to be "as only an Italian could make". I had a veal Masala, tender with a generous sauce. The magic was in the accompanying vegetables, often an insipid side dish, the carrots were sweet and tasty, the spinach straight from heaven itself. It would make anyone decide it should be a favoured dish.
Don't expect an upmarket, elegant venue...go for the food.
