Unbelievable food, every, single, time!!Have always had a fantastic experience here, and have been visiting for over 15 years! Owner run restaurant with unparalleled quality.

When anyone in Cape Town hears of Mama Roma Newlands they think of Chris Barnard who was involved in it in his hey day! An old traditional Italian Restuarant that has been going for years and apparently maintained its standards. I popped in for lunch on Friday and was surprised it was so empty. They have very heavy wooden chairs with dated upholstery but crisp clean white table clothes. I had the Veal Masala with a large portion of chips. It comes with vegetables which today were spinach and grilled vegetables. The veal was thin and tender, well cooked and tasty with a dark gravy and mushrooms. The spinach was ok but the roast vegetables were great. Good to see a restaurant still serving good good after so many years.

A lovely, warm and friendly restaurant with tasty food and great service. Classic Italian dishes alongside crowd-pleasers like steak and fish. It's a bit old-fashioned, maybe, but in this case that's a compliment.

Our favourite local Italian spot. Meals are always consistently good and service very personal and warm. Veal to die for and the ox liver is also quite special.
