    Went for a lovely surprise while in Sea Point. We received a loving welcome full of smiles on entry, and the vibe of the space was great. Delicious food overall, especially the pasta! We had the honour of sitting next to a birthday table, so when the birthday girl came in, we of course sang Happy Birthday in Afrikaans along with the group...so special. Great service and awesome energy from the team at Posticino. Many thanks for the memorable eve. Will be back when in the area. Molte grazie! Take care til next time...

    Pizza was incredible. Really light and this base with good toppings the resturant itself is a bit of a warren of rooms that seem quite disjointed. Overall a decent experience and the staff managed large tables relatively well. The outdoor section is lovely but wind and umbrellas cause issues.

    If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, look no further. Every dish was delicious, full of flavor and just the right portion size. Very affordable prices. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be dining here again.

    Lovely friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. Made me feel like I was in Italy. The food was good and reasonably priced too boot. All the staff were friendly even though they were very busy. They tried to accommodate everyone. Really enjoyed our experience and will be back.

    If I have to choose my last pizza again, I'm definitely coming here, the soft & fluffy base contrast with woodfired undertone along with cheesiness of the pizza are the qualities I love in a pizza, and Posticino knocked out of the park! I happened to stumble upon this gem while taking a afternoon walk on Main Road! Thankfully it was not crowded so I managed to enjoy a solo date, definitely worth coming back!

    Amazing Italian food. The pasta was the best one I’ve tasted so far at South Africa. And the pizza and lasagna was really good too. It was also cheap comparing to restaurants nearby.

    This was no pasta salmone. This was a solid block of congealed butter and cream with the pasta forming the outer walls. The styrofoam box had already leaked the oily mess onto the cover. It was visually disturbing. I tried to strain it at first at home. Some of this fat dripped into the sink, the rest left actual stains on the metal so that I had to use hot water and a scourer to remove it. I tossed the meal after 3 bites. Along with the metal strainer, washcloths and almost a full towel of paper cleaners. It was more like paste than pasta. Something you'd expect from Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare. I've written reviews before, but never anything like this. So here I sit, 2 hours later, nauseous with a pain in my stomach unable to get my R400 back from Uber or I guess the restaurant too. My wife's salad was edible I suppose, but even she threw her salad away. The wasted effort I put into this letter and the complaints that were immediately dismissed by UberEats, would still be preferable than re-eating that dinner. Fellow foodies, don't be duped by the good reviews. This is a BAD restaurant. Please, please, stop.

    Good service. Energetic staff. My pizza could have been better. The base not cooked well. Tasted good. Restaurants should learn that red wine should be kept in a cool place. The red wine ordered was warm. It cooled down standing outside on the table
