Including menu ‘cause it’s absolutely impossible to find otherwise. Bolognese and carbonara were decent, pasta slightly softer than ideal but good flavour. Edit. If you saw that photo of my friend no you didn’t 😌

Overall experience is great. The only disappoint part was steak, don’t ever eat steak here, it is too salty. I don’t think they will replace u a new one as well. If u come here’s try risotto. I give 5/5 on risotto

I had one of the best steaks at this restaurant. The pasta was also great. Its close to the V&A Waterfront. The restaurant is spacious, decorated with art and the food is superb. I recommend this place if you like Italian.

Good carbonara and tortellini. Taste was good, price was ok but a little more pricey than I thought it would be. Service was a little slow. All in all a good Italian place with nice atmosphere.

Amazing food and service is the best we had in a long time. The waiter Josh was perfect, he helped us to choose dishes and he was really kind.

I stumbled onto this Italian spot by chance. There was a warm welcome and a buzz about the place even before dinner time. Service was excellent. The wine selection really good and well priced. The complimentary bread and flat bread, a good start. The langoustine pasta was perfect - pasta was al dente, the chili was just enough and the langoustine tails and pieces were tasty. I liked the art on the walls, some of which you can purchase. Will be back one day. Maybe for a first date 😁

Amazing! The ambiance and setting of the restaurant is a cozy, upscape space with a sprinkle of art gallery but in your dining room sort of a feel. The staff was wonderful and so friendly! And saving the best for last the food! Oh boy was it delicious, especially that four cheese sauce that was on the raviolis. I would come back just for that incredible sauce wow!

I love this restaurant , I love Paula and Dan as well .

Best Italian restaurant in Cape Town and I don’t say this lightly. I had the carbonara, two people I went with had the prawn and then a mushroom risotto and the last person had a filet and all were fantastic, especially the risotto, but literally everything we ate was extremely authentic and delicious. Extremely affordable for the quality and the portions are very large, I wasn’t able to finish my plate and took some home. Anyone who appreciates true Italian food needs to come here!

A unique Italian themed restaurant with decadant food and a good selection of Italian wines to compliment your dish. A lovely intimate setting with great ambiance. Will definitely be back when I'm in Cape Town again. Highly recommended!

Lovely hidden gem. Fresh pasta and absolutely tasty. Very friendly staff. A must try with family and friends

This place blew me away! Great great service and fantastic food!

Consistently great food and good service. I have returned several times and always enjoy the food and atmosphere.

Great place, food and wine

The food was absolutely divine and their wine selection is unmatched! The art on the walls took my breath away

Vibrant Italian style restaurant. Would recommend the fried calamari starter together with the Tagliata main coupled with a Tamboerskloof shiraz. Fancy setting, but very relaxed attire perfect for a relaxing dinner night out.

Amazing ambiance only outdone by the fantastic food

Delicious Italian food with a warm & cozy atmosphere perfect. The Staff are friendly and make you feel very welcomed. Best pasta in Cape Town!

The upstairs dining area is well laid out for social distancing- but the minimalist look creates an echo that makes for very noisy dining. Pasta was delicious but I have to be honest R176 for vegetarian sage butter Ravioli......mmm I'm not sure about. Trust, our waiter was excellent.

Was my second visit. This time I went with my wife for our anniversary I was a little less impressed... I really loved the "burrata al fresco" and the linguine primavera. My wife was very happy withe the Bufala caprese and with the meat of the tagliata. She was not happy at all with the side vegetables: they look and taste like cheap supermarket precut and reheated veggies In general, it is quite expensive. Service was quick and efficient

They did not have the wine on the menu. The bolognese was runny and watery. Not easy to park. But nice venue. Friendly attentive staff. I won't be back.

Very amazing food, great ambience.

Went here for my birthday dinner. Service excellent. I had the ceviche to start which was sublime. My partner had the the bean and pasta soup. She wasn't expecting it to be tomato based, but good nonetheless. We all had various pastas. I had a Puttenesca. But the best was the Vongole. We couldn't fit in any more food, but loved the authentic Italian experience.

Really enjoyed our meal at your restaurant, my husband's pasta was lacking his favorite hot sauce, Marie Sharp's. Hopefully you will add it to your condiments available. Your red wine by the glass was divine.

A 5 star experience.... The pasta dish was awesome. Tranquil ambient setting a definite must for all Pasta lovers. Awesome coffee ☕ as well.

Both pasta dishes looked great at first sight. Once we started to mix up the pasta it were a lot of excessive oil. The veal meatballs were ok.

Always a pleasure to dine at Il Leone. Beautiful dining experience with very good solid flavour in their dishes in a warm atmosphere. Good wine selection on the international side. Unfortunately not that big of a selection of South African wines.

An elegant and delicious restaurant, and the staff are amazing 👏 We came two times The first time, it was busy, and the leader advised us to the next restaurant, and it was an amazing experience So the second time we booked Really, it was deserved

An amazing restaurant with great dishes and very kind service. Highly recommended for a perfect Italian meal 😋

Terrific white tablecloth experience. We were able to snag a last-second reservation thanks to a cancelation and are so grateful we did. Caprese was good but the olive oil was great. I had the lamb chops: juicy and delicious. Wife had line fish and it was flakey, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We especially liked the side of greens served with each dish. Can’t say enough about the ambiance here: it feels both fancy and casual at the same time. Service was friendly if just a little slow.

Great service and atmosphere with good selection of Italian food (seafood tagliatelle is a must) and South African wine. Better to book for lunch, as it may get a bit busy.

An absolutely beautiful place to dine when in Cape Town.. The service was excellent as well.

Very classy top Italian restaurant

Good food , under stuffed service not good

I haven’t been on a first date in ages, but this would be the perfect place for one. Great food that is always at least as good as the last visit. Impressive wine selection and nice cosy ambiance! This is also my favourite place to go when the weather is bad.

Beautiful restaurant and high-quality food. However, R176 for four ravioli simply does not make sense (delicious though they were).

Starters were good. For mains ordered a pasta and but it only came with six tiny prawns. Prawn pasta = 90% pasta and 10% prawn

Really good pasta, burrata and wine. Great service!

The best Italian restaurant in Cape Town, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Excellent! All the food was amazing! I will recommend the restaurant for all my friends and family! Great atmosphere.

My wife, Vivienne, and I had lunch at IL Leone today. This was our first time and we both agree that it was one of the best dining experiences that we have enjoyed in a very long time. The food, the ambiance, the service were all beyond reproach and we will certainly be going back for more..

Fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant in the Cape Town foreshore. Great service, varied menu and food is top class. Very good wine selection too.

A personal favourite for Italian food; consistently delicious pasta with fresh ingredients and great flavours. The pasta itself is always perfectly cooked and the dishes are expertly seasoned. Pictured is one of their ravioli dishes; which like many others was scrumptious and unexpectedly filling. Though the pasta's are a must have they also have great steaks and other main dishes and the desserts are awesome. Very popular so would advise booking in advance for larger groups. Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy.

Great pasta

Excellent food and friendly staff

Brilliant as always!

Food was amazing

We went to the restaurant under a reservation from our hotel at 9:30pm, when we arrived we meet Miss Gloria, she side the kitchen already closed!!! The working hours written in the door till 10:30pm.

Nice place and excellent service BUT food is not as good as it could be. Don't ask for the Spaghetti Vongole!!! No flavor at all, only chili (????) I love this plate and have eaten many times in many places...they destroyed it. The carpaccio absolutely freeze and the ragu sauce seems like packed one. The place, the Panna cotta and specially the nice polite waiter avoids me from giving them a 2 stars

(Translated by Google) Incredible 🤍 Thank you very much (Original) Incredibile 🤍 Mille grazie

(Translated by Google) Nice place, good food maaaaa ... pay attention to the bill ... there could be more items .. so I have to remove two stars !!!!! Respect brings respect .... (Original) Bel locale, buona cucina maaaaa... attento al conto ... potrebbero esserci voci in più .. per cui mi tocca togliere due stelle !!!!! Rispetto porta rispetto ....

Great place to be

Great dinner

Excellent Italian restaurant in town. One of my favourites when I'm visiting. Can't miss their pasta with Ragú...

I was sad there were only three pieces but damn! SO GOOD!!
