    Best pizza, best steak, best atmosphere. Meant to take pictures of our happy hour cocktails and food but got caught up. The staff are amazing and go the extra mile. There is a wide variety of delicious meals for every taste, even the little one's. And they do breakfast too.

    Don't know someone who don't like their pizza's. Although they don't sell alcohol, you are allowed to bring your own wine. This could be a cheap outing then. Nice warm ambiance in the winter months.

    Aesthetically decorated - check Wide variety of amazing drinks - check Service was a bit slow even though there were a few patrons.. The food looked and tasted amazing, except for the chicken lasagne ( it was dry and flavorless ). I would go back in hopes of a better experience!

    Overall, just average. Went in for breakfast. Waitress was polite. We were not made aware of/offered their breakfast special until we overheard a regular customer request it. (By then we had already placed our order). I noticed that regular customers receive much better service. The eatery is small,cosy and very clean. Food was not great. Bacon and sausage tasted weird, however the hashbrowns were very delicious. We also got a tramezzini which was huge and just alright. Nothing to rave about. Fries served with it was great. What I did thoroughly enjoy was my latte!

    Food Starters: Crumbed Mushrooms & Spicy Chicken Strips • Mushrooms were crumbed well, but were bland and desperately required seasoning. • Chicken strips were excellent! It was extremely spicy and well seasoned. It was enjoyed and would be recommended. Mains: Grilled Hake; Del Forno Prego Portuguese Roll; Grande Vegetarian Burger • Hake was dry and lacked flavour entirely. Certainly not worth it. • Prego Roll was overall bland, the sauce tasted of nothing, lacked seasoning and contained raw onions. • Burger was also relatively bland, the only thing you could taste was the tsatsiki and the halloumi was overdone. Dessert: Ooey Gooey Choc Chip Cookie & Baked Cheesecake with Hazelnut sauce • Cookie was covered in caramel sauce which was not too enjoyable. It was served with a scoop of tasteless vanilla ice-cream which was not great at all, regular soft-serve ice-cream would've been far better. • Cheesecake did not taste like cheesecake at all. It was merely a textured slice of dessert that tasted of nothing really. It was doused with chocolate sauce, no flavour of hazelnut whatsoever. ___________________________________________________________ Space: Aesthetically pleasing, with a nice ambiance. Restaurant is neat and well presented. Service: Manager and staff made the effort to check on us for the duration we were there. Waitress was too soft spoken and seemed unhappy to serve us. Prices: The meal prices are medium-to-high. Some are unreasonable, for instance, R120 for a mediocre burger. The prices don't meet the standard and taste of the food served. Overall: Mediocre, Overpriced, Bland.

    The setting is lovely. Spacious, good decor. Service was slow.. just one waiter and many behind the counter. Pizzas were average. Falafel burger was delicious. Great vegetarian variety.

    Ordered pasta and pizza. The ham was grey and cream in the pasta was off and sour completely. The prosciutto on the pizza was rotten and grey and there was fake parmesan scattered on cooked break with no pizza base sauce at all. The rocket served on top was also brown and off. We couldn't even eat our meal despite paying almost R300 for it

    If I could rate this place negative stars I would. Pathetic service from Lisa. I have been here while the previous management was in charge which was much better I can guarantee. New owner and management has taken over. Steak CEO special were both ordered rare which was confirmed twice by the manager but we were served medium steak. I showed the manager after I ordered but accepted because we were always treated brilliantly by the previous management and one mistake can be okay (a decision I now greatly regret since it's a rude owner now and new management and I will never be back here). Lisa, the new owner, extremely rude did not at first listen to a order I had placed with the manager in charge at the time where at that point of receiving the bill had gone home. According to her happy hour order can be shared which since day one of dining at Delforno we were told happy hour can never be shared which we were well aware of hence we ordered two specials! Lisa refused to acknowledge what had happened during the order and I asked how is it my fault as the customer that all my drinks were not brought to my table at once during happy hour. She made me pay for this inflated bill which was incorrect as per our order. I want a refund!!! Drinks were ordered during happy hour 2 x specials ordered during happy hour second set brought after happy hour and was charged full price for each drink! Pathetic service from Lisa and I told her they have lost a valued customer as we frequent Delforno. Not anymore! Let me leave it here. Future customers, I have warned!
