    A Heartfelt Italian Experience at Dal Italia Deli with Fabio and Family During my recent visit to Hermanus, I had the pleasure of dining at Dal Italia Deli, a charming establishment that promises not just delicious Italian cuisine but also the warm embrace of the owner, Fabio, and his welcoming family. My experience at this delightful deli was nothing short of heartwarming. A Family Affair: From the moment I entered Dal Italia Deli, it was evident that this was more than just a restaurant; it was a labor of love for Fabio and his family. Their passion for Italian cuisine and their commitment to creating a welcoming environment was palpable, and it set the tone for a truly memorable dining experience. Warm and Inviting Ambiance: The deli's cozy ambiance, complete with rustic Italian decor and soft lighting, provided the perfect backdrop for an intimate meal. It felt like stepping into the comforting embrace of an Italian family kitchen. Fabio's Personal Touch: What sets Dal Italia Deli apart is Fabio's personal touch. He greeted us with a warm smile, shared stories about his Italian heritage, and made us feel like honored guests in his home. His genuine enthusiasm for Italian cuisine was contagious and added an extra layer of authenticity to our meal. Exquisite Italian Fare: The menu at Dal Italia Deli is a testament to the flavors of Italy. From homemade pasta dishes that melt in your mouth to the divine Italian creations cooked to perfection in their humble kitchen, every dish was a work of art. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident in each bite. Family-Style Sharing: Fabio and his family encouraged us to embrace the Italian tradition of sharing. They suggested a selection of dishes that allowed us to savor a variety of flavors. This communal approach to dining made our experience all the more special. Mouthwatering Delicacies: The deli's selection of authentic Italian delicacies, from cured meats and cheeses to olives and antipasti, was a treat for the senses. These delectable items were a perfect complement to our meal and added a true taste of Italy to our experience. Generous Hospitality: Fabio and his family's hospitality extended beyond the food. They shared stories, recommendations, and even a complimentary Limoncello to conclude our meal. It was a gesture that encapsulated the essence of their commitment to creating a memorable dining experience. A Taste of Italy in Hermanus: Dal Italia Deli is not just a restaurant; it's a journey to Italy, guided by the warmth and authenticity of Fabio and his family. Whether you're seeking a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a taste of Italy in Hermanus, this deli is the place to be. Final Verdict: Dal Italia Deli in Hermanus is a culinary gem that offers not just exquisite Italian cuisine but also a heartfelt connection to the culture and warmth of Italy. Fabio and his family have created a dining experience that goes beyond food; it's a celebration of family, tradition, and the love of sharing good food with loved ones. My visit left me not just with a satisfied appetite but also with cherished memories of an Italian experience in the heart of Hermanus. Thank you Fabio, Claudio, Carmen and always smiling Armen

    The most incredible food you can find in Hermanus! Made with passion and the best ingredients and always warm and friendly service. Could not recommend enough!

    I was told that this was the best food I'd eat in Hermanus.. And you know what, it probably was up there... Top 5 but definitely not THE BEST! We started out with some cheese tortellini with mushrooms in a truffle sauce. Hands down the best dish of the night. We then shared an asparagus panzerotti with a creamy pea sauce. Also good, but didn't quite get the asparagus. There were a variety of typical Italian dishes like Osso Bucco, chicken saltimbocca and Porchetta. We opted to share the Porchetta as nothing else really appealed. It was okay. The crackling was burnt to a cinder and the meat was a bit dry. Gnocchi were lovely and veg were rather bland and uninteresting. The Amaretto chocolate mousse for dessert wasn't great at all. Tasted more like a butter cream icing you'd expect to find sandwiched between two layers of cake. I want my mousse light n fluffy n airy. This wasn't it and left my mouth coated in an oily aftertaste. There's a decent selection of imported Italian wines but expect to pay some serious cash for them. We opted for a local Sangiovese from Idiom wines which was perfect and a bottle I'd happily drink again. If you've never been to Dal Italia you definitely need to make a visit. The deli is choc full of Italy's finest. Bring a wad of cash or your platinum Amex. You'll need it. We'll come back again for lunch sometime. Some pasta or a sandwich from the deli. The quest for excellent food in Hermanus continues... It wasn't here.

    Great place to sit down for an authentic, flavoursome meal or a quick pop-in to grab some charcuterie, cheese and other Italian delicacies. Owners were great too and worthy of your support.

    Just the place to go to for a quick visit to Italy. Real Italian radio station playing, attentive hosts, scrumptious italian meals and an vast array of deli products to die for all makes it worth many visits.

    Phenomenal and classic Italian cuisine. Looking forward to a return.

    Have visited twice to both shop and eat. Enjoyed the very authentic Italian atmosphere, friendliness, vibe along with the most comprehensive stock of pantry and deli items this side of Italy. You ask for it they have it. This is not just a shopping trip but rather a trip to Italy where you shop and chat. Talk about food all whilst enjoying an oh so tasty lunch with a glass of wine followed by a double espresso. You eventually leave having made new friends and having enjoyed a few precious hours with an Italian family .......... the type of shopping excursion one can usually only have in Italy BUT also now in our Hermanus. Do yourself a favour and pop in even if it's just for a coffee.

    Amazing food, great service. Definitely a hidden gem. We had the Gorgonzola Salsiccia and the Veal Panzerotti with creamy burnt butter sage sauce - absolutely delicious.

    Such a cute authentic Italian delicatessen! They were playing an Italian radio station while we were there. The selection of products are wonderful to choose from. Lots of cheeses, hams and all the biscotti you could need. You can sit down and enjoy a meal there aswell. Highly recommend coming here if you’d like a taste of Italy while you’re in the Cape 🇮🇹

    What a gem in the heart of Hermanus. You can buy real veal and all other things Italian. The pasta is home-made and an elderly Italian couple came in to buy one of the deli's freshly prepared sauces...if Mama thinks it is good enough, you can be sure it is. There is a courtyard or you can sit at one of the pavement tables. If it weren't for the CEM and CA number plates, you could have been in Rome.
