    Rossi’s is probably the best value for money restaurant you’ll find anywhere in Hermanus. The food is truly excellent - the seafood pasta has generous amounts of seafood (not always the case) and is definitely worth trying! To say that the portion sizes are generous would be about as big an understatement as saying Bill Gates is rich. They are huge! Both my partner and I battled to finish our portions. Pricing wise - we were blown away - Rossi’s was incredibly reasonable given the quality and quantity of what we received! The service was a little slow but it was clear that the kitchen were handling a huge amount of takeaway orders and they were scrambling to get everything covered while extremely busy. I can completely understand why they would be too! If you’re in the mood for Italian in Hermanus then this should be top of your list! We’ll be back for sure!

    There’s a reason why we can’t get enough of this place. This has been our go to in Hermanus for a quick lunch for a while and they never disappoint. The pizzas are amazing with a crispy thin crust and the service quick and friendly.

    Very friendly and accommodating staff. The pizza was delicious. They are generous with the toppings. I personally like it a bit more saucy but still good. I highly recommend the calzone it was the best thing we ordered. The seafood pasta is authentic using Basic good quality marinara, but nothing special. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake was amazing. The malva pudding wasn't my favorite because their version had orange in the cake. The creme brulee was a complete fail. It wasn't creamy at all and was like scrambled eggs.

    This restaurant is absolutely amazing! They have a big variety of Italian food - antipasti, pasta, pizza, mains which are cooked in the wood fired oven 🔥 Many vegetarians and vegan options 🍀 They have gluten free pasta and gluten free pizza base which is made of coconut flour. The food is absolutely delicious! The must visit place in Hermanus. Looking forward to coming back here soon ❤️❤️❤️

    The Margarita Pizza was so great. Very few Italian restaurants in South Africa can do a Margarita Pizza as well as they do. Thank you to Sam, who offered to help me with a table late at night, and Monique for the great service.

    The chicken livers were Devine. We had the SMOG pizza and it was delicious. We'll worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Eric H. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, and generous portions. I had the chicken liver fettuccine for a starter and it was enormous. The main of scallopini had generous portions of meat, and a lot of well cooked vegetables of all varieties. My wife's calamari starter was also delicious and a good size. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. It has a convivial atmosphere, though it did get a little noisy at times- but not surprising considering how busy it was.

    Brilliant. Awesome pizza. Friendly service. Very well priced. We did not have a booking but in stead of showing us away, gave us a table and we finished before table was needed! Very well done! Will be back for sure - as many people do!

    BEST pizza in Town, the Rossi name is a big name to hold up, and this restaurant sure does just that! Order a bottle of wine, eat some livers, have a pizza, and get some desert.... you will talk about this place months after you've been there.

  • 5/5 Stuart B. 9 months ago on Google
    A real gem, authentic freshly prepared Italian food. The Lasagne was like my mum's, packed with meat, cheese and tomatoes. Very good value. The waitress was friendly and fun too. You can even bring pets and sit outside.

    We had such a chilled day there. It's really like the number one pizza I've had in a while. Thank you so much. Cheers and will be seeing you again soonest

    Excellent italian cuisine. Great food, recommended. Plates come super quick and hot, which is a great thing.

  • 2/5 Tracey H. 1 year ago on Google
    Ill start with the positive Service was good Food arrived quickly Disappointed by the pizza quality to be honest. Tried the margarita and it just was crispy,dry and just a let down. I think they pre cook the base when i walked past the oven they had a few logs of wood in it. Definitely not hot enough to cook the pizza properly.

    We were very pleased while on holiday we could enjoy a Banting Pizza at Rossi's. Even on a Sunday evening, their toppings and ingredients were very very fresh, food and service great!! Rossi's will be a regular pit stop! Great pizzas guys!!!

    This restaurant has the potential to be so much more. However, their inability to cope during peak season is evident in their food and service. We waited close on 1hr30mins for our food and even then it came out in stages. The pizzas are good, but attention to the timing of pizza making vs other menu items for the same table needs improvement. I can’t comment on service during the off season.

  • 5/5 Jennifer N. 2 years ago on Google
    Rossi’s is a firm favourite every time we visit Hermanus. The food is always great, the wine good, the service excellent and the fact that it run by attentive owners makes it so much more personal. It’s like coming home. Also great value for money.

  • 5/5 John M. 2 years ago on Google
    South African pizza is typically thin crust, and this was a great example of it being done well. Toppings were generous, the base tasty with great structure, and there wasn’t too much cheese. We had takeaway, and the service when picking up was really friendly. Even better was we were given small pots of fresh garlic, chilli and some salad dressing to add to our pizza and salad. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely go back next time we’re in Hermanus.
