Every neighbourhood needs a cozy Italian restaurant. It should serve large bowls of steaming pasta and crispy pizzas fresh from a wood-fired oven. It should have plenty of Italian regalia like Ferrari flags, Serie A posters and old framed photographs of soccer teams on its walls. Table clothes should be chequered and plenty of staff should appear to be Italian. There should be a Vespa parked out front. And it should be buzzing during major soccer games. But on all other nights it should also be busy too. The atmosphere should always be completely unpretentious. In shorts & slops or collar & tie, you should feel at home and at ease.
This is Bacini’s. You won’t find the best pasta in Cape Town here, or the thinnest pizza crust. You won’t find a great wine list or unbelievable service. But you will find a reliably comforting spot to grab a bite and enjoy a decent bottle of red. Or you can pop in for takeout pizza and enjoy a draft Peroni at the bar. Grab a seat on the outside terrace if you can and enjoy the sunset. The staff are friendly and the vibe relaxed. Like I say, it’s not the best Italian restaurant in Cape Town, but it’s easy. And sometimes that’s all you want.
Bacini’s. 177 Kloof Street. 021 423 6668.
Well said. I loved the place, but the food was niiice, like Mrs Smith down the road. But for a little Tifosi action, its awesome.
Thank you kindly for your words.
