I can't be arsed to search this thread to see if I already mentioned it, but those of you in the godforsaken north of Cape Town should try
Vesuvius.
It is Gauteng "Italian" styled, and at the Tygerburg waterfront, and everything is wrong with it... except it makes incredibly good pizza. I was told about it from an Italian woman from Naples, the home of pizza, and she told me it was the best pizza in Cape Town.
I took my wife there on a date. It was.
Second prize to Burrata at the Old Biscuit Mill, for us Southern Suburbs snobs.
Both worth a visit.
* seems Burrata has closed, sad news.
