La Romantica captures the essence of the Italian lifestyle - colourful and flavour-filled. Our comprehensive menu combines the best of Italy with the best of South Africa and pairs beautifully with Meerendal's selection of fine South African estate wines. Our restaurant is inspired by a home cooked feeling, where the kitchen is the heart of all South African homes. A space in which everyone feels part of the family.

    Breakfast was enjoyable. Only downside was that one of our party only received his meal when half of us had already finished eating

    We went for date night. Only thing I could really make a suggestion on is that you get heaters and adjust the lights aren’t so bright.

    Our food was good and tasty, however we were disappointed in the menu. We are missing some the unique dishes that used to be on the La Romantica menu. Plus the menu looks like all the rest. Our waiter Blake was very good and helpful.

    It was our 2nd visit and although the venue was nice and ambience. We were not happy with the state of the food particularly the seafood and chicken burgers. The manager also said he values our feedback and took of R160 of our bill which was far little in comparison to the costs of the 4X seafood platters. Considering that we were such a large table we expected more but understand there couldnt be more leniency. Our waiter tried his best but we would advise give him more training, as he seemed confused most of the times and we had to repeat or follow-up on several items ordered. We enjoyed the time with our friends and family in terms of their company but will not return here again as the state of the food was not up to par.

    We had an amazing evening filled with delicious food, lekker vibes, and plenty of laughs. What truly made the night special was the warm, friendly, and attentive service. A big shoutout to the Manager, whose personal touch and quirky sense of humour really elevated the experience. It felt genuine and welcoming — something you don’t find everywhere. You’ve definitely won us over, and we’ll be back soon!

    Food was bland The chili sauce “exploded over my colleague” causing eye damage and clothing/apparel soiling Staff and management were clueless how to handle this potentially dangerous situation!

    The Date night special is great value and the food is great, but the experience is brought down by the service and desserts. I was brought my starter, then we waited an hour for my partner's starter (pizza balls) to arrive by which time the mains had already arrived and had to be sent back. Our waiter was nowhere to be seen and was surprised when I told him the mains arrived before one of the starters. We sent our desserts back to the kitchen. The Malva was cold and underbaked. The creme brulee was overbaked and had the consistency of cheesecake.
