The Old Town Italy restaurant is at the heart of the store where friends, business colleagues, family and people passing through stop to take it all in. The restaurant is a show case of our values, service and belief in authentic Italian food. There is a constant flow in this area where you can grab a quick coffee or linger for a fresh breakfast, lunch or dinner. Here is where you truly experience the feeling of Old Town with a sense of returning to old school methods, artisanal cooking and good service.

The Old Town Italy cafe undertakes to serve the freshest premium-quality foods in as ethical a manner as possible. Our cafe also represents a movement back to “real food”.

Our menu is authentically Italian, yet flexible enough to stay up to date with the latest health trends and food movements. We focus on Italian products, but also source local products that align with our food philosophy. No GMO products are allowed in our store.

From authentic Italian dishes, to cuts from our butchery, grill section. fresh salads, to panini / piadina and hand-stretched Neapolitan pizza with real mozzarella.

    Tks for the opportunity to provide feedback. Was my wife's birthday and booking was easy, informative, was advised that it was Bingo night and could be a bit loud. Table service was very good, informed waiteress that we where vegetarian, ordered the Fungi tagliatelle pasta and Magerita pizza. Pasta was authentic and fresh. Pizza however was very dissapointing, I assumed we where getting a Napolitana base, fluffy, airy crisp crust but rather tough chewy crust with thin tough chewy base, had difficulty cutting with utensils provided. Had enquired with a waitress if this was normal as to get a better understanding of the dough prep. Also enquired abt the cheese used which i was informed was a combination of mozzarella and another which I assumed was Campana, which did not present itself as patchy white toppings rather a yellow brown melted topping dressed with olive oil. The sauce had a distinct sour after taste which upon paying my bill advised the waitress to inform the pizza chef. Honestly, great place and service just wished we had never ordered the pizza.
