Nice for a quick coffee or breakfast. fun to sit outside and watch Cape Town pass you by. Easy take-away dinners are healthy and affordable.

What a blessing. Stayed at Stadium Guest House round the corner from this great establishment. To sit outside under cover, choosing your desired foods to get you going in the morning to winding down a busy day of hustling in Cape Town. Giovanni's is the best choice for food and atmosphere you could ask for at any given time. No... More

I always loved the place, it is friendly, has a buzz and fit beautifully in the centre of Town. The food whether you eat there or Take Away, is always good quality and the standard of the quality remains the same. A gem of a place

This is a great deli and I love it for a quick coffee and meal. The food is home cooked and you choose from the deli counter. Its very intimate and friendly but has a very small sitting area. Seating is on high chairs, so the elderly can forget it. If they could extend the size of the place it... More

This is an excellent deli that was close to our hotel. They had it all from fresh baked breads to Fresh Salads and everything in between. They were always busy.

Coffee was good and they have prepared foods so a good selection. Prices are reasonable for SA. Small place and on a busy street. Would probably be cautious walking around.

The smell as you walk in is enough to make you hungry! Always bustling with people, great coffee and wonderful deli section. Also good ready cooked meals, bread, lots of imported treats. Love it!

We read the great reviews but it turns out this is a grocery store. The reheated meals are ok but the coffee is poor. The staff have been around a bit long it seems.
