Sale E Pepe Da Giovanni

Food was amazing, and portion sizes are great. Two pastas are more than enough for three hungry people. Clean and aesthetically pleasing restaurant. The bathroom facilities are a bit small and kind of in a corner.

The best pasta in town, great service and a great lunch spot! Good menu and great food selection! True Italian! Wine selection is a little depleted but the food is world class! Great chef!

I love this place. Hidden away in a small shopping centre you will find the Best pasta in Joburg. Their pizzas are also good. Big portions. One of the best Italian restaurants in Joburg.

Sale e Pepe da Giovanni (said in a passionate Italian voice).<br/ <br/ For starters, we ordered a half portion of Chicken Livers (with Chili) to share, not the best Chicken Livers in town, but decent. First of all, this is definitely not the size of a normal starter portion, as this was the first time we had to ask for a takeaway for our starters as we were afraid we would get too full to enjoy any of the other dishes. Secondly, we are still looking for the Chili in the dish, that they emphasised on the menu. The dish of the day was the Capricciosa Pizza that was topped with salami, mushrooms, olives, mozzarella, and lotsa lotsa garlic. Can easily go back for more of that delicious thin and crispy pizza, that is if our co workers don 't mind the garlic breath! Also, the Linguine Scampi Pasta with fresh tomato, herbs, cream and baby prawns was a top notch dish enough for us and our neighbours, these portions are huge. And we topped off our evening with a sweet caramel Italian Kiss lollipop, which was a 'right.<br/ <br/ The waiter gave a few great suggestions on which dishes to choose from, which gave him some brownie points. He was friendly but often hard to find him which is odd seeing that it is a relatively small restaurant.<br/ <br/ A really intimate Italian Eatery, with tables really close to each other and dimmed lights, give this place a warm and snuggly feeling. It was a bit strange that the first thing we noticed was that they didn 't play any music but with the buzzing of the people around, it didn’t bother us too much, might make you feel lonely when the place is empty though.<br/ <br/ Okay, next thing we have to talk about is the value. You should know that you are going to pay around R120 and R180 for a pasta and under R130 for a pizza. But to be honest the portions are massive and one dish can easily be split into two full dishes. So all in all, the value isn’t too bad for what you get in return.<br/ <br/ TTT recommends you go there on a cold and rainy night.<br/ <br/ TTT’s rating out of 5: Food 4 Service 3 Atmosphere – 4 Value – 4<br/ <br/ Sale e Pepe da Giovanni gets a 'Good on Ye ' from Two Tasty Tummies

Love coming to Sale e Pepe. <br/ The portions are huge, the quality is incredible and the flavors are amazing. <br/ One of the best, if not the best Italian food restaurants in Joburg. You come here for the outstanding food and the service from the super friendly waiters. If you’re going to moan about not being able to book and the “rude” manager than rather don’t go, just know that you’re missing out. <br/ <br/ We went in a group and shared the dishes we ordered. <br/ We had the Penne all’s Giovanni, Linguine Vongole, risotto ai fungi neri, risotto ai frutti Di mare and fish(I can’t for the life of me remember which) <br/ <br/ Honestly worth a visit, and just remember you can’t book.
