If you are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant, look no further than Magica Roma. Situated in Pinelands, there is limited parking close by. But the walk from your car will be worth it. Last November we had to collect the kids from the airport. Their flight was due to land just before 22h00 and I decided a meal out beforehand would be perfect. I was already in Cape Town so Dave drove through and met me. We invited Eric and Bev to come along so we could catch up after our overseas trip. Magica Roma was ideally situated for our trip to the airport. It offers proper Italian food, in a setting much like you would find in Italy. The bathroom is through the kitchen and the tables are so close together you are part of each others’ conversations. The lighting is not bright and the acoustics are not great. But, the meals we have had there have always been excellent.
Quality Italian hospitality, atmosphere and most importantly food.

I booked a table here for my anniversary. We we greeted with enthusiasm and seated in the "special section" at the back where the chef continuously came around to talk to us, suggest dishes and make sure everything was ok. What was most interesting to me was the chef's willingness to redesign his dishes to suit your taste buds! He said that he has modified countless dishes depending on what his customers like and he has even made up dishes which he cannot remember or replicate. I thought this may be a bit risky since I did not know what I felt like but I knew I wanted it to be traditional and simple. I opted for the risotto ravioli (which was called something else on the menu), my partner had the lamb. His was not as tasty as the vegetarian option unfortunately but I thoroughly enjoyed mine with cream sauce. The snail starters were very good and as was the tiramisu which I ordered for dessert (it had a lot of coffee and liquor in it but is made by the kitchen.) We ordered a beautiful red blend which complimented the food.
I really liked the surprise of the sparkler at the end, it ended the evening off well and was the cherry on top!
I will be back again for pasta and pizza! Cannot wait!
