It’s more like a 3.5 and 4 adjusted for the location.We got a recommendation on this place by locals and also saw the high reviews and decided to come in without a reservation.The staff were very nice and the owner promised to find us a table, which essentially happened faster than he said.The deco is a bit weird, along with the seating and the fact that the waitrons kept on moving chairs inside and outside and breaking off tables.We just wanted a light meal and found that the wine selection was pretty arrow and disappointing. We ordered a pizza, since the restaurant smelled like it and it was a big part of the menu, but were very disappointed by the crust, which was extremely thin (not in a nice way).They do serve chilly, fresh garlic and Parmesan with every pizza.We also had an Italian salad which was fresh, but nothing special here.Carrot cake for a dessert - lacked icing but it was ok overall.The place was packed with locals and maybe this is the best Italian place around, but I can’t say that.

This is one of the best spots for really good Italian food,I highly recommend their Pizza's and their ice coffees,best in town.My favourite Pizza place,support these locals because they produce nothing but the best and that includes service's.

Very happy we decided to eat here. The smells coming from the food around us was so delicious and we were not disappointed when we got our pizza, even split it as we were sharing. The base was thin and crispy (which for gluten-free can be very tricky) and the toppings were amazing. The meals come with garlic, chillies and parmesan. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere was great.Went back the following day for more. And a third time during our 5 day stay in Knysna.

What a wonderful place - we just went for dinner and it was delicious. Fantastic Pizza and such a wonderful and warm staff! The authentic atmosphere is on top. We felt like home (we are half part Italian and half Swiss;-) Thank you for a great evening!

Cafe Mario's is consistently good, with very friendly staff along with a relaxed and informal atmosphere. They have been making great tasting Italian grub for decades now.However, when it is season and half of South Africa decend on the small town of Knysna, be prepared to wait at least an hour for your food. It is just too busy.My advice would be to book a table for after 20h00 (Assuming you are going for dinner), things will have settled down and you won't wait so long for your delicious pizza!Great work Gennaro!

Wonderful service! We called in our order in advance. They waited for us at the door and as soon as they saw us they started taking our food to the table. It was awesome. I had the cheesecake for pudding which was really nice. Tasted authentic. They didn't have any cocktails on the menu though... I think that might be a nice addition but their food is fantastic and really well priced. Proper Italian cuisine.

A lovely little Cafè situated near the Quay’s in Knysna.It is constantly buzzing with happy customers as well as upbeat energetic waiters tending to our every need.The food was seriously yummy and came in generous portions.We got to watch a beautiful sunset while eat a scrumptious meal.It really is worth a visit if you are in Knysna.
