Bella Valle Ristorante in Plettenberg Bay

"We had such a wonderful time here with friends! The atmosphere was warm and cozy, with the rustic wooden interior making it feel welcoming and relaxed. The food was absolutely delicious! we tried the pizza, pasta, and a creamy mushroom pasta, and each dish was perfectly prepared. It was just the perfect spot to sit down, share a meal, and enjoy each other’s company. The setting, combined with the great food and the laughs we shared, made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for good food and a lovely environment to enjoy with friends!"

"After getting denied at Emily Moon, we stumbled upon this place and turned out to be a blessing in disguise! A beautiful and cozy place sitting right infront of the mountain valley, setting such a wonderful environment especially during sunset. We got a pasta and woodfire pizza which were very delicious. The staff + owner were so warm and welcoming that just made the night perfect. A great dinner before we head back to singapore in a couple of days, thank you to Bella Valle and would highly recommend to everyone!"

"We almost thought it was closed at first (off-season), but what a delightful surprise when we stepped inside! The atmosphere was warm and cozy, with a fire lit that made the whole space feel inviting. The staff greeted us like old friends, made us feel instantly at home, and even recommended some amazing choices. I thoroughly enjoyed my cocktail, the pizza was absolutely delicious, and we still managed to save space for dessert—which was worth it! What makes Bella Valley Ristorante stand out is that it’s not just about the food. The family-friendly vibe is wonderful—outside there’s a playground, and we had a blast with the hula hoop! It’s the perfect family restaurant: excellent food, heartfelt hospitality, and a relaxed, welcoming energy. We’ll definitely be back again and again."

"Very good food. We ate twice there, one time Arabiata Pasta and one time Steak. Both was perfect. Didn't eat better while we stayed in South Africa. Service was super friendly."

"We were a bit skeptical about visiting after reading the mixed reviews, but we were really in the mood for pasta, so we decided to give it a try — and we were pleasantly surprised. The pizza was delicious: thin, crispy, and full of flavour. We chose the Napoli, with olives, capers, and anchovies, and it was so good. We also had a lovely, saucy pasta that really hit the spot. The service was good overall. Our waiter was very attentive — possibly quite new and could use a bit more coaching — but he was genuinely eager to please. The owner also made a noticeable effort to check in and ensure we were happy, which we appreciated. The setting is rustic, but it works for them, and the drinks were all good too. All in all, a strong 3.5 out of 5, and definitely heading towards a 4. We’d happily go back."

"This is a rustic restaurant and so the stars reflect the fact . The food is simple but excellent and the staff are just lovely . If you want a fancy meal out this is not the place , but if you want honest food and good people look no further ."

"Our last night in Plett and people on the beach said the restaurant had re-opened and “ZOE” was back - and we must go. It was glorious! A lovely rural setting. So chilled, great music and vibe! Our waiter - Esetu - was charming and attentive. We all had pizza - delish (thin base thank goodness) Also fabulous for kids . A must do when in Plett. Zoe was great, attentive and we will definitely be back! Thank you!"

"We loved the thin based authentic pizza from Bella Valle. We ordered as a take away and the telephonic assistance from Zoe was warmly engaging and so helpful. On arrival to collect the pizza , we discovered a rustic, eclectic restaurant with a wood fired pizza oven. Delicious pizza! Will definitely visit again when in Plett"
