"Very lovely market!! Will be there next year"

"Very well organised and great parking "

"What is the entrance fee for? I really would like small flags of Italy next time. But a very enjoyable experience on the whole. The stalls which offered free tastings should be applauded! Grazie!"

"Great festival and I enjoyed the free drinks and cannoli for dessert. It would have been helpful to have bigger and brighter signage to navigate one's way around the festival. I wish there were more condiments stalls and also more resources on other Italian cultural events/ communities in Cape Town. The pasta making class was also fun! Thanks for a wonderful time."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Fest! Very well curated. Great turnout. For a first attempt it was great and thank you for the efforts. For a next time, I suggest more food stands. I understand there is not much space to facilitate cooking, gas, cleaning and washing up. Would have been great to have a fat PASTA dish. Overall this was a lovely day, great weather, the wines and grappa were Top Shelf. Music was good and the little buskers were enjoyable. Thank you for the effort and great success with the next one, perhaps and additional street extension for more food. For all the winging "Karens" and keyboard warriors who shared their negative responses - perhaps your misery is everywhere you go! As, you take yourself with to every space, and you receive what you put out there! Please don't attend again! "
