“ Rustic surfer-den style space serving Italian dishes. Large food portions fairly priced. Superb service. Buzzing evening atmosphere. Food: Oven thin based pizzas are the specialties. Wide of variety of options with Half&Half single pizza option available. Decent selection of wines on offer. Cutlery: Good quality utensils given. Well presented with fresh green chilli and garlic condiments provided. Service: Some of the best service experienced in Kalk Bay. Staff are prompt. Multiple waiters serve you and clean up the table as soon as you’re done with any dish. Atmosphere: Sufficient ambient light. Not too dark, but dim enough for a warm candle light dinner. Great for dates, couple dates and 6 or 8 pack gatherings. The space doesn’t shout out Italian Restaurant upon entry but after reviewing the menu and seeing the wall art you start to pick up the Italian flair. It’s not your typical Italian style restaurant, but it gets the primary objective right - the food. Bellisima. ”

Whether it’s a chilly winter evening or a balmy summer night, Satori is the perfect dinner spot. There’s nothing better than taking a slow stroll along the Kalk Bay promenade and then sitting down here for the most comforting, heart-warming meal. Truly a gem that never loses its magic. ”
