Nearly 30 years ago our vision was to build a “once off” cutting-edge Designer Restaurant that told a story about our passion and love for what we do.
Originally, we commissioned world-renowned Architect and friend Stefan Antoni. After travelling with Stefan to Italy, he created an architectural masterpiece that encompassed Ian’s vision, which was his dream.
Caffe Balducci was the recipient of the prestigious PG Bison Award for Design Excellence.
The restaurant won several awards for its design and was built in solid cherry wood, and was described all over the world as “Understated European Elegance.”
Balducci has a simple philosophy: to provide a memorable experience by redefining the essence of good home-cooked food and continually upping the standards with its slick, understated European elegance, stunning views and gracious service in our trendy yet stylish environment.
At a later stage our world-class Asian Section was added.
The emphasis is on providing good quality food that is simple, fresh, filled with passion and served in style.
We love what we do and are so excited to welcome you back home to Sea Point!
