We had breakfast here yesterday. Even tho they were down a chef it came out Quick. Love the history behind the restaurant and the cosy ambiance and fireplace. We could use our dine voucher And the staff were super friendly. We’ll be coming back for sure to try the dinner or lunch menu with my dad.

Great service. Got a laugh when we risked rain and sat outside. Young staff warned us, we and other groups got a bit wet. But all laughed. Staff were mortified. Can you guys get some kind of covered area there? Council restrictions? Otherwise staff concern was lovely.

We are locals and it has taken us a while to finally try this place out. We were there on Sunday night and it was packed. I now know why. Food was beautiful, service was quick and efficient. Loved it. We definitely will be back. Thank you guys for being in my area.

Overpriced for the quality of food given - I don’t think smoked salmon egg Benedict should serve in warm temp. The sour dough wasn’t fresh and crunchy at all. I gave three stars but not two is because of its ambience and convenient location next to car park.

Food, service and atmosphere always fantastic. We keep coming back as it's one of the best restaurants on the North Shore. I accidentally booked an a.m reservation instead of a p.m. and they were totally accommodating and we got our booking anyway, thanks!

We only had coffee this time. Our first visit. Really great service and very friendly. Coffee was delicious and we are quite particular. The decaf was also really good and that's often a tricky one to get right. Looking forward to doing dinner next time.

Great relaxed family atmosphere. Good size kids meals, and delicious pizzas. It was a bit warm sitting outside, but not uncomfortable, and surprisingly not very loud considering the proximity to Mona Vale Road. Will definitely be going back. Enjoy!

Food was great, and we’ve been coming to this restaurant for a numbers of years. However the service tonight was appalling. It took forever to get a wine list, our tables cleared up. And then to top it off “you didn’t want desert did you?”

Went for breakfast here with my family - there were 8 of us plus a pram and there was lots of space around the tables to manoeuvre. We booked online the night before (easy process) but there were free tables to walk-in. The fire was going

This is our second time at this restaurant. We came back to Karoo & Co. St. Ives because we had such a great meal and fantastic service the first time. Tonight, however, was a different story. Our food was enjoyable, but we had a waitress

Ate their last night and the pizzas were delicious, however it mus have been a seafood-free night because the "crab" linguine was missing an essential ingredient...crab! Although we did get plenty of garlic and 4 small tomatoes..Was also

Popped up myself after workout. Could be the manager, bar staff and the waitress were very attentive and nice. Meal is great value and portion. Overall very much enjoyed. Been here before with family, and it was nice too. Well done team.

St Ives have needed a family restaurant like this for so long. The menu is uncomplicated and the food is fresh and delicious. The space is rustic modern and frankly a clever renovation of what was. The service is amazing. They’ve hired

We had a wonderful experience at the Old School Trattoria on Friday night. The hosts were extremely accommodating and friendly. We were a large and very noisy group, strategically seated in the separate verandah area. The entire group

This restaurant has a great team in the kitchen making excellent food. And the space is very charming. Pity about the hopeless wait staff who spoil what should be a great experience. Multiple things got forgotten and had to be chased

Staff service and care were lacking. We waited 20 mins for a glass of wine, followed up were told it would be a minute... held off finishing our meal which got cold and then recieved wine with a slice to go. Not good enough. More

Had a dinner with kids. Nice place and Josh was very friendly and accommodating. Food looked and smelt so nice (and turned out to be very delicious as well) that we dug in before I've had a chance to take photos . …

They were very busy as Covid restrictions just relaxed but the staff coped under the added workload. Food and service were good. Room that we were seated in had some very noisy customers but I would be happy to go back.

Such a cosy ambience in this historic old school. We shared a bottle of French Champagne and their tapas style share plates. Absolutely delicious food and attentive staff. Can’t wait to return again for dinner.

Heard good things about this place through the local community and came in for dinner with expectations for at least an above average experience. Karoo delivered above my expectations, really well done.

We had our wedding anniversary dinner here with our kids and the food was lovely, although if you don't want pizza or pasta the options are limited. The stuffed zucchini flowers were great.

Nice niche place for pasta and pizza. Great atmosphere in the old school. Great staff and service. Disappointed that BYO is no longer available, eventhough it's still on their website.

First time dining here in the evening. What a lovely ambience. Really tasty Italian food (with a bit of a South African twist with a couple of its dishes. Will be back!

I had an average experience here. The pasta was alright but the presentation was sloppy. Their pizza tasted like supermarket cheese slapped onto cardboard dough.

Wonderful food, terrific atmosphere and top shelf customer service by the lovely Emma and dear Will! Make a booking, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing pizza - got the meatlovers and prawns takeaway - great dough and flavour! One of the best pizzas I’ve had in recent times! More

We get take away pizzas every couple of weeks and they are always excellent . Service is good, staff are really nice too More

Excellent vibe, service. Flavorful food. Hopefully paving the path for more such restaurants to open in this part of town.

Usually very happy with the meals here. The snapper this time tasted very fishy and the Ragu meat was quite chewy. More

Great local gem, friendly, homely, good food, great service. Great pizzas, will be coming often!
