About
Chatters is most famous for thin-n-crispy, made-to-order pizzas and friendly service, with a great wine-list and fully stocked bar. Chatters is owner-run, with a small team of staff and sometimes family members too. Enjoy sitting in the large spacious garden during summer, or take a table inside by our wood-burning fireplace on chilly Winter evenings. Don't forget to save space for some yummy dessert all home-made by Clare...or you can take home something from our retail range of home-made ice-cream. Don't feel like eating out? We also offer take-away or delivery options too.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the best restaurant i have been in south Africa, its an Italian cuisine with exquisite taste and amazing service and great owners with amazing professional services. The location is good, atmosphere is very cozy and food is unbelievably delicious, we ordered the barie, with three pizzas the alexandar ( best pizza ), the papayyas and mexican. Also we ordered the pasta pesto penne which was very good. For desert we ordered ice cream and yougart baked greek as we do not eat food with alcohol in it. Just an amazing experience.

We visited the restaurant on 3 occasions over the two days that we stayed in Kysner. Our first visit was an evening meal where we selected two pizzas from the extensive range .we chose the large options and they were covered all the way to the outside of the base . The chicken and avocado option was especially delicious . The second visit was the following lunchtime and we were welcomed again like old friends by the owner who remembered our drinks options and we ordered a chicken pesto dish and spaghetti bolognaise with a Greek salad , again absolutely delicious and plentiful . On this occasion we decided to sample the range of home made ice creams which were sumptuous . We were so impressed with the food and the friendly atmosphere that we returned again that evening for our last meal and selected two more pizzas from the range of approx 20 . Again these were really delicious. All in all we felt that even after just a few visits we had found a favourite eating place where all the staff were lovely and friendly and the food was fabulous One key factor in the restaurant operation was that the owners donate a percentage of each meal to a local charity which I personally thought was a very generous an community spirited action

Most delicious Pizzas, Pasta and focaccia bread. We were served with utmost care. Claire, the owner, took personal care of our special dietary requirements. We are strict vegetarians and we do not eat onions and garlic. Claire ensured that our pizzas, focaccia and pasta were made exactly as per our strict requirements. The restaurant was extremely busy, yet Claire took out to see to our needs. Rob, her husband was equally friendly. The ambiance is very good. When in Knysna, a visit to Chatters is a must.

Nice restaurant which is located on a corner and has a spacious and attractive terrace. It's actually more Italian than Bistro, and the lion's share of people order Pizza there. We had ordered Pasta which was perhaps not the best choice, but that aside. It was strange that we had to pay extra for some extra Parmesan crumbs (mini tray ).

We ate here twice, during our 7 day stay in Knysna. That, in spite of an abundance of restaurants to choose from. I had a regina pizza, with some additional toppings. While my wife had a gluten fee, anti-allergy pasta dish. Both were delicious. The owner went the extra mile to assist my wife with her food intolerances. They were even prepared to prepare a gluten free pizza separately, to prevent gluten contact. I thought that was very special, and professional. The waiters; not just the one that served us, but all of them; are extremely friendly and, it seems, very well trained. It was the one place I could find in Knysna (I am sure there are others) that served the local Knysna craft beer called 'Red Bridge'. That too was particularly tasty, and refreshing.

The pizzas were loaded with toppings and tasted delicious. The menu was very extensive and seemed to be able to cater for most diets. I'd definitely return and would love to try the desserts next time - they looked fabulous! Finally, a special mention to the staff who were very friendly.

We enjoyed the delicious pizza with a crispy thin dough. Good friendly service, top cafe and fine deserts as well. Perfect and even better as in many restaurants in Italy.

Went here between Christmas and New Year and we were lucky to get a table - my first tip would be to book a table - particularly if you are a large group. The service was exceptional, the food was the best - my pizza was perfectly cooked and had quality toppings. Beyond the food, the great service there is also a wonderful wine selection and if you bring this all together into a place with a really good atmosphere then it makes for a very good experience.

It has been 4 years since I visited Chatters and it was a bit of a shock to see the effects of Covid regulations on their business. Knysna was very quiet and tourism has been the worst affected. Anyway, the food and service was outstanding, even in these trying times. I was particularly impressed with the attention to Covid safety; not taken seriously enough in other restaurants, I am afraid. Tables have been removed to provide the minimum social distance and temperatures and phone numbers meticulously taken. It seems that they have established a strong take-away business over the past 15 months with free delivery under 4 kms. Good for them!

Unfortunately, the quality didn't convince us. The lasagne was not typically Italian and tasteless. The Caesar salad was unfortunately not a Caesar salad. Just green leaves and a few hard bacon strips. No onions, no anchovies. Typical tourist restaurant for the ignorant. We can't recommend it!

This family-owned pizzeria sits just 200 metres from Knysna’s Waterfront. The service is friendly and the food is always excellent. We keep on returning there and love it’s relaxed casual atmosphere. Closed Sundays & Mondays. Best to book in advance.

This is a very casual restaurant with outside seating which is great for warm evenings. I can only judge the food by the Pizza we had, which was very good, if the other food was this good then I can highly recommend this for a quick and casual evening meal. Staff were very attentive and the background music suited my tastes (60's -70's) nice for us old gits!

We chose Chatters as we visited last year and loved it đź‘Ťunfortunately our pasta on this visit was slightly disappointing. 2 of the 3 of us chose the penne with anchovies but when it arrived it was like warm. The waitress said she would fix it and when it was brought back it was hotter but more chewy. We both ate it but it was not the same. Our third person had the carbonara which was hot but the sauce was rather runny. All in all not the best meal we have had there perhaps we should have stuck to the pizzas

We were lucky to get a table for 4 during their busy dinner service. Their extensive pizza selection made it hard to choose but in the end the food was delicious, service was attentive and great value too. We will definitely make a point of returning next time we’re in Knysna!

From the moment we walked through the gate we were met with a big smile by an elderly lady who owns the business and even though we didn't book. She still found a shady table for us because my grandfather Rob ditd not want to get burnt on his head as he is bald. I must say Lance our waiter was an absolute delight as he put a smile on all our faces including our son Keith who was having a tantrum. And the food was fast and fantastic as well as properly toped with ingredients. I would like to say its the best pizza in South Africa and the staff made us feel at home Highly recommended you try it out
