Handmade Pasta

We make our pasta in-house, so that it’s fresh for you when you come eat with us! We also specialize in risotto! Some of our most famous dishes are:

  • Slow-cooked lamb ragu
  • Ricotta gnocchi with burrata and fresh mushrooms
  • Seafood Risotto

Gluten-free also available

Woodfired pizza

Our thin-base pizza is hand-thrown and then baked in a wood fire right inside our resturant in Cape Town. We try to keep the ingredients simple, but don’t shy away from daring flavour combinations. We’re sure you’ll find something you’ll like. Some of the crowd favourite pizzas are:

  • The Woodlands – Slow-cooked lamb and topped with creme fraiche
  • Dolce Vita – Burrata with mushrooms, truffle oil and thyme
  • Calabrese – Nduja, roasted cherry tomatoes, burrata and sweet basil

Gluten-free also available

Slow-cooked Karoo Lamb

Our signature dish!

We take karoo lamb and slow cook it over night in a tomato-based sauce inside our pizza oven. The result is a tender, rich lamb ragu that we use on various pizzas and pastas. When ordered as a pasta, this dish is served in a copper pan that was passed onto us from our Nonna (true story – she used to cook everything in it!). Try our lamb as:

  • Pappardelle al ragu di agnello
  • The Woodlands pizza
  • Risotto all’ agnello

Italian & local wines

We enjoy close relationships with winemakers and farms from all around the Western Cape. Because of this we have a thorough wine-selection on offer, as well as pairings for each dish. We also have a small selection of imported wines and spirits from Italy

Not availalbe to under 18s.
