Ferdinando's Pizza - Cape Town

Stopped in at Ferdinando's to grab supper on our way back to Stellenbosch last night. We had no idea what to expect, and immediately in walking in, we were met with a cozy, eclectic little place and a vibrant, friendly, and welcoming hostess who was more than happy to cater to my mom with Celiac disease (no gluten). To start with, we had some seriously delicious virgin pina coladas and a mojito no skimping on the coconut milk here! The complimentary bread sticks were served with a creamy garlic sauce and very tasty! My mom and I ordered the Fungetta to share (on the gluten free base), my fiancé had the Cacciatore, and my sister had the feta and spinach ravioli. When our food arrived, the hostess told us all about how the chef had especially held the gluten free pizza away from any contamination risks (for a celiac disease sufferer, this is music to one's ears, and makes one feel incredibly valued). And what absolutely, perfectly yummy food! There is something wholesome and homemade about Ferdinando's dishes, and it really stands out. I wish I'd had a whole pizza to eat If I'm in the area again, I will absolutely be returning!

This restaurant offers absolutely amazing pizza, undoubtedly the best in Cape Town and South Africa! While waiting for my meal, I had a great chat with Diego and Kimone, who are fantastic hosts and the owners. I couldn't resist ordering the burrata after seeing Diego's excitement over these beautiful balls of mozzarella. The burrata was presented like poached eggs, and when I cut into it, it oozed a delicious buttery cream. A must-have when available! The pizza was equally fantastic, made with doppio zero flour and carefully handcrafted. I was impressed to learn that the outside crust is dusted with a second type of flour to get it just right. What was supposed to be a quick pizza turned into a 3-hour culinary extravaganza. Kudos to Kimone and Diego for their excellent food and service. The staff were just as amazing as the food, and despite dining alone, I felt like I was in great company. In fact, I am writing this review while still at the restaurant!

Absolute pleasure! great food, incredible vibe, cosy and fun atmosphere and just the coolest staff members. there's something really special happening at ferdinando's pizza. will defs visit there again, bringing more friends!
