Pasta Café – La Dolce Vita on the go

“There’s something almost magical about these delicate strings that very few are able to describe. A homemade bowl of pasta has the uncanny ability to evoke pure joy and comfort with a single bite, it instantly unites a dinner table, transcends borders and overcomes language barriers. It may just be the answer to world peace if you ask me,” laughs John, owner of the newly launched Pasta Café, South Africa’s first pasta-to-go restaurant based next to the Cape Royale Hotel and Spa in Greenpoint, Cape Town.

With an estimated 15 683 tons of pasta imported by South Africa per annum, it becomes evident that not even we can resist what is arguably the world’s most celebrated comfort food. While quintessentially Italian, the early history of pasta is not believed to have begun in the country of La Dolce Vita. Instead, it dates back to as early as 1700 – 1100 BC in the Shang dynasty of China where some form of noodles are known to have existed. As early as the 4th century BC, however, the legend of pasta shifted to Italy where it has remained ever since.

With a menu initially consisting of 20 dishes, Pasta Café offers busy Capetonians an authentically Italian experience on the go. “Our tagline is Just like my Nonna’s and, to live up to every Italian grandmother’s exceptionally high expectations, that means that all pasta is handmade, only the freshest ingredients will ever make it into our kitchens and onto our customers’ plates, and that each dish is prepared with that secret ingredient that only a true Nonna can add – love,” explains John.

“Pasta Café allows any South African to welcome little Italy into their homes and onto their dinner plates. As the concept evolves, we’ll further expand our menu to include even more of Italy’s pasta treasures, to the point where we can confidently equal the standard of Nonna with our truly authentic creations,” John concludes.

Pasta Café is open Mondays to Sundays between 8 am and 10 pm. Orders can either be collected or patrons can make use of the home delivery service offered by Pasta Café. Call 076 089 9174!
