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!
Absolutely Great and undoubtedly the best pizza in Cape Town and South Africa!! As I sat waiting for my meal chatting to Diego and Kimone (who are amazing hosts and the owners) burrata was delivered to the kitchen and Diego was ecstatic at the sight of these beautiful balls of mozzarella. With such excitement from a chef, Obviously I ordered them and they were presented like a poached eggs, and when i cut this ball of mozzarella it oozed an amazing buttery cream! A must have when available. The pizza was equally great made from doppio zero flour and properly hand crafted with amazing care. Cannot believe that to get the outside crust just right it gets dusted with a second type of flour! What was meant to be a quick pizza turned into a 3 hour taste and experience and extravaganza. Well done Kimone and Diego. BTW- the staff were just as amazing as the food and whilst I went there alone, I dined in amazing company! In fact I write this whilst still in 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!
