We went there on Tuesday 30 April, and the food was absolutely fantastic!! We had a wonderful evening but unfortunately it ended with a bitter taste in our mouths. The waitress was really nice the whole evening until the bill came. We gave a 10% gratuity, and then her attitude changed completely. She was rude, started handling glasses and crockery... More

Truly different food! You can eat anything from crocodile and warthog to chicken and steak. Lovely starters, mains and dessert.

La Pentola is an excellent choice for a great evening out. The food is always a great experience. We have dined there several times and not once have our experience been below expectation.

This is a little gem of a restaurant and well worth a visit. The menu is varied and different from the run of the mill that is so prevalent in South Africa.

Warm atmosphere with a delicious and unique menu. I have celebrated my birthday there in September a few years ago with a "themed" evening (wine tasting & 3 course meal) and have not looked back since! Absolutely love the place :) Well worth a visit - you won't be sorry!

The food at La Pentola is absolutely incredible. The service is excellent as all the waiters know the entire menu (which changes often) off by heart. The décor is not to my taste, but the focus is on the food and that is what matters most. The restaurant is however warm and cosy with a great ambience.
