More than pizza. This is Pinsa.
Created by Christian Wilderer, South Africa’s first Pinsaiolo Master Chef, our authentic Pinsa Romana brings a lighter, crispier, and beautifully flavourful experience to the table.
Different dough. Different method. A taste worth discovering.

There’s nothing like homemade pasta to chase away the Autumn chill… and our ravioli dishes are just what the season ordered.
RAVIOLI BUTTERNUT
Delicately filled with roasted butternut and served with sautéed leek, a splash of cream, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of white truffle oil. Rich, comforting, and full of flavour.
RAVIOLI SPRINGBOK
A true South African twist! Filled with slow-cooked springbok goulash and finished in sage butter – rustic, hearty, and unforgettable.
Join us at Ristorante Pappa Grappa in Paarl for hearty meals and warm hospitality.

If you're a fan of coffee, you've got to try the Caffè Corretto. Picture this: a perfect shot of espresso combined with Wilderer Grappa. 🌪️🤯
But here's a fun fact: have you ever wondered what "Corretto" means? Well, it's actually an Italian word that translates to "corrected." So when you order a Caffè Corretto at one of Wilderer Restaurants, you're enjoying a "corrected" espresso. This beverage is a popular way to enjoy coffee in Italy, particularly after a meal.
Next time you're craving an extra kick in your coffee, give the Caffè Corretto a shot (pun intended)! It's a delightful blend of flavours that will surely perk up your day.

🍋 A Classic, Reimagined with Wilderer Limoncello
Looking for the ultimate Autumn dessert? The Wilderer Limoncello Bread & Butter Pudding is a zesty twist on tradition — rich, comforting, and elevated with citrus elegance.
Why it works:
The bright citrus of Wilderer Limoncello cuts through the richness of the custard, adding depth, balance, and a vibrant finish to every spoonful.
Pro tip:
Soak golden raisins or sultanas in Limoncello before baking for a burst of flavour in every bite. Add fresh lemon zest to the custard mix for an aromatic lift.
Serve it warm. Pour the cream. And prepare to impress.
