Welcome to Lievita, a culinary haven nestled in the heart of Cape Town, where the art of crafting authentic Italian pizza and pasta comes to life. Our restaurant is not just a dining destination, it’s a journey that transports you straight to the cobbled streets of Italy, where the aromas of hand-kneaded dough and rich, savory sauces waft through the air.
At Lievita, we take immense pride in staying true to the time-honored traditions of Italian cuisine. Our skilled chefs meticulously curate each dish, using only the finest, locally sourced ingredients combined with imported Italian specialties to create a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.
Our imported Neapolitan “Fazzone” oven is the beating heart of our restaurant, infusing our pizzas with that unmistakable and perfectly blistered crust. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Margherita or seek a culinary adventure with our inventive gourmet combinations, every bite is a celebration of quality and authenticity.
But our offerings extend beyond just pizza. Our pasta dishes are a labor of love, handcrafted and cooked to perfection. From the Gorgonzola and Pesto Rigatoni to the slow cooked Ragù, each plate tells a story of Italy’s diverse regions, where ingredients and techniques vary but passion for food remains constant.
As you step into Lievita, you’re not just joining us for a meal you’re immersing yourself in a warm and inviting atmosphere that echoes the hospitality of Italian trattorias. Whether it’s a romantic evening, a gathering of friends, or a family celebration, our restaurant sets the stage for unforgettable moments.
We invite you to savor the essence of Italy right here in Cape Town, at Lievita. Buon appetito!
.The Maestro

After countless visits to South Africa, Andrea decided to call her his home and settled here in 2013. Shortly after he decided to share his love for authentic Italian cuisine with the local community and started up Café 28 in Sandton.
