Welcome to the world of pasta! Here, the star of the show is this delectable dish, accompanied by a delightful array of antipasti and mouth-watering desserts. You’re in for a treat with classics like spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino; rigatoni con ragu alla Bolognese; and fettuccine con pesto fresco. We always have one type of homemade fresh pasta available each day, while the rest is sourced from the renowned Barilla brand.

Given the constraints of our humble kitchen, we can only offer a limited selection. However, our talented chef and Wilderer food director, Kobus Pretorius, has big plans! He’s currently working on a separate pasta-making facility, set to open in July 2023. This exciting addition will introduce a whole new menu dedicated to homemade ravioli, fettuccine, and more. Get ready to experience pasta perfection like never before!

Oh, and before I forget, let me introduce you to our Parmesan wheel of delight. It’s a true culinary spectacle! Picture this: a giant wheel of Parmesan cheese, carefully carved out to create a bowl-like shape. We then toss piping hot pasta in this cheese bowl, allowing the pasta to absorb the savory, nutty flavors of the Parmesan. It’s a true feast for the senses and an absolute must-try.

So, step into our pasta paradise and embark on a journey of flavors. Indulge in the classics and keep an eye out for exciting additions coming your way in the near future. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

I couldn’t resist the temptation (and deliciousness) of having tagliatelle tossed in a parmesan wheel right at my table. It was a delightful experience that involved a blowtorch, a generous amount of Wilderer brandy, and the blissful melting of parmesan cheese infused with truffle, cream, and black pepper. The result was a richly scented and decadent dish that I absolutely loved. If you’re planning on ordering this, make sure to let them know in advance so they can prepare it for you.

Delectable desserts infused with grappa

Not only do Wilderer spirits add a touch of magic to their drinks, but they also enhance the dessert menu in the most delightful way. The tiramisu, for example, is served in a jar and soaked in grappa, giving the sponge a flavorful twist. The panna cotta is infused with Wilderer’s raspberry eau de vie, along with a luscious berry sauce. To round off your meal, you can enjoy a muscato or pinotage grappa alongside your espresso. And if you’re looking for something extraordinary, be sure to try their apple pie moonshine, which delights the senses with its aromatic blend of cloves and cinnamon.
