Stopped by for Sunday lunch and was pleasantly surprised with this place, the service was great and food was delicious... the complimentary bread was so good I would buy if they sold it :) will definitely be back next time I visit Pretoria.

Where do I even start? La Pentola has been a favorite of mine since I moved to Pretoria, from the simply phenomenal service, to the delectable cuisine, this is an establishment I recommend whenever I can.
I had the pleasure of attending a 5- course wine pairing event the restaurant had in conjunction with Durbanville Hills wine. (Events they host monthly with a different partner)
Every single plate served was fresh and tasty, if I had to pick a fave it would be the grilled calamari served with pineapple and orange hummus. By the time dessert came out, I was stuffed (and pretty tipsy).

What a wonderful experience! Have not been to La Pentola in a while although it is a firm favourite. And was confirmed yet again why.
The food was realy, realy good. Well presented, flavoursum and just absolutely yum. I had the Aztec mushrooms for starter and could have this dish for a main. The balance of salty, sweet with a hint of chilli was to perfection! Had the fillet with a blue cheese sauce for mains and my only critique is that the blue cheese could have been a bit more pronouced in. But was still a feast on the palate!
My companion even had another starter for dessert as he could not get enough of these well rounded dishes on the menu.
Highly recommended for the best food I had in Pretoria for quite some time, the excellent service and unasuming interior.

I have eaten at La Pentola a few times as it is basically around the corner from me. The exterior and well quite honestly interior do not do justice to the food. Service is great and all the dishes were yummy. I had mussels and the Forrest rump...really tender and full of flavour. It is not cheap but you pay for a great flavour experience. Highly recommended!

First time and definitely not the last time we will visit LA Pentola. From the outside it doesn't look like anything fancy but the food is out of this world. Starters, mains, dessert and 3 cocktails under R700 is something not seen often considering the 5 star food received. True hidden gem.

Incredible experience, food, service and wine list is top notch! A must in Pretoria. Will see me again, very soon. The only thing that wasn't perfect is the chairs. They need an upgrade.

My husband and I visited La Pentola in January. As with the previous 2
visits, it was a wonderful evening. The service was excellent and so was the food but the food portions were small. We ordered chicken livers and springbok carpachio for starters, KWV fillet for mains and dark chocolate desert. It has a warm ambience with peaceful background music.

So, for my wife's 50th I decided to take her to an old gem of the Pretoria gastronomic landscape. And it didn't disappoint, the setting is rustic and unassuming, which I think is just to lull one into thinking the food will be decent but not great etc. Well, the food is superb, I had the seafood pasta but there were 4 or 5 dishes that I'll be going for over the next few months... (ostrich, warthog and springbok based dishes that sounded awesome). Service was great too, definitely worth a visit, a highlight for sure.

I randomly visit la pentola with colleagues or privately. The restaurant never disappoints, daily specials are great. My favorite is hake with rice, potato croquet, sautéed veggies and generous mushroom/shrimp sauce. Complimentary bread is amazing.

Always a good dining experience. We have dine here for a food and whiskey pairing as well as a la carte. The food and drink pairings is so far the best. The meals are well prepared and always delicious. They are generous with the portions as well. It is advised to make a booking in advance, they do get busy some days.

This is a small, good quality restaurant tucked away just off Soutpansberg road. It was very quiet when we dined here, but the music was good and the artistic displays were quite interesting. I only ate specials this time, kicking off with the enjoyable crocodile tail with granadilla and kiwi fruit starter, followed by a generous sicilian hake, which deserved a bit more flavour but was still well prepared. We happily washed this down with a very decent Shiraz. One of the secret skills that the restaurant takes pride in is good wine pairings. It is definitely worth experiencing their culinary offerings!

The 5* stars how & what I experienced 3 times visited. Concentrate on aroma of every piece / type food prepared. Great Wines - Good taste does not come cheap, but really value for money.

Awesome food. Service was phenomenal. Highly recommend. Those who have something negative to say do not know what quality food is.
