The Woodlands Eatery, Cape Town South Africa

You eat Italian food in a converted house near Gardens, where wooden floors and family photos line the walls. The kitchen makes pasta daily — pappardelle, lasagna, risotto — and bakes thin-crust pizzas in a wood-fired oven at the center of the dining room. Gluten-free options are available for both.

Twice a month, the restaurant hosts wine-pairing dinners with local winemakers. These five-course meals focus on one ingredient and one wine farm, with the winemaker present to discuss the pairings. Bookings fill quickly.

Weekdays bring set specials: half-price pizzas on Mondays, free beer or wine with main meals on Tuesdays, half-price pasta on Wednesdays. The space works for dates or groups, spread across two floors of the house.

The building was a home before it was a restaurant, which explains the layout and why the tables feel like seating in someone's dining room.
