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.

    The food and service is excellent. Prices are very high though, especially for wine. Even with the new and improved decor, it still remains a restaurant in a shopping centre and with current pricing, I would not make this a regular stop.

    Very expensive, why bottled water has to be imported always baffles me. Get asked non stop if everything is ok. But, pizzas are really good.

    Lievita is one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Cape Town and we visit it at least once a month. Cape Town prices and Stellenbosch prices are two different things though and I think Lievita Stellenbosch will battle during the winter months when the tourists are few and they need to rely on local (mainly student) patrons where there are so many excellent cheaper alternative options.Stellenbosch is a town dominated by the wine business and locals are used to paying lower prices for wines when they dine out (or lower corkage fees). The service is still a bit slow but that I expect with improve with time. The location of the restaurant in a shopping centre is a challenge. Many restaurants have not been successful in that spot and I think they will need to be creative to overcome this. Please make it work! We love your food!

    9 out of 10 contemporary Italian decor sprinkled with warmth from the service team. Quality of food is divine and could not believe how quickly the pizzas came out. Perhaps some more affordable wine options could be made available?
