Mediterranean mezze, Venetian inspiration, and the always popular Sunday Lunch; dining at Punchinellos is not to be missed. Prime meat cuts, fresh seafood, seasonal vegetarian dishes and a selection of fine desserts at our diner-favourite Fourways restaurant.

A changing menu of dishes harmonises fresh and local with fine imported specialties to create dining that is Mediterranean at its heart and celebrates the best of South African produce.

Punchinello’s offers guests an award-winning Mediterranean mezze, Venetian inspiration dining. Regularly regarded as the best restaurant in Fourways and one of the finest Mediterranean restaurants in Johannesburg this is fine-dining that never becomes fussy-dining. Portions are generous, presentation is beautiful and the taste is mouth-watering.

    Lovely place for a date night... Nicely tucked away at The Pivot Hotel and away from the busyness of Montecasino.

    Service was extremely lousy considering how quite the restaurant was. Had to go and call the (any) waitress if you wanted service. Pour your own wine and no option to order anything additional as there was no service. Pork Belly was so tough we had to return it to the kitchen. Lamb shank was divine! We celebrated a special birthday, unfortunately this experience spoilt the day!

    Was really a big disappointment as it was our wedding anniversary and we were looking forward to the month end buffet lunch, only to be informed that the buffet was the previous Sunday (20/04/2025)! It is clearly advertised that every last Sunday of the month it is the buffet lunch. Did not even bothered to do the Alacarte menu and went somewhere else.
