Impress even the most extravagant foodie with signature dishes and cocktails at Scala

For Pasta Aficionados

TUCKED INTO the culinary pulse of Cape Town's Bree Street, Scala Pasta/Bar is not your average trattoria — it’s an ode to Italian sensuality, refracted through a modern, South African lens. Bold, buzzy and undeniably stylish, Scala is where la dolce vita meets Cape Town cool.

imageCurated by Chef Luciano Monosilio — Rome's very own “King of Carbonara” and the youngest Italian chef to earn a Michelin star — Scala isn’t just playing the pasta game, they're rewriting the rules. Every plate is a masterclass in simplicity done exceptionally well. Think handmade pasta that teases your palate with the kind of restraint only the Italians have mastered — always just enough, never too much.

Reliable, unshakable and still the bakkie you'd trust when the road disappears into the horizon
