Home of Pinsa Romana in Cape Town
At Datterino we bring the everyday food culture of Rome to Cape Town. Simple food, honest ingredients and a dough that is light, fragrant and highly digestible.
Our signature is Pinsa Romana, paired with Italian-inspired panini, good coffee, aperitivo and homemade treats.
No complications. Just real Italian food, the Roman way.
QUESTA È VITA
From breakfast to aperitivo to pinsa
Who We Are
Datterino is a Roman-style cafeteria and Pinseria where Pinsa Romana is our signature. While our focus is on serving the best Pinsa in Cape Town, we also offer Italian-inspired panini, good coffee, aperitivo and homemade treats.
Our name and symbol tell our story:
The Wolf – the symbol of Rome, a tribute to the Eternal City and the origin of Pinsa Romana
Datterino – a sweet Italian tomato that represents freshness, flavour and authenticity
Together they express our philosophy: Roman heritage, simple food and quality ingredients. This is our way of bringing a little piece of Rome to Cape Town.
Popular Breakfasts
- • Croissant with scrambled eggs, balsamic roasted cherry tomatoes, cheddar and basil pesto
- • Avocado Toast on sourdough, topped with wild rockets, fresh cherry tomatoes, feta and then drizzled with a balsamic reduction
Join us for Aperitivo
At Datterino, aperitivo is a daily ritual.
If you want to beat the traffic instead of sitting in it, come and join us for a Spritz, a cold beer or a Gin & Tonic, perfectly paired with a Pinsa Romana or a warm panino.
Simple drinks, good food and a relaxed Roman atmosphere just like in a neighbourhood bar in Rome.
