About us
We need your help
Massimo's restaurant in Hout Bay is only open for deliveries but the kitchen is also preparing meals to be distributed to the needy, in collaboration with 'Gracie love in a bowl' and 'Community Cookup IY'
Many people will be out of work, kids out of school (where they used to get the only meal for the day), infected will be stuck home.
We need everyone's help and we are already stretched by having to pay our staff at home and the rent. We can only do this with your help.
We hope to give some support and show others this can be done with the collaboration of everyone.
We will buy vegetables, pasta, rice and all is needed to prepare healty meals.
We now deliver Frozen Meals straight to your door! Take a peak at the menu above for more info
How it started
I am from *Piemonte, in northern Italy. I come from a family that raised its own chickens, eggs, vegetables, rabbit and veal for the table. My family’s veg and fruit was home-grown and preserved for the leaner months. Families would club together and buy a large consignment of meat to save money. The home-made produce was complimented by special bought items such as truffles and amazing cheeses with cows’ and sheeps’ milk, as well as seasonal delights like locally gathered figs, wild mushrooms, hazelnuts and chestnuts. We still celebrate today the trade links with Liguria with ‘bagna cauda’ – a autumnal ‘fondue’ style dish made with anchovies– and veg to dip. We try to offer the best of Piemonte at Massimo’s, while still celebrating many of Italy’s popular dishes.
*Please note that Piemontese cuisine is not heavily laden with chillies and garlic or spices. My mother uses both sparingly, or not at all. We freshly chop chillies and garlic daily; they are available as a side at a small extra cost.
We (that is, my wife, Tracy and I) came to South Africa in 2003 for a holiday, and fell in love with the country, its people, and the landscape. Before that, we spent seven years living in the French countryside running a ‘gite’ (a type of B&B or ‘agriturismo’). We did the cleaning, gardening, ironing, pool cleaning, etc ourselves, as well as offering French, Italian , or far Eastern dining on request for up to 26 people. We installed a pizza oven and then expanded our offering to pizza. Everybody loved our lighter, thinner style of pizza, so it was a natural progression to bring that idea to Cape Town. "Massimo’s Pizza Club" began here in 2009 with us and 4 staff, preparing all the ingredients in our kitchen at home and bringing them here at 4pm, as we shared the premises! We are now open 7 days a week for lunch & dinner and have roughly 20 staff.
The inside
The interior has a rustic eclectic ambiance with historical photos of the folks back home. At dinner there are silent old school movies projected on the walls.
The outside
Outside there are family friendly relaxed dining areas with jungle gyms and spaces for the children to run and play.
