Pronto Italian Restaurant
A no-nonsense Italian local that gets all the basics right.
Since opening in 2004, Pronto Italian Restaurant has cemented itself as one of Joburg’s great neighbourhood institutions, the kind of place that hums with regulars, from the morning espresso crowd to the last patrons lingering over a limoncello. In a city that sometimes feels crowded with chains, Pronto remains proudly personal. Owner Natasha Maciel is the driving force and heart behind this gem (and behind its sister, Liberté French Food & Wine). Her vision? Sharing her passion for authentic Italian cuisine, quality ingredients and the joy of gathering around a table. Expect classic Italian executed with consistency and confidence. Alongside the bustling dining space, you’ll also find Pronto Deli & Foodstore, its shelves stocked with Italian pantry staples, hand-made sauces, freshly baked treats and restaurant-quality frozen meals. Word of warning: it’s dangerously easy to leave with more than you intended.
Don't leave without trying:
Anything with porcini or artichokes, when they’re in season.
