Homemade pasta features alongside local fusion recipes, giving the menu a broad choice for different dining occasions.
Pizza is made on a thin, crisp base and prepared with fresh local ingredients. The menu includes both chef-created combinations and the option to build a pizza with selected ingredients. Mediterranean-style flatbreads add another lighter, shareable choice, while traditional Italian desserts and local specialities provide a sweet finish.
La Capannina’s atmosphere is warm and cosy, with an emphasis on attentive hospitality and unhurried dining. Fresh produce is sourced from local suppliers, and the kitchen follows traditional methods while introducing contemporary ideas to the menu. Weekly chef specials add variety alongside the main menu.
The restaurant is also positioned conveniently for an evening near the George Arts Theatre, making it suitable for a pre-theatre meal. Take-away pizza and other menu choices provide an option for a meal away from the restaurant. With its combination of Mediterranean flavours, Italian classics and South African cuisine, La Capannina offers a versatile dining stop for Garden Route visitors and George locals.
