Our table

Mediterranean classics, met halfway by the Garden Route.

Welcome to La Capannina, where Mediterranean classics and local favourites come together in a perfect fusion of flavours.

We unite the tastes of local cuisine with those from across the countries of the Mediterranean — from a Napoli-style wood-fired oven to a slow-braised Karoo lamb shank, without ever leaving George.

Artisan pizzas in the wood-fired oven

The oven

Every pizza starts with fire, flour and a little patience.

Artisan pizzas, blistered the way they should be — the heart of the room, and the reason first-timers become regulars.

The family

Run by people who greet you at the door.
