What an awesome place! Loved everything, from the food to the atmosphere and Tavanda is the best waiter! Definitely coming back! Ps: the tiramisu is to die for!

Ordered a Pizza and came without a topping. Asked the waiter for an Irish Coffee and asked what the cost was I was told R40 and that it came with whisky. So I ordered a double Irish coffee. They then charged me R40 for coffee...without whisky and charged me R96 for a double whisky. My double Irish Coffee came to R136 the most I have paid at any restaurant in South Africa ever. A total rip off!More

Thank you for your review, we apologies for your pizza which was missing one topping, we did however correct this omission as soon as it was brought to our attention. Unfortunately mistakes are made on rare occasions during a very busy service. Your Irish coffee...More

Nice spit for a nice evening out with my partner. We had a pizza and the pork fillet. Both quite enjoyable meals. Also nice to see the place packed!

We had dinner here on Wednesday evening and as usual, the food and service was outstanding. I had the Chicken Salad and it was very tasty, but I could have done with less lettuce (80%) and more chicken. There were more croutons than chicken pieces.

The atmosphere is anything like Italian. It was noisy,cramped and over filled meaning an atmosphere killer. Our table was in the old smoking section on a side. It was a constant moving. The starter was discussing like hard paper wth a bit of deckings. The...main meal was very good but spoilt by the terrible noise of a cramped room. Never again. Run out and look around in George. Not worse the money and an atmosphere killer. Shame Werner HoppeMore

This is our first visit to La Capannina. The food was absolutely delicious and even though the restaurant was busy, our waitress Steph was very efficient and her service was excellent. We will definitely be back again!

I have wined and dined 3 times at this well established restaurant. The food choices are very good. I would consider this a good value for money restaurant bearing in mind that it is a little up market. Pizza and Pasta are well worth trying.

Its no secret that La Capannina does great food. I have been there a handful of times and I am always satisfied when I leave. Well to be honest I am more than satisfied, I have a food baby . The portions are great, the...atmosphere is welcoming and warm and the staff are great too! Our Waitress was Steph and she made us feel comfortable . We didn't need to wait forever for our orders to be taken or for the food to arrive and her dessert suggestion topped it all off! Definitely recommend to any locals who have not given them a try and to anyone in town even just for the night. You won't regret it!More
