La Nostra Storia · Our Story

A little hut with a big table.

Welcome to La Capannina, where Mediterranean classics and local favourites come together in a fusion of flavours — uniting the tastes of the Southern Cape with those from across the countries of the Mediterranean.

Pizzas rise in the wood-fired oven, pasta is turned by hand, and the welcome is as warm as the kitchen. Come for lunch, stay for the evening.

Dal Forno a Legna · From the Wood Fire

Fired by wood, every evening.

A thin, crisp base, blistered at the edges, straight from the oven that anchors our kitchen. Our pizzaiolo Connie has been shaping them by hand for years — you can taste the care in every slice.

“The pizza was next level — a perfectly thin, crispy base, generous toppings and absolutely divine flavour. Every bite was a delight.” Yolanda S · Google review
