Mediterranean · Wood-fired · George
A family-run kitchen where Italian classics meet the Karoo — wood-fired pizza, slow-cooked lamb, and a table worth lingering at.
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 — a menu that travels from a Napoli wood-fired oven to a slow-braised Karoo lamb shank, without ever leaving George.
“Romantic, serene, and a view of the mountains.” — the kind of night we're after.
The wood-fired oven
Artisan pizzas, blistered in the oven the way they should be — the heart of the room, and the reason first-timers become regulars.

La Capannina's expert pizza maker, keeping the wood-fired oven honest.
“La Capannina is an absolute little gem. We're visiting from overseas and were craving pizza on New Year's — we honestly couldn't have made a better choice. Welcomed by friendly, attentive staff, and the service throughout was excellent.”
“So glad I found this gem! Amazing view of the mountains. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is so romantic and serene.”
“Friendly staff, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. A lot of menu options and a variety of prices. Definitely a must!”
“Welcomed by the head chef and immediately felt at home. The food itself was simply excellent — do yourself a favour and try the bacon and brie.”
“A wonderful experience. We started with the brie, bacon and puff pastry — rich, comforting, and perfectly executed.”
