Where the Mediterranean meets George

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

The name means "the little hut". That's how the room feels: warm light, an open kitchen, plates you'd want to eat every night. Come as you are; leave a little slower.

Slow-cooked, richly satisfying

The kind of cooking that rewards patience: shanks that give under a spoon, jus reduced until it shines. Owner Margi Ciapparelli keeps the plates honest and the room warm.

The food itself was simply excellent. My osso buco was perfectly cooked and elegantly presented. Jean Durand · Google review
