About La Capannina

Perched over Scarborough Beach, La Capannina pairs front-row Indian Ocean sunsets with coastal Italian dining and effortless seaside energy. Regulars head straight for the breezy balcony—the prime perch for watching dusk settle across the water with a cocktail in hand. In the kitchen, the team turns out housemade pastas alongside tender braised beef cheek, blistered Margherita pizzas, and fresh seafood. Early evenings draw a crowd for aperitivo hour drinks, while the floor staff keeps group celebrations running seamlessly with tailored table setups and flexible terrace arrangements. Dinner naturally winds down over bowls of potato gnocchi and chilled local wine as the sea breeze rolls in.

  • Balcony Sunset Perch: Alfresco balcony seating delivers front-row Indian Ocean views, making it a prime spot for twilight drinks and date nights.
  • Flexible Group Hosting: From custom table setups to swift weather adjustments, the floor team accommodates large group dinners and milestone events with ease.
  • Seaside Aperitivo Hour: Early evenings feature weekday aperitivo specials, craft cocktails, and thin-crust pizzas overlooking the coast.
