La Capanna

Whilst the food was good, it was not spectacular, and despite me explaining that I was not the member of the group responsible for the booking and numbers, I received a bit too much of a dressing down from the bar staff member who I settled up with, regarding the short notice cancellation of two of the group. I fully appreciate that numbers and profitability at this point are crucial to the survival of a restaurant this year, but I wasn't the one to speak with nor in that tone. Additionally, charging corkage when none was applicable was a little on the nose, and I shouldn't have had to have sought for this to be addressed. Not sure I would revisit in a hurry.

Didn’t enjoy our pizza at all. Tasted super bland with cheap ingredients, bad cheese, a burnt base and very small. One of the worst pizzas I’ve had and probably the most expensive as well.

Very poorly staffed. Went on a Thursday night, not overly busy but not quiet either. Waited 20 minutes to be given a menu (had to ask for one). Waited an hour and a half for some pretty average food. The staff didn't appear to have enough training / didn't know what they were doing, and the kitchen seemed to be understaffed given how long the food took. Won't be coming back here.

The water glasses were absolutely putrid. The cutlery was bent and twisted. I ordered the prawns in garlic and chili sauce. What was thrown in front of me was slop that looked like a massacre. Prawn heads every where. No where on the menu did it warn one they would get full prawns thst were not cleaned. I refused it. My friends had pasta which went cold waiting for parmesan cheese, and it wasn't enough to feed a 5 year old. Served with dry old toast. Frightful meals. Service was virtually non existent. We began drinking wine from the bottle after asking numerous times for glasses and being charged a hefty corkage. Dreadful, dull, and very bloody dirty. Don't start me on the toilets.

Ridiculously poor. Been here a few times.
Foccacia was a big piece of pita bread with some few slices of salami and prosciutto so bland. So my partner orders a marinara pasta straight away to actually have a chance of getting a decent meal and we wait well over an hour after prompting staff and couldn't wait any longer. Really wasnt that busy.
Little apology. A lot of attitude. No compensation. And partner off to night shift with no dinner. I don't usually leave a review but this tonight I had to

We used to come here for many years as a family and even a few years ago. Recently my wife and I went back and whilst the charm and service are always great, the pizza was underwhelming, undercooked, the dough tasted old. Disappointed.

I have been dining at this restaurant for over 20 years, very disappointed tonight to arrive for a 7.30 seating to be told we couldn’t order pasta as there was an hour wait time. The staff were trying their best and were very apologetic for the delays. We said we were happy to wait for our pasta only to see a party who arrived after us to be served their food before us… The food when it arrived was very good, but I’m sorry to say I won’t be returning.

Food was great. That table near the back was not - shouldn’t put people there it was squeezed in a corridor next to stacked chairs, the toilet and the kitchen. We booked over a month in advance and there was nowhere else to sit. Decor could do with a refresh to be honest, staff were chatting over us and had to get up to get attention a couple of times.

Friendly vibe and atmosphere, very oily pasta, mistakes on orders, nice pizza, disappointing salad, expensive corgage but nice staff.

Pretty ordinary, but a lovely trip down memory lane! The menu hasn't changed, and the food is still good.

Service was a real let down. Cook kept staring at me as I tried to eat my food from the back of the room. Bit awkward to say the least.
Food was nice overall, delicious garlic bread and a good pizza.

We went last night. The place was packed.only had one waitress on.
Meals took a long time to come out.
Food was nice.

I have about 100 places on the spike that I want to review, but tonight I had one of the most delightful hospitality experiences in recent memory at La Capanna.

The bus dropped me off right outside the venue, and I was about to traipse off to my hotel, but spying the decorative statuettes, I decided to tarry for ONE glass of wine.

That one glass.and three more, and the pomodoro bruschetta and the salmon pizza later.

I loved it all. From the friendly, bubbly wait staff to the really sanely-priced wine range, to the similarly attributed menu, it was a delight.

Even for an (ultimately) solo diner.

I WILL go back time and again to La Capanna.

The venue was cute and the staff were lovely, but unfortunately the food was a bit of a let down.

The garlic bread was standard and a bit too buttery. The pasta (I got the salmon spaghetti) had nice flavours but was too oily. The wine list was nice, but limited.

That being said, I’d come back to try something else - the salad and tomato-based seafood dishes on other tables looked pretty good!

Really nice food. Just be careful if you're using the restrooms and it has been raining as the ground outs8de gets very slippery.

Food was great & so was the service.
A cute little Italian restaurant hidden in Kingston, with its homey rustic feel, this is definitely a place you want to visit.
I have been here several times & is does not disappoint, the seafood Siciliana is definitely high on my favourites on the menu.
Would definitely recommend.

Great service!
Absolutely loves the Fungi Bruscheta!
Delicious pizza!
Great wine! No.really good!
Just.wished they had a Tiramisu on the menu.

Efficient informed friendly service, very tasty food, tortellini and fettuccini, yum, dessert was affogarto, gelati, lemon lime tart, coffee a satisfying finish.

Good. I had indian food - rice and daal. Rest of them did not suit my taste. Worth the try once if you are around. Service was good but they did take time to cook. Nice set of healthy drink options. Slightly expensive but worth it. Overall good.

Great food! Great wine! Super friendly staff. Would recommend changing out the art under the glass of all of the tables, they look a bit mouldy.
