La Capanna

For those of you mourning the demise of Dolce Vita and the decline of Pepe Sale this is the place for you! I went with my family on a quiet Wednesday evening to celebrate a birthday. Despite only a few other customers we felt very comfortable here. The food was fabulous. Most of us had three courses and we all enjoyed every morsel. The wine was great and the gin selection was interesting and tasty. The level of service was perfect for us, no fussing or intrusion but there when needed and friendly. I very much look forward to returning. Soon hopefully!

We've been here quite a few times and whether we've had Pizza, pasta, steak, chicken, etc the food has all been freshly prepared and delicious. We were there on Friday lunchtime and the place was empty. I know it's not the greatest location but it's well worth a visit for an excellent meal and wonderful service. I can't can't recommend this place enough.

Great tasting food!! Very homely atmosphere and quite a relaxed environment. There is only one server which I guess could go one of two ways. As there were not many people in the restaurant you would expect the server to be a little more hands on, nothing was wrong with the service but use any opportunity to build a regular base. I would recommend this restaurant!!

We’ve been wanting to go here for a while as it always looked lovely from the outside and it didn’t disappoint. The food and service was excellent. I will be coming back here very soon! We paid £70 for two but had 3 courses and 1 drink each (me a Diet Coke and my girlfriend a cocktail at £8.50). I thought it was reasonable priced for the food and experience. My only slight criticism is that my main course said it had chilli in and I couldn’t taste any. But, that’s just me being picky as it tasted amazing. Fully recommend.

Wow, what a find. We visited Sunday lunch time and hoped that we could still use the garden and decked area as we use to when this was the Pineapple pub. On getting out of the car we were greeted by a warm “Prego” from Maurizio the chef. We were shown to an outside table, passing through the restaurant which had been decorated tastefully. The garden was simple, tidy and there was plenty of room between the tables so you didn’t feel hemmed in by other diners We went for the Chicken Marengo (a dish I had never heard of before but I can highly recommend) and sea bass, both so full of flavour and delicious As well as Maurizio’s warm welcome, the two waiters that visited our table were friendly as was the manager that came across to introduce himself and welcome us to his restaurant. As it was the end of the afternoon we were shown around the kitchen and met the “back room” staff, all in all, we were made to feel very welcome throughout Great food (the best Italian food I’ve had), great staff, a great feel to the whole place, this is a place we will be returning to often
