La Capannina

Experience the Culinary Mastery of Italian Chef Diego in the Heart of Beautiful La Capannina, Zanzibar

La Capannina, nestled in the picturesque Lapili residence, provides a straightforward yet exceptional dining experience, with an emphasis on quality and authenticity in every dish. Here, Chef Diego expertly blends Italian culinary traditions with fresh, local Zanzibari ingredients to create dishes that are both familiar and innovative. Customers rave about the poke bowl, brimming with fresh octopus, tuna, and ripe mango, and the robustly flavorful hamburgers, all of which are efficiently served, defying the usual “Zanzibar timing” that diners have come to expect. Additionally, the restaurant’s upper terrace provides a serene spot for a pre-dinner aperitif or a leisurely pizza under the breathtaking Zanzibari sunset, catering to both casual and more formal dining experiences. Every dish, from the perfectly al dente pasta to the meticulously crafted desserts, is prepared with a commitment to authenticity and quality, making La Capannina a must-visit destination for any discerning food lover visiting Zanzibar.
