La Capannina Zanzibar — Restaurant in Unguja

Capannina Zanzibar is a true hidden gem when it comes to Italian cuisine! From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with warm Italian hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The owners, both genuine Italians, clearly pour their hearts into every dish they create, and it truly shows in the exceptional flavors.

During our visit, I had the pleasure of trying their Noodles with Gorgonzola and Cashew Nuts, and it was an absolute delight. The combination of the rich Gorgonzola and the crunch of the cashew nuts created a symphony of flavors that left me craving for more. The pasta was cooked to perfection, al dente, just the way it should be.

My husband opted for the Poke Bowl with Octopus and Chicken mix, and it was a true fusion of Italian and Zanzibari flavors. The freshness of the ingredients, along with the carefully marinated octopus and tender chicken, made for a unique and satisfying culinary experience. The presentation of the dish was also impeccable, a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

The attention to detail and the commitment to quality ingredients are evident in every dish served at Capannina Zanzibar. The menu offers a wide variety of Italian classics and innovative creations, ensuring there is something to please every palate.

The staff at Capannina Zanzibar are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft. They are more than happy to recommend dishes and answer any questions, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

After a month of eating quite good meals on our Africa tour, this was the last place we ate before heading home. I wish we found it three days ago when we got to Zanzibar as this food is OUTSTANDING! Owners closed their restaurant in Padua, Italy due to Covid and moved here. They opened an absolute gem. Tuna Carpaccio was so fresh and so good. Eggplant Parmigiana was superb with so much tomato flavor. The Haloumi salad was also wonderful as was everyone else’s dish at the table. Please do yourself a favor and try this out of the way place.
