La Cantina Italian Restaurant

Really nice ambiance, service was attentive and food was delicious. We all had different pasta dishes and everyone was delightfully satisfied. The panna cotta and cannoli desserts were amazing! Will definitely return.

Busy but good service, all four of us had a pasta dish. Good honest food Tried a local Riverina italian style red which was a good surprise. All in all a good night and will go again

Fantastic little restaurant with a homely atmosphere, great food good wine at a reasonable price combined with friendly service. 5 star experience

Gnocchi was best ever. Chicken special was most tender ive ever had. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We will recommend to all our friends and will go back next time in ACT

Great restaurant. The sharing platter is good value and delicious, would recommend!

Our mains were absolutely delicious - subtle and inventive without being pretentious. Desserts too were really well done, satisfying and tasty without being too sweet. Service was efficient, attentive and friendly and decor and lighting warm and inviting. We’ll be back!

Not bad food, service was surprisingly mediocre. The whole meal (entree of anti pasta and breads and mains of pasta, pizza and a steak) was realistically a 45 min meal but ended up taking close to 2 hours. Waited almost 15 mins for service and then were promptly ignored after ordering..would have liked to order another beer and drinks but sadly it was not to be. This was touted to me as the best Italian food in Canberra, perhaps. Will try once more but compared to other places, a big catch up is required.

We walked around for a while in canberra looking for a place to eat.. Was recommended la cantina by a friend in melbourne and decided to go. One look at the menu and we knew it was going to be great. Wonderful authentic menu with authentic traditional ingredients. Most of the food we eat in italian resturants these days has been heavily alterd and far from from the simplicity of Italian good food.we enjoyed everything and we could have fitted more in I would have.its a shame we don't have a place like this in melbourne I would get to it as often as I could. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. COMPLIMENTI! Give this place a go you will not be dissappointed Rita

People go to restaurants for food and service. This place has both. Family owned business that have an awesome chef who's trained with a really famous Italian chef - you can tell in everything you eat. The staff know their menus and the lady who owns it is so sweet. Been there 11 years, and if you haven't been so far -now is the time. Really.

Havent visited for a little while. New menu was outstanding
