Frequently Asked Questions

Should I make a reservation in advance?

Booking in advance is strongly recommended, especially for weekend evenings and larger gatherings, as the dining room can book out completely. For large parties, preordering food ahead of time helps prevent extended wait times.

Is there lakeside outdoor seating available?

Yes, outdoor seating is available on the balcony and verandah overlooking Capestone lake. It can get breezy and cool near the water, so bringing a light layer or cardigan is recommended for evening visits.

What are the portion sizes and popular dishes like?

The menu features Italian favourites such as wood-fired pizzas, handmade gnocchi, and pastas like duck ragu and marinara, alongside starters like arancini and focaccia. Portions are generous, with individual pizzas and hearty pasta servings.
