La Cantina have taken their family’s traditional Italian recipes, culinary ethos, and cooking techniques, and then added the finest local ingredients to recreate an authentic Italian experience. It’s food ‘just like Mamma used to make’, with a fresh, modern twist, served without any fuss in a relaxed, vibrant environment.

Everything is prepared from scratch, using top quality imported produce and local seasonal produce.  The homemade pasta is fresh every day, and their pizza dough is made the traditional way, to a centuries-old Italian recipe using a ‘lievito madre’ natural yeast culture and fired in a stone oven for pizzas that taste as authentically Neapolitan as they come. Using the best of what Jersey has to offer they also make a range of delicacies including,  homemade Italian style sausages using locally grown pork and seasonal foraged offerings, such as ‘gnocchi all'ortica’ stinging nettle gnocchi and local scallops with wild garlic.

Along with the restaurant’s extensive menu, the blackboard specials feature whatever’s in season, from locally caught seafood to Jersey raised meats, foraged herbs and exclusive Italian finds that they import weekly into the Island.  It’s real rustic Italian cooking using the best local ingredients.  And while La Cantina keeps things ‘old school’ in the kitchen, the restaurant is bringing Italian food right up to date with a fresh whole-wheat version of their pastas and pizzas, and a menu that allows the guest to customize their meal.  There’s a 100% Italian, price-banded, wine list that features exclusive wines that they import directly from the vineyard, and a large selection of wines by the glass.

It’s a real taste of Italy, right here in Jersey with a bustling, Italian atmosphere where everyone instantly feels at home. You can also enjoy the La Cantina experience at home as you can take-away their entire menu.
