“The La Cantina” Pizza (Tobago)
This authentic Italian-style pizzeria is a favourite of T&T locals and tourists. (La Cantina has recently expanded to Trinidad, opening a new location on Victoria Street in Port of Spain…more details here.)
LA CANTINA offers 10 vegetarian, 11 seafood and 19 meat pizzas (the pizzas are large enough to easily feed two people). Other menu items worth checking out include the salads, antipasti and a cheese board (all meats and cheeses are sourced from Italy).
The full bar serves wine, cocktails, as well as local (Stag and Carib) and foreign beers like Hoegarden, Stella Artois and Original Guinness Draft.

Trinidad & Tobago’s Newsday says “La Cantina…is as close to authentic Italian pizza as it can possibly get on a tropical island. So alluring is the pizza that many local fans of La Cantina have been known to make the trip between both islands just to have a slice of Italy for dinner.”
Pizza was very good, but I was disappointed by one thing. I ordered the Funghi pizza and unfortunately it was all canned mushrooms. I don’t see the purpose of canned mushrooms on any pizza, as it doesn’t have or add any kind of taste to it. It’s like eating rubber. A carton of mushrooms cost approx $25TTD and have enough to top 3-4 pizzas. I would happily pay an extra $10TTD just to get fresh muchrooms on my pizza.
