Da Canton

Top choice in Livingstone


While all the Italian food here is tasty and authentic, it's the homemade gelato that has locals raving. The Italian owner makes all 18 flavours, including all the classics and some original concoctions.

Most pastas are homemade, as is its mozzarella and tomato sauce for its good-valued pizzas. There's a good drinks menu too, including Prosecco, Negronis, Bellini and Americanos. It's set in a large thatched-roof building. On Saturday nights there's usually cultural performances.
