    It is without doubt, one of the most overpriced restaurant that I have ever eaten in and this is coming from a NY Italian who has travelled and eaten my way through many high end Italian restaurants around the world. The waitstaff is pretentious and makes NY waiters a pleasant to deal with. They seemed like it was just a job and trying to get through the evening so they could got home and get out of there. Linguine Vongole with “Manila” clams (the cheapest clams you can buy) for $48 !! Not so Buono

    Our second trip to Capo and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere, service and food all spectacular. We were, once again, celebrating a birthday so it was a special occasion made more special with this dinner. The morel pasta was out of this world as were the Santa Barbara prawns!

    Don’t appreciate a surprise 20% service charge for kitchen and a note on our bill that it doesn’t include tip. Just got back from London and Paris and NEVER heard of a customer expected to pay 40% of bill to pay for services. NEVER!
