    Phenomenal meal. As a NYer, amazing Italian is not what we expect in LA but Capo delivers in every way in an eclectic warm east coast feel inside. The service outstanding. The food delivered above and beyond. This is a dining experience not to be missed! We will be back on our next visit.

    I hadn’t been back to Capo in some time. The restaurant was bustling with customers. Everyone working there was very friendly and efficient. I had pasta with mushrooms - a special that night and it was amazing and we shared the chocolate soufflé also very good. I’m so glad I returned to this gem of a restaurant. I hope to be back soon.
