    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.
