Super gorgeous and super fun. Lovely to walk the property after dinner. Tap room is comfy and pretty. The dark ceiling with white lighting trims is too bad.

Wonderful experience. Superb food, excellent cocktails and wines. Our server was a gem. She was always there when we needed something. Her food suggestions were spot on as well. We really appreciated her handwritten note congratulating my wife on her retirement. Pricey? Yes, but worth every penny.

Da Capo contemporary interpretations of Italian classics are always made to order from scratch. Our seasonal menu highlights the quality of the freshest ingredients from local farms and our New York Style thin crust pizza is already a favorite all over Litchfield County. The casual setting and inviting atmosphere created by the real tin ceilings, exposed brick, soft lighting and a taste from the past brought to you by the local historical photos makes da Capo a favorite destination for a delicious dining experience. In the summer months, relax in our outdoor patio and experience a little bit of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Da Capo brings to Connecticut a recipe found in Little Italy in the early 1900's: "Authentic New York Style Thin Crust Pizza". Almost a century later Da Capo proudly presents our famous " Old World" family recipe, along with classic family style dining.

We had not been here in a while and the new menu has several interesting additions besides our old favorites. The coconut shrimp appetizer was good and my shrimp risotto with corn, asparagus and bacon bits was exceptional and large enough for a complete helping there and enough leftover for complete helping the next day.
