Capo Italian Deli - Half of a Sm 6" California Cheesesteak It was the Bomb / Delicious - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My family ordered subs from here on a whim, through DoorDash, while we were visiting DC, and everyone loved them so much that we ordered from them two more times during our trip! The roast turkey subs were huge- with thinly shaved turkey packed in so full- and my kids ate every last bite. I ordered "The Italian" as it was the special, and it was so delicious! It has their homemade Italian dressing, salami, hot capicola, and provolone. I re-ordered it again! My mom also ordered several desserts: house made cannolis, banana bread pudding, oreo cookie mousse, tiramisu, and chocolate mousse cake. Everything was wonderful! I really liked the banana bread pudding. The real gem was the chocolate mousse cake, which was so amazing that we ordered more slices in our next orders. read more

We came out famished from The Howard Theatre. This place was opened late and it hit the spot!! Ordered a Caprese sandwich, and a tuna sandwich. Both were done on Italian bread with sesame seeds (love). Ingredients were fresh and well filled. The tuna salad had mayo, celery, onions, lettuce and tomatoes. It had cheese which I don't care for but I was so hungry I didn't mind it. Was curious about the speakeasy doorway but too tired to venture in, next time! There were a lot of delivery drivers picking up orders so it took a while for me to place my order. Wish they'd have a separate order area apart from pickup. I wanted to eat there but it was way too chaotic with security, delivery drivers and people coming in and out of speakeasy door. We took the sandwiches to our car ate them while listening to music and enjoying the hell outta em samiches!!! read more

Capo Italian Deli - Ricotta Stuffed Shells 3 pieces - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

After an appointment, I took the opportunity to grab lunch before heading back from to work. As soon as you enter the door there is a step to your right. It's counter service, take out only. The menu is on the wall is digital board & small print. QR Code menu Since I didnt have much time I picked a most typical Italian sammie - Italian sub #2. Took short time to get it, it smelled great but I expected it to be a little bigger for the price but I guess that's typical these days. Once I opened that iconic white deli paper, I experienced the Italian sub of my childhood. The only thing that was a surprise was the spicy slice which was kinda fire. I could only eat half of the sub but it was so good I really wanted to finish it. read more

This place fell way off I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!! read more

Capo Italian Deli - Carole f%*king Baskin killed her husband! - Tiger King - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event and both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable. read more

If I could give this place NEGATIVE stars I would. We've ordered multiple times from here because the sandwiches were good, but after this experience, we won't be back. The order was wrong and the man who answered the phone was extremely rude. read more

Ordered via DoorDash and it's everything you want from a legit local Italian deli. They don't skimp and take their sandwiches seriously. Everything was customizable, bread was fresh even at night, and it's just a phenomenal deli. I got the tuna salad- perfectly blended- not too many fillers and not watery. I also got the cheesesteak and added banana peppers, removing the marinara and onions. Definitely hit the spot! A little pricy but I'd recommend for quality and taste! read more

Capo does not disappoint!! Best cheesesteak you can get in DC (still doesn't compare to Philly) and their chicken fontina is in my opinion the best sub on the menu. Still great reheating on day 2!

Looking for late night eats on the weekend? Look no further, Capo serves up deli sandwiches up till 3am! On my recent visit I got a half order of the capicola and provolone. You have a choice of breads, sauces, and toppings. This hit the spot satisfying my belly. I sat up at the front counter and was entertained, watching drunks stumble in and out of the speak easy. read more

the food is great, very fresh but I fear the custom service from some of the cashiers is lacking. A bit unwelcoming and condescending. The food is good so I'm willing to tolerate it but I don't think everyone will. read more

Got take out from Capo's and was impressed. I got the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak and it was delicious. I got American and pepper jack cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, basil aioli (would taste good on a boot) all on a seeded Italian roll. The flavor was all there. Probably one of the best tasting chicken cheesesteaks I've had. I will be back to try the chicken alla vodka and maybe a few other items on their menu. Definitely worth a try. read more

Capo Italian Deli - Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak Sub- Large - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Maybe it was just me. For others who have visited this place were you curious as to why there was a guy always sitting in front of the freezer and why people were going in it? Well I found out after I left that the "freezer door" to the left is the entrance to a speakeasy. Ok on the review. There is room if you choose the option to sit and eat but not much room. This place seems to be more of a grab and go and many know exactly what they came in here. When it comes to trying out a new deli I usually go with a reuben or Italian and I went with the latter. Hey it is an Italian deli so no surprise of no reuben. There are plenty of selections but seeing I was doing a grab and I go I went my choice with no lettuce or tomato to keep it from getting soggy. When I finally bit into it the bread had a nice crunch but nothing that will be scraping the roof of your mouth. Kind of reminds me of French bread with it being soft on the inside but a nice foundation surrounding it. The flavors came together pretty good and the dressing, which can be bought there, had a nice tangy taste. This was something different and in a good way. Many places have their own version of the Italian where some might include one particular meat while others do not. I see myself coming back here again to try some of their other items. There are options for Italian dishes such as chicken parm, lasagna, ziti, and such to try. I will be leading to the chicken parm next time read more

Capo Italian Deli - Italian hoagie - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I don't see a single salad review on this page so let me pave the way - yes, capo deli is not just a speakeasy....its a sandwich shop too. they have a broad menu of speciality options and make your own possibilities - this location, not the foggy bottom spot, has a make your own salad. you can tell this a deli because they know how to load on salad toppings. the banana pepper ratio was to die for. I don't want just a bowl of leaves - the meat portion was large as well! however, it is a sandwich spot, meaning the meat wasn't really meant for a salad. the turkey very plasticy in texture and super stuck together. I would definitely skip this, hard to think that was not made in a lab - the chicken was very bland and dry but the portion blew places like sweetgreen out of the water read more

This is the type of sandwich shop that every city needs. Versatility and quality ingredients. The small sandwiches here are pretty standard size and the large's are massive. The hot and cold sandwiches are both offering classic well executed pairings on fresh delicious bread. Sleeper pick: best meatball sub I've had in DC read more

I ordered a Sm Caprese sandwich. I received tomato and mozzarella with 3 stands of basil and no balsamic to speak of. I had to add my own basil and balsamic glaze, just to make it worth eating. So disappointing, given that I order the turkey and cheese almost daily and i love it (which is the only reason for the second star). This was a complete waste of money. Capo owes me a free sandwich or a full refulnd. read more

Capo Italian Deli - "Caprese" sandwich that looks NOTHING like the pics on the website. Flavorless and totally disappointing. - Delis Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've never actually had the food at Capo Deli, but I've been here plenty of times at night, and it's consistently a great time. On the weekends, there's a speakeasy in the back, which a lot of people don't expect since it looks like just a sandwich shop from the outside. That alone makes it a fun spot to pull up to if you're looking for something a little different. The vibe really starts picking up around 11 p.m. into midnight, so this is more of a late-night move than an early one. Mikey, the owner, who also works the door, is super friendly and always welcoming. The rest of the staff is cool as well, which honestly makes a big difference when it comes to the overall experience. Every time I've come here, the energy has been right and I've ended up having a good night. If you're looking for a low-key but lively late-night spot Caoo Deli is definitely worth checking out. read more

Ordered their Thanksgiving sub, and wow, what a disappointment. I saw it posted by a food blogger and it was loaded... what I received was skimpy and sad. For $20 this was a huge rip off. I will leave my rating at a 2 star since I've tried their Italian sub in the past and enjoyed it. Don't order their Thanksgiving sub guys - it's a scam!! read more

My coworkers and I visit Capo Deli on Florida Avenue NW almost weekly and generally enjoy the food and service. Typically, when the smaller gentleman takes my order, everything is prepared correctly. Unfortunately, this is the second occasion where my order was incorrect when taken by another employee. I ordered a California cheesesteak with pickles and a chicken cheesesteak with hot peppers, along with pickles and hot peppers on the side. Upon returning to the office, I discovered the hot peppers had been added to the California cheesesteak, there was very little mayo, and neither sandwich included cheese. In addition, the sandwich was barely cut, and when I picked it up to eat, it immediately fell apart. Given that the sandwiches are approximately $20 each, I would expect greater attention to quality and order accuracy. As a regular customer, this experience was disappointing. read more

I haven't been here in person, so I can't speak to that experience, but I've recently ordered via Uber Eats a few times and its quickly become a favorite delivery spot for me. So far, I have had their Italian and meatball sub, their Capo cheesesteak, the banana bread pudding, and the brownie. Their large subs are huge and could easily be two meals or split between two people. The cold cuts and toppings on the Italian were fresh and delicious. I could have used a bit more Italian dressing, but that is personal preference. The cheesesteak was really good and had plenty of meat on it, but I think they either gave me the original cheesesteak instead OR just didn't put much marinara on it. Still delicious and it arrived hot and cheesy, but I couldn't taste or see the sauce. The meatball sub was my favorite, though. Possibly the best meatball sub that I have had. The meatballs were tender and super seasoned/flavorful. This one had a good amount of marinara on it. And they were generous with the cheese, as well. For the subs, I've gotten the seeded Italian a couple times, which was really good, but I recently tried their Philly roll instead and I thought that was even better. Both desserts I tried were also tasty! The brownie was super fudgy and yummy, and the banana bread pudding was really good - perfect amount of bananas and had chocolate chips in it. My food was also done and arrived super quickly. Overall, this is now my go-to sub spot. My only complaint is that I wish some of their subs had more sauce/dressing, but thats pretty minor. read more

As I mentioned in my first review of Capo this past winter, I work pretty close and used to grab a sandwich from here every once in a while, but stopped coming after my incident in the speakeasy. A few days ago, I was craving a sandwich so I popped over to grab a chicken cheesesteak. I don't eat red meat, so I made sure to not to the team member taking my order that I wanted chicken. She was super friendly and my order was ready within 10 minutes. I walked back to my off only to discover I was given a beef cheesesteak, which was a disappointment. I called, talked to the manager and asked for my order to be corrected and delivered. Within 15 minutes, Patrick the manager was in front of my office building with my order. He hand delivered my order and let me keep the beef sandwich, which I gave away. That's top tier customer service! read more

It's a pretty standard Deli but really only good for takeout since it is small and the seating area is really only serviceable as a waiting areas. I got a to-go of their "Capo's special." it was very, very good and DID NOT skimp on the meat! Totally worth the price and the flavors were on point. It wasn't in the best part of town and we did have a person with mental illness shout a lot of every kind of slur at us on our walk from the Metro. I don't hold this against the Deli, so do with that what you will. I give a minus on service because the girl I was ordering from did not know even the basics of the menu or what came on a given sub. The backroom is really neat and I did a separate review on that. read more

Although small, 10 people can enjoy their subs in the restaurant. On to the food... Can we stop and just talk about how freaking good their food is??? I am here sitting eating my sandwich in pure Heaven. Jose recommend the California Cheesesteak and he deserves a raise for recommending the BEST (I mean the absolute BEST) sandwich I've ever put my mouth on. I'm full off of half but I'm eating the rest as I type this! Let's talk about plating, how can you dress up a sandwich? Just like they did. Did you look at the picture? It's AMAZING!!!!!!!! Okay, let's talk about this amazing sandwich. The bread is toasted, with a touch of Mayo, veggies are fresh (lettuce/tomato) topped on steak and cheese!!! Perfection!!!!!!!

Great food but trouble with delivering the sammie. I ordered through DoorDash because I was working in our hotel room while hubs was at a job site. I had clients back to back so I wanted to order lunch and have it left at my hotel room door, contactless. Long story short, the delivery person screwed me, left my sandwich on a random table in the middle of the lobby. Great. I had to be late for my client due to taking 10 minutes to get downstairs to hopefully retrieve the food. When I finally was able to eat, OMG!!! I was so happy because this hero was very similar to the deli I was not able to visit when I was home for Christmas. I honestly could have devoured the entire hero but saved the other half for hubs. Speaking of, the hero was massive and I ordered the small! The bread was fresh. The meats were fresh. The dressing was crispy and flavorful. Next time we are in DC, I do want to stop in the deli to get a hero or two to go. Living in FL, it is very difficult to find a good deli hero. I was spoiled being in NYC with delicious delis and bodegas everywhere. read more

I wanted so badly to LOVE my Meatball Sub but I just couldn't...it simply wasn't good. To be more specific, the meatballs and marinara sauce were flavorless and there could've been more cheese. I also wasn't too crazy about the seeded Italian bread either. I had such high hopes! My online ordering experience was flawless as was my pickup. The brief exchange with the employee working tonight was pleasant. I have faith that I simply made a poor menu choice for my first Capo experience and other sandwich options will live up to the food porn hype in the future.

It was about 20 minutes between when I picked it up and when I ate it, and it didn't suffer at all. The cannoli was also good, I only wish it was bigger!

Great spot for some hand-made deli sandwiches, both hot and cold. We were looking to have a rooftop picnic at my daughter's new apartment complex, so we swung by for a mess of subs and some drinks for our meal. We ordered three large subs and they easily fed the five of us. The Italian combo sub on seeded Italian bread was slightly dry (the bread itself), but had a great mix of deli meats, provolone cheese and veggies. Wish there was some kind of dressing on it, but we used an available Italian salad dressing to jazz it up a bit. The Cuban sandwich was warm, pressed and filled with all the right stuff including sliced ham, thick slices of pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and slathered with yellow mustard. The cheesesteak was probably the best sandwich of the bunch served with thinly shaved (and grilled) beef topped with melty provolone cheese and grilled peppers and onions. Everyone enjoyed our feast as we cut-up all three subs so everyone had a hunk to sample. Great weather day for our rooftop meal, and the subs really hit the mark! read more
