    lobster linguine
    Josie

    Super cute restaurant with delectable food. I had the spicy lobster linguine and wish I could have it again! We also got a side of carrots and beets which were seasoned well and cooked to the perfect texture. The decor and ambiance make it a great spot for date night, though it does lean a bit on the noisier side.

    Service and ambiance were great! Nice environment with great food and drinks. Loves the vodka alla penne.

    You must go for their Sinatra Sunday! They have a great band performing from 5:30 to 8 in their downstairs area. It is a bit tight in there, especially if you are closer to the front, but it's a very lively space. Our server was very nice and as attentive as she could be with a packed house, but service dipped a bit as the night went on. The show had ended, and we had to wait another 20 minutes and hunt down our server to pay and be able to leave. The food, however, was delicious. I had the sausage cavatelli, and shared their calamari and bruschetta and really enjoyed it. I also liked their Rosato Spritz

    We had dinner before a night out downstairs and it was great! The bread is an absolute must... so yummy and warm. Fun ambiance and good service.

    Great Italian spot in Southie. You Definitely get a experience depending on the time of day you go, for example us on a Saturday night and it was packed line out the door filled your typical southie resident. To the service, waitress was super kind warning us food was taking a bit long that night, but there was hardly a noticeable delay in anything. Drinks at the table were a hit especially the espresso martinis. Garlic bread was great just wish had a second portion, and the calimari tasted fresh, interested fry to it but we all liked it. The biggest hit was the chicken parm, subbed for a spicy vodka sauce. Huge portion almost covered the plate, that they served the pasta on a second plate. Pasta was good, cooked al dente if that's your thing. Great atmosphere, love the looked and aesthetic. If I were to go back definitely would do a different time of day

    Buono! A beautiful Italian restaurant in Southie. Whoever designed this place did an excellent job with the mosaic tile floors, light fixtures and wood work to give it a modern "Al Capone era" vibe. My husband and I came here for an early dinner with friends. We started with calamari and meatballs. The calamari was fried in a very unique batter that I was not a fan of but everyone else at the table liked it. But I was a fan of the meatballs; large, soft and swimming in a delicious sauce! For my entree, I ordered the cacio e pepe. I always prefer long pasta over short, but this one was great regardless. My only complaint is I wish the portion size was bigger as I licked my plate clean! My husband ordered a pasta dish with something called "Sunday gravy" and it was phenomenal! I took one bite and immediately regretted not ordering the same thing! We will definitely be back :)

    Well. What a monumental failure tonight at Capo restaurant from our 5 star experience recently at their downstairs Supper Club. It was that experience that led me to suggest that we should dine upstairs to enjoy the same fine dining. The atmosphere was great. Lots of seating possibilities... we asked for a booth that had a table that didn't move, so we both narrowly slid in and just barely made it. Our waitress (Erin B) was quick to greet us and my wife had a chance to chat with the GM (Mike) prior to our ordering as she had met him at the Supper Club event a few Sundays ago. For a beverage, I ordered an Old Fashioned and my wife wanted a double Espresso. Decent, not great. My wife wanted to try some apps so she ordered two different from our last trip. Arancini and Chicken croquettes. Nicely presented but overcooked and not very hot upon arrival. Hmmm. So, they are known, and we were very much looking forward to the homemade pasta all made in house. Erin returned to take our Entree order. My wife (Italian) ordered "Clam scampi over linguine" and I spotted a new item we were told, a broiled Duck Breast with carrots, broiled potatoes and beets along with a side of pasta (spaghetti) with a butter sauce. Felt like a solid set of choices. As folks started arriving at 6-6:30, my wife mentioned that "doesn't it feel like a while since we ordered". I had my iPhone on the table taking pictures and noticed it was 25 minutes since we ordered. I was feeling like a Red Flag might be at work and caught Erin to check on our order. Within minutes later the food arrived. My wife started and I looked at my plate and the side order of pasta and everything was not hot, not warm and, the butter had solidified on my pasta. The duck was sliced poorly, but room temperature along with the pasta. Erin saw that I was having an issue and quickly offered to take it back in the kitchen for a fix. While I waited, my wife noted that hers was barely lukewarm but she continued. Both the duck and the pasta came back to the table and, it was only lukewarm at best. Erin noted that on Sunday, the head chef heads to the Supper Club to oversee the dinners being delivered and that his replacement was on duty. And she told us that others were sending food back. A floor manager came over asking if he could make it right and I agreed. He returned 5 minutes later and said "Chef just put my order in the 800 degree pizza oven??? What??? And I looked at the with great distain and burned my two fingers on the damn hot plate moving it closer. The duck and pasta were now burnt to shit. I was DONE NOW, having lost my appetite. I asked Erin to take it away (sorry no pictures of this since I was occupied trying to get a decent meal) and asked her to please get me a glass of Pinot and the dessert menu. My wife only had, maybe a third of her plate and I asked her what she thought about the dish... "maybe a 7, at best she said" and had no interest in eating any further. She wanted to leave. Erin felt really bad about our experience... suggesting that we come back "during the week days"!!!????? What???? The GM comped our (my) drinks and we had a $66 tab. Erin was great, left her a generous cash tip and squeezed our way out. The place was rocking as we left with people waiting to be seated and a HUGE take out service going on. So... don't go there on Sundays. Maybe we'll go back. A big maybe. Or try their sister restaurant "Capri" located in a different part of Boston. It's been over a decade since I sent my food back. It was a very bad experience. Try the Supper Club... that's where the best food is served on Sundays. Sadly... and still hungry tonight but some great leftovers in the fridge to heat up!!!

    I love the ambiance of Capo, especially during the Christmas time. It's moody, cozy, and lively. I came for the all you can eat pasta on a Wednesday night = $32 for bottomless pasta that most of their pasta menu (waygu and lobster pasta are a surcharge). Most pastas at capo range from $24-28 so for the price i think this is a pretty good deal. The kitchen was slammed upon arrival and service was preoccupied but overall i still think they were relatively efficient given the demand. None of the pastas really blew my mind, personal favorites were the tortellini, shrimp scampi, and Bolognese - but thought everything else was just alright. I do think for the size and flavor if i were to order any of these dishes at regular price I would be a bit disappointed. We made it through four rounds before tapping out. Overall a fun experience but I wouldn't expect stellar food.

    Everything nice and in the back an espresso martini

    I visited Capo with my cousin this spring and it was nice. We went on a Thursday. Food & beverage: I got the Everything Nice drink which was good. I ordered the 14 oz prime strip which was well cooked, the flavour was nice but it felt like it was missing something. I subbed crispy potatoes instead of the original polenta. The potatoes are good and the aioli was nice but I didn't want to use so much that it made the dish too heavy. The black garlic demi was both flavourful but too sweet for my taste. Many aspects of this meal felt like it was reliant on the sauces to add flavour. You want each component to be delicious on its own and the sauces to help lift the meal not be the reason why the dish tastes really good. I would like to return to try more menu items as there may be an item that I have an even better experience with. Service: Pretty good service but due to servers supporting multiple tables and the noise level and music it's hard to get their attention. Ambiance: Dimly lit, nice tables and decoration. Some booth/table seating are closely arranged that if you hope to have a conversation with another person it's hard to hear. Parking: There's a public lot nearby but it was totally full. We had to find street parking which took a bit of time so walking or taking an Uber/Lyft might be your best bet. I would return and might try earlier in the week to see if it's less noisy. It's worth trying.

    Came here for brunch with a group of 9. The place was empty when we arrived, and seating by the windows was cold so we asked to be moved. The staff was accommodating and closed them. I ordered the Rib Eye & Eggs, it was very good (though I was starving, so maybe that helped!). Tried the Bloom mocktail, which was sweet and tasty, but a little inconsistent since the three of us who ordered it all got different looking drinks, some with ice some without. My only complaint is my drink took about 15-20 minutes to arrive while everyone else was almost done enjoying theirs. On the plus side, the bathroom was very chic and clean. Overall, a solid brunch spot.

    My significant other and I went last week for restaurant week and since he has never been before. It was moderately busy and still plenty of seating. The dim lighting creates an intimate and relaxing ambiance that we really enjoy. Our waitress was very attentive and kind, she made sure to check in on if we needed anything and filling our waters. For food we got complimentary bread with dipping oil, housemade ricotta, carbonara arancini, penne alla vodka, and 6 oz prime filet. The bread and dipping oil were good, we loved that the bread was warm. The housemade ricotta was delicious; however, my only personal complaint was the smokey taste of the sourdough that isn't my favorite. The carbonara arancini was soooo good and had a little kick to it. My significant other devoured his steak and mashed potatoes, he really enjoyed it. My penne alla vodka was good, but not the best. I would probably order a different pasta dish next time. As for dessert, we both ordered the torta di chocolate which was rich in flavor and a perfect way to end the meal! Just a note to keep in mind that on Tuesdays it is gluten free and trivia at Capo.

    The service can be a bit on the slow side, but the food and vibes really makes up for it. Portions are generous, and the seafood tastes fresh -- the shrimp cocktail in particular is massive and definitely a standout. I was also pleasantly surprised by their Pumpkin Spice Latte-tini, which was a perfect seasonal drink and easily a 10/10.

    another tiktok find - the restaurant is very very dark so if this isnt ur vibe u wont like this. went on a friday night, hostess was very accommodating and moved reservation when we ran late. we got the meatballs and caesar salad for apps- both were delicious. dinner came out in 30 minutes but for some reason it was ice cold. that was disappointing but food was still good. we had to flag down three separate people for parm cheese and another drink for 20 minutes. probably wont be back but it was good for the night

He…read morecame to get us after just 5 minutes but the seats were at the bar but stools did not have backs so we declined. He said give me a minute. He rearranged the table settings and got my friend and I a table for 2. Then our server came over and gave an overview of the place. We asked about the chilled red wine. He brought us 2 tastings. We loved. Proceeded to order 2 burgers, fries and grilled carrots. The food was amazing. Given the most welcoming greeting and service, coupled with delicious food, I could not recommend this place any more. Truly a gem in Southie!

    You must order the kale salad. I am not a kale salad person, yet I have dined here three times in…read morethe last week to eat the kale salad and am already planning my next visit. You know when you're eating a kale salad and the pieces are too big and you're kind of cramming them into your mouth and then the salad dressing is all over your face? This is NOT that salad! The kale is perfectly chopped so you can enjoy it with just your fork as you talk to your friend/spouse/date or just read your book. The dressing is such perfection, and the perfect amount, no gloopiness here! Crunchy breadcrumbs add magical texture and then there's a shower of finely grated gouda cheese on top. Have you ever read a good book and as you're reading it, you're so into it that you don't want it to end? So you slow down your reading speed to make it last a little longer? That's how I feel about this salad. There are other delicious items on the menu, I saw someone eating the burger that looked so good, I also want to try the Brussels but the call of the salad siren is too strong. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, especially Catherine, and the kitchen team even shared the dressing recipe with me. Excellent wine list, casual and cozy space with twinkle lights, a lot of bar/counter seating, great date spot. Also attached/sister company to American Provisions I believe (great spot in Southie for sandwiches, cheeses, wines, pastries, rare food items).

The ricotta toast was pretty and slightly sweet with fresh peas and pickled red onions. Arancini was deeply fried and delicious. Pizza margarita was perfect. Pasta was good but a bit overcooked. Steak frites was a bit bland and needed some salt. Frites were very basic fries, unevenly cooked. Not quite perfect but I would absolutely come back and stick to cocktails, appetizers, and pizzas. It was so fun and such a gorgeous place. Also, we found lots of easy street parking.

    Is this place French? Italian? New American? Anyway it's in southie with typical Southie parking…read moreso take an uber. Once you are inside, though, it's special. The space is undeniably beautiful with a feminine and Parisian design. Even on a packed night, the noise level was surprisingly manageable. A huge part of the vibe was our server, Cait. She was incredible. She managed to be attentive without hovering and was genuinely friendly. She made the night feel even more special. Here is the breakdown: * Charred Scallion Dip (4/5): Good portion for sharing with kettle chips but needs more onion flavor. * Prosciutto Arancini (3/5): $20 for four tiny balls is a tough sell so I would skip these. * Fried Artichokes (5/5): Actually the best appetizer we ordered. * Brussels Sprouts (4/5): The new hot honey prep is tasty but serving them on top of blue cheese made it a bit too busy. * Classic Caesar (5/5): Lot of anchovy flavor in the dressing makes this elite. * Butternut Squash Ravioli (6/10): very sweet. This is for you if your like sweet or want dessert. * Margherita Pizza (5/5): dough is fantastic they must make it from scratch and that stands out. * Sweet Sausage Pizza (5/5): Just as good as the margherita and proves the pizza program here is legit. * Skillet Cookie (5/5): You can never go wrong with a warm skillet cookie. * Palm Negroni (5/5): I wanted more coconut initially but the balance actually ends up being perfect. * Espresso Martini (4/5): Solid and not too sweet considering there is no actual espresso in it. * Eros Sour (5/5): Unique and balanced. The food is generally strong, but the pricing on some of the small plates feels off, especially that arancini. The pizzas are a real stand out. Bathroom Review: There are two single stall gender neutral restrooms with baby changing stations. They are very clean. Loved the floor tile and they stock high quality paper towels.
