    I was skeptical as the Yelp reviews don't reflect Capo in the best light...but you know what? I had a generally great experience. We came for Wednesday night bingo in the supper club. Bingo was a total blast (even though I didn't come close to winning--not even once). On Wednesdays they also do bottomless pasta...which allegedly is only allowed upstairs. So I had chicken piccata and my bf had bottomless pasta (hope no one gets in trouble) The portion of chicken piccata was large and it was delicious. I would 100% come back for the chicken piccata. I obviously tasted each of the pastas my bf ordered. The pasta itself is homemade and fabulous. Some of the sauces were over seasoned. Overall, a great way to try a little of everything and a great deal. I used to go to Olive Garden in college for the never ending pasta bowl and this feels like the grownup version. The service was extremely slow. But we were playing bingo (which started late). It goes to show that if you offer the proper distraction, certain service factors become less important! We arrived right at 6:30 and no one was there. The basement filled up over the next 30 min. It was dark, but just a fun and chill vibe. Im looking forward to going back.

    So pleasantly surprised with Capo! I've know Capo for being a fun bar to go out at, but this is the first time I've been able to try the food. As a sister restaurant to Prima I had high expectations and it definitely met those expectations. We tried three apps the calamari, honeybuns, and Arancini. They were all very good, a must is the arancini and the honeybuns they were delish. The Calamari breading was fantastic but the calamari itself was a little chewy. Our mains were all very good I had the salmon and it was such a unique flavor I really loved it. The penne al la vodka was also excellent one of the best I've had in boston, top it with Burrata. The chicken Marsala was huge, it was delish, but I definitely don't think you need pasta with it, it didn't really add anything. Overall great dinner!

    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.

    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

    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!!!

    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.

    Short rib Alfredo Casarecce
    Grace S.

    I really like Capo - the food is consistently delicious every time I go, this time was a little different. We got the Sicilian Oregano Ciabatta to start - I will say that this normally comes out better, the basil pesto was just straight grinded up basil with no real flavor (it used to come with a chickpea dip that was amazing) so that was a bit disappointing. We also got the meatball appetizer which was good but nothing to write home about. I will start with the Shortrib Alfredo Casacrecce - I enjoyed the Alfredo sauce but the short rib was just one piece on top, I would have preferred it more incorporated in the dish. Then we got the Rigatoni Bolognese which you can never really go wrong with a Bolognese so that was an 8/10. For entrees, we got the Scallops Saltimbocca - I did not try that as I am not a seafood person but the table said it was good. Now for the star of the show ... the Brick Chicken was AMAZING - such good flavor, great portion size and they should never take this off the menu. For drinks we just did wine so nothing too crazy to review on. My only complaint every time I go here is that is overpriced for the portion sizes you are getting.

    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.

    oh. em. gee. best pasta i've ever had in my life…read more i was looking online for an italian restaurant and this came up multiple times. first off, the interior is gorgeous, plush green seats and antique style. we ordered their special items of the night: lobster risotto and the vodka veal. genuinely the best risotto i've ever had. the people online were not lying when they said their vodka rigatoni was the best. it was indeed very very delicious. even though all of us were full from the pasta, we still had to get tiramisu. it was a perfect way to end the meal. our server was great and attentive, thank you for a wonderful meal.

My guess is that this is more of an evening destination where people come for cocktails and the atmosphere rather than lunch. We ordered a Diet Coke, the Scampi appetizer, Carbonara, and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. The scampi was easily the best part of the meal. It was flavorful, cooked well, and made for a nice appetizer to start things off. Unfortunately, the pastas didn't quite meet expectations, especially considering the price. The Rigatoni Alla Vodka was $28, but the pasta wasn't cooked al dente and felt overdone. The Carbonara, also $28, was disappointing as the eggs had curdled and the dish ended up being much oilier than I expected. At $18, the scampi was enjoyable, but overall I don't think the food justified the price point. One bright spot was the service. Our waitress was incredibly kind, checked in on us frequently, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a very aesthetic design. I can definitely see why it's popular on social media. There is also outdoor seating, which I imagine would be a nice option on a warm summer evening. One thing I did notice, though, is how closely the tables are spaced together. Since the restaurant was mostly empty during our visit it wasn't an issue, but I could see it feeling crowded and fairly loud once the dining room fills up. I was honestly surprised by the meal because Gigi is part of the Mazi Restaurant Group, and I've really enjoyed some of their other concepts, especially Kava Neo-Taverna. Based on this experience, though, I think there are plenty of Italian restaurants in Boston that offer better food and better value for the same price. Overall, I'd give Gigi 3/5 stars. The service and atmosphere were both strong, but the food didn't live up to the pricing. If I came back, it would probably be for drinks, appetizers, and the ambiance rather than a full Italian dinner.

The bread had large air pockets, visibly soft, with a rich aroma of salt and milk; the olive oil was smooth and mellow, with a full-bodied fragrance, and the aftertaste even included a subtle, restrained hint of tea. Even knowing it's a calorie bomb, I couldn't resist dipping it in more. Baccala Mantecato: Classic Venetian flavor. The salted cod was tender and delicate, almost like a light foam, somewhere between raw silk and mousse; the dark bread was simple yet not coarse, perfectly balancing the saltiness of the cod. The most surprising thing was the refreshing aroma of celery leaves that emerged in the aftertaste, lingering and persistent. Lumache: When looking at the menu, seeing "chili butter, Jonah crab, breadcrumb," I never expected such a distinct citric acidity. The subtle acidity was gently enveloped in the fatty aroma of chili butter, perfectly complementing the umami and sweetness of the crab meat with just the right amount of spiciness. The lumache were firm and chewy, the sauce rich and smooth, and the breadcrumbs light and crisp, creating a rich and distinct texture. The portion was generous; even after microwaved the next day, the sauce had naturally broken down and the lemon's tartness had dissipated, but the noodles mixed with chili oil still had a unique flavor. Tiramisu: Highly renowned, and the staff were quite confident. The surface was covered with a thick layer of crispy cocoa nibs, the cake itself is incredibly soft and moist, and digging inside reveals an "underground river" of coffee liquid, while its bitterness was perfectly balanced by the sweet Marsala. The overall flavor was sweet and mellow, less bitter than typical tiramisu, with more layers of complexity. Actually, I was hoping for a slightly bitter version. Even on a weekday, it was packed with customers; by 5:10 PM, only one bar seat was left. Reservations are highly recommended. However, the bar was in a good location, with the bartenders being the easiest servers to find. It was a pleasant conversation with them.

    Pros: The prices are a lot more reasonable than most places in Boston, portions on the main courses…read moreare big (enough to take leftover). The service is so friendly and seamless which in itself makes for a lovely evening. Highlights were the mussels, which were very fresh and delicious. The service here was attentive with the waiters offering more bread for the mussels. Most dishes are a little spicy, so if you don't like spice, make sure to note that with the waiter. The miso gelato is one of the most delicious savory/sweet desserts, and has lots of nice crunchy accents of the sesame crumble. Cocktails are fabulous, very smooth, as well as the mocktails. Cons: The crostini was nothing really special, and one of them came without the oyster butter. The meatballs, which were tasty but had a slightly hard texture on the outside. The prawn risotto was pretty one-note in flavor, and the prawn heads tasted overcooked and slightly off. The radiatore was spicy and nicely plated. The Cremoso al Cioccolato had a strange flavor profile that didn't quite fit, and had such a large salted chocolate-truffle section that we did not finish it (which is saying something)! Overall, if you are looking for a solid dinner in Boston that will guarantee be a nice experience because of the atmosphere, this is a good place.

    I would give Mida 3.5 stars if I could. I enjoyed the ambiance especially for a dinner out with my…read morefriends. Our waitress definitely impacted my experience. I'm not sure if she was new, but the overall interaction seemed awkward and as if she didn't want to be bothered. I really enjoyed the sorrento spritz, which was surprising because I typically don't like grapefruit flavor. The drink was very refreshing and I also appreciate paying only $6 for a mocktail (places tend to overcharge). My favorite appetizer was the arancini. It was fried well and flavorful. The caesar salad was also great. The calamari were okay, but nothing special and they he focaccia was tasty, but I wish it was a little softer. For my entree I ordered the cacio e pepe gnocchi, which was also just okay in my opinion. I was looking for a bolder flavor, but unfortunately I didn't get that.

The burrata was so fresh and delicious with the perfect amount of crunch with the pine nuts! I loved the crostinis so much they brought us more-- the pesto is AMAZING and if you love the fresh taste of olive oil and pine nuts, yum! We ordered the short braised rib lasagna and my husband had the toasted chicken. Both impeccable but mine was better! They made our night by bringing me a deconstructed version of tiramisu which was also delicious and the espresso was poured over it and so warm and fresh! The customer service and ambiance was truly amazing and for Boston in late July? We had the best experience! Highly recommend!
