I do not enjoy this place. When it first opened, it was great but each subsequent time has been unpleasant. IMO, the portions are much too big and the prices (for the quality you get) are way too high. Last time I went and got the filet, it was so awful I spit it out. The service is slow. I mean like 30 minutes waiting on a check slow. If they would curate their menu to a few special items and go back to super fresh food I'd consider trying again. As for now save your money and drive up to SJ or Carmel and get QUALITY food. read more

My first visit to this restaurant was for breakfast on a Tuesday mid morning. My friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant. The place seemed to have a weird vibe, however the food was decent. There was a very large portrait on the wall that seemed out of place for an eating establishment. The server seemed confused at times, I'm not sure if this was because there seemed to be a bit of a language barrier. read more

I had the worst experience of my life at this place right before Christmas! I would give it zero stars if there were an option. I ordered my food through Uber Eats and went to pick it up myself. When I arrived, the lady at the counter told me that someone else had already picked up my order. I was shocked. How could that happen? Did they have proof that someone could randomly take my order? She simply replied, "I don't know; it's not here. Someone else picked it up." Then she looked around and eventually found my order but refused to give it to me. I showed her my order history from my Uber Eats app and my account name, yet she still wouldn't hand it over. I asked her to cancel the order if she didn't want to give it to me, but she refused again. She still needss more prove. I stood there, not knowing what to do, until a DoorDash pick up guy came in and she even told that guy to talk to me. I showed the guy my order history and I told her that I was not using DoorDash and that I didn't have the same receipt. I repeatedly showed her my order history and my Uber Eats account name. I felt like a fool trying to convince her I wasn't trying to steal someone else's meal. I almost cried. Finally, the DoorDash driver explained to her that it was a different receipt for Uber Eats. At last, she handed my order to me. I can't help but wonder if she was treating me this way because of my race. I have never been so embarrassed in my life, and I will never order from or visit this place again. It ruined my holiday mood completely! read more

The food was incredible. I got the carbonara which had very nice al dente noodles that are hard to compare anything I've tried to. The sauce was hella creamy and the bacon added just enough flavor to not be overpowering. The calamari was delicious and both dips were tasty. My gf got the lasagna and it was so thick and creamy with lots of meat and the fresh mozzarella in it and on it was fire. The cheesy bread it came with was perfect for dipping into the marinara that surrounded the whole dish. Prices are a reflection of the quality for sure at this place. We'll be back read more

Went there last night for dinner. Dinner was over salted. They forgot my salad, they forgot to serve our appetizer (Calamari) before the dinner. So had to ask to cancel. They ended giving it to us still, for free. But too salty for our liking. I asked for a glass of Cabernet. Got a glass of Rosè. read more

I really wanted to love this place because we don't have a lot of Italian options here in Hollister, but the food was very salty, and we all felt a little bit sick afterwards probably because of the salt. read more

How do you mess up an easy order of cinnamon banana pancakes w a side order of hash browns? Send pancakes with berries and whipped cream and leave off the hash browns you paid 6$ for. Don't include syrup too, since that's not common with pancakes... This place has turned into a joke since new ownership has taken over. Previous orders have been bad as well but, I gave them a few chances to improve. Chances are done... McDonalds next door will give you what you ask for. read more

Service was prompt and super friendly. Loved the bread service, which is hard to find these days. Everything was delicious. Will return for sure. read more

I received RAW CHICKEN here at two separate occasions! I gave them a second chance but this place is awful. Everything is sub par yet extremely expensive. This is not quality Italian food. I honestly don't think it qualifies as authentic Italian cuisine. You'd think for the prices it would be quality. NASTY food posing as Italian food. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK OR SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO OUT OF TOWN FOR QUALITY AND SAFE FOOD. read more

Capo Signora - Chicken Parmesan. The picture doesn't do it justice. Pink juices ran out. The Chicken piccata was even worse. - Italian Near Me - Hollister, California

I came here with a friend a few weeks ago with high hopes. Upon walking in we were not greeted at all until I finally said something. It was not busy when we went but the wait staff were more concerned about their gossip. As we were seated we were informed about their Friday appetizer deal of $2 off so we ordered two. I ordered the meraviglie del mare soup which on their website and on the menu was $28. When we got our check I had questions as to why $4 was added to my meal. To me it's a scam they offer a $2 discount for appetizers yet add the difference to your meal. The food was not that great it lacked a lot of flavor and spices. The kitchen staff had their music super loud so it took away from the ambiance. The big picture of the owner is tacky in my opinion but then again the name of the restaurant in Italian is boss lady/lady boss so there's a sense of entitlement. I did provide some honest suggestions to provide tools to get the crab meat out as it was the messiest part of the meal. I do a lot of crab boils as we are a fishing family and I have never had that hard of a time trying to get the meat out of the shell. It was super mushy so I left a lot of the crab aside. I was really expecting a five star experience especially with the renovations done to this place but honestly with the scam of adding more money to a meal to make up the difference of an appetizer special just doesn't fly for me. I will never go back to this place because the people of Hollister are hard working and don't deserve to be blind sided like that. Note to owner train your staff properly. When I mentioned the price difference your staff was rude and arrogant. It wasn't about the money it's about the principle. read more

I got the calabreze pasta and asked if they could give it to me with spaghetti noodles and they were very accommodating! It was delicious the sauce was pretty thin but when i added cheese it thickened. Flavor was really good! Partner got the carbonara pasta same thing with the sauce quite thin but he loved it. We got the tiramasu at the end it was SUPER good! Staff was great waitress was young i think training wasnt sure how to use the phone for ordering but very nice and attentive. Only thing I would say the huge picture of the owner is a bit weird with the setting & the bathrooms had blood and poop on the seats.. and door handle. other than the bathroom.. clean place. read more

First things first, if you are going to open an Italian restaurant, research Italian restaurants. Walk inside the ambience is great however, the hostess is not so great. The drinks basically filled our table before the food even came, the tables are tiny, even though there's plenty of space. They give you complementary bread, but instead of it being toasted, it just seemed stale. The calamari was good but the entire time we were having lunch you could hear the waitstaff, talking and music playing from their phones. Food was decent but again hard to hold a conversation when they're talking louder than you. We ordered tiramisu, and they brought the wrong dessert out. Fail fail, and more fail. Overall, it was Hollister special. Won't come back again :( especially since the price of the food was so high!! read more

Tried Capo Signora last night and it was great. We had a party of three - the waiter was very attentive, friendly, and gave us great service. Ordered a panini, a carbonara, and spaghetti and meatballs - everyone had great things to say about their meals. Portion size was good - Will definitely go back and try some of their other menu offerings. read more

Capo Signora - Carbonara Pasta was REAAAALLLLYY good. - Italian Near Me - Hollister, California

This place has the worst food and service ever their steak is tougher than a leather boot

This was our 2nd time dining at Capo Signora, I've tried the chicken carbonara, grilled chicken panini, clam chowder, calamari while my husband tried the lasagna, pepperoni pizza and the enselada fresca. I highly recommend this restaurant, definitely try this family run restaurant. Everything we tried was amazing, the sauces are homemade and creamy, the clam chowder was divine, you can not go wrong trying their desserts as well, we've had the cheesecake and their chocolate mousse came, we found our favorite restaurant in Hollister! read more

We had an unexpected family get together this past Sunday and boy did we get the party going with Capo Signora, they completed our dinner for us, without hesitation. We called in a panic but the young lady that answers assured us they could help, we ordered several orders of Lasagne, Alfredo, and several salads with bread and also they added some cheese bread, everything was tasty and hot, we really cannot thank them enough for taking care of our party on such short notice. We highly recommend and will be back soon. Amazing customer service, very clean restaurant and such awesome food. read more

Beyond disgusting. Zero flavor. Drenched in oil. Way overpriced. Do better. This isn't Italian food.

I was given raw chicken parm. The waiter just said "sorry about that" and walked away. . We left and never went back.

The quality of food does not justify the price. $12 for an Italian soda is ridiculous, we came not knowing there were new owners. We were going to leave but decided to stay. My daughter did love her chicken Alfredo, but I couldn't even eat my New York steak. My husband liked his pasta but we came in for the old menu--the old restaurant. Service was friendly and prompt, the food was just not great. read more

This was my first time getting take out from this restaurant. My husband ordered take out here once before on the opening day. I ordered the Calabrese pasta and husband ordered the Lasagna. The Calabrese was flavorful with a bit spice, which I like. It had the right amount of sauce, not overly sauced and not dry. The Lasagna sauce was rich and meaty like a bolognese. The lasagna itself was cheesy and saucy with multiple layers. I tried a couple of bites and thought it tasted really good. The portions were pretty big. I'm eating the other half of the Calabrese for lunch. Husband said he could've shared his lasagna but he didn't, he ate it all and enjoyed a food coma. Also we picked up our order 20 minutes after ordering. Not bad, not bad at all. read more

The food was excellent, customer service was very nice and attentive. The music was relaxing and overall was a great experience.

Terrible. Weird decor. Food was soggy and nasty. Wine was old. Typical Hollister dining experience.

Such a nice addition to Hollister. Fresh, delicious food. Good ambiance, and amazing service! Great first time experience for my family and I. (Also deserts are amazing) read more

Been there for a dinner and breakfast. Very happy with the service, food and atmosphere. I would have given 5 stars but we went for dinner and you were out of ice cream! Went for breakfast and you were out of sourdough bread! Love your hours. I was happy you opened, I sure hope the last owner of the Italian restaurant has no interest in this place and ruin it! read more

My chaps and I had heard through the grapevine, about this brand new Italian restaurant in the Hollister area. When we arrived to the restaurant we were greeted by this wonderful waitress, I believe her name was Yahira. After greeting us with the most heartwarming and welcoming smile she helped explain the various courses and types of food on the menu. It was a splendid environment that was only reinforced by the feel of the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant was quite astounding, the lighting, the decorations felt very at place with the theme of the restaurant and my chaps and I felt rather comfortable. We were even seated next to a portrait of the owner, the "Boss Lady" as the restaurant is called. The restaurant just exuded from every orifice the love care and passion the owner has put into it. I've been rambling on too long let me get to the food. I know I'm a rather petite fellow but my appetite is ravenous, so I ordered numerous meals to not only satisfy my raging hunger, but to get a proper feel of the food as well. I ordered the pancakes de ricotta the hash browns, bacon, and eggs. The food was scrumptious, I left no sliver, no morsel of food on that plate. Every calorie that was presented to my face was consumed in an unrivaled fury by my mouth. The end result looked like a vacant apartment after evicting a single mother of 4. Although most would be satisfied with this meal I knew I had to try to more Italian centered portion of the menu. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo as it's a staple of every Italian restaurant. When I tell you from the moment I bit into the first forkful my Italian ancestors possessed my body and flowed through me just to experience Italian food this good. After obliterating the fettuccine, I looked at my hands and I found them in this configuration. Now to the uncultured this is often referred to as the Italian hands. The fact that my body on its own formed this after experiencing such a splendid dining experience Rutherford reinforces how good this restaurant is. 10/10 would recommend. read more

If you're thinking of trying something new, don't! Stick to what you know. I gave this place a chance, and boy, was I wrong. I ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich, and my husband went for the ravioli. While we were waiting, the server came back to tell us they ran out of ravioli. He picked something else, but then she returned a minute later saying, "Oh, we found some ravioli!" So, he changed his order back. When the food arrived, the presentation was just awful. My chicken looked like it had been boiled, and they served it on a hot dog bun not exactly what I expected for a chicken parm. The ravioli dish was even worse five tiny raviolis, a watery sauce with no flavor. The ambiance didn't help either. The place had these harsh white fluorescent lights that made it feel unwelcoming, and there was a huge, strange picture on the wall of a woman holding a flower. It was like something out of a weird shrine not exactly the vibe I was hoping for during Dinner. The only positive was the Corona beer it was nice and cold, which I appreciated. The server was nice, but honestly, after paying for the meal, we just left the food behind. I won't be coming back. read more

Waitress should learn the menu and English and not respond to everything with "I'm sorry I busy" in an empty restaurant walked in on a Sunday at 635 with 2 tables who already ordered. First time since ownership change in here and way downhill. Been here 30 minutes and still haven't been asked if I want anything to drink besides water... Oh by the way we are white but my wife speaks fluent Spanish so when you were talking shit to the cooks because we sendt back the 2 undercooked entrees with unmelted cheese she could understand everything. Used to be top tier Italian will never be back. read more

Capo Signora - Margherita Pizza - Italian Near Me - Hollister, California

This place is an improvement 100%. Open from 7am to Midnight. Great breakfast and there food is very good.

The food was the worse Italian I have ever tried, was it Italian? Over salted, acidic, cold and under cooked carrots in Lasagna and pasta. The service was bare minimum. The ambiance was out of a random selection of furniture, bright white light on a dark floors and stained walls. This restaurant needs new owners read more

Don't bother going here. The food isn't worth the price which is over priced. $25 for lasagna is robbery. The pizza selection is very limited. The pizza was doughy and almost under cooked. It was no better than frozen pizza dough. Not what I expect from a restaurant. The minestrone soup tasted as if it was made from pizza sauce. It's lit up like Vegas in there too...way too bright for dinner. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Have you ever been to a restaurant and thought "well...that was edible but I don't ever need to come back" ? That's this place. Food was a couple of notches below Olive Garden quality, the olive oil and balsamic served with the bread were the best part of the whole meal, the bread served with it seamed stale. I've had better Alfredo from a jar. So why two stars and not just one? The atmosphere was nice. read more

I suspect our server was inexperienced - likely resulting in all the negatives of our experience. The young lady who greeted us was welcoming and gave us our choice of tables. Now in our 70s we eat light and ordered a Caesar salad and pizza to share. The young man who took our order was not aware vegetarian pizza was on the menu and fumbled with our special order of tomato sauce instead of pesto. Our salad came in a single bowl (expected) but we were not offered plates to facilitate sharing. More problematic was that the salad was swimming in dressing (good flavor). I like much more dressing than my wife and this was way too much for me. I can't say if this is typical or an error. At the restaurant I worked in 50 years ago, servers prepared the salads so, if an error, likely the server's. Our pizza (tasted ok - but might have been better with pesto sauce) came without plates. I never saw our server again and could not catch the eye of the young lady serving other tables. It has always seemed that the first thing servers are taught is NEVER look at a customer at a table not in your station. read more

Complimentary bread and oil was the best part of the meal by far. Service was spotty, the server was the most attentive she'd been the whole night when she was closing out the check. It wasn't busy either, it was a weekend night and we were one of only a few tables. The main course was not great, slightly worse than what you would get from the grocery store freezer section. Two of us ordered the same dish (lasagna) and the tomato sauce was very salty and sour, additionally my portion was 2-3 times smaller than the portion of the other person. Their dish resembled lasagna while mine looked like lasagna soup almost. The interior is very brightly lit and feels slightly like a women's clothing store. It may be nicer if they dimmed the lights and made it more comfortable. Would only go back for the bread and oil. read more

Ordered a to go order. Was told on the app it would be ready at a certain time. When I got there I had to wait another 20 mins or so. I figured that could be a good sign or bad sign. We ordered cannolis, breaded shrimp, clam chowder, lasagna, and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. What was good was the clam chowder, breaded shrimp and cannolis. My boyfriend said the lasagna tasted like there was too much wine in the sauce. The fettuccine, was dry and not seasoned, almost like they forgot salt, pepper, sauce and Cajun seasoning. I might come back but only for the clam chowder, breaded shrimp and cannolis. read more
