The hours use to be limited and only open 3 days a week so this visit came highly anticipated and didn't disappoint. From the cashier/host Kiara and only Ryan they were knowlegable, well spoken and good hosts. This is as good as it gets on Lake Street in Downtown Miller Beach and comes highly recommended. Support small owned and local business's like this fine establishment.

This was one of the best dining experiences I've had. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and presented beautifully. The restaurant itself was very clean, and the staff was quick to make sure we had everything we needed.

Great food and service in a neat little local spot! The fragrance when we walked in the door set the stage for a great meal.

Order there early, they make things fresh daily and when they run out, you're out of luck. I love the side cabbage and jerk chicken.

Not that we don't like pretentious restaurants, lol but it's nice to sit down and have a nice meal and not feel like you have to be fancy. The food is solid here. The only thing I would have them improve on is the pizza. But I am a huge pizza snob, so I'm kinda hard to please when it comes to pizza ‍

A Disappointing Birthday Dinner -- Poor Service, Confusing Charges, and No Hospitality…read more I recently visited Cappo's Italian Restaurant in Portage, Indiana, with my husband and stepdaughter to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant evening turned into a very disappointing experience. I was born in New York City and have traveled extensively around the world, enjoying Italian cuisine in many different places. I appreciate good food, but I also believe that hospitality and customer service are just as important. I ordered a 10-inch gluten-free cauliflower vegetable pizza, which was extremely underwhelming and lacked flavor. My husband ordered the cod fish dinner, and my stepdaughter and I shared a New York cheesecake for dessert. I only had one bite of the cheesecake, but it was good. The real frustration began when the bill arrived. My pizza was listed at $13.99, with additional charges for every individual vegetable topping. Before ordering, I specifically asked our waitress, Donna, whether there was a price difference for the gluten-free pizza, and she told me no. Yet the bill reflected charges I had not expected. When I questioned the bill, I spoke with an older blonde hostess, who said she would check with the manager. She returned a couple of minutes later and told me the bill was correct. Shortly afterward, Donna came back and acknowledged that the bill was wrong. She went to speak with her boss, and after approximately 10 minutes, she never returned to explain what had happened. Instead, the hostess simply dropped off the bill. No explanation, no apology, and no effort to make things right. Beyond the food and billing issues, the overall atmosphere was unpleasant. The staff appeared unhappy, rushed, and irritated. There were no welcoming smiles or warmth. At one point, a waitress dropped a tray of water, and my husband got wet. She simply continued walking without even offering an apology. I understand restaurants get busy and mistakes happen. However, courtesy, professionalism, and accountability should never be optional. What disappointed me most was that this was my birthday dinner. I wasn't expecting special treatment, just a good meal, honest pricing, and a welcoming environment where my family and I could enjoy our time together. A restaurant's success isn't just about getting customers through the door; it's about giving them a reason to return. Unfortunately, Cappo's gave me none. I will not be returning, and I sincerely hope management takes customer service and hospitality more seriously in the future.

Inside, there is unique artwork on the walls and lots of tables as well. There are no frills when it comes to the menu delivering simple but high-quality sandwiches. The kind employee told us that the only bagels remaining at around 1 pm were chocolate chip, cinnamon, and onion. I tried the onion bagel with zaatar and jalapeño topped cream cheese, scrambled eggs, tomato, and cucumber. The bagel was the star of the show being soft on the inside and toasted to perfection at the edges with the perfect dough to crust ratio. My boyfriend loved the Cajun seasoned fries as well. Would highly recommend this phenomenal spot with reasonable prices and stellar bagels! We will be making a stop in the future!

They are perfectly chewy and yet not overly crunchy, the right texture and so fluffy! I could also not believe how many options they had for both bagel flavors and cream cheese flavors. We went several times - enough to get a free one with our loyalty card - and we were only there a few days! I had both the Russian and the Zatar bagel with spreads and loved the variety of flavor. You can add other items and I had tomato and cucumber on mine to make it more sandwich like...hi h makes my mouth water just writing this about them! Our friends tried sandwiches (house made Rosemary focaccia) and breakfast sandwiches as well as house made English muffins...yum! As a birthday treat we were also given a free bagel sandwich for our friend's 50th which was super sweet. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and cheery, which also brought us back. If in the area then for sure stop in as many times as possible, you won't retreat it!

Glad I made the trip and checked this place out! Absolutely delicious and very generous portions. I had the Bronx plate and it was fantastic! Layered with rice onions peppers steak and gyro and topped with NY sauce. Accompanied with lettuce tomato and sliced pitta bread. This dish was really enjoyable and so unique. To find a gem like this serving food this unique in northwest Indiana is rare. I can't comment if this is the best version of this type of meal having never tried something like it before, but I found it to be absolutely delicious. I will be a repeat customer after this experience. Other things I can mention, the gentleman behind the counter was nice and friendly. There is a few small 2 person tables if you want to dine in, but it's mainly a carry out place in my opinion. The wait time was not very long. Definitely cooked to order and fresh.
