Plus-a-star-to-five-stars update!
Il Capo is just seriously dreamy. The service is great. The food is phenomenal. I'm officially a fangirl for life.
We visited this past Saturday for an early (5:00 I think?) dinner. I had passed out for 2 hours after a HOT and HILLY half marathon (never again) and woke up ravenous. I wanted something to re-fill that calorie deficit. I wanted IL CAPO!
It was hard to decide on something other than pizza, since our first visit's pizza choices were so outstanding. But we explored the rest of the menu (we are so brave) and landed on: happy hour bruschetta (3 pieces for $2.95...delish!), eggplant parm for me, chicken parm for boyfriend. There was not even a crumb or swipe of sauce left on any plates. WIN.
Both our mains were outstanding but we both RAVED and fell in deep, real love with the side of pasta and marinara our dinners came with. Perfectly al dente pasta with homemade sauce topped with parsley and Parmesan...I know it sounds so simple but when it's done so perfectly words escape you, you know? Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. My wine was great. I slept like a bambino that night.
Il Capo, I've said it before, but thanks for being alive!
