| - I originally visited to kill time before a movie. I was by myself, so sat at the bar. And I kept it small, so I could run back to the theater after killing some time with a lil wine. I had a glass of wine & the bruschetta. The bruschetta was great - very fresh ingredients and the balsamic was just the right sweetness. And even though the food was great, I really noticed how personal the service felt. I truly felt like I was waiting for my movie with a new friend, thanks to the bartender who looked after me, Antonia. So, I visited again in the following weekends, pre- or post-movie and ordered pasta meals rather than just appies. Gnocchi was the first I had, as that's my fav pasta - theirs didn't disappoint me. The texture was perfect - not gloppy and the sauce was nice and rich. Next I tried the spaghetti and meatballs - loved it. I actually ate the entire plateful, which is a rarity because I never finish my entire meal. So, the food is really good, and as I said, I really appreciated never really feeling like I was dining alone, thanks to the personal attention of the staff. And, I finally tried their pizza, which they're known for, but oddly, I'd not tried despite becoming a regular. They serve NY style slices, and although I'm not from NY to know the authenticity, I love their pizza. But, truth be told, their Stromboli is my all-time favorite there. It's ridiculously good - I highly recommend it. I also have sat on their patio with my dog (I've a 9 lb dog), which they happily accommodated, however I'm not sure what the policy would be for larger dogs, as mine remained on my lap the entire time I ate. But it was really nice to be able to bring my little one and enjoy a glass of wine at the same time. I really feel at home at Il Capo, as it's become my neighborhood eatery. Anyway, with regards to the pizza slices, after a certain time later in the evening they sometimes offer a buy one get one, so call and ask for details on that. Also, they have great specials. I highly recommend Il Capo!
