Capps Corner

On one of our many trips wandering through North Beach, we'd poked our head into Capp's Corner and thought it looked quaint and smelled good so we gave it a try on our next trip to the city. It's a very casual place and seemed to have a lot of big groups (probably heading to Beach Blanket Babylon??). We had a short wait for a table and the service was relatively good. If you're not with a big party, you should expect to be seated very, very closely to other people -- almost like you're sharing a table. We were right next to another couple and one of the wait staff brought bread for their table and put the butter on ours, since he thought we were together.. Pros: Good value. Fun, casual place. Cons: Low-end wine list more

Smelled great when we walked in and has a cozy feel. We were told at the door that it was family style and could share an entree because of the portion size (big). This was not the case at all - the waitress snapped at us and said that the hostess ""does not know what she is talking about"" and she was very frustrated that we did not know how it worked. We wanted to share a portion and have soup and salad, but she said ""NO sharing"". I thought maybe her not so friendly attitude would be different when she came back to take our order, but it was worse. You can see she was like this with all the customers. The food took a long time to arrive and was not so great. I grew up in an Italian home and this was not authentic Italian. P.S. The bartender looked like he wanted to hurt someone. MANY other Italian places to enjoy in North Beach - dont waste your money or time here. Pros: smells good Cons: service more

My wife and I were part of a group of nine trying to find a restaurant Pros: Great Service Cons: Although the cozy size of the restaurant is charming, it also made us feel claustraphobic more

There is nothing outstanding on the menu, but it was reasonably priced. The charm is only due to location. The service.... So AWFUL. We had reservations for a group of 8 for noon. We ordered at 12:20. At 1:20 still no food, and had to ask for bread. At 1:30 I asked for our food and our check, and the waitress snapped that we should have told her we were pressed for time when we ordered. We got our food at 1:45, leaving us 15 minutes to eat mediocre food before dashing to the show. The bar wasn't busy, but the bartender was rude and couldn't be bothered. The people are snappy and rude and the service is SLOW, even if you have reservations. There are many other GOOD restaurants nearby that deserve your patronage far more than this place. I was embarrassed to take my guests to this place. Pros: low priced food, Close to BBB Cons: rude, slow service, mediocre food, pay parking only more

I ate at Capp's last night and the food was fabulous. I had a wonderful Petrale with vegetables and mashed potatos and my date had their capellini with seafood. We were seated right away and the waiter was very good. I wouldn't call it a romantic restaurant; the plastic tablecloths don't help much. For a relaxed meal with friends, this is a great place. Their chef has not been there long, I hope they keep him. I am definitely going back. Pros: Value, Great Food more

Great food and lots of it. You can spend an inordinate amount of time reading the walls. A true North Beach, Italian eatery. We've always been seated promptly. We have a lot of fun with our servers. Pros: Food, Price Cons: Parking more

The atmosphere here feels authentic and local. The food was bland and plain. My marinara sauce was bland in color, texture and taste. My friend's alfrado sauce was the same. It didn't seem like ""city food"" at all. Almost like small-town food, at a local, cheap restaurant. This restaurant was on the expensive side, though. Good for atmosphere only. Cool, authentic feel. Pros: atmosphere, local feel Cons: food quality, price more

Old-school food served by old-school people... feels like you're meeting cousin Vinnie in Hoboken -- Tasty, cheap Italian served with attitude. My faves: Tortellini and cannelloni. more
