I was first lured into Capurro's as I was walking by and a live jazz band was playing. I love dining with live music! Didn't have time to sit and eat, but kept them in mind. I went back on a first date and loved it. The live band was playing again, and we were immediately and warmly greeted by the restaurant owner. We definitely felt welcome. We were seated in about ten minutes since the house was a little full (sat at the bar while we waited). Waiters were friendly, and food was great. Not to mention the food comes in large portions. A couple of weeks later a friend and I decided to try a place a couple restaurants down.. we were seated outside and were ignored for a full ten minutes, and this place wasn't even busy. Couldn't take it so we ran over to Capurro's and I received the same great service I had the first time-- seated promptly, friendly staff and our order was ready within minutes. Highly recommended if you're out on a date, or like a warm environment, friendly and welcoming staff, some live music, and great seafood. Pros: Ambience, reasonable prices and great portions, friendly staff, yumym food

Capurro's is a great blend of music, good food and good wine. They've got a way of bringing all three elements into one place that suiteable for a pleasant adult evening with friends.

I've lived in SF for 3 years now and Capurro's is by far one of the better restaurants on Fishermans Wharf. It's one of the few places that I will actually go out of my way to eat at. I recommend the sand dabs. Our waiter, James was very helpful in choosing them. He said he eats them about twice a week. I figured why not. They were excellent to say the least, paired with risotto and spinach. Yum! We ate there on a monday night and were very surprised to have a live jazz band playing while we ate. 4 Stars!

I met some friends who were from out of town staying near the wharf for dinner and drinks here. The clam chowder was excellent to start and we split a bunch of plates. The pizza was surpisingly good, the crab cakes were ok not great, and the gnocchi was delicious. It's a lively scene, they had a string band playing the night I was there, and definitely worth sticking around after dinner. Cool place all in all.

After reading the reviews that are on here, I can only think they were all left by the management themselves. Although a local, I had never been to Capurro's until a few weeks ago. It was one of the worst, if not THE worst restaurant I have ever been to in SF and I have lived here over 30 years. The service was horrible, we were not told of the specials, it took a half hour to get glasses for the champagne we brought ( we paid $15 for the fee), the food came out cold and everything was very mediocre or worse. Although 4 of us shared 2 appetizers, there were no plates or sharing utensils brought out, after asking and waiting 10 minutes, a busboy finally brought us ONE crab cracker and ONE cocktail fork. We constantly had to try and wave someone down, as it was impossible to make eye contact with anyone on the serving floor. Although I ordered a shrimp louie, the waitress, Svetlana, brought me a spinach salad and then argued with me when I asked her to please bring me what I had actually ordered. Finally, after walking off in a big huff, she returned with some sort of salad ( not a Louie) with a pile of still frozen shrimp dumped on top. The fish and chips had only 2 small pieces of fish and only some fries, not even coleslaw. They seem to save that big treat for the expensive items like the grilled salmon. We were treating an out of town guest and really could not have picked a worse place. After over a week of trying to reach the manager, I finally did and was told how they have been here for 62 years and how great they really are. Well, the 2 brothers or cousins who now run the place are about half of 62 and are apparently resting on the laurels of Grandpa or whoever used to own it, when perhaps it actually was a good place to go. Don't bother with this one...there are just too many really wonderful places to eat in SF to waste your money here.

After reading all of the great reviews, I was still skeptical. After all, it's in Fisherman's Wharf, it's for tourists. Well, two SF residents an an out-of-towner found this restaurant a pleasant surprise. Two arrived 1 hr. earlier for a 6:30p reservation on Friday night. We were greeted pleasantly , but, realized we should wait in the bar area until the 3rd arrived. My guest ordered a drink from the past, a Nutty Irish, and exclaimed to the bartender that it was "delicious"! After being seated at our table, our waiter, Jeffrey, was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and recommended menu items that we optioned to order. The skewed grilled (6 large) shrimp appetizer was perfect, as was the sourdough and warm onion bread with flavored dipping oil. My guest and I are American Italian; she ordered Gnocchi in a pesto cream sauce and I the Shrimp Fettucine, (pastas are all homemade). She declared it the "best" outside of her mom's. Mine was delicious, too! Perfect portions, no leftovers, but room for a shared Chocolate Creme Brulee. As for the 3rd dinner, Fish and Chips, the fish, beer battered, delicate tender pieces, were excellent, but the chips, regular fries were overcooked, too dark and were left uneaten. One large scoop of (homemade?) vanilla ice cream, coffee with refills, rounded off our wonderful dining experience, which also included live music in the nearby bar area. The food prices were shockingly reasonable, under $30 each! Bar prices $7 to $8 ea. Well, what can I say? Anytime I'm in the area, I will stop in for food, drink, excellent friendly service and live music. I was impressed! P.S. We took public transportation, a short walk from the "F" car's last stop. Our late guest drove and parked, no charge, behind the restaurant. Amazing! Pros: Friendly Service, Reasonable Prices, Public Transportation and Parking Cons: French Fries with Fish and Chips dish were overcooked

Wife & I stopped there based on other reviews over an anniversary weekend. A chilly walk from Pier 39, it was a pleasant place to dine and relax. The live Jazz music combo was a nice touch, although the bartender was rather staid (re: boring) but he was working alone. I had the beef ravioli, and while the taste was good, the portion seemed small. There were 25 mini raviolis according to the waiter, so that's 25 slow bites. Bread was fresh and tasty, and manager made rounds to each table. Wife had a seafood combo that she said was very good, but she did have to pick apart the clams, contrary to what the waiter implied. We had an excellent bottle of Riesling Wine (by Clean Slate Winery), and dinner total was about $60. We had plenty of open seating & didn't need the reservation (Thurs night). Convenient to transportation of cable car or Muni bus. Pros: Ambiance, food quality & variety of selections; Jazz combo Cons: Smaller portions; a bit of a walk from Pier 39
