Cesar salad was delicious and so was the braised beef arancini. The pizza was not our favorite. CT pizza just does not hit like NY. But nonetheless the service was great and welcoming.
While visiting the area, my girlfriend and I happened upon this gem of a restaurant. Since her Golden was waiting in the truck, we ordered a variety of appetizers to take back to our Airbnb in Southbury. While waiting we both enjoyed chatting with John who explained the meaning of Il Capo while also sharing a little history of his family in Italy. The ambience alone made our wait all that more enjoyable while sipping wine and chatting with the owner. We both look forward to dining in the next time we visit as the appetizers were delicious and unique! Especially the fried spaghetti!
Got pizza twice here so far, and both times everything was fantastic and top notch. Extremely impressive quality of ingredients, everything tastes right. Crust is perfect, sauce is dialed in, cheese is perfect. Highly recommend eating it asap there or in your car doing take out. You can tell there is a love for pizza and food with these guys, and it is very appreciated. Recommend the a la vodka pizza and their hot honey pepperoni pizza.
IL CAPO was a great choice for pizza today. I got a bacon and cheese to go. The smell coming from the box on my drive home was amazing. Once I arrived at my home I was treated to a flavorful slice of bacon and pepperoni. Would definitely be going back. Will eat inside because looks really good inside.
We went because a 5.0 rating with 79 reviews is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, I’m assuming the 79 are friends and family members. We got there around 6:30 on a Saturday night and there were 3 tables of people so we were the fourth. It took longer than we would have liked for the wait staff to come say hi and ask if we wanted water or anything else to drink. They brought out our soda and water and then disappeared for a very long time. There were 2 or 3 waitstaff and 4 guys making the pizza and one girl making what seemed to be everything else. One guy was video recording them making the pizza and at one point was pointing the camera right at us without our permission. I’m guessing they were taking video for a commercial or social media, but we did not agree to be on camera. Eventually, At
