Please try capos u will love the food pastas pannis the best on long Island god bless this great restaurant please give capos a chance u will love it !!!!!!!!!

Food was delicious, fresh and excellent ingredients. Well thought out flavor combinations and feels like a neighborhood gem.

Always enjoy the food and service. My family of 8 all loved what they ordered. It's my go to place for fresh food and friendly faces.

I love Capo's! The paninis are similar to a La Bottega but better. The bread is delicious! My favorites are the Cueno, Greco and the Pop but no cheese, add broccoli raab. You can eat in or take out. Inside is similar to most Italian restaurants, dining room is smaller but cozy. Service is always welcoming and they are quick. If you have a hankering for a panini, make sure you try it out!

I've been on a panini kick recently and Capo has some BOMB sandwiches. It's small, it's no-frills, the menu is huge, and it's so good. I had the Orlando panini (I wanted to add fried eggplant to it but either the server or the kitchen forgot, oh well). It was excellent. Very tasty and filling. My husband had the prato panini. We each got side sauces too for dipping as well as cream of tomato soup. I had a small soup and he had a large. The large is an actual bucket. Prices are super reasonable and they don't skimp on ingredients. I'd give a full five stars for food but the missing fried eggplant, an extra drink given to us that we didn't order, and the prato panini taking forever to come out brought the review slightly down. Overall this is a great place and I'm definitely coming back to try more paninis. Excellent.

Panini was ready right when i get there for pickup. Delicious i could only eat half saved the other half for my hubby he loved it

I am sorry to say that Capo has been open for about two years, and I never took a chance to go there until now. Capo is located in a small strip mall, set way back off of Franklin Avenue. There is ample parking in the lot, shared with three other storefronts. They offer dine-in and have a very (from I could see) busy takeout option. The inside is very casual with beautiful farmhouse decor. I loved all the signs (one of which I attached in a photo here!). A young server greeted us and sat us, followed by bringing us a cold bottle of water and two glasses. Since it was our first time here, we decided to sample some small plates. We ordered the 6-piece bruschetta sampler, which we were able to customize. We opted for 4 savory and 2 sweet versions. The Italian "egg rolls" looked interesting so they became our second plate. To round out our experience we enjoyed the shrimp wrapped in pancetta. THE GROWS: Location, location, location. There is obscure signage from the road so nothing makes it stand out. This is a unique venue that deserves more "splash" in their presence to entice casual drivers-by on Franklin Avenue. The tomatoes on the traditional bruschetta weren't very ripe, leaning more on the orange side. Minor "grow", but worth mentioning. THE GLOWS: One young server handled the whole room, including a table of 6 and other tables of 2-3ppl. She did so with ease and attentiveness (I made sure the tip reflected that). She was so friendly and very patient as we made our selections. We explained it was our first time there and she recommended some items for us. The Italian egg rolls came with a spicy marinara that makes one want to lick the dish they come in! The showstopper was definitely the shrimp wrapped in pancetta, which came served with a sherry cream sauce and covered in melted fresh mozzarella. The shrimp were huge, cooked just right, and the sauce was heavenly. We were able to pay the check via an app and scanning the check. How convenient! At one point, the owner, Paul, made his way to all of the tables and spoke with all customers. Not just the "how's your meal" typical chat, but genuine conversation. He spoke to us about his food industry experience and about another venue he is partnered with (review to follow once I hit THAT spot!). Not sure about anyone else, but when I respect the owner/chef it makes me want to patronize a location even more. Such a cool guy with a great outlook on the current stressors of the industry. I will definitely be back to sample some of their infamous paninis that I am hearing so much about!

Another great meal at Capo! Paul does it right! Strayed from my Ancona Panini go to for the First time with the cavatelli dish and it did not disappoint!
