    I've always thought there was something special about Capitol. My girlfriends and I have been going there for almost 10 years and we will continue to do so for many years to come

    True, it's not the busiest place on College and the ambiance is not as cozy or unique as, say Kalendar, but the food is delicious and the owners are some of the nicest people I've met. I always get the gnocchi con pesto and my girlfriend gets the pizza margherita. I would say the pastas outweigh the pizzas in terms of being excellent, but it all depends on how you like your Italian thin-crust pizzas! The salads are great and the wines are very reasonably-priced (ideal).

    Capitol has reopened completely renovated after a fire a few months ago and it's lovely inside. The patio is very large and we often find ourselves there in the summer - easy to get a seat if one arrives early! In general the place doesn't get busy until later so it's a great option when you're hungry and want to eat right away.

    4 stars from me!

    I know this place has pizza, which I haven't tried. So i'm basing my review on the pasta I ordered here.

    I ordered a vegetarian pasta, which was overpriced for what it was- salty, undercooked, and swimming in olive oil. There was also way too much pasta, I couldn't bring myself to finish it because of the taste and quantity. Ick. My date also said their pasta was unpleasant to eat. We probably ended up eating more bread (they give you a basket of bread with the food) then pasta.

    Service was ok, but the food was terrible.

    Saw this place from the street, looked clean and decorated nicely. Came here with mom for dinner around 6  on a Sunday, not busy at all. Service was pretty good, attentive but not intrusive. Had the insalata mista which was a regular salad but it was much bigger than most restaurants which was a nice surprise. Ended up trying the margherita and romana pizzas which were very tasty, as well as the seafood risotto. Seafood was cooked just the way it should be and the risotto was creamy with just a little bite. Good enough to make me want to come back and try their pasta some day.

    After one too many bad experiences at Cafe Dominico (accross the street- see review) I decided to check this place out based on the 2 reviews here. It was delicious! I ordered the veal and they happily allowed me to substitute the salad/potatoes for pasta instead. The quality of my and my friend's meal was very good. Pasta tasted homemade. The portions were generous. It is a little more expensive than some other places in the area but it's worth it. I will definately be coming back!

    This is my favorite restaurant in Little Italy.  The patio is warm and inviting and the inside decor is very nice.  I LOVE the mussels!!!  I usually will have a pasta, but I will try whatever seems to appeal to my taste buds.  This is a "must visit" whenever I am in town and I can't wait to eat here again in the near future.
