Capannina

4.5

About this business

This trattoria focuses primarily on the Genovese kitchen with its multifarious seafood dishes, however the chefs aptly apply their skills to other regions in Italy. Here you can find Cioppino (this is the city where it was invented after all) filled with shellfish in a tomato broth or sand dabs over zucchini in a white wine sauce. If seafood doesn't interest you, they also have pollo (chicken), maiale (pork), agnello (lamb) and manzo (beef) in addition to some vegetarian options. Capannina is only open during the evening and... read more

What a great find! – After reading all the user reviews for Capannina. I decided this would be the rest. to take my Boyfriend for his Bday. Not only was the service and food outstanding. They brought over a couple of candles and dimmed the light for us to create a romantic setting..How cute! They even sang Happy Birthday to my boyfirend in Italian. The chocolate cake is to die for. A must if you want to take family or friends out for a special occasion.

We found everything in this neighborhood gem: great food, service and atmosphere! – I usually don't review restaurants unless they are very bad, but in this case, my husband (who is an Italian)and I wanted to share our favorite italian restaurant with everybody. We've been going to Capannina regularly for a while. Althought we try new restaurants all the time, this restaurant is still our find. When we want to make sure we have a perfect dinner experience we go there. We had a large dinner party there once and everybody was ... read more

Wonderful food and superb service – My sister and I share dinner about twice a month when she visits from Sacramento. Last night was the third time we visited and have yet to be disappointed. The food is always superior and the service is friendly and as it should be. Don't make the mistake of skipping dessert as they are absolutely wonderful. This is truly one of our favorite spots.

Great food and great service! – I had dinner here w/ some friends this past weekend. The food was fantastic! I had the gnocchi w/ the wild boar, my friends had the cioppino, the steak and the seafood special. We all had a taste of each other's entree and all of it was super good. Oh and the dessert - we shared a pear tart w/ vanilla ice cream - let's just say I wanted 2nd's and if I wasn't full I would've had 2nd's. Our waiter was excellent, very helpful with everything - recommeneded a great Chianti. The decor was very cool... read more

Perfect ! Great Service and Great Food – What a wonderful discovery ! After learning that our old favorite (Bonta) had closed, and our old reliable( Prego') had gone downhill, we were so pleasantly surprised to encounter this incredible restaurant. Wonderful food, SUPERB service ( they treated us like we had been coming there for 10 years), and an overall great experience -

Are You In Or Out – Impressive Italian food. The wine list is also quite good, including a number of great wines by the glass. The servers are friendly and professional. However, the owner appears to divide the diners into two categories -- ask for an after dinner limoncello and to find out where you stand.

real Italian food - outside of Italy – I've grown up eating what I considered good Italian food, but never realized what I was missing until I traveled to Italy 10 years ago. 10 years older, and a lot wiser, I know a good meal when I have one. Capannina IS truly great Italian food. Excellent wine list. Not to mention the wonderful staff and overall dining experience. The manager is a true professional. I now put this in my top 5 dining locations in all of San Francisco - well done!

Classic Italian cuisine is given a Cal accent in bright Cow Hollow refuge. – The Scene Two big windows flank the curtained vestibule, allowing glimpses of well-heeled foot traffic.
