About this business

Editorial fromFrom the photographs of the DiMaggio brothers to the long bar, you can tell Capp's is about local color, not food. A tossed salad, tartly dressed and full of canned kidney beans, follows the soup. If it's on the daily special board, osso…

Ok Facebook, here's the review of Capp's Corner you've been asking for over and over: it was great and it's been closed for 6 months! Now stop asking!

My Lifelong Family Style Staple I've been eating at Capp's my whole life and I can always count on the food being delicious! Family style means they serve you minestrone and salad to share over the first two courses and then your main course. The Osso Bucco is to die for, tired it many other places, but is NEVER as good as Capp's. Their house wine is descent and you can walk out of there with enough food for lunch and dinner the next day!

Cozy, throwback 60s restaurant with good value. – On one of our many trips wandering through North Beach, we'd poked our head into Capp's Corner and thought it looked quaint and smelled good so we gave it a try on our next trip to the city. It's a very casual place and seemed to have a lot of big groups (probably heading to Beach Blanket Babylon??). We had a short wait for a table and the service was relatively good. If you're not with a big party, you should expect to be seated very, very closely to other people -- almost l... read more

RUDE workers – Smelled great when we walked in and has a cozy feel. We were told at the door that it was family style and could share an entree because of the portion size (big). This was not the case at all - the waitress snapped at us and said that the hostess "does not know what she is talking about" and she was very frustrated that we did not know how it worked. We wanted to share a portion and have soup and salad, but she said "NO sharing". I thought maybe her not so friendly attitude would be different when she came ba... read more

Time stands still in this venerable North Beach institution, where Sinatra, Di Maggio and marinara sauce still rule. – In Short A throwback restaurant straight from 1954, what keeps this place bursting at the seams isn't artful cuisine, it's huge portions, low prices and a raucous atmosphere that lasts well into the wee hours. Fixed-price meals for less than $20 include fresh bread, minestrone soup and antipasto salad. For entrees, choose from substantial pasta dishes, such as baked seven-layer lasagna. Finish up with some s... read more

Better Than Expected Service – My wife and I were part of a group of nine trying to find a restaurant in the North Beach area on a Saturday night. It was approaching 8:30 PM, and we had to be back at our hotel no later than 9:45 to catch our airport shuttle. Capp's was probably the sixth or seventh restaurant that we had asked about immediate seating, and was the only one that could take us right then. My wife's uncle let the manager know that her and I would need to leave by 9:30 PM. The waitress let us know she would do he... read more

Slow, Rude service, mediocre food. – There is nothing outstanding on the menu, but it was reasonably priced. The charm is only due to location. The service.... So AWFUL. We had reservations for a group of 8 for noon. We ordered at 12:20. At 1:20 still no food, and had to ask for bread. At 1:30 I asked for our food and our check, and the waitress snapped that we should have told her we were pressed for time when we ordered. We got our food at 1:45, leaving us 15 minutes to eat mediocre food before dashing to the show. The bar... read more

Decent Italian food, neat old time SF atmosphere Located in San Francisco's North Beach, which was the Italian district (now shared by the Chinese), this is a pleasant old time restaurant. Not fancy, but homestyle. Don't miss the minestrone!

Way better than expected – I ate at Capp's last night and the food was fabulous. I had a wonderful Petrale with vegetables and mashed potatos and my date had their capellini with seafood. We were seated right away and the waiter was very good. I wouldn't call it a romantic restaurant; the plastic tablecloths don't help much. For a relaxed meal with friends, this is a great place. Their chef has not been there long, I hope they keep him. I am definitely going back.
