Capo Santa Monica Reviews
This was our first time at Capo.
The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. What put a bad taste in our mouth was putting on the menu "20% service charge automatically added so we can give our staff a living wage". Do you mean to tell me that when people are p
Been a few times to Capo now and we're always so
Been a few times to Capo now and we're always so complimentary of the service and experience. Food is consistently executed well and the little luxuries of the glassware and service-ware really make you tip your cap to the restaurant. Conversati
Fantastic service, best ambiance, not much more I could ask
Fantastic service, best ambiance, not much more I could ask for. Food was superb also, although the dessert wasn't loved by my companion I really liked it.
Outlandishly overpriced remarkably ordinary food ! The
Outlandishly overpriced remarkably ordinary food ! The decor looks like kitsch picked up at a flea market . Service people were nice but I haven't had issues with service people anywhere . Would definitely not recommend this restaurant !
I would rate this place 100/10 if I could.
Customer service is truly extraordinary. We didn't make dinner plans because we arrived late and decided to just figure it out. The maitre d was phenomenal and did everything he could to accommodate seating us even tho they were booked. He sat u

The only good were the atmosphere, the service and the bread basket. The tricolore instead of being tossed was arranged in three little tasteless piles. The veal scallopini came in a giant and unappetizing slab with tendons attached. The rack of lamb

Way overpriced! The atmosphere is nice and the food was good, but not amazing. The service was okay. The staff seem to all run around, but still don't refill drinks timely. I always have a problem with a set 20% service charge. It is not the r

I had a great experience here and would have come back again until the snarky waiter asked for a tip over and above the 20% service fee included on the bill. Cringe. Ruined my experience and I doubt I'll return. Too bad, otherwise loved the f
Amazing Italian food.
In particular the calamari- so uniquely done-- it's not deep fried like everyone else does it. Excellent wine list as well. Service was great. Pricy but worth it. We Definitely a solid choice for a special night out.

After two people had suggested that I try your restaurant I was so excited to finally get to experience it. I must say that I love the location and the restaurant is nice and cozy. Great selection of wines . The food was just okay and overpriced. OK
What a fantastic experience and the best Italian meal I
What a fantastic experience and the best Italian meal I have honestly ever had! From the drinks, dinner and dessert I can't express how delicious it was!! And the staff was incredible!! What ambiance this restaurant has!! I could go on and on. J

Dear Capo Management, I am reaching out to bring a deeply disappointing and unacceptable experience to your attention. On Saturday February 1st 2025, I dined at Capo and spent over $700 expecting a high-end experience that matched your restaurant�

Celebrated our anniversary here and the service was impeccable. The ambiance is cozy, unpretentious, and refined. The food was perfect and the portions were larger than I anticipated. The feeling inside the restaurant was relaxed, yet the quality of
Give your pocketbook a break and pass on this place
This is our second and last time visiting this restaurant. While the ambiance is lovely and the service good, the food is mediocre, and the prices are outrageous. Nothing about this place justifies a dinner that costs more than $800 for four people
Very in professional restaurant.
I left bunch of messages for reserving table for dinner but no one calls back. All you get is leave a message and we will get back to you which they never do. WAIST OF TiME
Disappointed
Sadly the table we were given was right by the bar seating where everyone was passing, we did ask if we could have a more couples intimate table but were told was reserved for share holders?? Perhaps said share holders need to know that it's the cus

I discovered CAPO by a local that told us it was one of the best restaurants around this area and he was right, I LOVED IT! If you live in LA or you just visiting but want to have a nice, elegant, intimate dinner away from the craziness and business
The food here is fantastic.
One of the best restaurants in this area! The white asparagus was amazing

I love this place! Between the winter and the sommelier and had a fabulous pairing and sharing for four.
Longtime favorite - low-key & quiet/relaxing.
Don't come here and pinch pennies. Enjoy yourself and have a good time. It's nice to get away from the crazy hustle and bustle of other restaurants in this area. Kind of feels like Sun Valley or Aspen - definitely recommend if that's your vibe.
Great food and service!
Excellent service and food. Terrific ambiance. Really enjoyed the meal. It is not inexpensive. If in Santa Monica, I would go back.
Food is OK.
Nothing to brag about. Definitely, not worth the price they charge. I have had much better Italian food costing less than half of what they charge. Service is again OK. Not worth the 20% tip they forced on to your bill. They charge 20% tip even for a

I was leaning toward a 4 due to the fact everything was excellent but the prices were too high. But I bumped it up to 5 because of the quality of the steaks. A lot of places in Santa Mon under deliver on steaks so that gets these guys the 5. Having s

This place is the epitome of the thinking: "It's super expensive so it must be super good." I am blown away by how many good reviews this place has to be honest. It must be because everyone ends up spending so much money, they have to tel

Fabulous milieu, fabulous service, fabulous food and fabulous prices. This is a great restaurant so you must evaluate the prices in view f the excellence.

I would say it's one of the best Italian restaurants in Santa Monica, but it does have some issues. It's really small and intimate on the inside, you feel like you are eating in someone's house. It reminds me of a few restaurants that I ate in when I
I will preface this by saying the food was lovely.
The prices however are outrageous: an average of $45 for a small pasta plate. While I understand living wages, it seems excessive.
The Caesar salad was ok.
The pasta was ok. The salmon was DELICIOUS. I'd come back again for the salmon alone.
Love the ambiance, definitely an experience.
Servers are very well mannered and educated
Rarely does a restaurant exist where everything is spot on!
Rarely does a restaurant exist where everything is spot on! Capo is just that. You enter the restaurant through a large rustic wooden door, two sets of heavy black velvet curtains, and boom! surprised by a spectacular and magical dinning room. Low-ke
I'm giving Capo 3 stars for overall value.
Prices are sky high then they have the balls to add on a fee to help pay for employee benefits ? How pathetic. Pay your own employee benefits just like the rest of the employers in the country. Why are employee benefits my problem ? Don't tell me you
Beautiful, elegant and so chic! Very special place tucked
Beautiful, elegant and so chic! Very special place tucked away in Santa Monica. Special moments!!
Not a place worth coming back .
Prices are high for the quality and portion of food . For instance , a Caesar salad is over $30 and portion is small so we had to order 2 of those for 6 people. Although, I did like that the Caesar had grilled lettuce and they chopped it up for us .

I don't miss much about living in LA, but Capo is one of the few. I've never had a bad meal here. Everything from the food, to the service, to the - ambiance is top notch. The restaurant is very unassuming from the road, vut once you enter you'll und
Thought we were going to get amazing Italian.
Pasta and as bland, hard to connect for reservations even though the place was basically empty
Simply the best.
The corn truffle ravioli is cooked to perfection and the sauce is incredible.
I visited here twice.
The food is good; however, not worth the price. Everything is excessively overpriced. Service was as expected. The decor is filled with strange trinkets from grandmas house and space is extremely tight. You will be sitting elbow to elbow with other d
Amazing restaurant
incredible restaurant---the lobster capellini was the best pasta dish my wife and I have ever had we were there in 2016 and definitely return next time in LA
Ambiance: dim and romantic scenery.
Pretentious crowd. Service: multiple waiters, neutral. Not kind nor mean. Their decanter is the size and shape of a wine bottle, which I think was meant to be a water pitcher. For the price of their wines I'm surprised they don't have better equipmen
I came into Capo for a late night bite to eat.
I sat at the bar alone. Two suited men walk in and I see the manager in an excited frenzy and he ushered them over to the bar. My hand bag was on the seat next to me and without asking, and in a blink of an eye, the manger picked up my hand bag to mo
Connect with users posting reservations for Capo Santa Monica
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Capo Santa Monica. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Capo Santa Monica at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Capo Santa Monica page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Capo Santa Monica to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Capo Santa Monica!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
