Nice ambience, great service, tasty food

by jadams6187

I was first lured into Capurro's as I was walking by and a live jazz band was playing. I love dining with live music! Didn't have time to sit and eat, but kept them in mind. I went back on a first date and loved it. The live band was playing again, and we were immediately and warmly greeted by the restaurant owner. We definitely felt welcome. We were seated in about ten minutes since the house was a little full (sat at the bar while we waited). Waiters were friendly, and food was great. Not to mention the food comes in large portions. A couple of weeks later a friend and I decided to try a place a couple restaurants down.. we were seated outside and were ignored for a full ten minutes, and this place wasn't even busy. Couldn't take it so we ran over to Capurro's and I received the same great service I had the first time-- seated promptly, friendly staff and our order was ready within minutes. Highly recommended if you're out on a date, or like a warm environment, friendly and welcoming staff, some live music, and great seafood.

• Pros: Ambience, reasonable prices and great portions, friendly staff, yumym food

Great food and service at Fisherman's Wharf

by twitcherpated

I don't know what Mrs snip is talking about. It's obvious she's a bitter person. Or perhaps no restaurants give appropriate service, at least not up to her expectations.

I've lived in SF for 3 years now and Capurro's is by far one of the better restaurants on Fishermans Wharf. It's one of the few places that I will actually go out of my way to eat at. I recommend the sand dabs.

Our waiter, James was very helpful in choosing them. He said he eats them about twice a week. I figured why not. They were excellent to say the least, paired with risotto and spinach. Yum!

We ate there on a monday night and were very surprised to have a live jazz band playing while we ate.

4 Stars!

• Pros: Great food music and a wonderful atmosphere
• Cons: It's in the middle of tourist town? Oh well...

Good food & entertainment

by bayarealocal

I met some friends who were from out of town staying near the wharf for dinner and drinks here. The clam chowder was excellent to start and we split a bunch of plates. The pizza was surpisingly good, the crab cakes were ok not great, and the gnocchi was delicious. It's a lively scene, they had a string band playing the night I was there, and definitely worth sticking around after dinner. Cool place all in all.
