Editorial Review for Capp's Corner – by Citysearch Editors
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 spumoni for dessert.

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 like you're sharing a table. We were right next to another couple and one of the wait staff brought bread for their table and put the butter on ours, since he thought we were together.. Minestrone and salad come with every meal. The soup was tasty, even though it didn't have a lot of veggies. The salad was weak. Iceberg lettuce, some beans and sliced beets and a VERY watery dressing that could use some work. They have a lot of entree choices at $17.50 and $20 (plus a couple that are more). We had chicken parmeasan and shrimp in a marinara sauce - both were decent, especially for the price. Wine list was very affordable, but didn't have anything that was even remotely close to a "good wine". We had their "best wine" which was a passable $30/bottle of Gabbiano Chianti Classico Riserva, but don't expect to get a really good bottle of wine here. Not sure why they wouldn't drop some of the swill and add a nice California Cab or Merlot.
Pros: Good value. Fun, casual place.
Cons: Low-end wine list

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 back to take our order, but it was worse. You can see she was like this with all the customers. The food took a long time to arrive and was not so great. I grew up in an Italian home and this was not authentic Italian. P.S. The bartender looked like he wanted to hurt someone. MANY other Italian places to enjoy in North Beach - dont waste your money or time here.
Pros: smells good
Cons: service
