    We visit da Capo at least 1/month. Sometimes twice. Very consistent and meals with taste. Not generic but authentic. Cocktails are real, and mixed there it appears to me, and properly strong. We had wings and pizza. Couple of drinks each amongst the four of us. Super causal night and a good dinner out. Atmosphere is on the louder side but that does ensure your tables conversation is your own. I recommend lunch or dinner at da Capo

    Me and my family came here after a show at the XL CENTER. I am so glad we found this spot. The food and service was fantastic! We wanted something kid friendly but also great food and vibes and it checked all of the boxes! Will definitely go back when we are back in town!

    From the greeting by Hostess Jennifer and the service by Bonnie we had a great evening. The meal I wanted had an ingredient I was not familiar with. Bonnie explained it to me and I did not seem interested so Bonnie suggested an alternate. I loved the dish and next time I will try the spaghetti neo. The 4 of us had a great night at the table we requested along with Bonnie!
