Full description

Little Capo serves Italian cooking that reviewers rate among the best pasta they've had in the UK, with bucatini and mussels, gnochetti with 'nduja and mafaldine singled out. The burrata and focaccia also come highly recommended, and cocktails get praise too.

Some dishes are available in smaller portions, which makes it easy to sample more of the menu. Solo diners report getting a seat at the bar as walk-ins, though a booking is advised for tables.

Open every day from noon to late, with a 4.7 rating and mid-range pricing, it suits couples and anyone wanting a flexible meal.

Reviews

First visit to Little Capo which has been recommended by many friends and I understand why! Everything we had from the spicy margarita, wine on special, and the meal were delicious! Loved the burrata with figs and perfectly made foccacia to start. The fried courgettes & dip were incredible as was the side of cabbage…
