Capitano is a pub-like atmosphere which is fantastic as it makes this Italian restaurant just feel joyful. Service here is friendly and fun, although as they get busy it can be a little wait at times. The food here is delicious! The deep dish pizzas are a treat and their gluten free option is amazing! The sides and appetizers are also beautiful, fresh and great flavours that hit all the right notes. The wine list is good too and the staff will direct you if needed and know their stuff. Great place for good food and catch up with friends

This place is absolutely fantastic. Everything is of outstanding quality - bread, pizzas and pastas. I was so impressed with the meal. You do have to wait a while for food to come out but it is definitely worth it. I will come back here without a doubt.

Lovely Italian food and a great atmosphere. Zoe was personable and prompt with looking after our table. My wine friends seemed impressed with the selection and do not skip on the bread!

Such a superb experience at this restaurant. Welcoming and friendly staff on top of delicious food and drinks.
My friend and I shared a pasta and a pizza. The pasta was deliciously Moorish and I am so glad we ordered the vodka dipping sauce for the pizza crust. It is a fantastic idea and I absolutely loved it. I cannot wait to come again and try a square with a group of friends.

Beautiful place to have pizza and a drink. It's a lovely place to chill, with a fantastic drinks list and friendly staff. We always go for a square pizza (Grandma) and it is super super filling. Tastes kind of like a thick and chewy sourdough base, balanced out with a generous serve of sauce and cheese. The pastas are just okay. Come for the pizza, drinks and vibe! The burrata looks amazing.

First time going to Capitano and I had heard a lot of good things. The interior is gorgeous and it has a lovely ambience. The staff were all amazing and had great suggestions about the wine. We ordered one pasta with duck that was so good, and then the vodka pasta. I was a little disappointed with that one as it didn’t taste quite like a traditional vodka pasta dish. It was quite heavy; reminded me of pumpkin soup and was hard to get through it all. Probably wouldn’t order it again. Overall really good though and I’ll definitely be back, probably for the burrata and the service!

This is going to be one of my pizza restaurants in Melbourne from now on. We dined in and shared a Nicola, Leonardo and a Tomato Pie among the three of us and we all enjoyed them all. Staff is really nice. 🍕

The sort of place that you just can’t go wrong at - because everything is so delicious.
Cocktails, starters, good friends, great food. It’s the best combination. We came mid afternoon during their limited menu, and in no way did this home us back! Vibe and service were both perfect, and food was so good. It felt like we tried everything on offer, but my highlights would be: fried mozz and focaccia, and then 4 cheese and roni square pies. That said, there was 4 of us and we each ordered a different square pie and it was the perfect afternoon. Lots of sharing amongst us and leftovers for the next day.
