Santa Monica, Los Angeles · restaurant
The corner fireplace isn’t for show. It’s where the food actually gets cooked, wood-fired and built around handmade pastas and tight, seasonal Italian cooking. High beams and candlelight keep the room grounded a block from the beach, while the wine list goes deep enough to reroute the night entirely. It’s less about a quick dinner and more about settling in, ordering another bottle, and letting the pace take over.
Handmade pasta carbonara, cooked the Italian way — no cream.
Wood-fired prime filet over almond wood. The definitive Capo steak.
Sweet white corn pasta with black truffles, Capo's most-ordered dish.
