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
