About Capitano DC

Capitano DC is a lively restaurant located at The Wharf, offering a relaxed atmosphere with a charming rooftop vibe that's perfect for hanging out and enjoying drinks. The outdoor setting provides a nice view of the water, enhancing the overall experience. The ambiance is especially suited for drinks and casual gatherings rather than full dining, making it a popular spot for those seeking a casual, scenic hangout.

The menu features a variety of Italian-inspired dishes and drinks. Guests have enjoyed the pizza, with some noting it as great, though prices can be steep, such as a margarita pizza costing $22. The chicken cavatappi and crispy chicken dishes received positive comments, while others found certain items like the diavola pizza and braised beef ragu to be oily. The Parmesan fries and meatballs were highlighted as tasty, with the fries standing out as a favorite. Drinks like the watermelon Italian soda and Naples spritz are refreshing, and the restaurant offers a wine tasting from 6-7 pm, though not all guests enjoyed the selection.

Service experiences vary; some guests praised the friendly and attentive staff, with one noting excellent memory for orders. Others experienced issues such as a misunderstanding about a service charge, slow service during busy times, or unfulfilled requests, which affected their overall experience. The restaurant's setup is somewhat unconventional, with some feeling it is too close to the hotel lobby, and parking can be challenging due to limited garage access and residential parking restrictions, sometimes resulting in parking tickets.

Overall, Capitano DC provides a scenic waterfront setting with good food and drinks, particularly suited for drinks and casual gatherings. While some find the prices high and the service inconsistent, the ambiance and water views make it a popular spot for relaxing and enjoying the lively atmosphere at The Wharf.
