Capo Italian Deli - Washington, District of Columbia

My food was amazing!

My Judy and I drove an hour and a half to get to this deli, and it was so worth that drive.

There was not a line to get in. The inside appears small, yet there is a whole club, bar, and sitting area inside to the rear.

The deli was very clean, and everything was organized.

We were greeted with a warm welcome, and the cashier assisted us in ordering as I'm sure she could tell it was our first visit. She was patient and very kind. I showed her a photograph that I saw on social media, which is what caused me to make that drive.
She knew exactly what the sandwich was and began explaining everything that was included.

I was soooooo pleased with my visit. The sandwich looked exactly as pictured and tasted even better. I would totally make that drive again to taste all that goodness!

I went to the speak easy behind the deli and it was a great vibe. Good music and great ambiance. The espresso martini tasted so good! The food at Capo Deli is amazing. I ordered a cheesesteak sub and it was good but could use more seasoning. The next time I went I got the turkey and cheese sub and that tasted great!! Their Italian seasoning is so good!

I used to love their sandwiches back in 2018ish… I think their quality has gone down since then.

I agree with what other said about the meat being on the skimpy side, especially for a $14 6 in sandwich. I got the chicken fontina.

On top that, there were several pieces of chicken in the sandwich that were rock solid that I didn’t eat. I don’t think I’ll be returning for food! Bummer!

You know a sandwich shop is dope when you can eat the sandwich in bed the next morning and it’s just as good. I’m not recommending you go to Capo, have drinks in their speakeasy behind the fridge, order a sandwich on your way home, fall asleep before eating, then enjoying it for breakfast. I’m just saying that if that did happen, you would still be impressed with the quality of the sandwich.

I really enjoy the sandwiches here, but staff misses my note for extra chipotle mayo every time. The sandwich is a little dry without it, but it’s still good. I just wish they would read the note 🥹

A bouncer saw our group and decided to confiscate our vapes, telling us we could retrieve them when we left. He acted as if he was very friendly and glad to hang around us and learn about our lives. He wanted to know what we were doing on our phones and wanted to look at everything and everyone we were contacting. We couldn’t even enjoy our time there because we felt as if we had to accommodate him. As we were leaving we tried to ask for our phones and vapes back, as was promised. He then refused and proceeded to throw us out of the bar just for asking, shining his flashlight on us as we were making our way out of the bar.
Neither I or any of my friends will ever be returning to this bar, as the bouncer made it the most unfriendly, uninviting establishment I’ve been to in quite a while. Was frankly shocked by the deterrent service.

Love this place for the subs! And if you didn’t know, they have a speakeasy in the back. Great place for lunch and a nightcap. They also sell adult beverages to go!

Great bar! Super cool entrance, relaxed vibe and solid drinks! I loved the energy there. We got here around 9 and there were plenty of seats, it was dark and intimate, and the music was perfect. The bartenders are on their craft! Mine re-did my drink after tasting which is something you don’t always see and probably because he had time since there weren’t tons of people there. I loved the drink! And it was great to have a chill spot to hang with friends and hear what they were saying! Need to come back for an Italian sub though!
