The best focaccia I've ever had! Honestly, I didn't even have one this good in Italy! The main dishes were also absolutely delicious. Great service, a calm & cozy atmosphere, & everything we had was 10/10.
I recently visited this restaurant & had a bit of a mixed experience. To start, everything was actually going really well - the burrata & garlic bread were both delicious & set a great first impression.
Unfortunately, things started to go downhill with the main courses. My partner initially received the wrong dish (though the names were quite similar, so I understand how that could happen), but the staff was accommodating & quickly corrected it. However, my own dish arrived cold, & while I normally wouldn't send food back, I had to ask for it to be reheated.
When the dishes came back, we were surprised by the portion size - the cappelleti plate had only five pieces, which felt quite underwhelming. Taste-wise, the pasta didn't really stand out, & my own dish was extremely over-peppered to the point where it was difficult to enjoy, which was disappointing since I usually love pasta.
We decided to stay a bit longer & ordered another round of drinks, but after waiting around 15 minutes with nothing arriving, we assumed it had been forgotten & asked for the bill. After paying (& still tipping over 15% as our waitress was very kind & attentive), we realized we had been charged for the drink we never received. It turned out it had been sitting at the bar for about 10 minutes without being brought to us.
Overall, the ambiance & view are beautiful, & the service from our waitress herself was lovely. However, based on the food experience, I would probably only return for drinks at the bar rather than for a full meal.
There's a fine line between creativity & confusion in the kitchen, & unfortunately, @capellomontreal leaned a little too enthusiastically toward the latter.
Italian cuisine has always had a quiet confidence about it - simple ingredients, balanced flavors, & dishes that don't need a long explanation to shine. Here, however, it felt as though every plate was determined to overdo it…
Take the burrata, for example. A lovely ingredient on its own, creamy & delicate. It arrived accompanied by gnocco fritto (deep-fried dough) & a balsamic that somehow tasted like it contained soy. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. It was one of several moments where the food felt'creative for the sake of being creative,' rather than harmonious.
The pinsa wasn't much better. The crust had a burnt bread taste, topped with pepperoni that tasted suspiciously like it had taken a detour through Costco, & any promised garlic flavor also seemed to have gotten lost somewhere along the way.
For our main, we had Radiatori Vodka Piccante. The vodka sauce, which contained sweet breadcrumbs - an unexpected plot twist - & tasted oddly like something that might have come from a jar rather than a simmering pot, also lacked the'Piccante' part.
Dessert brought us a tiny $18 tiramisu that appeared to have been extended with extra cream, arrived slightly hard as if freshly thawed, & for reasons unknown, contained chocolate chunks. Not offensive, just… puzzling.
Service also had a slightly frantic energy. Within the first ten minutes of sitting down, we were visited three times - including once within the first thirty seconds asking if we were ready to order. At 5:30 p.m., with the restaurant nearly empty, it felt less like attentiveness & more like we might be gently encouraged to eat quickly & move along.
Add to that a few small but noticeable details - shaky tables & water glasses that weren't quite clean when we sat - & the overall experience didn't quite match the price point. The plating was also surprisingly simple for dishes positioned at this level.
In the end, one can't help but wonder if the prices are influenced more by the view & the high-rent location than by what arrives on the plate.
Our rating is higher than it should be due to the fact that the cocktails were pretty solid. Same bar as the other two restaurants above it. We would reccomend skipping all three for food, & just drink at the bar instead.
Was pleasantly surprised, was expecting an overhyped restaurant because of beautiful view. Food was quiet tasty, playlist was really vibing (r&b 00s), nice atmosphere. Best dishes: steak, veal tonnato, radiatori spicy pasta & tiramisu (different but very tasty)
Absolutely incredible service & experience! We went on Valentine's Day without a reservation, fully expecting to be turned away, but Luca went above & beyond to make sure our night was still special. Even though there was no room at Cappello initially, he personally walked us downstairs to Sora 45, where another wonderful gentleman took great care of us & found us a table.
Later in the evening, Luca somehow managed to get us a table back upstairs at Cappello. Truly exceptional hospitality. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, & the service made us feel genuinely valued. We both had amazing pasta dishes & delicious cocktails. A perfect night thanks to an outstanding team. We can't wait to come back! Thank you Luca & our waitress Selena :)
Cappello made for a lovely evening, with beautiful views that immediately set the mood. We started with a white fish carpaccio that was delicately seasoned, followed by parmesan chicken & salads that were flavorful, & nicely balanced. The food was excellent, & the wine list offered plenty of good options to pair with the meal. Service was welcoming, & while it's definitely on the pricier side, the combination of great dishes, nice wine, & scenic setting made it feel like a special experience worth splurging on.
Super nice location & view of the city, attentive staff, delicious dishes & variety, only downside is the labyrinth it is to get there! Overall recommended spot.
I recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant Capello that left me with a sour taste. The service was incredibly slow, with waitstaff seeming disinterested & inattentive. It took an eternity for our orders to arrive, & when they finally did, the food was underwhelming. The dishes lacked flavor & were poorly cooked. The presentation was sloppy, & it was evident that little effort was put into the preparation. To make matters worse, the prices were exorbitant for the low-quality food & subpar service. Overall, it was a regrettable dining experience that I wouldn't recommend to anyone
