Il Capitano Italian

Our starters arrived, and they were decent. My partner ordered scallops and was rather disappointed to find only two bite-sized pieces on his plate. My partner’s dad jokingly asked for a generous amount of parmesan on his starter, suggesting he would love the whole portion. The owner took this joke literally and proceeded to dump the entire contents onto his plate. Then our main courses arrived. One dish ended up on the table, as the drunk owner managed to drop a calzone in front of us, splattering sauce all over my partner’s shirt.

The food was absolutely amazing and exceeded all my expectations. I never thought Italian cuisine could be this excellent outside of Italy, especially on Leatherhead High Street. The owner, Giovanni, is a fantastic host who delivers outstanding service. I highly recommend this restaurant; it’s clear why people come from far and wide to dine here, and it’s no surprise that it has remained popular over the years. We feel fortunate to have such incredible food right in our neighborhood, and I regret waiting so long to give it a try. Thank you for your warm hospitality!

The overall atmosphere of this restaurant is quite gloomy. The waitstaff were friendly, but it took a long time for our food to arrive; we waited about 30 minutes for a burnt garlic cheesy bread that was topped with a blob of unmelted mozzarella. The main course was rather average and not particularly flavorful. Additionally, the prices are steep—£19 for a risotto—which I don't believe is worth it. I wouldn't consider returning to this restaurant.
