Little Capo

Little Capo - Review - New Town - Edinburgh - The Infatuation

"Sometimes all you want is woozy lighting and a bowl of ox cheek ragù, and Little Capo knows that. The Italian restaurant on a steep corner in New Town is the persuasive type, all martinis and big bowls of rigatoni, and from the moment you walk in there’s a wave of happy chatter in squint-worthy lighting that tells you it's a very successful combination. There are plenty of close-knit banquette tables to share zucchine fritte across and the white-tiled bar is tailor-made for ones and twos. The pasta is comforting, if a little over, and the tiramisu similarly wholesome on the cream front. Still, the golden martini, complete with a side plate of pickles, is enough to win us over." - Jake Missing
