El Capitano - Woodfired Pizzeria & Cocktail Bar

Sad this place has gotten so popular as it’s not as good as it used to be. Me and my friend dined here and everyone was friendly but we were slightly put off when immediately on sitting down the waiter told us we only had 90 mins which I’m aware of but felt like we were rushed, if you want a relaxing long dinner don’t go here. Also when we left there was so so many empty tables around us so not sure why they wanted us out so quick. Anyway. The food and pizza is good, quite expensive and definitely not as delicious as it used to be sadly. Glad they still cater for vegans and gluten free diets

Delicious woodfired pizzas with great flavour and a lovely rustic style — fresh toppings, a beautifully blistered crust, and plenty of character. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and our young waitress was genuinely friendly and attentive, which made the experience feel warm and personal. It was a bit noisy, especially as the night went on, so it’s not the place for a quiet dinner. Still, the food and service make it well worth a visit. Booking is recommended, as it fills up quickly.

We walked up on a weekend evening with no reservations, but they were able to accommodate for a table for two. Wonderful service, great atmosphere and delicious food. We had the wild mushroom pizza that was amazing! Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a great surprise! The tiger prawn pasta was amazing as well. We will definitely be back!

Proper dough, all crispy and caramelised.. delicious toppings.. the best pizza. Cocktails 🍹 made very well and a happy, friendly team who serve you well. Music cool to bop along to. A great experience to chill and have a good time with family and friends.

We didn't have a reservation however the team were able to seat us which was great however it did go downhill from there. The service went downhill over the course of the evening, we ordered a glass of wine each and one was totally forgotten about for 15 minutes before we could flag it to somebody. When our starters came the waitress knocked over the water glass and just left the table wet. Our starters came at the same time and we had only barely finished them before one of our mains came (brisket paperdelle - delicious) and after the wine we checked there is a pizza to come? we were assured yes so the pasta was eaten and finished then five minutes after finishing the pasta the pizza arrived. As we were not sharing these meals we just had to watch the other eat. When we raised this as a disappointment we were told "yes, the kitchens don't talk to each other, sorry about that" and then the waitress proceeded to ignore us until we had to chase down the bill to leave. Wouldn't rush back.

Super lovely staff, especially the guys at the bar. I went by myself on a very busy night, but they still took amazing care of me and made me feel really welcome. The cocktails were excellent too 😊

I ordered the crab pasta and it was extremely disappointing. It tasted like tomato and water — no salt, no seasoning, and no real flavour at all. Easily the worst pasta I’ve ever had. This was particularly disappointing as I chose the place after seeing it featured in promotional videos. The pizza was okay, but unfortunately the pasta completely ruined the experience. I wouldn’t order it again.

Pizza was delicious and the cocktails were sensational. Lucas in the bar had a great sense of humour and had us laughing all night. Max and the staff here were all so friendly and made our night so special.
