Little Capo
📍18 Howe Street, EH3 6TG
Just a short stroll from Stockbridge on Howe Street, Little Capo has made a name for itself with its relaxed atmosphere, creative menu and Italian-inspired approach to dining.
Describing itself as "Italian-ish", the restaurant has built a devoted following for its seasonal dishes, excellent cocktails and welcoming dining counter. During his visit, Stanley Tucci described the Pasta alla Norma as the "pinnacle" of his meal before summing up the restaurant with the words:
"They call themselves Italian-ish, I call them very, very good."
High praise from someone whose love of Italian food has taken him across the country and around the world.
