I hosted The Speakeasy at Capo Deli for my 50th Birthday party. Everything was easy. The staff (Patrick, Rohit and Sam) were excellent to work with both during the planning phase and the day of the party. Guests loved the venue. The food was great. Highly recommend!

Capo was the best choice we could have made for our mid-sized wedding. Patrick, the owner, and staff were very accommodating, friendly, and flexible. As the married couple, we have described the night as perfect. The food was quoted as “death row level” delicious by one guest.
