Capitano

Melbourne


Capitano is a New York–style Italian restaurant in Melbourne's most Italian suburb. That means it's fun, busy and delicious. The plain 'tomato pie' is a contender for best pizza, while conchiglie (shell) pasta in vodka sauce and tiramisu are must-orders. There's also a fab wine list of Italian drops and grape varietals. We love the terrazzo floor and vibey atmosphere.
