Il Capitano Italian Restaurant in Mole Valley

Amazing food and fabulous ambriace it’s the best restaurant around it’s full of atmosphere we loved it will be back.. I highly recommend this restaurant you won’t be disappointed.

We were there for lunch today. The restaurant was entirely empty except for 1 other table. We waited 30 minutes for order to be taken and then 2 hours for the mains to arrive. The tomatoe soup tasted like microwaved pasta sauce from a can. The mains were not tasty at all. The wine was ok but not worth the £195 we spent for a lunch for 3. The manager said the chef was new but clearly the set up is not working.

Great food and service; will go again.

The overall atmosphere in this place is very dingy. The waitresses were pleasant but the food took ages to come out, we were waiting for around 30 minutes for a burnt garlic cheesy bread to arrive topped with an unmelted ball of mozzarella. The main course was very mediocre and overall not very tasty. The food is extremely expensive £19 for a risotto - I wouldn’t return to this restaurant as I don’t think it is worth the money.

Our meal was spoilt by burnt pizza bases, hence the low score (but not charged for pizzas). Will probably try again but cannot yet recommend.

Lovely meal, good service and very reasonable prices. We had a lovely time. Well worth a visit

Really very good and very pleasant staff. I highly recommend.

Lovely food was a bit quiet for Saturday night. waiters were great food lovely. We have been before and enjoyed it that time too

I really like it, it is like having dinner in Italy fantastic food service that feel like you are part of the family, and good service. Will come again.

Excellent food, great service, fantastic value and friendly staff. The perfect combination. Seriously this is amazing Italian food in Leatherhead High Street.

Amazing restaurant..from start to finish this restaurant has a lot to offer the food is the best in the area for sure it has lots of ambiance and very good service extremely clean, yes I highly recommend this restaurant GO…

Incredible food, totally surpassed my expectations. I really didn’t think Italian food could be this good outside of Italy, let alone on Leatherhead high street. The owner Giovanni is a wonderful host and provides excellent service. I would totally recommend this restaurant and I see why people travel from far and wide to come here, it’s no wonder it has stood the test of time. We feel pretty lucky to have access to such good food on our local high street, shame we left it so long before trying it out. Thank you for your hospitality.

Soup starter described as "tomato" but unrecognisable; it had never seen a tomato. The worst I've ever had. Christmas menu turkey good, Puglia red wine very good. Overpriced. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it.

Excellent food, dessert , drinks, special service, well presented tables, very friendly and polite staff

Everything was perfect! Would definitely go back. Staff were friendly, Food was perfect and the place had a great vibe!

Excellent food , great boss , plus top class friendly attentive service to our large group, we were looked after like family . Thank you

Very nice food but beware of the chairs! One of our party unfortunately ended up with wet trousers because it had been taken from their outside area unbeknown to us. We complained to the Manager called Max and the owner Giovanni came over to see us, he was a little worse for wear, we asked for the bill. There was no offer of any monies off for any dry cleaning so we took their service charge off and left the premises. As we crossed the road outside, the owner Giovanni hurled vile verbal abuse at us and took pictures of our car. I offered him our address but he wasn’t interested. I would say if HE is in the restaurant then avoid it like the plague!!

The midweek lunch deal is always excellent.

I believe that you should pay the price on the menu! Why should I be charged 12.5% service charge when I’m dining alone & only had a single course of average food & by the way average service. It’s unethical!

A little part of Italy in the middle of Leatherhead high street.

Best Italian in Leatherhead! Amazing food and service. Pastas were great and pizzas were to die for. Services was very good considering it was a big group of us. This was the second time visiting and I will be back soon.

Pizza oven broke while making it, which is bad luck, but….salad had bugs in it, which my sister only saw at the end of the meal. Sainsburys salad leaves not washed properly (direct quote) such a huge shame as the pasta and beer were lovely at that point. Walked out!!

We come here regularly as locals and have previously never had much of an issue (minus slow service). Today we took our whole family for lunch for my husbands birthday including siblings, parents, 2 young children etc. first we get told the pizza oven is broken after we have all ordered pizzas, which probably couldn’t be helped. I ordered their chicken salad which I’ve had previously and was good but this time it tasted and smelt a bit off - I picked at it a bit and then eventually gave up. I then suddenly noticed at least 3 maggot looking insects crawling around in my bowl - it was totally repulsive and I felt sick to my stomach. The owner did apologise but did not take responsibility and blamed the local supermarket for not washing their salad. We walked out and left and will never be returning. We all feel repulsed and shocked by the experience and it ruined our entire day.

Lovely staff, very professional the food was delicious, & fresh I would definitely recommend coming here

Really lovely and when weather is nice sitting outside is nice !

Such a shame. Just tried to call to ask about supporting a small business enquiring about a raffle prize. Was cut very short. Shame a small community company didnt want to help a fellow one when offering to spend money on a dining voucher just asked for a small discount. Lost out on a lot of social media coverage.

I can’t understand why this restaurant has any 5 star reviews. Get comfy, this may be a long one. We walked in and was met by an extremely intoxicated male (which i’ve now learnt is the owner). Obviously we didn’t know this at first, assumed he was full of charisma and just wanted to be friendly. He took our drink order as one would. I asked for a glass of pinot and somehow ended up with two. He laughed and said ‘guess this is mine now!’. We chuckled with little knowledge of what kind of experience we were about to have. Our starters came, they were decent. My partner had ordered scallops and you could imagine the delight on his face when he was greeted with 2 bite sized pieces. My partner’s dad asked for some parmesan on his starter. Made the joke he’d love the whole thing. The owner then proceeded to dump the whole thing on his plate. He took the joke quite literal. Our mains arrived. One ended up on the table. The drunk owner managed to plop a whole calzone in front of us, with the sauce spraying all over my partner’s top. With 5 pretty shocked faces, he then picked up the sauce with his fingers and placed it back on top of the calzone. With no apology, he took it back inside. He then waited about 2 minutes, brought it back out with half a tub of rosemary as an attempt to cover up the mess and tried to give the calzone he had dropped on the table previously BACK TO MY PARTNER. Once confronted, he asked if we wanted black pepper - yes you’ve read that correct - no apology and ignored the fact he had just brought out a second hand calzone. Every now and then i’d look up and meet his eyes, staring at us through the glass that separated the inside and outside of the restaurant. I thought it would be a one off but was terrified to look back and see him still staring. He seemed shocked someone was eating there, that or he had seen a ghost. After scoffing a whole spaghetti dish and pizza 2 tables away from us, he collected our plates. As he stumbled into the distance, we heard a crash. You’d never guess what he had dropped, every single plate. Would 10/10 never recommended this place to anyone. Everyone who worked there seemed fed up of his behaviour. On a brighter side there was a lovely young man there - didn’t catch his name. He was polite and should definitely look elsewhere for employment.

L’Ultimo is a great option if you like hearty Italian fare in a fun, engaging environment. Giovanni wears his heart on his sleeve and this comes across in the food, wine and atmosphere. There aren’t many local Italians with super Tuscans on the wine list either. We live locally and have been coming here with friends and family for 5 years. We love it.

Absolutely delicious food, wonderful relaxing atmosphere. We came as a large group of adults and children and ordered a large variety of meals and all of them were gorgeous, authentic, fresh and full of flavour. The service was exceptionally good, friendly and attentive. Would give more than 5 stars if I could! Please go and enjoy the incredible restaurant!

This used to be good. Tonight might have been the worst meal of my life. There was no one else eating there on a Friday so I guess everyone knew. When we complained they said pay what you want and switched the lights off. It was my wife's birthday. DON'T GO THERE!

Let me start by saying I had to pay £17 for small portion of gluten-free pasta dipped in butter and a couple vegetable shavings 😢😢and they wanted to charge me extra because it was gluten-free 😢😢 The place was huge and nicely decorated, and yes, they do have special offer on for lunch, but if you miss the lunch deals it’s overly priced for the food quality that you get.

Slow and chaotic service. Waited 45mins for inedible burnt garlic bread. Left before our mains arrived. Tribute singer in the restaurant so couldn’t talk. Bizarre situation. Over charged on drinks and left in absolute disgust.

looks nice but food very 80s! coffee terrible for an italian! no selection of mills! coffee was milky and burnt! service however very good and friendly

Great lunch I ordered puttanesca pasta off menu but and my companion ordered carbonara both were excellent plus a dessert and coffee and cocktail all for £60 inc service.

Excellent value and variety of lunch specials. Genuine authentic Italian food experience in authentic pleasant Italian restaurant surroundings. Very pleasant and efficient staff. A great lunch venue for both business and private lunches presided over by the attentive and personable owner Giovanni.

Amazing food and the staff were great. The entertainment was unexpected and so appreciated - an Elvis impersonator got everyone up and dancing!! We had such an amazing time. However, one waiter was drunk out of his mind from the moment we got there. At...

We ate in here last Saturday as a table of 12, the service was slow, food was missing, and some chicken was under cooked. These things happen sometimes but the biggest issue for me was the amount of booze that was added to our bill,...

So…. Where to start? 1. Slowest service we’ve ever experienced. No reasons given, no apology, no compensation. Just waiting…. And waiting and waiting 2. Mediocre food at best. M&S instant Italian food would have been better. 3. The bill - dear lord. Astronomical and utterly...

We was warmly welcomed. Everything was so delicious and seafood was fresh. Feels like I'm in abroad

What a fabulous night we had on Friday! This was the first time we had dined out at the restaurant and it didn't disappoint! Why why why hadn't we been there before? I think this is now my new favourite place to have a meal! The staff were wonderful, the food absolutely delicious and the live entertainment excellent! We will definitely be back!

Went for 8 year olds birthday meal. He wanted pizza so we picked here. Food was great, plenty to go around and tasted great. Service to notch. The cherry on top was they had a singer in who sang happy birthday to him. A night to remember, thanks L'Ultimo..

Delicious food and wonderful staff.

Going often with family. Excellent food and service. 👍🏻

Fantastic restaurant, beautiful decor. Great selection of wines & food choices. Great and friendly staff. Food to die for! Thank you Gio, Paulito and team for looking after me! All respect 🙏 Lot of love ❤

As always welcoming with great food & service.

The evening was a fund raiser for a small local charity Dyscover that helps stroke survivors with disabilities and Aphasia a great quiz night with a lovely Italian meal

Lovely place, fantastic staff, amazing evening, heavily recommended, will be back 100% our favorite place in Surrey, Milena and Bart, thank you guy again for amazing night!!!

Not sure how many times we've been here. The food is better than anything you get in Surrey and the service is brilliant. Some dishes on the menu, like the swordfish carpaccio, are not ones I've seen before or since. Amazing restaurant

Great food and what looks like a fun place at the weekend. Great service

Excellent food, sea food and pizza specially. Warm ambience and friendly courteous staff.

I loved the place and the food. The staff were brilliant and the environment in the restaurant is fun and welcoming. We all sang happy birthday for a friend, they put some of our favorite Italian songs... I'll be back to try some of the pizzas and have a good time again! I had carbonara pasta and it was OK, not amazing though. So I would recommend trying some of the other pastas!

Great food, although we did think the grilled veg starter was a little bland.

Had a fantastic meal with a friend here. I very much recommend the gnocchi, it was superb. And the service was lovely too.

Food was very nice, considering it was Valentines night it wasn't very romantic. The music was loud and not sure if it was the owner but he decided it was a good idea to bring out the guitar and sing along ( which really wasn't great). Probably won't go back

Very nice food, good service and would go back

The owner Giovanni is the top guy! The stuff is very friendly and the chief outstanding. Had the work xmas party there this year. The food was great. Also, lunch menu: pizza or pasta for 5£ is an outstanding value

Attentive staff, great decor and atmosphere, and the food was lovely too!

Just a real gem in Leatherhead, not your average Italian, freshly prepared, home style cooking, have visited twice on two weeks and will be back. It's very very well priced for midweek lunchtime.

ランチで訪問 5ポンドのランチオファーじゃなくスペシャルをオーダー、美味しかったけどランチオファーも美味しそうでした。 残念なのがカニのリングイーネが少々茹で過ぎだったかも。でも美味しかったです。 また来ます。ご馳走様でした。 _------------- ロックダウン緩和後に再訪問。 なかなか行けずごめんなさい。 いや〜美味しかったです。 僕はカニとトマトのリングイーニをメインでオーダー。茹で具合も完璧！子供達のペンネのボロネーゼも美味しかったです。 月に１回は通いたいなあ。 ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー うまい!!!!! Eat out to Help out のサポートを兼ねて訪問、何度かジェラートを食べに訪問しましたがお店の雰囲気、スタッフの対応、空気感から良店と思いましたが今回の訪問て確信。 メインのスパゲティの茹で加減、エビの火の入れ加減ベストです。 スタッフのサービスも心地よくまた訪れたいです。 ジェラートも美味なのでお子様連れのご家族、デ-トでも使えるレストランです。 自信を持っておすすめできるイタリアンレストランなので★4つです。 また訪れます!

Delicious food and excellent service.

The Service is horrible, went there and they mixed up the bill twice on top of that I asked for gluten free pasta or pizza at the beginning they said they do gluten free pizzas but then came back and said they don't so I said what is gluten free so I ordered a pasta Bolognese supposely gluten free. They came back with a lasagne and then after everyone was nearly finished eating they brought the pasta said that it was gluten free but it clearly was not you can tell difference between gluten free pasta's and non gluten pasta , I couldn't finish it because gluten gives me allergies and does not sit well. So if anyone has any allergies I do not recommend going here because you never know what the food may contain

Great for lunch, they have great lunch deals.

Staff are very friendly and polite, great food, will be returning.

Food and drink were good however they made a couple of errors with our order including me ending up with the wrong main dish. Would normally expect to be offered a reduction in the bill or a free desert / coffee for that but we still charged full price. Starters were very small for the price as well. For the price, expected a bit better service tbh!

Omg 😲 every morsel was a delight. Genuinely pleased to find this gem. Staff are so accommodating and communicative. If I'm ever in the area again I'm straight there

Lovely atmosphere that quite literally feels like it transports you away on holiday. The food is good and well done, and the staff are attentive and helpful.

Enjoyed a very pleasant evening meal here tonight. The service was exceptional, very attentive and helpful, great menu and the food was excellent. We sat outside in the gazebo part which was lovely, heated , was like eating out whilst your on holiday. Highly recommend this place to anyone , you will have a great time great food and great service.

I was disappointed. I didn't book and I showed up at 5 pm with my wife for an early diner. It was empty"ish". We were given until 6.30pm, plenty of time. So far so good. We ordered the largest platter to share (del Cappo) and I followed with a pizza calzone. I ordered that because when we arrived the table next to us was being served pizzas that looked amazing including a calzone that was huge. Well... my calzone arrived and it was half that size and it had very little filling, except in the very middle. I was so annoyed. It didn't meet expectations in the least. I had ordered wine, etc. The platter was nothing special. It doesn't require any effort except slicing salami and ham and a few vegetables. My calzone was just disappointing. Only the canollo was good and crispy. Over £100 for 2 and just an "I am sorry" from the waitress and manager. Not going back

Great food and very attentive staff

Buy a take away. When i eat one tube, i find it. What do u want to prove ? To prove your restaurant wash pot? Terrible! Throw the first one. OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE, SECOND ONE! SECOND ONE! What's wrong with your restaurant? Or cus i buy a take away, u don't mind.

It was good, but fish item is too costly, it is not much enough portion for £21.

Had the scallops to start, they forgot to cook them!

Very friendly service, food arrived quickly and presentation was lovely. Only slight disappointment was the tiramasu dessert. Was expecting more flavour from an Italian restaurant, couldn't taste any coffee and generally, the portions sizes were small considering the price but couldn't fault anything else and you are definately made to feel welcome even if just stopping by for a coffee or a glass of wine so yes, would recommend this lovely restaurant and welcoming, attentive staff.

Il 15 Agosto 2021,io e la mia amica Abbiamo mangiato al ultimo. Abbiamo preso antipasto della casa. Bruschetta con polipo e crema di fagioli. Panciotti salsiccia melanzane e funghi Tagliolini speak tartufo e funghi. Torta della nonna Cannolo siciliano Prima dell antipasto e stato servito il pane olive, olio e aceto. Pane buono di sapore ma non lievitato bene era molto pesante olive molto buone. Antipasto della casa.e arrivato una mozzarella ricoperta a casaccio da melanzane, peperoni, carciofi & salumi. Mozzarella 0 qualità Salumi ok Verdure grigliate senza sapore. Polipo è arrivato senza bruschetta, in più aveva un odore forte di pesce vecchio. (Era negli speciali del giorno) Abbiamo Richiesto di sostituirlo con le bruschette. Bruschette il pane tagliato talmente alto che era impossibile mangiarle con un morso, poco lievitato quindi molto pesante tostato malissimo diciamo Quasi non tostato,pomodori senza sapore. Panciotti buonissimi la cottura era perfetta e anche il condimento era molto buono. Tagliolini.. penso che abbia visto 5 fettine di porcino qualche pezzo di guanciale e due fette intere di speak… Tartufo… L unico tartufo che c’era in quel piatto era L olio al tartufo infatti I tagliolini erano zuppi d olio. Sinceramente quasi 20 pound per un primo mi sarei aspettata almeno un po’ di tartufo nero grattugiato, sopratutto di questo periodo stagionale il prezzo è molto basso. Dolci Torta della nonna presentazione carina sapore buono, è una torta comprata non fatta da loro. Cannolo la ricotta nel cannolo buonissima. Abbiamo preso oltre questo una bottiglia D acqua e un lattina di limonata. 45 pound a testa. Il punto sta che sinceramente questo pranzo non valeva assolutamente questo costo. I prezzi sono alti per quello che viene servito. Ho pagato gli stessi soldi in un ristorante 3 Rosette 3 course meal e credimi c’è li valeva tutti, anche di più. Cameriere con gli occhiali Molto educato e cortese, non mi ricordo il nome.

Can't comment on food, sat down 10mins with no attention so left, place wasn't even half full. Not an acceptable level of service

Amazing atmosfere and good service ..

Was excellent value and delicious food great efficient staff absolutely brill thank you x

Lovely food, fresh and flavoursome but the service was a little slow. We sat outside and seemed to be forgotten about. It won't put me of returning soon as that minor problem is a small price to pay for the food quality. We will be back

Delicious food and a really nice atmosphere. Really good selection of food, I wish we could have tried everything!! The only thing I will say is that I found it a little pricey for the cuisine; mains started at around £20. Maybe Leatherhead is just an expensive area, but £100 for dinner for two people, when we only had one drink each, and no steak, was a bit of a surprise! Like I said though, the food was amazing, would definitely recommend, there was a nice ambiance too, with music and a lovely set-up.

Lovely restaurant, really delicious food and friendly service.

Food was as you’d expect and came quick. But the attentiveness and speed of service was extremely bad under the circumstances: Only a couple of occupied tables in the restaurant, and 2 waiters and a manager walking around, but somehow they managed not to notice that customers may need something. No less than 20 minutes waiting for someone to come and pickup our finished plates, offer deserts or ask if we needed anything, in an almost empty restaurant. While one waiter is doing dishes or something and then going to watch some TV, almost purposefully ignoring customers. Totally, totally unacceptable. I guess this is what you do when the service charge is already included in the bill and you have to pay it for wasting your time. Spoiled the whole day, stay away.

The food is tasty and the staff are very engaged and friendly with some of the tables, which are probably regulars. This place has a very personable feel and gives me the impression that they truly appreciate you being there. The ambience is great,I'd definitely recommend

Great service, tasty pizza, first rate experience. Giovanni has pioneered the "al fresco" vibe in Leatherhead.

Lovely food, beer and very friendly and professional staff.

I was very disappointed in this place. pricelist set for days from Monday to Friday. Valuable some dishes on the weekend 3 times higher and, in addition, the cuisine is really not recommendable. My first visit ended with an inflated bill for a bottle of wine that we had not ordered, the second time one more beer was added. I understand the lockdown pandemic, but to make up for the losses in this way ?!

Spent a wonderful afternoon here. Amazingly staff and service. And the food.... even better. Will be coming for sure. Stilll here while writing the review

Very nice steak, good sized kids meals, and lovely service.

Had the best night at Lultimo’s. Not only was the food sensational but the owner Giovanni made it feel as though we were at the best party at his house. Never had an experience like it, can’t wait to go back.
