We visited as a group of 18 on New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. With a lot of kids, we definitely weren't the easiest group to accommodate but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The pizzas were delicious and we received absolutely fantastic service from Shannon and Kate! The went above and beyond for us and were so lovely and polite. Well worth a visit!

Ordered online, charged £40, food never delivered and restaurant says they can't do anything. Think twice before ordering online here

First time at Il Capitano to try the pizza and pasta. Busy even though it was early on a wet Friday evening. Pleasant greeting as we arrived. Good choice of pasta and pizza with decent wine and choice of beer. My draught Poretti was spot on and our Italian Merlot very good too. Service was attentive and we enjoyed our calamari and bruscetta starters the bruscetta com alice was particularly good. Our carnivore pizza and gamberoni pasta left us with no room for dessert. Pizza had plenty of toppings and a nice speckled crust but the base was a bit soft. Pasta was fresh nicely al dente with plenty of prawns. Good enough for us to book again for the family 👍👍

Been here numerous and never let down by the quality of the food or the service. The pizza is neapolitan style and up there with the best around. Service is always super quick and friendly - it's worth a visit just to see Mike working the room! There's outdoor seating (weather permitting) and on a sunny day there are far worse places to sit enjoying cocktails or a refreshing lager beer. Good value for money, given the quality you get, I would highly recommend a visit

Its a bit of a random location in an old pub in the middle of knotty Ash. However the current owners have done a good job of transforming the decor in to what almost feels like a greek/fish restaurant vibe. The cuisine is Italian however and the Italian food is very good indeed. The pizzas are the best I've had outside of Naples. The caesar salad dressing is homemade and delicious. It would be great to see the addition of some pasta dishes. But with what they do offer, hey do it well and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Shout out to the manager who is always welcoming

Popped in by chance, which happened to be an hour before they were due to open. Mike was really lovely and allowed us in early. Pizzas were lovely, decor really nice, fresh and clean. Great playlist to listen to, and Mike was ready to talk about the menu abd also had a good sense of humour. Definitely recommend 👌

An unexpected visit, but as we drove past we couldn't help but notice the boat outside, and that made us stop. Curiosity meant we ventured in and as soon as we were through the door we were given a very warm welcome. Great table by the window (with boat view) and an excellent menu with plenty of vege options. 2 pizzas and fries left us full and extremely satisfied. We'll be coming back even though it is a fair bit of a drive from where we live. Highly recommend. Good luck to them as they've only been open since August. They were giving pizzas to the nurses on strike today too, so bonus point. Solidarity. x

This restaurant s style is beautiful, and service lovelly, only down side is the pizzas need a bit off a crispy base instead off floppy, and a couple off pasta dishes would make this place a big hit with a lot off ppl in the area, I love the lemoncello spritz in here lovelly, just please add some more dishes apart from pizza to give us none pizza lovers a chance off coming more regularly

My husband and I visited Il Capitano's last night for a valentines date, as this style of pizza is our favourite! We always drive past and have been meaning to try it, so we did. Upon arrival the first thing I noticed was the décor is brilliant, the boat outside, the lovely blue colours like your in the med and the rustic lighting, not to forget the focal point...that fantastic authentic pizza oven 😍. Great attention to detail with the lemons and prints/pictures dotted about, along with the table bucket with a choice of cutlery and serviettes. (including pizza wheels for cutting). The atmosphere was evident although there were only a few customers as it was early evening, it got busier through the evening. The music was great and the volume wasn't too much. The candles added a nice ambiance. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we were offered our free drink on arrival as part of the valentines day booking. We got a bottled beer and it came chilled with a glass and lemon. I did notice all the soft drinks were in cans also which is great. Onto the food, we ordered the calamari and garlic bread for starters followed by a pepperoni each (or a Diavola for the Italians) with a garlic aioli and another beer to wash it down because the first one was so good. The calamari was fresh in a light tempura, it came with fresh lemon and a lemon aioli. The garlic bread was a pizza base with garlic butter and cheese, what's not to like. Then the pizza, which for us is the main event. It was authentic and the dough, pepperoni and cheese were good, it was a bit heavy on the tomato for a Neapolitan style pizza and the tomatoes didn't taste like san Manzano's, in my opinion, but it says they are so lets blame 'covid' for possibly affecting my taste long term. The garlic Aioli even seemed to be homemade, not bought, as it had raw garlic in, you could taste the heat, better than some garlic mayo squeezed out a bottle like some places. When the food was served we were even offered additional condiments without having to ask. The bill came in at £48 plus tip. All in all, it was very good, don't go into town, support your local business' when they are this decent. You can 100% see the effort they are putting in here. The 4* is based on the overall experience, there is always room for growth/tweaks as this is a new business. The only thing I would say is the mirrored décor is beautiful but if your gonna have that it needs to be polished because it makes it look dirty when smeared and the restaurant is clean other than that, including the immaculate toilets!! Very enjoyable, good quality, will return!! 😃🍕

Pizzas are great, draft beer very nice, indeed, staff friendly and really nice atmosphere. I would only say the salads need a bit of work, the ‘warm’ goats cheese and roast veg was cold and bread in it chewy. If they pick up their game on the salads this absolutely would be my favourite local restaurant. Nevertheless I would highly recommend a visit.
