Not bad, not the best by any means. Ordered via DoorDash and prices were steep even for delivery. About $19+ for a full sub. Got the roasted pork and it was on the bland side. It was sliced thin but then melted in your mouth similar to tuna salad? I added honey mustard which helped on flavor. The portion is large but the meal itself was nothing to write home about. read more

New deli located in Cabin John! They had deli subs (cold and hot options), some pasta, desserts, some alcoholic drinks. A good variety of stuff! Had some seating and a cute chalkboard wall that you could draw on. When we were here we saw most people grab their food to go! I really enjoyed the Italian and meatball sub! read more

Capo Deli has a menu full of classic, from cold Italians to cheesesteaks and meatball subs. I should have read the reviews before ordering, because I did end up disappointed. I ordered a small cheesesteak on seeded Italian bread. There was one customer in front of me who ordered a sandwich, but it still took 10+ minutes for mine to come out. 10 minutes isn't a crazy long wait or anything, but I was surprised since it was peak lunch time and the restaurant was empty. My actual review of the cheesesteak aligns with what I've seen on other reviews. The subs and sandwiches are extremely thin, with very little meat and cheese. For $15+, I would have liked my sandwich to be packed with more steak. I could barely taste the cheese too. read more

Went for a quick late lunch and the place was empty. I liked the ambiance, nice and new and clean. Decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of selections of cold and hot subs with choice of 3 different breads, as well as some hot entrees and desserts. Had a turkey sub with Italian bread with sesame seeds. The bread didn't have the golden brown toast like the website, but was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside - I enjoyed the texture, but it did scratch up my gums. The sub didn't have any condiments like mayo and mustard and was pretty dry, guess you have to ask for it. The turkey itself was also dry. A very average sub. For $18 for a large sub (about a foot long) and $14 for a small, the value wasn't there. I might go back and try some other subs. read more

I got the Chicken Fontina the first time I dined here, and it was good (even if the chicken was burnt around the edges). The extra aioli and banana peppers I requested made up for it. The second time? The chicken was so burnt around the edges, and the aioli was scant. The front register employee was kind enough to provide more upon request, but the sandwich still wasn't doable. read more

I have gotten sandwiches and lasagna from this place. The sandwiches are very good but I was not impressed by the lasagna - it seemed that the meat was borderline bad and I could only take one bite before throwing it out. read more

My wife and I love the food at Capo and love the ability to really customize the sandwiches (the seeded Italian bread is great) which is mostly what we get. However, they are incredibly inconsistent with both the service and food which just becomes more and more frustrating over time as we go once a month or so. Sometimes you have to wait 20 minutes longer than anticipated for your food. Sometimes you order extra cheese and there is no extra cheese. Sometimes you get the chicken parm sandwich and the sauce is all in the middle of the bread. Sometimes you order extra marinara on the side and you get home and it's not in the bag. And maybe 50% of the time, everything is fine. You get the idea. In addition to this, they have raised prices and started charging for some of the extras they used to give at no additional charge (like hot peppers). I don't have a problem with the increased prices specifically, but combined with the service/consistency issue, I think we'll find another place to get sandwiches for a while, but I must admit, it's disappointing, because Capo is so close and I really do love their sandwiches/food when I can get them in a timely manner they way I ordered them. read more

Sadly, disappointed. They had a team behind the counter just standing around. One cashier. One of serve kiosk that wasn't working properly. And when you ask for assistance, you're meet with deer in headlights. Then the cashier proceeds to take the person behind you instead. Everyone inside waiting for orders. I gave up. read more

Capo Deli - Chicken parm - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Potomac, Maryland

We've only ordered delivery from Capo Deli and overall our experience has been good. My husband and I love the Capo Special, and he said that the chicken parmigiano is also really great. Some of the best things here are how thin they slice their deli meats and of course their amazing Italian seeded bread. I think the first time we got sandwiches here they were truly perfection, the best Italian deli sandwiches we'd ordered since moving here. However, by the third time it was almost as if the deli meats had been sliced SO thin that they had congealed back into their non-sliced form and we felt like we were getting mouthfuls of the Italian deli blocks of meat, which considering how generous their portions are was a bit too much. So overall everything is delicious but there are just some minor issues with consistency; however, we will keep ordering from here! read more

I have always received the tuna sub and it has been outstanding. Two days ago, I purchased one and the bread was stale, ruining the entire sandwich. Please don't allow stale bread to be served. read more

This review is mainly about the menu choices, not the food, which may be very good. We didn't actually eat here. I came here with a few friends- it's a tiny place, but thought we could still find something for us to eat. We were surprised that most of menu didn't meet our needs. very meat heavy . how about more vegetarian options? I guess for those that enjoy meat sandwiches this place would be a hit, but for my friends and I who either don't eat meat or are gluten-free, this didn't fit the bill for us. read more

I've seen this place featured in a few articles and decided to give it a whirl on a beautiful, warm Spring day while my dog was groomed a few miles away. I had been meaning to give this place a shot for a few weeks now. I figured I'd get the Italian - which I believe is their flagship sandwich. I chose the seeded bread before I plopped myself down in front of the storefront window and waited no more than 10 minutes. I have to say, I don't really see what the fuss was about. First few bites, I could tell It was the most ultra mid sub I think I've had in a long time. The bread was a bit harder than I expected and I think they could have gone heavier on the meat, oil, and vinegar. This sub is something I could make better at home with just a bit of time and determination for way less than $20. And they served it on a wooden slab. I believe it has been established by now that serving things on wooden plates/slabs etc is a health risk and generally kind of gross because they can't be cleaned as thoroughly over time ... but what do I know? For what it's worth, they were out of a lot of the featured drinks too. A lot of people complained about the service. I did not have that issue. The service didn't knock my socks off anymore than the sub though. Noone came to check-in once after I got my food. For lunch time, they were not very busy. And I was the only one dining in. Not a good sign as I'm sure the rent they pay on the store is outrageous. The Cabin John shopping center they're in saw so many restaurants vanish during the pandemic. I can't see this place lasting long here even in better times. 20 bucks for a mediocre sub and drink, there's just better options. Jersey Mike's on an off day is better than this - I said what I said. If I come back I'd like to try some of their hot sandwiches but really and truly, if they can't nail something as vanilla as an Italian Sub, it's unlikely they can smash anything else. read more

Outstanding old school sub sandwich. Seeded Italian loaf is crispy on the outside and airy on the inside. Relish phenomenal. Perfectly stuffed with all the proper toppings for an old school experience. Our go-to for sub sandwiches the old fashioned way. Phenomenal! read more

Eat here all the time. Great subs. My fav. Is the cali cheese steak. Would recommend. read more

Online ordering or via call went well. However when I arrived to pick up the order the business felt chaotic. The person manning the counter was distracted with one other customer and there were people behind the counter and I wasn't sure what they were doing or working. I stood there for good 10 min when 3rd customer walked in and one of the people behind the counter immediately went to attend to this 3rd customer. Of course the customer ahead of me saw what minor injustice just took place and she spoke up on my behalf. Then finally someone asked if they can assist me. Food was alright but not worth going out of the way to try this place. Coupled with the poor service I received and bit of injustice I felt, giving them a 3 star. read more

I ordered an Italian sub. The tomatoes were pink, not red and flavorless. And there was no spice to the sandwich, which seems unusual. The quality of the meat was decent, but overall too expensive for little flavor. read more

Have been to this new location for Capo twice. I did not feel like the first time was a great representation of my experience since I was in a rush. The place is pretty well decorated with a pretty eclectic menu. The staff on both of my visits seemed so overwhelmed with tasks that it appeared to be a bother to stop and take my order. The deli also has a set way of making their sandwiches and "I felt" like the customizations (no onions - mayo instead of their special sauce) I requested was like I was breaking some golden rule. We ordered a few different sandwiches to share. The favorite was the cheesesteak. Lots of flavor. On the other sandwiches I felt like they were too wet - even after only 5 or 10 minutes. I hope this shop finds their way and I will be back to try again. My experience was not poor, but clearly evident of new shop jitters. read more

(3.25) ~ pretty good overall food & service MENU: * "The Italian" = (3.25) pretty good, although I should have gotten the softer "philly" bread roll, instead of the "seeded italian", which was too hard for me... * mini chocolate chip cookie = (3.25) pretty soft...wanted for chocolate chips though... read more

Ugh. I hate trying a new place and having a bad experience off the bat. Today, I ordered two subs: one Genoa salami and one roast beef. Got home, unwrapped one and it was clearly ham. Had to remove all the ham and eat the roll and fixings. It would've been acceptable if the roll wasn't so dry and I hadn't been craving salami, or you know, paid for salami. Had asked for dressing on the side for the roast beef sandwich. Any guesses as to whether they followed that direction? I would say I'd ask them to fully unwrap the sandwiches next time to show me they were correct, but there's probably not going to be a next time. read more

Great new take an Italian beef sandwich. Great deli. The cold Italian sandwich was also very good and very fresh. The bread was also really good on both sandwiches. read more

Ordered DoorDash a few times and they never include the free side items I requested on the side. They also skip on the meat. Paying for the extra Philly steak meat is like getting a standard size. This will probably be our last time ordering from Capo. We've been very disappointed multiple times now. read more

The first time I had a takeout sub from his place I loaded, having tried the Italian sub. It was so good that I ordered it together the next time we were to from them, and I'm usually the kind of person to try something different In order to explore the menu. However, the Italian sub was so good the first time that I had it again. It did not disappoint. The only downside is that it is quite expensive, but then again, everything these days is.. read more

Not great but not bad. Bread was dry, not the kind of sub roll I associate with an Italian sub place. Unfortunately Toast online ordering system doesn't permit customization as far as I could tell. The result was way too many onions and not enough mayo. We split a large sub. One half had considerably more meat than the other half, so my husband was happy but I wasn't. I've been there twice now and the young man at the counter is very pleasant, so that counts for something. But, honestly, I won't be back there anytime soon. read more

This restaurant is too casual about the kind of trauma they inflict on people's tastebuds and stomach. Literally the worst Philly cheesesteak I've ever gotten. Honestly, this was the worst meal I've ever had period. It was super soggy sandwich, super oily, tasteless and flavorless. Absolutely dreadful. Don't be silly like me to give them a chance. Everything went into the bin. Even the puny pinky sized cannoli. Waste of time, money, and they stole my joy for the day. read more

From Shaw to Pennsylvania Ave to Cabin John, Capo Deli is still terrible as always. Odd that they can't figure out how to make a good sandwich. Chicken cutlet was dry and old. If you're going to make chicken cutlet, you need to make it fresh! read more

I was super excited to visit on Grand opening and I have to say I was blown away by the ambience of this place. I felt so welcomed by the staff which was very friendly and professional. The food was fresh, tasty with many options to choose from. Capo was more than what I expected it to be! Looking forward to my next visit and working down the list on the menu to find which item will top off the rest. Go to Capo! I assure you it's worth the visit :) read more

It was the best Italian sub I ever had. The seeded roll was fresh and extremely tasty. The meat was sliced very thin but had plenty of it. The Potomac location is very nice.

Wonderful experience, I will be back soon. read more

Capo Deli - chicken fontina - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Potomac, Maryland

We went the day after it officially opened and it was excellent. We've been back twice since and its been poor at best. Its like the franchise "A-Team" (with the "Capo Car" out front) was there for the opening, and after they left it declined quickly. Both times since our initial visit - the orders were wrong (both sandwiches - yes, they are batting 1000%). The sandwiches were dry (pre-made?). The staff un-welcoming and seemed bothered to be bothered. It's a tragic shame. I was so hoping this this would replace the hole left by the untimely forced closure of Broadway. read more

Easily the best sub ever! My fiancé and I come here weekly! We love the roast beef & turkey sub or the turkey sub alone. The subs are made fresh to order, the veggies are always crispy and fresh and the meats are freshly sliced. the taste is IMMACULATE. hands down the BEST place to get a sub from in montgomery county. the ambiance inside is beautiful, clean, and very welcoming. everyone is always ready to help and very friendly. Joann, the manager, has outstanding customer service! I get excited to see her and say hi when I come. if you're wondering if you should try it, please do! read more

I am not a fan of the sandwiches but my husband loves the roast beef and provolone on the sesame bread. There is such a lack of service at this deli. It's amazing how long it takes for three guys in the kitchen to make one sandwich. Tonight I waited 40 minutes for a sandwich, and there were only two people in the store when I arrived. I wouldn't care if this was the best food ever; I would never come back. read more
