    We scattered to grab some food while in the Western Market, I picked Capo. I am attracted to Italian subs so when I saw that on the overhead menu, that's what I ordered. My order taker / sandwich maker got the job done. While it wasn't the best sub I've ever had it was pretty good. This Capo Italian Deli is a small place with some common tables in front of the business.

    The sub was great and you can't beat the price either. The bread was fresh and ingredients all tasted amazing together.

    I finally got my hands on a FAUCI POUCHY! PASSIONFRUIT MARGARITA - tequila, Chacho, passionfruit, mango, lime, agave, spice (I'm sipping this one as I type. Woo, Chile!) THE ORIGINAL - vodka, elderflower, mint lemonade, grapefruit OLD FASHIONED (not a pouchy) - Bourbon, sugar, angostura and orange bitters I was in the area and decided to grab some boozy sip-ups TO GO. Threw them in the freezer as soon as I got home. I couldn't wait for some slushy goodness. Will be back soon to check out a few of their cold cuts, hot subs, and desserts. __ IG: @f.hux I #yelp and I know things.

    Sm California Cheesesteak
    Anne-Olive N.

    GW students are blessed to have so many options to eat so close to campus! I ordered the small California cheese steak and was shocked at the size because it was bigger than I thought it would be. This is a definitely a nice sized portion for lunch. The California cheesesteak comes with the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The sub wasn't the best cheesesteak I've had, but it did the job. If the steak was seasoned, the sub would be a 5/5. The sesame bread is def a nice added touch. Great customer service and I would go back to try something different.

    Sm Meatball Parmigiana
    Erica S.

    I placed an order via UberEats for a small meatball parmigiana sub. The sub was delivered timely but it's missing marinara sauce. Just a dry meatball and cheese sub. Tried calling Capo and was the lady who answered the phone was initially dismissive. Kept asking if I'd contacted UberEats. I explained my issue wasn't with the delivery but with the food. She spoke to a manager who questioned my claim because the meatballs are supposed to be in a container with marinara sauce. I was also told to contact UE for options. No offers for resolution!

    Lg Capo Special
    Sebastian B.

    I went to the Capo Deli in Western Market. It was very clean and staff were very nice. I'm from Jersey so I've had my fair share of Italian Subs over the years. This sub was good, but I wouldn't say it's one of the better Italian subs I've had. The bread was very good and so was the meat, but I felt there was something missing even though I added some mayo. When I first bite into an Italian sub I get an immediate taste of the oil and vinegar while also getting those sharp onions into the mix. I didn't get that with this sub. Overall a good sub.

    Small spinach wrap
    Sung S.

    One of the best delis around! I am not a huge sandwich/deli person, but I really enjoyed Capo. I ordered my own small spinach wrap with honey ham, capicola, provolone cheese, sweet roasted peppers, sun dried tomatoes, onions, lettuce, mayo, and honey mustard. I don't know if the combination was just superb or if the deli is just great, but it worked. They weren't shy about putting in a lot of the ingredients--very generous with the amount of meat. I especially loved the sun dried tomatoes and sweet roasted peppers, it's worth the extra charge. I only had half the small wrap and it filled me up. Definitely going back!

    Once I heard there was a deli with a pickle bar within walking distance of our DC headquarters, I…read moreknew I had to go. My colleague who told me about this place jumped to join me for lunch. I wasn't anticipating a nice dining room to dine in, but there it was so we did. Although it was uncomfortably warm in there. Must have been something wrong with their A/C because they couldn't possibly always have it so warm, especially in the middle of summer. I ordered The Clevelander and she had The Mel. And of course we hit their awesome pickle bar! Why doesn't every deli in the universe have a pickle bar?! The sandwiches are piled high with meat and so delicious. Several complaints about mine, however: the menu said it comes with mayo and provolone. It came out with no spread at all so I was brought mayo packets to apply myself, which is way less than ideal with a huge already assembled sandwich. And the brand new server (on her second day there) came back after we ordered and asked if I wanted cheese. I mentioned I thought it listed a cheese on the menu, which she confirmed. But then I ended up getting charged extra for the cheese that my sandwich was supposed to come with. Kind of lame. And while my friend was asked if she wanted hers toasted, I was not. I didn't think twice about it until mine came out toasted, which I neither asked for or wanted. Lastly, the sandwich was also supposed to come with "fresh cranberry spread" and if there was any on my sandwich, it wasn't detectable. But I decided not to even mention it because I didn't want to deconstruct my sandwich a second time. Regardless of these hiccups, I would certainly consider returning.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

The roast turkey subs were huge- with thinly shaved turkey packed in so full- and my kids ate every last bite. I ordered "The Italian" as it was the special, and it was so delicious! It has their homemade Italian dressing, salami, hot capicola, and provolone. I re-ordered it again! My mom also ordered several desserts: house made cannolis, banana bread pudding, oreo cookie mousse, tiramisu, and chocolate mousse cake. Everything was wonderful! I really liked the banana bread pudding. The real gem was the chocolate mousse cake, which was so amazing that we ordered more slices in our next orders.

Both were done on Italian bread with sesame seeds (love). Ingredients were fresh and well filled. The tuna salad had mayo, celery, onions, lettuce and tomatoes. It had cheese which I don't care for but I was so hungry I didn't mind it. Was curious about the speakeasy doorway but too tired to venture in, next time! There were a lot of delivery drivers picking up orders so it took a while for me to place my order. Wish they'd have a separate order area apart from pickup. I wanted to eat there but it was way too chaotic with security, delivery drivers and people coming in and out of speakeasy door. We took the sandwiches to our car ate them while listening to music and enjoying the hell outta em samiches!!!

We had three various appetizers from the cool ranch onion rings to the Seattle fries with a mix of dope beet salad in there.

The RPG was a bit heavy on the mayo, next time would ask for less mayo but it was still delicious as a char su pork fan. This hit the mark.
