cappello pizzeria

delicious over baked pizzas! a cute restaurant with very nice decor, you enter and are greeted with a good view of the pizza oven - a good sign that the pizzas are going to be great! ordered the margherita and the cappello pizza. crust was soft and light and not doughy and cooked to perfection. toppings were fresh and you could taste the fine ingredients. overall an outstanding pizza joint (can only comment on the pizzas)!

outstanding food! especially the vegetarian lasagna. only downside that coffee was a little on the weaker side. good people watching from the street view seating too.

cappello knows how to do things in 3's. i'm not usually a fan of pizza but cappello captured my attention! in the least amount of ingredients, cappello can stun you with the most melt-on-your mouth flavours. i'll stay focused and only talk about the 6 pizzas we ordered. highlight 1 - lemon and anchovies pizza = so simple, 3 ingredients, pizza base, anchovies, lemon and olive oil yet i was struck by how good it tasted. it was one of those moments, where i had a few bites, stopped, turned to person next to me and simply smiled. no words required. highlight 2 - rustica pizza = cheese, porcini mushroom and truffle oil. 3 bold flavours leaving a generous lingering taste of truffle oil in your mouth. one of the most earthy pizzas i've had. mind you, i don't even like porcini mushrooms. highlight 3 - fig, rocket, cheese = yum, yum, yum!!!!! everything worked. you have to have this one! highlight 4 - cappello = pear, rocket and gorgonzola cheese = creative but yet again simple. if you want a good pizza experience, definitely come here!!!!

everything about this place is fantastic. the food is delicious. the ambience is warm and inviting. the staff is very friendly. reasonably priced menu, as well! highly recommend!

ร้านเล็กๆ น่ารัก อบอุ่น อาหารรสชาติดีมาก สด สะอาด ราคาอาหารก็สมเหตุสมผล อาหารที่สั่งมากินเกลี้ยงทุกจาน tiramisu อร่อยมาก ห้ามพลาดเลยสำหรับคนชอบของหวาน

we just dined here. walking up the hill from the ferry and spotted capollo. very good stop. in-house pumpkin ravioli was excellent, light and tasty especially with the in-house chilli oil. salad good. raspberry cheesecake superb. we’ll definitely return. oh and the service was excellent - gracious and attentive even in the midst of a full house (despite this stupid covid business shutdown)

got takeaway pizza here. very prompt and polite service. the pizza was delicious!

really delicious pizza (rustica) and salad (tomato and buffalo mozzarella?). house wine was only so, so. staff are friendly and helpful. ambience is lovely but becomes quite noisy when full and when people have been drinking.

over priced & split system not working for over 12 months! my wife and i first attended this restaurant over 12 months ago. the pizza was tasty with a good spread of toppings. but the biggest letdown was no cooling. we walked into the restaurant, a hot day and much warmer inside. a split system not being used, the front door open for fresh warm air. we were sweating, along with other patrons. fast forward 12 months later and same issue! this time i raised the issue with a staff member who advised me there had been an electrical problem. there solution was to open the front and back doors, to let in fresh air. the prices had increased but the pizzas contained only a thin spread of toppings and not as tasty. we walked out still hungry. over priced for an average pizza with little toppings and terribly uncomfortable dining experience. no cooling or at the very least fans, provided for the comfort of patrons.

a little gem in balmain. recommend the risotto and the tiramisu. fine and delicately cook. the kingfish and scallop (special menu) in the risotto were very fresh. the tiramisu - best ever that i ever tried, served in a little jar, creamy and packed with flavours. the ravioli, however, was a little thick. the veal parpadelle was quite nice.

great little spot, with sandstone walls and a wood fire pizza oven that lights up the place and sends a great aroma through the restaurant. pizza was a nice thin base and great flavours, which was perfectly cooked. the seafood pasta was not as good as the pizza, i expected the serving size and quality of seafood to be better. tiny prawns and the pasta sauce was a little dry. great place if your in balmain.

the spot: not tooo hard to find parking, nice decor, nothing obnoxious nor particularly memorable

the service: bit weird; not sure if it's because we were a relatively big group but we had some real cardboard floaters, which only seemed strange because it was so unlike other mid-high range italian restaurants with extremely personable staff. i'm not particularly sensitive to service as i know they're only human, but i was a bit spooked. and for a group of 9, the way the 10+ dishes were staggered was perplexing - only two pizzas at a time with what felt like a real-time moon landing in between.

the food: finally - the pizzas were aaaalmost worth the #weirdvibes. perfect woodfire crust, thin and chewy base, pleasant amount of toppings as compared to the super super authentic ones (off-centre, sneezed-it-on kind that you can only get away with in the motherland where the ingredients are slaughtered, i mean procured, the day of). highlights were the margherita, calzone napoli and contadina. surprisingly felt a bit dirty eating the rustica and truffle is usually my most trusted. gnocci is personal, but the texture of these was one of my favs - smooth and melts in your mouth but had at least one satisfying chew.

i think i was ultimately let down by the dining experience, but if we're talking pizza, it is one of the great ones.

my favourite italian place in the inner west.
capello is located a short walk from the busy hub of balmain, but it is a walk worth every step.
the proscuitto pizza is exceptional.
nice service and nice rustic sandstone setting.

cameee here for pizza last night to celebrate my sisters birthday! we were seated upstairs which was nice and quiet with the same sandstone wall design. the pizza did not dissapoint! perfect woodfire oven crust and tasty toppings. the cappello pizza with prosciutto and blue cheese was the bomb! will definitely revisit!

friendly staff and excellent food. loved it, will strongly recommend this place for trying authentic italian cuisine and very reasonably priced. must try their salad and garlic bread. it was awesome.
