cappello pizzeria

delicious over baked pizzas! a cute restaurant with very nice decor, you enter and are greeted with a good view of thepizzaoven - 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 outstandingpizzajoint (can only comment on the pizzas)!

cappello knows how to do things in 3's. i'm not usually a fan ofpizzabut 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 anchoviespizza= so simple, 3 ingredients,pizzabase, 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 - rusticapizza= 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 goodpizzaexperience, definitely come here!!!!

got takeawaypizzahere. very prompt and polite service. thepizzawas delicious!

really deliciouspizza(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. thepizzawas 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 averagepizzawith little toppings and terribly uncomfortable dining experience. no cooling or at the very least fans, provided for the comfort of patrons.

great little spot, with sandstone walls and a wood firepizzaoven that lights up the place and sends a great aroma through the restaurant.pizzawas 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.

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 proscuittopizzais exceptional.
nice service and nice rustic sandstone setting.

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

good, not great. the pasta was ok not the best, the seafood pasta was a little fishy, don't think the seafood was fresh. thepizzais great however, the garlic bread is defiantly a must try.

i love capello. it's definitely my favorite pizza. beautiful thin base & great crust. siciliana is mypizzaof choice or the veal pappardelle pasta. it only lost 0.5 a point as the resturant can be a little loud.

for the environment - this is a small cozy restaurant. clean and nicely set up. for that i'll give it a 4.
service was quick. but to put that in perspective, we went there around 6pm when it opened so early for dinner. but still attentive and quick.
food was delicious. we had the gnocchi, pappardelle, rocket and pear salad, garlic bread for starters and meat loverspizzafor my son. we enjoyed the meal. 3 people for dinner, expect to pay around $100. not bad! table booking is highly recommended unless you go early.

ok this place was surprising. i never expected such great food so close to home ....but more than that the food was made with care and flair. we came here on a rainy night precisely because it was close to home, but found ourselves in italian foodie heaven. greatpizzaand pasta and desserts to die for

love love love! rainy week night, perfecto presentation, varied menu, chilli garlic prawns, to perfect ravioli,pizzadivine. gem tuxjed away in east balmain. and check out the traditional sandstone walls. thanks for a great dinner team cappello!

pizza for dinner!! slightly hard to find parking but the pizzas here are amazing! -- the food -- the waiters here wear a hat just like the sign!   rustica- mozzarella, porcini mushroom, speck & truffle oil all my favourite toppings in one pizza, what more can i ask for! the balance of all toppings was perfect / spot on. the smell of truffle oil rushed into my nose when thepizzaarrived. fresh porcini mushrooms were so fragrant and tasty.  the base of thepizzais thin yet fluffy.  the speck added a hint of saltiness and flavour to the pizza. i just wished they wood- fired the speck so it would be warmer with a slight crisp. other than that, i absolutely loved this pizza!       fettuccine marinara - homemade fettuccine with fish, mussels, prawns, calamari & cherry tomatoes  the fettuccine is soft but with a lot of texture (not the regular smooth dry fettuccine you would get from a grocery store). i enjoyed the fettuccine as i continued to eat more. i felt like i was eating a home made

bestpizzain balmain. tasty pizzas and efficient friendly service.
