About Us
At Capo & The Spritz, we draw inspiration from the Italian tradition of celebrating food, family, and friends—a spirit best experienced trattoria-style. Our space embodies the warmth and generosity of a classic Italian feast, reminiscent of gatherings around Nonna’s table. For an authentic taste of Italian hospitality, leave it to us. Relax, enjoy, and let us take care of the rest. Our team captures the nostalgic charm of old-world trattoria service, reimagined with a relaxed, friendly vibe right in the heart of Yaletown.
