One of North Beach's last family-style trattorias, Capp's is steadfastly old-fashioned. The men at the bar still roll dice for drinks, celebrity photos line the walls, and diners sit elbow-to-elbow at long, oilcloth-covered tables. The fare is packaged in bountiful five-course dinners (osso buco and roast lamb are good choices for mains). The food isn't award-winning, but a meal here won't break the bank either. A three-course option, good for smaller appetites—and smaller budgets—includes minestrone, salad, and pasta. For $3 more, you can finish with an order of spumoni. Kids under 10 can choose from a pair of menus priced at just $11 each.
