CapoStrada — Restaurant in Ocean City

Went for dinner on a Wednesday at 6:45pm and there was a steady flow of people. We were sat fairly quickly and ordered in about 5 minutes, figured we’d have a wait and it was fine. Watched others come in and order. A table that came in after us was served not only appetizers but their entrees before us. We only ordered two dinners. The server continually apologized, but didn’t know we overheard the man at that table tell her to “fire” theirs right away as they were in a hurry. When was asked why they had gotten theirs a he blamed the cook and said they only got apps and that’s why, but we clearly saw them get chicken parm and another entree. We sat for very mediocre Penne Ala Vodka and Spaghetti Al Pomodoro for 50 minutes. Pomodoro came with cheese, menu doesn’t list cheese and I can’t eat mozzarella. Watched a kid come in and out without shoes on and go back in the kitchen area and touch things. We questioned the server why that was ok, as it was disgusting in our opinion, and she said “oh he works here” like it was ok. Husband ordered a to go pizza to have later on and the center of the pie was raw. Honestly, save your...

Avoid this place. Unsanitary food handling, Inexperienced staff, precooked food, poor customer service.

Now the fully story here:

Lets start off when we sit down, they didn't have enough menus for the 4 of us to order from and half the tables were empty when we got there.

They were out of one of their appetizers at 6PM with a half empty restaurant.

Tables had sauce stains on the plastic tablecloths and flies all around the restaurant.

The waitress spilled a pasta dish on herself and me. We were still charged for the dropped dish, although they did make a new one. I feel sorry for the waitress because no manager came to help.

The other waitress starts to clean the floor and without washing her hands is handling the rest of our food as well as the other table in the restaurant. We had to ask them to stop handling the plates and food until they cleaned their hands. Their response was we didn’t put out hand directly in the food. suggest the staff be trained or get more help.

The rest of my party said the food was OK, but not great and our local pizza place is better. Also, no salad or bread with dinner.

Puccini...

Let me begin by saying- delicious!

We were a party of six on a Friday night prime dinner time. Sat outside. The service was friendly and helpful. Guided us through a couple of choices including the penne vodka and pizza selection.

Really if you are used to the boardwalk pizza, you’re in for a more sophisticated treat. Crispy rustic crust with the perfect slightly salty tomato sauce like they toasted the plum tomatoes to bring out a sweet under tone and drizzle of olive oil I think. We had the margarita pizza and it was fantastic.

Three orders of the vodka penne with chicken which was pounded thin and seasoned perfectly.

Eggplant parm was well constructed- not soggy. Good flavor and well presented.

One in our group just ordered the calamari app and a salad. More than a meal together. Calamari arrived sautéed with a tomato sauce with garden peas. Wonderful.

Our server was helpful and despite it being busy dinner was to us within 15 min.

All in all this place rocks....
