Da Capo - NYC

Da Capo blends a laid-back Italian cafe with a great bar setup. Espresso during the day, and cocktails at night — both are done really well. The bourbon espresso martini is a standout, offering something rich but different. Food is fresh and simple, with the kale salad and pasta both standing out. The space feels light and welcoming, with seating that works for both solo stops and small groups. It’s easy to settle in for one drink and end up staying for more. Service is friendly and smooth, with special shoutouts to bartenders who know their stuff. It’s a flexible spot that works whether you want a daytime catch-up or a chill night out.
