Capp's Corner @ San Francisco

I really forgot how amazing Capp's Corner is in Northbeach. It's nothing fancy really, it doesn't boast itself (at least from the exterior) that it has authentic or great Italian food. Honestly, from the outside it looks like any other bar. It's not situated in the heart of Northbeach so people passing by don't just stroll in. People who eat here are either those of have been coming here for years, or because probably Beach Babylon Blanket has a deal with them. Either way, for less than $15 a plate, where you will have left overs beats Olive Garden any day! Oh yea, if you're real nice to the waiter he won't charge you things like soda, coffee, salad, soup and ice cream...what a deal! (dinner is not as great here, it's a must for lunch especially since they serve cream pesto)

Minestrone Soup
soup was ok...but i've never been a fan of minestrone soup. oh yea and this isn't the best of what's at this restaurant, and it was free...haha so yea. but yes it is on the menu and they do charge for it, just not us

Salad
[iceberg lettuce, beets, kidney beans, garbazo beans, topped w. thousand island type dressing]
salad really good. very light and refreshing.

Pesto Linguinin w. Mussels and Shrimp
ok while i may not have caputred the best picture, you have to believe me when i say that this was truly great, and a piece of art. you can't tell by the picture, because of the lighting, but the green on the pesto sauce is vibrant and popping. the pesto is full of flavor, and creamy. pasta cooked perfectly, and the mussles and shrimp were super freesh. they only offer this for lunch people! if you order it, it must be for lunch, not dinner! something about a different chef at night. so strange.

Steamed Clams w. Garlic Cheesy Bread
oh wow. clams were so fresh and so plump. they were cooked in a nice wine reduction broth with garlic. i could have just drank the broth by itself, but me being the light weight that i am, i probably would have gotten a little tipsy. i love love love the garlic bread too, but who doesn't? so this entire dish for less than $10, great huh?
