A Hard-Headed Labor of Love
On the lookout for a casual Italian meal? Capa Tosta is here to serve you! We offer a long list of housemade Italian style favorites and handcrafted cocktails you're sure to love. While our dishes are inspired by the delicious flavors of Italy, they're unmistakably American.
Our name, Capa Tosta, is Italian for hard-headed and it's our stubborn, practical nature (paired with a labor of love) that's allowed us to make a name for ourselves in the D.C. area. Over the years, we've become the go-to gathering spot for family, friends, groups, couples, and neighbors alike.
From the moment you step through our doors, you'll notice a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a hangout feel.
Our dishes (and sauces) are fresh, flavorful and homemade with locally grown ingredients to ensure the best of the best.
We make it a top priority to provide fast, friendly service to our loyal (and new) guests time after time.

“Absolutely delicious! Just like my mom makes (she is Italian😁)! If you don't try it you are missing out!”
“Outstanding food, drinks, and better service. The owner personally came and apologized for some construction outside. Even with the noise (which I'm sure is done now) everything was great. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back.”
“From hospitality to the wine to the food, everything was amazing. We had calamari for an app, pasta penne special with shrimp and squid ink spaghetti with lobster. For dessert we had to have tiramisu, because, hello? Staple of Italy! Deliciouso! Highly recommend Capa Tosta!”
