Capp's Corner
1600 Powell St
(At Green St)
tel.: 415/989-2589
Location: At Green St
Cuisine: Italian
Price Category: Inexpensive

Capp's is a place of givens: It's a given that high-spirited regulars are hunched over the bar, that Frank Sinatra is singing on the jukebox, and that you'll be served huge portions of straightforward Italian fare at low prices in a raucous atmosphere that prevails until closing. The waitresses are usually brusque and bossy, but always with a wink. Long tables are set up for family-style dining: bread, soup, salad, choice of around 20 classic main dishes (herb-roasted leg of lamb, spaghetti with meatballs, osso buco with polenta, fettuccine with prawns and white-wine sauce), and dessert -- all for $15 to $19 or so per person, around $10 for kids. You might have to wait a while for a table, but if you want fun and authentic old-school dining without pomp or huge prices, you'll find the wait worthwhile.

Complete dinners $15-$19.Open: Daily 11:30am-2:30pm; Sun-Thurs 4:30-10:30pm; Fri-Sat 4:30-11pm.Reservations recommended.Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V.Bus: 15, 30, or 41.
