Capo Mediterranean Kitchen

Fresh organic locally sourced ingredients create flavorful Mediterranean fare.

Capo Mediterranean Kitchen makes the smaller details of a Mediterranean meal especially appealing. Hummus with za'atar, beet labni, red-pepper feta and smoky babaganoush give you several reasons to start with pita and a few spreads. At this Belmont restaurant, we like how easily that shared beginning can turn into a meal of falafel, chicken or beef-and-lamb pitas, rice plates or salad bowls. There's personality in the accompaniments, too: lemon fries, spinach rice and dolmades filled with herbs, rice, pine nuts and raisins offer different ways to round out an order. Avgolemono provides a comforting chicken-and-lemon soup option, while spanakopita brings spinach and feta wrapped in phyllo. For something sweet, pistachio baklava and Greek-yogurt panna cotta are worth a look. The Ralston Avenue menu is appealing for its flexibility, whether you're after a straightforward pita lunch or a Mediterranean spread to share.
