Restaurant Description
Capone's Cucina History "Since I was a kid, I've always loved to cook" -Dino At age 16, Dino started making pizzas and lasagnas for his family and friends. When neighbors kept coming back for his traditional Italian cuisine, Dino realized he had a special gift. Since that first "restaurant" in his mother's kitchen, Dino has cooked all over the world and settled in Huntington Beach, CA. When he first left home, Dino wanted to open his own restaurant, but saw how other chefs struggled so he decided to go to dental school and leave his dreams of cooking behind. Halfway through school, he decided to open a restaurant to help pay his tuition bills. Once he had his own kitchen, Dino knew that he'd never go back to the dentistry program. Capone's Pizza and Pasta opened in Westminster in 1997. It was at this location that Dino expanded his repertoire and added specials to the standard menu. Customers were hooked on Dino's ability to transform everyday ingredients to culinary works of art and they couldn't help but come back again and again. He sold Capone's Pizza and Pasta in 2000 and moved to Huntington Beach where he opened Capone's Cucina with a goal of creating a more gourmet dining experience. In 2002, Dino hired friend and fellow chef, Francois Lieutaud to create a unique paring of French and Italian cuisine. The combination made for an old world European feel and customers loved the larger selection of dishes. Though Chef Lieutaud has left Capone's Cucina to open his own restaurant, the French menu is still going strong and offers the best rack of lamb in Orange County. Though Dino has always catered, he's now equipped to offer his services to larger area and his catering menu is available online. Capone's Cucina is also proud to announce the planned addition of outdoor seating.
