🚨 You need to know
Old Town Deli at 109 N. Washington Street has completed its conversion and fully reopened as Capo Italian Deli, Patch first reported.
The menu features a mix of hot and cold subs with Italian meats, along with other Italian dishes like pasta and meatballs.
Commenters were curious whether the Old Town Deli’s “stinky salad” sampler would survive the transition, but the dish is not on the new Capo Italian Deli’s Alexandria menu. Nothing gold can stay.
