Chef Alex Capasso was born in Chambersberg, Trenton, New Jersey. He is first generation Italian on his father's side and second generation Italian on his mother's side. His love of food comes from his upbringing of traditional, classic Italian foods, and watching his grandmother prepare the meals his family would enjoy.

Chef Capasso's first restaurant experience was at fifteen years of age washing dishes at a small café in South Jersey. It was there that he decided to master the craft of being a chef. Alex went on to learn cuisines such as Italian, French, Lebanese, Moroccan, Egyptian and Israeli working under extremely notable chefs in the industry, culling their indispensable knowledge to later infuse with his own, what he calls Contemporary American cuisine.     

Now at long last, Chef Alex Capasso has opened his own restaurant right in his hometown of Collingswood, New Jersey. Blackbird Dining Establishment is an upscale-casual, 70-seat BYOB and features Alex's signature Contemporary American cuisine with hints of Asian influence thrown in for good measure. The decor is modern and the flavor and the service is impeccable, all at a price that is easily attainable in today's cost-conscious society. We look forward to having you join us!
