I need to show one item from menu only for users that are logged in and have certain custom capability set.

Is it doable from theme functions.php or does it need a custom plugin?

Note: I already use a plugin to show/hide menu items based on user roles, but couldn't find anything for Custom Capabilities (user meta value).

Thanks for your time and help!

This plugin provides filter to manage the menu item by meta value: 

function custom_menu_item_visibility( $visible, $item ){ 
    if( isset( $item->roles ) ){ 
        $user_id = get_current_user_id(); 
        $user_meta = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'your-meta-key', true ); 
        if ( /* your condition */ ){ 
            $visible = true; 
        } else { 
            $visible = false; 
        } 
    } 
    return $visible; 
} 
add_filter( 'nav_menu_roles_item_visibility', 'custom_menu_item_visibility', 10, 2 );
