    Food was amazing but the ambience was top tier! Our server got a little overwhelmed with tables but the rest of the staff did a great job to check in. We ordered the whipped feta/ bread and the olives for an appetizers, and although not a fan of green olives- these weren’t bad! We ordered the tortellini and the bolognese for our main entrees and they did not disappoint. Definitely finish with the Crème Brûlée but I’m excited to try their other desserts as well. Everything was amazing.

    Everything about Capri is 10/10! The food was incredible and so was the service! I had the shrimp risotto and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly! My friends had the salmon (so moist and again seasoned perfectly!) My other friend had the gnocchi and it was like little pillow puffs that melted in your mouth!!!! My other friend had the linguine with shrimp (I think it was a special that night) and it was perfect! The pistachio dessert is so unique and a must try and the tiramisu was simply delicious! We can’t wait to go back!!!

    So good ! From start to finish - excellent. Understated and underrated. Service ambiance and good quality all 5 stars. We order one main dish each and a handful of mezze items and sides like beets and basmati rice and fries. The fries were good but not great and out of everything we ordered, happened to be my least favorite. King salmon was my main course and was so delicious and flavorful - there was no stopping me from finishing it. I only recently came here for happy hour and once many years ago for dinner and I have to say, it was great to be back and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.
