I love the food at this place. And they're gangster martini is wonderful. Best to go during the week if possible it is very crowded and hectic on a Saturday night.
After passing by this place for years, we finally have decided to go and we keep coming back every month. I highly recommend making a reservation as the place gets very full and the parking lot is always packed. The baked lasagna is always good and it looks like a brick in size. My go to is the veal Parm. It is very tasty. Pounded very thin and cooked. Perfect perfection. My daughter had the Rotolo and she really liked it. This is a family run place and I highly recommend if you like Italian food to come here.
*great service * linguini and red clam sauce-delicious * bread- crusty and warm * rigatoni and vodka sauce, nice * side salads good * wine, good pours * fair pricing * tough parking
Great food excellent service. Would highly recommend a true gem in the Southwest Suburbs.
Restaurant seems like a Supper club for the baby boomers ! Very chatty . Waited at the bar while waiting for a table. They have only dinner hours and were very busy. Ordered an appetizer and Eggplant Parmesan ( the food was excellent ) minus the cold bean soup and only vinegar and oil For salad dressing :-( ) Service was slow I think she forgot to put the order in completely. But the food made up for the wait and crowd .. Overal, nice Place with good food. I would repeat !
The food here was fabulous and the staff was very accommodating. We were sampling a variety of menu options for an upcoming banquet and everything we sampled was freshly made.
Want excellent food, generous portions , great drinks and a welcoming staff? Stop in for dinner at Capri . This is my favorite Capri of all of the Capris ... possibly because the owners , Donna and Maurizio Mancuso are so hands on and personable . They make you feel like this is your neighborhood joint and it is ! Try the Rigatoni Campigniola , one of their signature dishes ... giant rigatoni, peas , homemade sausage in a pink sauce , delicious ! All of their dishes are amazing , you won't leave disappointed . Stop at the bar first and see Pam and Pedro for friendly drinks before dinner . Reservations recommended . We love love this place
Best restaurant in the south suburbs, hands-down! Makes a great date night! Portions are very large and the food is yummy! Dishes include soup or salad. Great prices, especially post Covid! Service is always super friendly and the bus boys are delightful! Feels old school- they only take reservations on the phone. They also offer free valet parking!
