Reviews
I was impressed with the ambiance created by the host staff and the music playing in the background. A warm and welcoming environment for an exquisite culinary experience.
The hostess was super sweet and the waiter was nice. We got our table super fast, despite being told there was a wait. The only reason I deducted stars is because our service once seated was slow and we weren’t really checked in on during the meal. They’re a new restaurant, though, so I’m not holding it against them. Hopefully service improves with time.
Definitely will be back.
The atmosphere was a little dull, but you don’t need a pretty restaurant to enjoy the food.
We began with the cheesy bread, which came highly recommended in other reviews. Unfortunately, it fell a bit short. While it was crispy garlic bread topped with cheese, it didn’t stand out enough to justify the $8 price tag especially when the complimentary warm dinner rolls were far better. We also weren’t offered the garlic oil dipping sauce that others had raved about in their personal reviews, which was a little disappointing.
Each entrée comes with a soup or side salad. The side salad was fairly underwhelming. It was a small bowl of standard bagged salad greens with limited dressing options (Caesar, Italian, ranch, or Thousand Island). It felt more like an afterthought than a true accompaniment.
Service was attentive, though our waiter was extremely soft-spoken, making it a bit difficult to hear him at times.
Where Capri’s truly shines is in the main courses. I ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, and it was outstanding. The heat level was perfectly balanced, flavorful without being overwhelming, and the shrimp were large, plump, juicy, and cooked just right. The portion size was generous, with plenty left over. The only thing that would’ve made it better is having the shrimp tails removed, as they made the dish slightly harder to enjoy.
My dining partner chose the Chicken Parmigiana, which was equally impressive. The chicken was tender, coated in well-seasoned breadcrumbs, and served with a hearty portion of spaghetti and marinara.
When our waiter brought boxes and the check, dessert options weren’t mentioned. While we didn’t need dessert, I absolutely would’ve been tempted by an Italian cream cake slice to take home—especially with leftovers waiting.
Overall, I’d rate Capri’s a solid 8 out of 10. It’s a cozy, quaint space with limited seating, but we had no wait for a 5:00 PM weeknight dinner. For a restaurant that just opened earlier this month, the food is already on the right track. It’s refreshing to have an authentic Italian spot in the city, and we’ll definitely be back to bring family and friends.
We had about a 30-minute wait, which honestly wasn’t bad at all considering it was Valentine’s Day, a Saturday, and one of the newer restaurants in Elizabethtown. That’s pretty reasonable timing.
We split the tortellini bolognese, and the pasta was delicious—rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you’re in the mood for Italian comfort food. The house-made bread was also a highlight and definitely worth mentioning.
The salad wasn’t my personal favorite, but it did the job. The only small critique was that our pasta came out so quickly that we hadn’t received our salads yet. That said, if I have to choose between food coming out fast or waiting forever, I’ll take fast every time.
The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and on top of everything, especially on a busy holiday night.
Overall, a strong experience, and we’ll definitely be back.
