Capri Restaurant, Raleigh, North Carolina Restaurant Details

Food:

I’m usually too lazy to write reviews but never before have I felt so utterly ripped off walking out of a restaurant that I feel incited to warn other unsuspecting customers. The spaghetti carbonara was soggy and did not have any egg yolks or cream. It looked like they had quickly tossed some lukewarm pasta with store-bought alfredo sauce and plated it. They had a pork dish on special (can’t remember the name of the dish); it was a $17 entrée which came with a cutlet of pork along with steamed broccoli and carrots. The pork cutlet looked like it came out of a microwave, did not have enough breading, and cheese that I could hardly see with my eyes. No pasta/bread - nothing. Never before have my taste buds been assaulted by such phony, low-grade fodder masquerading as homemade italian food. The waiter brought over a bowl of grated parmesan cheese. We were still using it when the waiter came back and abruptly took it away. I’m just kicking myself right now. Capri – you really took us to the cleaners last night. We could have gotten a big mac at McDonald’s and donated the rest to charity. That money could’ve fed a family of four in a third world country for 2 weeks. What a waste! Like I said: I‘m just kicking myself right now.

I love this place! Always delicious!

Food:

Simply awful. I had 7 PM reservations through Open Table for Valentine's Day, arrived on time only to find a mob of others who had done the same thing. There were no available tables. There was no one to seat us. The owner came by, told everyone to keep track among themselves of the order we arrived and tables would eventually become available. I looked at the clipboard he was using to keep track of seating and my name appeared nowhere. As more guests poured in, some of the owner's friends were seated while the people who had made reservations waited. It was apparent the the owner had put no restrictions on reservations, probably with the hope the he could seat more people than he would otherwise be able to do. We left, bought groceries and cooked at home. The entire experience was worse than third world. Do not support this business.

Food:

Capri is a small family restaurant with a very nice atmosphere,friendly staff, and a rustic Italian menu. Its not AmItalian style, or like the Macaroni grill - more simple food, and a neighborhood restaurant that's good.

Food:

Average as fine dining, Good as casual dining.

Technically, this qualifies as "fine dining". No TV, linen napkins, no plastic glassware. But, there's also no full bar and very little creativity coming out of the kitchen.

Still, it's one of my faves for good, well-prepared Italian food.

Love their carpaccio.

Half carafe of house wine is a bargain.
