I'm so excited for the full menu!!! It's so cute and classy inside. I love the coastal, modern Italian decor. West Chandler/South Tempe needs more places like this!! I'm so excited about this opening. My husband and I split the polpette(meatballs), fritto misto and gnocchi. Gnocchi wasn't homemade so it wasn't my favorite but still delicious. Meatballs and calamari were a 9 for me. The sauces that were served with the fritto misto really were insane!! I also couldn't get enough of the polpette, especially served with the delicious grilled bread when you dip it in the sauce. Can't wait to come back for all the "coming soon" yumminess. My favorite thing was my cocktail called I Still Love You. What a fun and unique taste! I loved it. I was so happy our waitress recommended it. Definitely will be back soon! read more

Bar Capri - Fritto misto, polpette (meatballs), and gnocchi. - Italian Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I wanted to gate keep this absolute gem because Bar Capri may just be my favorite new restaurant of 2025. My boyfriend saw a reel on instagram about their deal on a pasta and bottle of wine for $35. They also currently have a special going on in the month of July for $45 for a drink, app, and entree. If that sounds appealing to you, make sure you ask for that menu when you are seated as we found out, the menu is by request only. The restaurant is intimate with only a couple tables able to host a party of more than 4, so make sure you make a reservation. Our waitress notified us that the bone marrow takes about 20 minutes to come out but with a bottle of wine, we were more than happy to wait. We also snacked on the bread and 3 types of butter and before we knew it, we were feasting on some DELICIOUS bone marrow. I could have eaten it all by myself. After the two appetizers, we ordered the chicken pesto fusili pasta and the steak. The pasta was perfectly saucy while the steak was cooked perfectly and paired with a tasty chimichurri. Including tip, it came out to just around $100. AN AMAZING DEAL. The servers were also very attentive but also did not make us feel rushed and even let the large party next to us chat for a while after finishing their meal. We will be back soon, thank you! read more

Came on a Sunday evening with some girlfriends since one was moving out of state. I ordered the carbonara flatbread- it was just okay. One person ordered the beet salad- a little underwhelming. One person ordered the steak skewers and Brutus salad- I didn't taste them, but she said it was decent. The last person ordered the shrimp skewers and Brutus salad- she said .."meh" Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing we ordered made memories- good or bad. I can't speak on the drinks- I'm not drinking this month. But my friends liked theirs. The bar area is small and cute. I'd come back just to sit there with a friend and chit chat over drinks- BUT ONLY ONE FRIEND since it's so tiny. The atmosphere was very cute! They definitely were winning in that category. The music was fantastic- I definitely was Shazam-ing over and over! I agree with the other patron that said the over stuffed pillows didn't pair well with the bench seating- very uncomfortable. The decor was very cute! Kind of small inside, but you do have the option to sit outside on the patio. There are no misters, so come with your own fan! read more

Employees really friendly, and genuinely warm. Music playlist 10/10 Aperol Spritz was made proper, not overly sweet. Prosciutto Di Parma is made over mango - intriguing but the mango was underripe. No way the prep chef missed this, it has too hard for my given butter knife to cut. They are barely open so I have great expectations. Will be back to try an entree. read more

Stumbled in having been to Freely often. I was surprised to see the interior of the restaurant as beautiful and with a clear point of view- think Amalfi cost, season 2 of White Lotus, but with good music. Service was great! Madi was our server and she was friendly, and offered some great recommendations. I am very happy that this has opened in our neighborhood. read more

Bar Capri - Dining table - Italian Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Went to this lovely restaurant/bar and I was pleasantly surprised at just how pretty the place was! I wanted to sit there and look at everything. Then all the workers we encountered were so very pleasant. My husband ordered the Nutcase and it was so yummy. The appetizer we ordered was the fried goat cheese balls, so delicious. For main dishes I ordered the Flatiron steak it was cooked perfectly cooked and so decadent with the Gorgonzola cream sauce . My husband ordered the Short ribs with creamy polenta and it was equally delicious. I give all of it 10 out of 10! We will be back over and over. read more

OMG! This is a hidden gem with the absolute BEST service. Nadine is my new super hero who recommended the most delicious food and drink! The tiramisu was to die for and the limoncello was exactly what was missing from my life. The shrimp skewers are unexpectedly magical. If you are looking for an excellent idining experience with the most responsive and attentive service, go now! And if you go on Tuesday nights, they have a pasta and bottle deal for $35. read more

We had a disappointing experience here tonight, especially for an upscale restaurant that requires reservations. We were seated outside and things started off fine, but partway through our meal our server disappeared with no communication or handoff. We sat for quite a while with no check-ins, no refills, and no idea what was going on. The bartender? eventually took over, but service still didn't improve- we weren't asked about refills and had to wait a long time just to get the bill. When I asked what happened, I was told our server had left and that they "pool tips anyway," which doesn't really excuse the lapse in service. On top of that, my husband ordered a medium steak and it came out well done. We left around 8:30 on a Friday, well before closing, so it's hard to understand how service fell apart this much. Overall, not the level of service or quality we expected. read more

Best Aperol spritz in town, however, upon arrival , place was absolutely empty we got a little bit of attitude for not having a reservation, but whatever, consider, considering the lack of good food options in the area. it's pretty perfect. read more

Im so disappointed to write this review because Im a freely fan. The food was so bland it tasted like it came from a can. I got the gnocchi, and it had no flavor whatsoever. My son got the steak skewers they were incredibly dry and had no seasoning. My daughter got their kids pasta with marinara but it seemed to be just plain tomato sauce out of a can with no seasoning. Incredibly overpriced for what we received. The service was also slow and not very welcoming or friendly. The one positive thing was the drinks and the vibes are good. We will stick to Freely. read more

Chicken pesto was amazing! Bartender is awesome. Happy hour is on point. Great vibe. Love this place!

overpriced and Bougie! not much bigger than a broom closet..was going to order the lasagna..nothing came with it ! no bread, no salad..so I paid and drank my coke at the bar and left! Rigatony's for the win! read more

my new favorite spot!!! it's seriously soooo cute inside and reminds me of our honeymoon in Italy! we were actually headed over to Freely, the restaurant on the corner - which to my surprise is the same owners! but Bar Capri was actually open by time we go to DT Chandler so that was exciting! Cocktails were amazing, service was phenomenal! Food was incredible (we got the chicken fusilli but I swapped their sauce for the mushroom sauce and it was sooo incredible! Overall such a fun spot and a really cool vibe! Be sure to add to your Arizona date night bucket list! read more

Great space for cocktails and shared apps. The lasagna was great & the Lost in Tokyo cocktail was my favorite! Will be back again.

Have been anticipating Bar Capri's opening for a while now! Regular visitor to Freely next door. I was excited about the food and cocktails they had to offer. They still have a ton of food options that are coming soon, but what they did have to offer was great! Can't wait to come back and check out the other options as the menu becomes more available. Had the Burrata appetizer and we tried the Lasagna and the Meatballs, all of which were delicious! Tried 4 of their cocktails and they were great! Decor in here really ties it all together, everything goes really well. The service was excellent, food and drinks came out pretty quickly and our server was on top of everything! read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. Highly recommend. Ask for Mickey because she's the bomb. Food, service, drinks, all amazing. You will not be disappointed!

Good cocktails and food. Owned by the same owners as Freely nextdoor. Its more formal and Italian inspired than Freely. Nicely decorated inside. Some outdoor seating too. read more

Nice ambience. Friendly staff. Osso bucco was overcooked and lacked sauce. Chicken also lacked sauce. Quite disappointed.

Bar Capri is something truly special. Everything about it was excellent. My wife and I sat in a very romantic booth. We ordered the Prosciutto Melon to start. The sweetness from the melon and the salty prosciutto are an inspired combination. We also ordered two very good cocktails. My wife had the Freely Espresso Martini and I had the Paper Plane. For our main courses we my wife ordered Nonna's Lasagna and I ordered the Chicken Pesto Fusili. My Chicken Pesto Fusili was excellent but my wife's lasagna was out of this world. Everything at Bar Capri was just lovely. From the service to the sound track, everything is inviting and makes you feel they are going above and beyond for you. We can not wait tongo back to Bar Capri and explore more of the menu. read more

Very good food and reasonably priced. I love how it's so close to my house! I cant wait to go back and try the pasta.

The whole staff is so sweet! Very quaint and cute. Love the osso buco and shrimp skewers! Nice selection in wines

What an amazing treat! I've been driving by Bar Capri wanting to try it for a while, and tonight my fiancé took me here for my birthday! We originally made a reservation, but snagged the last two seats at the bar and figured that was a great place to watch everything so we decided to stay seated there. The bartender was so friendly and genuine, and you could tell he was passionate about creating a great experience for his guests. We started with a round of espresso martinis which were delicious, and started with the arancini starter. DELICIOUS! After that, we had a round of old fashioneds and split the gnocchi bolognese. *Chef's kiss!* Since it was my birthday, we were also treated to a complimentary tiramisu which was also fantastic. The decor and atmosphere are also perfect. One thing to keep in mind is that it's a smaller place--so I would definitely recommend making a reservation and earlier in the day (but same day, at least on a Thursday). We will absolutely be back again and can't wait to bring friends and family here!! read more

Food was good. The mushroom raviolis were delicious. The main reason I went there was because of the atmosphere. I love the green and the lighting. My only concern was the music was so loud that we couldn't carry on a conversation. Service was good up until the end. It took a long time to get our bill even after we told the server we were ready to go. read more

We are thrilled to have a cute place around the corner to get a great meal. Sweet blond server (forgot her name) does a great job managing the tables. Excellent fritto misto, shrimp and steak skewers, and beet salad. Warning about seating. It is a tiny space. Make a res. Over stuffed back pillows don't work on bench. Would be better to get custom cushion for the bench. The cute 2 person booths are narrow but comfortable. Flowers and rustic decor is adorable. Can't wait to try everything on the menu. read more

This is the best restaurant to pop up in South Tempe in a long time! The chef creates a custom menus and the food is excelent. The location is Small but tastefully designed with intetesting decore. This is my absolutely favorite place to go with my wife in Tempe. I recommend this place to all my friends. Make sure to get a Reservation because at times they are very busy. read more

Really disappointed from the start. Water served was warm and tasted unfiltered, straight from the tap. Beer was cool, not cold, served in a warm glass. Calamari was mostly just breading, not much calamari, and flavorless. Entrees came out within a minute of the appetizers. Whole experience was disappointing. read more

Great service! Cocktails and food were very good . The restaurant is very smal, so make reservations on the weekends for sure. 1 negative is it was very loud! read more

Bar Capri - Our family dinner - Italian Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

A group of our friends wanted to meet for dinner and we were able to make a reservation at Bar Capri. We tried the bread and flavored butter appetizer, gnocchi bolognese, chicken parm special and brisket. The people who ate the brisket said they loved it. The friends who had the chicken complimented it as well. Those of us who ate the gnocchi also enjoyed it. Two people ate the tiramisu and chocolate torte and said they were very good. We had great service as well. It was a great experience! read more

Great atmosphere. The regular pizza was delicious. Do not order the gluten free pizza, it was just ok for gluten free. The service was excellent. Everyone was helpful and happy. read more

I've been to Bar Capri a few times and have lived the service and food. Tonight we were asked to leave at the two hour mark when we still had dessert and a bottle if wine to finish. If we'd been told at the beginning of the evening the table was for two hours that'd been different. This was a special occasion which they acknowledged with a free dessert, but we spent iver $200 bucks with a generous tip. Not cool when you are a European style restaurant. We were told they could move us to the patio, but it's SUMMER in Arizona...not exactly comfy. I'm not sure we will return and that's a bummer because the food, ambiance, and service is great. I'd been there a couple months earlier for a celebratory dinner and no one asked us to leave at the two hour mark. read more

Went with friends and it was just okay. Food within the group was hit and miss. The smoke gun from the bar would cause a burning smell to go through the restaurant. It was my first time going there. It was hard to hear people over the music. Wouldn't return. read more

The food is off the charts delicious. Best kept secret around. Gnocchi is amazing. Short rib to die for. Bone marrow. I could go on and on. Feels like you're in Italy . read more

Love this new place, food is fantastic, cocktails are great and servers are extremely nice..

We made reservations for our anniversary. The food was pretty good but my husband got the short ribs and the portion size was really small. Dessert not offered, and nothing special was done to celebrate our anniversary. I will give this place another try. read more
