so sad the good is not the same as it was 5 years ago when I lived nearby. The pasta sheets on the lasanga used to be so thin, The e italiano antipasta is just ingredients carelessly chopped and thrown in a bowl the mozzerella tasteless. I wonder if it changed owners. read more

Excellent pie, love there buffalo chicken and garlic peppers and mushrooms pizza. Also the pesto pie is amazing, it has a unique taste it starts out with heat but ends with a subtle taste of sweetness. read more

Food is good, but the service is very impersonal. The personnel seemed busy and after taking my ordered, they forgot about checking in with me. Not great ambiance. Non Italian. read more

Consistently friendly service and excellent food! Pizza is great! You'll like it. Give it a try!

Friendly staff. A bit dingy dingy/dusty room but clean kitchen. Food was good, but expensive for the ambiance. Clean restrooms. I'll go back. read more

Grabbed lunch from here today and enjoyed it! First, there's plenty of parking nearby (Cafe Capuano is located in a strip mall), so you won't have any problems there. I ended up getting the Grilled Campagnolo (which came with fries), which was basically a grilled chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers, provolone, baby lettuce, and pesto mayo. It was pretty darn tasty! The sandwich was just a tad greasy, but all of the ingredients worked together and everything tasted fresh. The fries were a little undercooked for my taste (I like 'em crispier!) but they were fine. The food was prepared reasonably quickly as well, which is always appreciated. I would definitely consider coming back here! read more

Excellent food. Fabulous pizza. Fast service. Quiet dinner side with BYOB. Our go to place for catering too

I don't like leaving negative reviews. I can tell these guys work hard trying to make it happen... but I have to say a pizza joint in a desolate strip mall serving heavy handed dinner concoctions for 30 plus bucks needs mentioning--served up by inexperienced high school kids destined to drop the soup in your lap. read more

Best Italian style food in West Windsor; everything is great! Try the salads, very fresh, always perfect. Excellent pizza, and Italian subs/wraps. read more

Out of all my time living in the area, I don't think I've ever had anything from Capuano's before, not even their pizza. Except maybe when I was younger and didn't pay attention to such things. My boyfriend wanted to get Italian for takeout and I figured we'd try out Capuano's. The place was doing pretty well for curbside pickup (this post is coming at you live from the age of COVID) so I figured that was a good sign! We called ahead and lined up for our order and some employees walked out our stuff in a big takeout box which was helpful for carrying hot foods! I ordered the penne vodka and my boyfriend got the chicken parm. We each were packed a piece of bread and small side salads. My penne vodka was flavorful and very saucy and I really liked it! Obviously got a pretty big portion since most Italian restaurants do that, and I had meals for days! The chicken parm was portioned nicely and satisfied my boyfriend's needs. I've also since tried their penne vodka pizza that my brother ordered, and that was pure carb heaven for me! The prices are slightly higher than other similar Italian restaurants in the area, but it's good to know that I have another good Italian spot to turn to when I get a craving. Definitely recommend. read more

Once of our old reliable favorite places! The food is consistently fantastic. We have catered for big family parties for 30+ years from here and have always been very pleased. Service both in restaurant and for catering is excellent. Delivery is also great. read more

Worst Italian food we have had in a very long time. Not kid friendly when the owner allows tables to be screaming and cursing and when we address it he says it's ok because they are celebrating something. The owner asked how the food was and I said honestly, not good and he still proceeded to run my credit card with not a care. I should have known to turn around and leave based on how dead it was on a Friday night. Calamari were the frozen rings and greasy. Chicken parm was tough. The linguini with garlic and oil lacked any taste and the pasta was beyond old. Canned mushrooms in my husbands chicken dish, literally nothing was good. The only decent part of the meal was the bread given in the beginning. Skip this "restaurant" and go somewhere else. read more

Friendly service, quiet atmosphere, food was OUTSTANDING. Garlic bread was best I ever had. Only negative was it was Valentines Day and there were no specials. We will definitely be back. read more

Great place to just swing by and grab something to eat. Nice size menu with reasonable pricing, Clean space and friendly staff members. The Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak Wrap ($7.99) was a smidge bit greasy but only tiny oozes, nothing major as it was still enjoyable. Wish the fries were a bit crispier though but for the price, I can't complain all too much. read more

This restaurant is a hidden jewel at the cusp of East Windsor. The food is extremely tasty and fresh. Complimentary garlic bread was warm, buttery, and garlicky! Loved it! The stuffed mushrooms were my favorite! The Bronzino fillet was so tender! And my chicken capuano was good, but the chicken itself had NO flavor. The key is the sauce! read more

Cannot say enough about this place! The food is amazing! They will make u a custom order of whatever sandwich, salad or pasta u want. Their Italian food is super fresh. The broccoli rabe and sausage dish is out of this world! Best made broccoli rabe our family ever had! Pizza is fresh and can be made crispy and thin crust. We have had at least 4-5 family parties at this venue in their private rooms for engagement and bridal showers. The private room can hold up to 50 people and we had over 100 guests between the two private rooms. Manny is what makes this place so great! read more

Very disappointing . Food -2 * . Though the menu looks tempting , the food served lacks the quality . Everything that we ordered was way below average other than the bread. The minestrone soup was awful, the Maximo chicken felt like a first attempt at a dish by an amateur chef and the lemon shrimp - over cooked and tasteless. The service -3 *..it was difficult to get hold of the guys to serve us ! The place itself is hard to find .. A very poorly lit board and the name of the restaurant written on the board is so small that you can easily miss this. I do not believe this place deserves a second chance ...try at your own risk ! read more

Went to this place for dinner with some friends from work. The place was ok. When i first walked in, I thought it's just a typical pizza place but then I found out they have a separate section for a dine in section. I had lamb chop with broccoli rabe. It was okay, but not great. I just didn't find something special that would make me come back to the place. They're just okay. read more

I just left Cafe Capuano and am just aggravated enough to voice my displeasure. We have been here a few times and while there is always something minor wrong, it is never worthy of leaving a lousy review. Tonight we went in for a last minute Mother's Day meal as we were travelling home from the shore and wanted a quick bite. Normally, the service is flowing, if not a little slow but tonight it was atrocious. We kept having to ask busboys to find our waitress. I understand cutting down a lengthy menu to accommodate busy holidays, it make sense. What does not make sense is throwing 10 bucks onto meals you serve every day and printing out a fancy menu to rob your customers. My son ordered the gnocchi. It is always just as dense and the sauce is always a little bland, but tonight it was a whopping 24 dollars instead of 12. I don't expect much for 12 dollar gnocchi. If it's a little dense, at least I didn't have to make it. At 24, you better up your game. They cut the menu to the most expensive meals on their every day menu and added 8 to 12 dollars per plate to the prices. My veal marsala was not bad, but it was not 24 dollars good. The linguine was overcooked, but it is never al dente. I know this and expect it when I walk in the door. Charge me an extra ten bucks and you better learn how to cook pasta. Linguine for kids was 10 bucks tonight. It is normally 7. I gave her my soup and shared my plate instead of bothering. If our water was refilled or if she brought butter or oil with the bread, or if we could find her to bring over cheese, I probably would have stayed quiet. It's a good enough hole in the wall for a bowl of pasta when you are not in the mood, but we paid 64 dollars for a meal that normally costs 30. The greedy little piggies can keep their dense gnocchi and overcooked linguine. Shameful. read more

First time ordering pizza from here. HORRIBLE! ordered a pizza with sausage, Pepper and onion. Hardly any sausage and RED ONION! Who uses that on pizza. NEVER AGAIN! $20 this! When I called to tell them they said sufficient amount of sausage. BS. DON'T read more

This place is a great place in West/East Windsor for pizza, but the popular 'garlic cheese bread' ruined my experience here. The bread was not toasted and lacked fresh buttery garlic flavor. I felt like they just used store bought garlic spread and slapped melted cheese on top. I am so disappointed. read more

My husband and I recently moved to the neighborhood and weren't really sure of the restaurants/food service areas around us. We both have high expectations as we previously lived right off of route 27 in north Brunswick, where almost any type of cuisine was within 10 miles of one another. My husband's birthday was two weeks ago. He passed by this place on the way home and figured why not try it out. He wanted some food catered for a family party we had at our house so he chose this place. He decided on ordering the Philly cheesesteak wrap, penne vodka with chicken, a pizza pie of half Hawaiian and half pain, and garden salad. We ordered for pick it and the food was ready right on time, as ordered. They even offered to load my car up for me, as I went to pick it up a half hour before our party started. The food was great and our families loved it. I grew up traditionally Italian and this place seems pretty legit from the food we have tried there in the past including the pasta that was catered. Therefore, my expectations are fairly high. We will definitely order from them in the future. read more

I was in town visiting my mother from San Francisco. Not really expecting many gluten free options since it is South Jersey and I come from the land of various diet sensitive options I decided to look up what options I had. Surprisingly enough this location close to my mothers apartment proved to serve delicious gluten free pizza! I explained it as Jersey pizza on a gluten-free crust! I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back when I am in town. Their pizza options looked delicious as well and reminded me of a pizzeria near my childhood home of Central Jersey. read more

I'm visiting Joisey from California, so when my friend found out I'd never had New Jersey pizza, he suggested we try some for lunch. We ended up at Capuano and the first thing that caught my eye was the ziti pizza...except I initially thought it was a french-fry covered pizza. That woulda been cool too.. But yeah, never seen or had pasta-covered pizza before, so I ordered a slice; my friend had the buffalo chicken pizza. First bite: Good lord, this thing is DELICIOUS. The crust had a nice crispiness to it without being too crunchy or tough. And the pasta...I'm a total carb-fiend, so I was really enjoying the hell out of the carb-overload. The sauce on that pasta mixing with the cheese oh my god so good. I didn't think I would finish the whole slice (it was bigger than my head), but it was gone in a matter of minutes. Too bad I can't afford to eat here all the time, but you can bet your ass I'm gonna be attempting to make my own ziti pizza once I get home to sunny (and snow-free) California.. read more

This place just doesnt get enough respect. Okay okay, it's not "fine dining" but i dont think I've ever been disappointed with anything I've gotten off of their menu. They have great pizza and the town's BEST CHEESESTEAKS! I'm serious, super yummy steaks. I'm from Philly so that's one heck of a complement. The most underrated thing on their menu are their PANINIS. They are fan-freakin-tastic! Give me some extra pesto sauce on that sandwich and im in heaven. read more

Recently visited this place. Menu options were good especially the pizza menu. I had margarita pizza and quality of ingredients used were very fresh. Pizza tasted good as well. Looking from the front, never expected the size of the restaurant but they have good seating and also small room to host private party. Overall good experience for me and would recommend to anyone!! read more

Pizza is generally pretty solid. Sandwich rolls (crucial part of any sandwich) are not very good at all so I rarely order any hot or cold sandwiches from them. I generally go for the pizza and appetizers. My one complaint has to be the call ahead order. I'll call to order then go to pick it up and if the place is busy I wind up standing in a single line behind people that are ordering in person and asking questions. I've stood in line for over 15 minutes waiting to pick up hot food that generally gets cold sitting on top of the ovens. HUGE suggestion for management would be to have a pick up lane for those that do call ahead!! read more

Manny & Milton have a great Italian restaurant and I'm lucky to have them in the neighborhood. Go now, go often and and bring a friend!

I don't want anyone else to know how FABULOUS this restaurant is! It's that perfect local place in a strip shopping center that has food to rival anyplace in NYC for Italian cuisine. BYOB. Service is always great. Many times on the weekends there is a great guitarist playing there. We are always seated timely and trust me, we are pretty particular diners with no issues at our fav hideaway dinner spot! read more

Very good food. Food: The Veal Parm was tender, not a chewy piece. I also enjoyed the cheese and sauce. And the veggies were flavorful and cooked just right. Value: OK. Atmosphere: Dining room in a pizza parlor. But not as casual as you would think. Service: Friendly and effective. Drinks: BYOB. Even though I live 1/2 hour away, I will probably come back. read more

We had high hopes for this restaurant after reading other reviews but we're disappointed to find incredibly slow service and severely undercooked pasta. Every element of the meal took an excessively long time to get to our table, including water refills and bread. When our entrees finally did arrive, half of us had severely undercooked pasta. I make pasta all the time and prefer it al dente but this definitely crossed the line into crunchy and inedible. It's a shame, the sauce seemed tasty. We then had to wait 30 minutes to get a better cooked dish. The management did nothing to make this situation right and we left deeply unsatisfied. I'd pass and choose another option in the future read more

We had our rehearsal dinner here last month, about 35 people, and Cafe Capuano went above and beyond my expectations. The food was delicious and plentiful and they did a wonderful job of accommodating us. The staff is spectacular and the prices ridiculously reasonable.
