Fantastic. Maybe the best bolognese and dinner ambiance I've ever had. I would give it 10/5 stars if I could. Service was phenomenal. read more

Our friend Paul was in town and he picked this place because it was close to his hotel. Capers + Olive served up fresh pasta with unique flavor profiles. We had the Charred Broccoli to start - it's interesting, tangy , but not my favorite. For the mains, we family styled Shrimp Paccheri, Spicy Fennel Sausage Srozzapreti, and the Lamb Pasta (can't remember the name). For dessert we had the panna cotta and the chocolate finger cake. Both are fantastic... the best part (for me at least) is they are not too sweet. It's a lovely atmosphere, good service, fresh food, but a bit spendy for Everette. Nice date night or special occasion celebration. read more

I was really ready to not like this experience but was wooed by the food! I went wanting the hanger steak (my favorite cut). They were out but did have one that had been done medium so we could try it. We decided to stay and order appetizers from the happy hour menu and then a pasta and the steak. We brought our own wine which they allow with a corking fee. Once the food started coming it just kept getting better. Everything was so fresh and the different ingredientscomplimeted each other even when it sounded a bit different. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Came here before a concert at the Everett Historic Theater, a 2 min walk away. It's very small and seemed like there wasn't enough staff. Took awhile to get seated, and then to have our drink order taken. After that it was great! We shared a Charred Broccoli, which was delicious! Also Focaccia, because everyone raves about it. And it was noteworthy, yummy! Then Bucatini with pancetta, and that was really good. Husband thought too al dente, I was OK with it. Nice Montepulciano, a good pour, after my dirty martini. Husband liked his Reubens Pilsner. I wish we were closer, as I'd like to try other things, especially if we can eat closer to our normal time, not 6pm! read more

A good upscale Italian spot for the north-end if you are looking for a casual dinner that makes everything from scratch. The menu changes every season. The ambiance is definitely dim, casual vibes. The restaurant isn't that big, seats able 10-15 tables and gets really loud in there. It is an open kitchen, so you can watch the chefs cook. Service was good - only had two waiters but they did a good job waiting on all of the tables. For 2 people, we ordered the following (portion size - small to decent size. Would order couple dishes if you are doing family style.): Drinks Cecchi Sangiovese Appetizers burrata - pear mostarda, pistachio, crostini. Perfect, no complaints. Would recommend. Entrees Strozzapreti - spicy fennel sausage, tomato, fried sage, and ricotta. Would highly recommend this dish, it was flavorful. Cavatelli - bolognese, mascarpone, mint. Wasn't my favorite dish out of the 3. The noodles didn't go well with the sauce and it was somewhat bland. Bucatini - pancetta, red onion, chili flakes, cured egg. Would highly recommend this dish, it was flavorful, peppery. Dessert Chocolate Cremeux - new item on the dessert menu. I'd skip it, wasn't a fan. read more

This is my second time at this restaurant and it's always a treat. The restaurant is situated in a brick building with beautiful bay windows that remain open during warmer weather. The space is a more intimate setting so larger parties can make It quite noisy. Tessa was wonderful and very patient as our group reviewed the drinks and entree options. The food is always presented beautifully and tastes so fresh. The open kitchen format allows you to watch as your plate is created! The burrata with berries on top was AMAZING. Capers+Olives makes for a wonderful date night or celebration spot. Enjoy this wonderful restaurant nestled in downtown Everett and you won't be disappointed. read more

I don't often write reviews, but this place was truly phenomenal. It has a charming little-shop feel--small, simple, and spotless--but the food is some of the tastiest I've experienced in a very long time. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the incredible smell of freshly baked bread, and I knew we were in for something special. We started with the bruschetta, and I was completely blown away. I'm still not sure how the onions were prepared--caramelized, fermented, or maybe something in between--but the combination with the cheese was unforgettable. It was so good that we immediately decided we had to try both the bruschetta and the focaccia bread with our meal. Their menu rotates often, but every dish is built around the style of the pasta, matched thoughtfully with the perfect sauce. My husband ordered the strozzapreti with a rich red sauce and sausage, which was absolutely wonderful. I had the bucatini in a carbonara-style sauce, and it was cooked perfectly--creamy, flavorful, and comforting. We rarely order dessert, but we couldn't resist--even though we had a birthday cake waiting at home! We finished with the olive oil cake, which was fluffy, soft, and the perfect end to an exceptional meal. This restaurant may be small, but the quality is unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend. read more

This place is super delicious! It's definitely Italian meets trendy, the menu has tons of veggie apps and it changes seasonally. All the dishes are so good and it's cool to have an open layout so the kitchen is right there in front of the dining area. It's definitely loud but it feels homey also. The staff are super sweet and it's an intimate setting. All the pasta I've had has been great and the apps are fun to try and the focaccia bread is to die for. read more

Capers & Olives is a restaurant that my husband and I have been going to for a two years, maybe? It's always been great. Even when it's, "Oh that's different", it's still great, so that's why tonight, on January 24th, something hit. The food was outstanding. Mushroom Risotto was fantastic. So, shout out to Junior who served (hate that term)...who "advised"? Dunno. Food great, service great. read more

This place was awesome in the past when the owner would cook but the food just doesn't taste the same now . The Pacheri noodles were much softer in the past , I wouldn't go here again . I think the employees are NoT warm and friendly. After dinner I tried to use their restroom and one of their employees was in there for like 10 minutes probably on their phone , another employee told me to knock and she finally came out , just completely oblivious . I won't be going back .... read more

The food is amazing i love the spaghetti with the spicy flakes and the basil i am going to recommend this place to all my frends

Friends and I decided to visit Monday night for dinner. The restaurant had 1/3 full at the time of arriving which is just after happy hour. We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine, burrata, beets for appetizers, paccheri and bucatini pasta then steak dish. Beets and Burrata were pretty good though the cheese was hard that I expected softer as I have had really soft burrata in the past. Toasted French bread were burned.. Bucatini pasta dish was extremely salty I couldn't have a second bite. Not sure why it was that salty. I ended up telling the server about and she said it's supposed to be salty due to pancetta and cured egg in it. We wonder if the chef tried it before serving. Pasta was fresh and had good texture I thought would have been much better with simple sauce. Another miss was the focaccia bread we added to our order because of saltiness of the dishes. It was burned black on the bottom. We told the server and she took it off of the receipt. I remember having lunch and dinner here in the past and I've never had this type of experience. So hopefully this is just one incident. read more

The restaurant is small and unassuming. Cute vibe but a little loud. Service is mediocre - it took a long beat for the server to take our order. Food is very good. Everything tasted fresh and clean. I wish the portion sizes were a tad larger but it's farm to table so definitely quality over quantity. I would come back to try the pasta next time. Pear Salad - simple and light. It was tasty Chioggia beet - I'm not a fan of beets but this was good Burrata - best appetizer tonight. The garlic toast paired so well with the creamy cheese and slight sweetness of the balsamico sauce Duck Breast - delicious! A little crispy on the outside and so warm inside. Sauce was amazing Prime hanger steak - beef is a tad chewy but flavor was good. They only had one dessert choice for the day - Butter nut squash panna cotta. It tasted more like a yogurt. Light dessert. I wouldn't get it again though. read more

We started with the meatball appetizer, they were just ok, a little hard and not that tasty. There were four of us eating, both men gave 2 stars. They cut up the pieces of shrimp in the prawns meal and the noodles were a bit chalky. The tag meal was delicious. The other two meals were just ok at best. Service was fine. Ambiance was lacking as well, open room with not a lot of room or privacy to speak without disturbing the people next to you. They were out of ice tea. I think this may be the first Italian place that doesn't offer bread with your meal. Both men left hungry, the portions are very small. read more

Capers + Olives is a very good Italian Restaurant, with outstanding service and good food. The Focaccia Bread and Rigatoni were exceptional dishes. The meatballs had good flavor, but were chewy in the center. The chefs cook in the open, so you can see your meals being prepared. This is a great choice, if you enjoy Italian Food. read more

First time to this litl establishment, dinner area is cozy yet has the public house feel of literally being in the kitchen. Original brick walls and retro lighting has a nice feel to it! I happened onto HH and found the portions and prices very reasonable! The Bruschetta on Starters is incredibly tasty and well thought out. I also ordered the Spaghetti with Meat ball very tasty! The Meatball was on point with flavors and doneness. Spaghetti was a lilt undercooked for me but very flavorful with accompanying sauce. Only slight I have on this establishment is for the Clean Freaks out there! Skylight is filthy and broken...should do "something" about it?!?!? Everything that's painted white from the dinning area to the bathroom to the T-stat on the wall is varying shades of grey. Dirt, smoke from kitchen, idk but it's unappealing and could use a good cleaning!!! Staff is very friendly.... read more

Lovely Italian bistro in downtown Everett. My dining companion and I shared a selection of appetizers and desserts. The asparagus, meatballs, Biratnagar, and pear salad were all delicious and just a little different than expected. Panna cotta was good, chocolate terrine delicious. Only possible food complaint was I would have loved more of everything! Waitress was delightful. Hostess...was maybe having a bad day. read more

Came here last night for my sister's birthday dinner with a large top, our server Ruby was incredibly helpful and attentive.

Cute little date night spot! read more

We had the best meal we've ever had in Snohomish County tonight. Our gym was hosting a pizza and pool party for kids, so my husband and I had the rare opportunity to have a solo date night. I've been wanting to try this place forever after reading an article about the chef who used to work another local restaurant that we like, and interned at the five diamond restaurant The Herb Farm. I was getting a little nervous because it appeared that they had lost our reservation. Alas, it was only 5 o'clock, and they got us seated anyway without letting us in on their little secret. They set a table for two, and our server was Christine. She reassured us that everything we ordered was great, she was very prompt, and very sweet. Please keep in mind that this is a small place, with just a handful of chefs preparing everything. You absolutely must get yourself a reservation for a weekend, as we saw multiple parties, small and large, being turned away due to not having one in just over an hour of being there. It opens at 4 PM, and when we got there at 5, several people were already dining. By 6 o'clock, there wasn't an empty seat left. We decided to go big and shared multiple appetizers, including the kale salad with walnut pesto and pear, the bruschetta with goat cheese, nduja (finely ground sausage) and pickled shallot, Brussel sprouts with black garlic and Parmesan, and the focaccia. For entrées, I ordered the Pancherri with gulf prawns, and Swiss chard, and my husband had the Bucatini with pancetta and cured egg. For dessert, we had housemade puff pastries, filled with salted caramel ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Everything was terrific. Five stars all the way around. If I was forced to pick my favorite things, I would say do not sleep on the Brussel sprouts, and the Pancherri was amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the focaccia, as you'll need it to sop up the extra sauce from your pasta dishes. Your pasta will come out piping hot and delicious. As a matter fact, when ours was ready, the chef saw that our server was busy with other customers, so she personally delivered our dish to us so that we could get it quickly and while it was still hot. Another thing I'd like to mention is that it is very clean there. I noticed that one of the servers was setting a table and she dropped the silverware that was wrapped in a napkin onto the floor. She picked it up, and I watch to see if she would put those utensils into service anyhow. However, she did not. Instead, she brought it back to the kitchen to be washed. That is the level of integrity and service that I love, I.e. doing the right thing when you don't know someone is watching. I can only assume they are that way in the kitchen, too. Bravo, Capers + Olives. I'm a BIG fan. read more

This is THE place to go in downtown Everett. The food is AMAZING and you can tell they put work into each dish. The staff is attentive and friendly, even offered us a small sample of wine that would pair well with our entree (she was right, it was great). The chef came out and shook our hand and asked how the meal was and shared a small blurb about how they made something. You walk into this restaurant and you feel like you're among friends but then get served this Michelin worthy food! Best. Experience. Ever. P.s. order the Focaccia! read more

Friends highly recommended this restaurant. However, the website menu is way larger than the tiny menu paper we were given. I wanted the duck which was on the website but not available. Very few items on menu. I felt they were somewhat overpriced as well. We both expected to get hot bread for a starter, nope! Very loud in there too, it's in one room. You have to order starters and pay for each one. Maybe I am spoiled by other restaurants, the steak I ordered was tasty but on the smaller side. For $49, felt it should have been larger, and without fat and gristle in it as well. The waitress was very nice, and she was efficient, but overall, have decided I will not be coming back. read more

Fresh pasta is my love language! This wonderful cozy place serves up some great pasta dish! I love the Tagliatelle.

Very fun and cool place to end our Labor Day weekend! Highly recommend! read more

Tonight we dined at our friend Chef Jimmy's Caper and Olives. We have known Jimmy for many years, from his time at Terracotta Red, a Chinese Fusion restaurant.. His background includes "The Herb Farm" a Five Diamond Restaurant in Woodinville. The restaurant has an open exhibition kitchen where you can observe the chef in action. He makes his own pastas and his food is comparable to the finest dining places in Seattle. It had been a while since we visited Jimmy. He saw us walking in the door and came from behind the kitchen to hug me and welcome us. The restaurant is quaint and eclectic and oozes warmth and is very welcoming. We started with Focaccia bread, served with herb butter and sea salt. Next, we had a Pear Salad with truffle salt, thyme and pine nuts and a Baby Kale Salad with apple slices, chopped hazelnuts, parmesan and burnt vinaigrette dressing. Our first entree choice was the Paccheri Pasta with gulf prawns, fennel, sofritto, tomatoes and chili. For the second entree, we chose Halal Mary's Chicken served with polenta, radicchio, and au jus. For dessert, Chef Jimmy surprised us with a complimentary buttermilk Panna Cotta with rhubarb and shortbread crumble. As always, everything was delicious and the taste was out of this world. I would encourage you to visit this excellent restaurant. Support our local restaurants. read more

Flavor...flavor....and more delicious flavor!!! This quaint Italian restaurant is a must try! And according to our waitress EVERYTHING is made in house. WHAAAAAT??!!! We started off with the bruschetta with caramelized onions with an amazing cheese spread that elevated the flavor. But was even better was their focaccia. HOLY CRAP!! That was GOOD...we ordered 2 orders. The focaccia was soft, with a hint of saltiness, and is accompanied by a yummy butter spread. We coated our focaccia with it. Hubby had the Bucatini. He loved the crispy prosciutto in a nice creamy sauce. "It was beautiful" he said. I had their prawn pasta with a creamy mint sauce that had a slight tanginess what was delicious. If I was to compare the two pasta dishes, my favorite was the Bucatini by a slight margin. The service was attentive and amazing. The place is small, so I recommend calling for reservations. But definitely worth trying for Italian food with LOTS of flavor. read more

Our server (bartender) was soooo slow. She brought 2 out of the 3 drinks. We asked after the third drink which she said she hadn't made yet because it was "so packed." There was only 3 tables total (us being one of them) with only 2 people each. The other one had been there for a while already and the third table came 20 minutes after us. Drinks were ok. Not great, not terrible. Just basic. The cook served our food- she was much friendlier and the food came out faster than the drinks. The food was decent and fairly priced. Not large servings, but since it's pasta it's just filling enough. Cute ambiance. read more

I like Capers + Olives for happy hour. Cons: I wish happy hour wasn't so early, hard to enjoy it while still at work. I wish they had more for alcoholic drinks. I do not like that they reserve tables and then won't seat people all night. On numerous occasions, I have been with a table of four, without reservations. We get asked if we made them, no, we are given a guilt trip and then seated. While we are there the "reserved" tables sit open for hours. It has never been packed when I have been to eat, however, I have watched them turn people away. Not a business practice I understand, but, not my business. Pros: We typically get the Focaccia, meatballs, Buratta, and the bruschetta. The menu changes seasonally? This last visit we got the Bucatini and Rigatoni. They were very good. The food is always great. The service is good. They just seem more excited to chat in the open kitchen with each other rather than help customers. The restaurant is very small. The kitchen is open and they cook near the tables. It can get smoky but they have a rustic storefront leaving the windows and door open as part of the ambience. We continue to return, maybe 1 time a year. It is not our go to but a back up. The food is what keeps us coming back. read more
