Capones Hideout - Scallops a La Roberto. Mushroom stuffed scallops - Pizza Near Me - New Berlin, Illinois

See all

This was a sad experience. The server was nice but a 45+ minute wait for a steak that was over cooked and lacked favor. Like it was burned quick. Not sure how you mess up mashed potatoes. Cooked too long? Dry with no butter or herb taste. And no butter came out with meal to mask it. By the time our whole table got their food to time we were asked if we needed boxes was 13 minutes. Still tipped because clearly this place is hurting. Short staffed but only a 1/4th seating used and still long wait for poor food. Menu made no sense with lack of objective size measurements and quantities. The irony is they said they don't ruin steak. They did. Waste of $35+ when I could get a $10 steak and butter and recreate the experience. read more

Capones Hideout - Pizza Near Me - New Berlin, Illinois

The food was just ok. The calzone was a little bland. The lasagna roll was limited on filling, and was covered in way too much sauce. The stuffed shrimp was the best of the three. The service was excellent. The curb appeal has much to be desired, but it is surprising when you enter. Nice, comfortable environment. read more

Love the pizza's!! Yum! They get busy during the dinner rush! Might need to wait a few minutes when calling in an order. The wait is worth it! read more

Very good food. Very clean. Very good service. Great menu and food is terrific. I would recommend this place to anyone

If you're looking for out of the way and a steak or pasta you'll crave long after you leave this is your place!! I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Capitol city with some work colleagues so we headed to New Berlin on a recommendation of a local and am I glad we did. It will be a tough place to find because you'll think your map program is sending you the wrong way. It's not!! We walked in and had great draft beer and the bar was pretty busy. Once we sat down we did salads that hit the mark with flavor and crunch then moved into the main meal. Some of us got pasta and others got ribeyes steak by the inch!! Oh my! I don't know if it was because it was so freshly cut or well lightly seasoned but it was one of the all time best ribeye I've had. The owner Jeff was there and it left everyone with a smile. We will Al definitely be returning. read more

We have used this restaurant as our weekly pizza spot for years... they had ups and downs, staffing issues, etc but that's normal. Last week I ordered my usual... cheeseburger pizza and got home and it had bacon and green peppers on it (in addition to burger) So I called to tell them and they argued that since they "showed me the pizza" it was my fault. No replacement pizza...I had frozen chicken strips for dinner that night. Never.going.back. read more

Great food, very tasty, nice portions. Pizza is amazing! Never disappoints. Salads are very tasty, house dressing is the best!

I agree it is a hideout. We passed it a few times then pulled up to a gas station attached and was a bit worried. Finally found the door and was greeted with a not so friendly lady but seated immediately and had a great server. Ordered ravioli and came out fast but still frozen so we got new ones quickly. Waitress was great. Ravioli was just ok. My husband's steak was actually wonderful. My shrimp dish Was ok but mashed potatoes were fake and terrible. All in all it was ok. Get the steak!! read more

Not the fanciest place ever but the food was good. I had Ribeye & Shrimp. House salad was also delicious.

What a wonderful surprise to find this restaurant! My husband had the pizza and I had had pork chop dinner. The pork chops were the best I have ever had along with the green beans and house salad. Tried my husbands pizza (and we love pizza ) it was very good. Service was great, everyone was very friendly. We will definitely will be back. Thanks to the staff and owners for having a great little place to get dinner! read more

Starting this review very angry. Angry that this place has been around for a while but it finally popped-up on our radar. Attached to a Fast Stop gas station in tiny New Berlin you would expect a gray-water hot dog or microwave burrito. NO-----Try Tapas, 21 day aged steak, fresh pasta and incredible pizza!!! Love the place and will be back for adventurous Tapas menu which is available Thu-Sat only. A DDD feel and all enjoyed their meal. Who knew? I do now and I will be back. read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Their pizza is amazing. Very friendly staff and the owners are always present. Capones is hands down our favorite restaurant for pizza, pasta, sandwiches and occasional steak dinner. read more

Solid Italian and pretty much the only place to eat in new Berlin. Italian food is good and we took out of town friends here

We drove 25 minutes to get treated like unwelcome guests for mediocre food. we walk up and a lady is outside smoking and we are like "how do we get in?! Can you tell we haven't been here before?!" she asked if it was a bday for "my last name" party? We said yes. we go inside and our pregnant friend is standing there. She said she'd been there about 4-5 minutes and no one has greeted her. Long story short, the reservation was under someone else and not ours. Still no idea how the lady outside knew our name but no worker inside did. We had to ask for silverware, we had to ask for our drinks after we ordered them, we had to ask for plates. We were there from 8-10 and there was only 4 tables in the place. Food was mediocre at best. The bills came, i asked a question. I had a calzone, on the menu it said that feta cheese cost extra. ALSO THEY PUT BLUE CHEESE IN MY CALZONE. NOT FETA. I was charged $3.00 for feta, although that is not the price on the menu. As well as spinach and Italian sausage. being charged more than double what the menu said. I asked if this was correct did she accidentally charge me extra for it. Her response was "i don't know that's how it rings in, I guess i can ask the owner." She came back with the credit card slips but took all but one itemized receipt. She never once answered my question about the pricing. I asked for an itemized receipt twice and still never got it, so i am thinking they added gratuity and didn't want us to see?! One of the girls, the girl who had been to this place before- her card was charged $10 more than it was suppose to. We saw the owner and asked her over to fix her credit card. My friend said i was over charged, and Lisa, the female owner said "don't start that". I wish there was a camera to look at ALL of our shocked faces we could not believe her attitude. We weren't rowdy, we weren't rude, we didn't ask for anything other than our silverware. My friend said excuse me, what?! Lisa than went to say that WE switched the receipts - which doesn't make sense, why would my friend want to pay more?! The owner said she watched the server run the cards and saw there were two receipts and she didn't know what we were trying to pull. She came over very argumentative and i honestly have no idea why. The server came over and said yeah there were two that paid cash. So server and the owner went to void her credit card, which they didn't give her the void receipt. She had to ask for it, and they ran her card for the correct amount. Then the owner proceeded to tell us no to worry about the fettuccine because she comped it. This is when i had to speak up and said "yes, the server has cash. She didn't bring the girl her change back, so i just want to make sure you know you didn't comp anything. Everything was paid for! On the way out i stopped the owner and asked what that was about. She said i don't know what you guys are trying to pull. (Again i wish i had a camera to look at my face) i said I'm not sure why you would think we were trying to pull anything. She said your friend was snippy. I told her that we couldn't find the server, my friend who has been here before knew you were the owner, so she asked you over to take care of her credit card. The owner said well I'll always stick up for my server. We never once complained about the service. The service was horrible, and the ending just made it worse. Really put a damper on my sisters birthday dinner. NEVER ONCE APOLOGIZED for her attitude towards us or the bad server. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I am still shocked, and wish i could type everything that was said. We drove 25 minutes to get treated like unwelcome guests for mediocre food. read more

Capones Hideout - Pizza Near Me - New Berlin, Illinois

This is for The Garden. This is the restaurant inside Capones. Capones is good but.... Everything about this place was spectacular. Definitely a gem in New Berlin. Reservations are needed. We tried seven items and all were spot-on. The best, in my opinion, was the P.E.I. Scallops with a smoked pancetta crema. If you have not been there, go! Do not hesitate. Also, the beer selection is noteworthy! The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very courteous. Prices are geared towards fine dining, but you get what you pay for and we will gladly do it again. Already have our next reservation. read more

I just realized we have been coming here for the best pizza around for three years and I hadn't left a review! They have good Italian food too but we drive from Springfield for the Pizza Guy's Special. Delicious sauce, right amount of cheese, thin crust, great toppings. It's a little hard to find the first time, park at the gas station and go into the door to the left. read more

I have to say the food is GREAT! But the problem is the WAIT! The service is usually friendly and the kids can play pool and foosball (sp?) so that's cool! I'd bump up to 4 stars if I didn't have to wait so long.... read more

Food was decent, service was terrible. We had to make reservations and it still took 2hrs to get our food. Half of that was waiting on appetizers and drinks. In 2hrs we were able to get 2 rounds of drinks and had to ask, no asking how we were doing or any kind of check up. The $30 bottle of wine we bought was $8 at a local liquor store. We ended up receiving our food and immediately took it to go because we had a 1 1/2yr old that was so tired and they couldn't get his chicken fingers out in 2hrs. The waiter didn't so much as put 2&2 together why we were asking for our checks and boxes before we even got our food. read more

Shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms with a house salad and creamy Italian dressing with blue cheese crumbles on top. Just order it, it's delish. read more

This place is truly a diamond in the rough. Attached to gas station/convenience store and located in such a small town, it'd be easy to pass over but it is well worth the stop! The owners and servers are amazing. The front restaurant atmosphere is nice but their back room/bar and patio is by far the best (can't say if that back room is always open or just for private parties but its worth it to ask). This is.... BY FAR.... The best pizza in central IL. WORTH the drive from springfield/Jacksonville for sure. read more

First off we ate at the bar in the tapas lounge area, not in the main hall. This place has the potential to be really good. I ate with two other guys and they ordered the pork belly, stuffed quail, and scallops. I ordered the duck breast and oxtail pasta dish. The food was pretty good. But the timing was poor and the duck wasn't even warm. They were obviously under staffed, but that doesn't make it right. The bartender took forever on beer orders and was understaffed also. This place could be really good, I will give it another try. It's worth at least that. read more

I finally ordered a meatball calzone tonight, after over a year because of bad service before, and nothing changed. The employees are rude and unsupervised and when tried to politely point out last time that my calzone was undercooked, was told there was really no one I could take my complaint too and same thing this time. The employees also act like your unwelcome and that it's an inconvenience to take your order. Tired of trying to help support our small town restaurant, will not go back. 1 star because it is food, but definitely not worth the price. read more

The Garden is in the same building and that's where we had dinner. It was FANTASTIC! Great food and service. There were 4 of us and we started with wine and appetizers. Wine was good, the Brie plate was delish! Came with apple slices and some kind of yummy bread. We also had the fries mozzarella and lamb shanks, all very good. Next I ordered scallops and they came with sweet potatoes and wow my meal was so so good! Hubby had some kind of homemade pasta dish that he loved, friends had the filet which was cooked perfectly and served over mashed potatoes with an awesome sauce and her hubby ordered the pizza. Will definitely be back! Be sure to make a reservation for the Garden and not Capone's if you want to try this place. You can't just walk in, even on weeknights they are busy. read more

One of the best meals I have ever had. Steaks perfect. Scallops perfect (huge) Great bar. Music on patio was great. Didn't get the musicians name but evidently from New Berlin but works out of Nashville. Make reservations for the garden, you will not be disappointed,,,you will be amazed read more

Excellent food and surprisingly nice interior (don't let the outside attached-to-a-convenience-store scare you off). As noted by others, the only downside is that this isn't a fast food joint. It's a slow food joint. Everything's cooked to order. As long as you know in advance and can plan for that, you'll appreciate it. Sit. Visit. Relax. When your dinner arrives you'll be even hungrier and it will taste even better! read more

Best pizza around - this is the original Bernie & Betty's. Friendly, fast service. This place is a hidden gem.

My first visit (not my last). The food was great (the "Lucky Louie"(?). Servings were ample (thank goodness for doggie bags), will definitely head back to New Berlin to try almost all of the menu. Staff were very friendly and efficient. read more

Small town jewel. Our waitress was wonderful, food was very good for what it is. The choices are extensive, my ribs were delicious, but the sides were obviously warmed over. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Very good family place. read more

The lamb chops with mushroom risotto were amazing! Perfectly prepared. The other 5 at our table enjoyed the center cut tenderloin filet. Again perfect. But the scallop potatoes were outstanding. read more

It was a couple years ago we went here but I still remember the food was great! The rough exterior, attached to a gas station type place was misleading. read more

Like others have posted, just discovered this gem this year in spite of living half hour away for most of a lifetime. Understated ambiance, great menu, very nice staff. Now my wife and I love introducing others to this spot. read more

One of our favorite places to go! Very hard to get in without a reservation on Friday night.

Very mediocre food for the money. Chicken wings had no flavor, garlic cheese bread was not flavored. I had a meatball sandwich and it was nothing to write home about. A $100 meal definitely not worth the cost. read more

We just got back from Capones. I wish we had not gone there. The food quality was less than average. The service was terrible. Overall, we will never go back again. Ever. read more

Great food for small hayseed little nothing town restaurant. Quite frankly I think it's some of the best Italian food in central Illinois

Time for an updated review! We have patronized Capone's several times in the last 2 months. Each time our food was very good as was the service. We've tried a variety of entree's & all were excellent. Wait staff has been friendly & attentive even when it is obvious they're really busy. Sometimes the food is slow to come out but it's always worth waiting for! For those of you who have had previous negative experiences at Capone's, try them again. read more

Such a hidden treasure!! Amazing food with amazing prices!! The atmosphere is great, definitely doesn't feel like you're in central Illinois. The beer garden is beautiful. 5 stars all the way around. I'll be back for sure!!! read more

the steak is great. $30 and 2 hours, why wouldn't it be? On a Sunday night, the thing to order must be pizza because all the other tables, filled after our arrival, got their pizza long before we were served. They tell you up front that the steak takes 30 minutes - sounds reasonable. But a 20% gratuity added to a table of 4 adults and 2 children under the age of 4 - unreasonable. The one waitress ran her legs off. The manager/owner? offered excuses, never an apology. read more
