This is a dream come true for this Italian food lover!! Excellent food, service, and nice ambiance. I came here with a group of 24 people FOR LUNCH and we were greeted warmly and each of us were treated like VIP's. Starting with the in-house made bread that was FRESH and crusty but soft inside. The bread was served with olive oil and was a a great way to kick off the meal. The menu has so many choices it's hard to choose what to try. I decided to start with the ZUPPA CAPRESE soup- $8 Roasted garlic, tomato and basil with melted mozzarella crostini. Mmm mmm good! EXCELLENT layering of fresh flavors. Next I got the lunch antipasti - appetizer with steak and fire roasted peppers and eggplant. The complexity of flavors was absolutely incredible. There was enough food to make a nice meal. I didn't need anything else! Alas, the linguine putanesca - Linguine, olives, capers, garlic, tomato basil sauce called my name and I could not say no. I added some grilled chicken for protein. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The sauce was so flavorful! My only complaints are that I probably had one or 2 olives total, once you add up the little pieces. Also, that chicken I added? $6 for 6 tiny little partial chicken strips. Overall, given the great flavor and excellent service, this is my new favorite Italian restaurant! Troy - thank you for making each of us feel welcome. Bravissimo, Caprese Trattoria! I'll be back! read more

Had a birthday celebration here the other night, must have been Prom night as half the restaurant was swamped with teens in glitter and hairspray. Had all the usual suspects, escargot, calamari, veal piccata, veal parm, and chicken parm. I decided to try the special braciole beef rolls which I was thrilled to see on the menu. HUGE MISTAKE. Dry, overcooked lumps of beef with no flavor whatsoever. The visual should have been my first clue. I should have sent it back. I let the table try it and the consensus was that it was not edible. Not wanting to make a fuss, which I regret now, I waited till dessert to mention it to the waiter. He seemed skeptical. Since virtually it was intact I suggested that the kitchen try it. I only ate one of the doughy gnocchi and so the plate was intact with the pasta. He later came back and said they would discount it 50%. Better than nothing, but still not good enough. We eat here often and that was the only really big miss. They need to learn how to cook that dish or eliminate it from the menu. We are returning for another birthday this week, but we are all going to avoid any specials from now on. The gelato was superb! Really smooth and satisfying. read more

Went there for a birthday celebration. First time there, would like to go try other things late looked better than what we had. BISTECCA - 4 stars : really good, enjoyed this a lot but the meat was well we ordered med rare POLPETTE - 3 stars : good but only two meatballs, pretty pricy for 2 meat balls CALAMARI FRITTO - 2 stars : good portion, nice batter but WAY too greasy - the grease kills the flavor. CARCIOFI - 0 starts : tiny, overcooked by 2x, there was pretty much nothing the eat, literally BURRATA - 5 stars : simple and standard as anyone would expect, nicely done RAVIOLI FUNGHI - 3 stars : ravioli itself was nice after I scraped the sauce off... the sauce is far too rich/butter heavy and overpowers the delicate flavors of the mushrooms, especially since there is not a ton of mushroom in the ravs itself. This could be a 5 star dish with the properly very-delicate sauce. CANNELLONI - 5 stars : fantastic flavor! the only thing we had that was 100% properly executed. This basically has the same heavy sauce of the Ravioli Funghi but the filling breaks through the heavy sauce so you can taste it, unlike the Fungi which is too delicate. The place itself is a single large, loud, room since there is really no sound absorbers or anything... big loud 'family style' restaurant... not a place you go to have a quiet, private, or intimate meal. Service was good, even though our server didnt really steer us to things that would wow us... she actually recommended most of the things we didnt like. read more

Went there for happy hour. Ordered the Avocado Bruschetta, the tuna and the calamari. Comes with some bread and olive oil for dipping. The bruschetta and the tuna were really good. The only reason not to give another star was the rubbery calamari. Happy hour is a good deal. The server was attentive and good. The atmosphere is modern. Its an open kitchen so a lot of chatter from the kitchen staff. Would try the margarita pizza next time . read more

I came here for a meal on a work trip, Google has this with 4.4 stars vs Yelp so figured I would give it a shot. Got seated right away on a Monday with happy hour all evening. Ordered the meatballs (polpette) and they came out almost instantly. So I wonder if the happy hour items are semi ready to go. These were fairly good, but definitely not piping hot and not super moist. The highlight of my dinner, however. Then I ordered the gnocchi as I saw they are made fresh daily with the pesto cream sauce which is usually a go to when in doubt. The gnocchi was very overcooked to the point I could have been eating shaped mashed potatoes. The creamy pesto was lacking flavor/salt. My table also didn't have parmesan at hand so I ate about 12 gnocchi before calling it. I wound up dipping the bread in the sauce which added texture and salt, and that was better than the dish as it was. Server was fairly attentive and kind. All in all, an OK experience. Better menu options may exist and I just did not order them. Nice place otherwise with open kitchen and bar area. read more

Was very surprised to find such a great Italian restaurant on our first try while visiting Longmont this past week. Went there with Seaver colleagues and we each had something a bit different - and they all were delicious! Our waitress was very helpful on the menu and drink selections, helping us decide what to order and checking back in several times to make sure everything was enjoyable. Everyone there is super friendly and the environment is laid back and relaxing. read more

Food is amazing. Service is great. Their fungi ravioli and pest gnocchi are fantastic!

I don't get the negative reviews. My husband and I love this place! We are regulars, both for happy hour menu and regular. On happy hour, we've had the margherita pizza with added mushrooms, the seared tuna, the polpette meatballs. For dinner I've had the trout, and some pasta dishes. All great. The staff always seems happy and many have been there for a long time. What's not to like? read more

Ray was literal sunshine as soon as we walked in and was constantly attentive while also giving us space. Full bar perfect for a solo dinner or make sure to sit near the open kitchen to watch some magic happen. The decor and ambiance leaves a bit to be desired, but the food makes up for it. The pesto sauce all over my gnocchi was unique, the fresh herbs shone, I wanted to lap it up with a spoon! It was tough to stay ladylike. The tiramisu was rich yet light and not too sweet, perfect flavor. The pistachio ice cream is the best kept secret! Made fresh weekly by hand by an actual nonna! It's nutty, salty, it's sweet and creamy, it's almost a gorgeous custard. This actually tastes like fresh, salted, roasted pistachios and mascarpone had an ice cream wonder child. It has a consistency and flavor that reminds me of the historic ice cream in souk Hamidiyeh, Damascus, Syria that makes ice cream the same way since Jesus was there. So nostalgic! A must try! read more

Happy hour is the only time I'd return here for discounted apps and cocktails. Jason, my server was superb. Friendly banter, fast response, accurate. Negroni Ferrari cocktail was spot on and and excellent pairing with Fiore Di Zucca (mozzarella stuffed fried squash blossoms). Menu claims "Lightly Fried." No, no they were certainly NOT: Sadly Fiore Di Zucca were Deeply Fried, heavy batter, and greasy. Not good, and unexpected as a "House Specialty?" Lose a star. Dog friendly patio was great ambiance. No music? read more

Ordered my food on line. 2 min before arriving I received a text from the restaurant that my order was voided. Arrived at restaurant, and was told they only served the Valentines meal. That was the reason for the voided action. I drove from Boulder to pickup my order. Which takes about 25 min commute time. Not a happy customer right now, as my order was originally accepted and paid for. read more

My son and I had the bast Saturday afternoon date! We went unintentionally at 3 pm just when happy hour starts. We got delicious apps and we also ordered two entrees. Garlic lemon shrimp scampi and pappardelle bolognese. Logan aka"brine boy" was a top notch and very engaging server. Very knowledgeable!! He made our late lunch wonderful! Give that boy a raise! Thank you to CT! We will be back! read more

I normally have great great please for this restaurant. Valentine's Day was a disappointment in the fact that they overbooked and our reservation was 45 minutes late that I booked on the 20th of January. I waited at the bar to be called and when I went up and checked they said we already called you and I was sitting there the whole time. Quite disappointing. Then the fact that the only thing we could order was the Valentine's Day menu that nobody even said before that. I had a disappointing steak. The first bite was gristle. I think I need to find a new Italian restaurant. Sorry read more

Food was good, very authentic Italian. Atmosphere was good, and the service was excellent

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Waiter was knowledgeable about the menu/wine selections, and was able to offer suggestions. I tried the seafood pasta and unfortunately thought it was bland. However, the wine, atmosphere, and service were excellent! read more

The service was good at all. Raymond was not attentive, rude and even called me a liar. The meatball appetizer came out to the table and they were hard to even cut. Once we cut into them they had black circles which they were not fresh at all. The second dish of meatball were not much better. Our entree came out wrong and Raymond called us a liar three different times. The manager came over and really did not do anything for us. We used to have dinner here twice a month. We will not be back. Tory is the only amazing person that works here. read more

This is a little hidden gem. Went for dinner sat at the bar. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. I got the gnocchi which was great. I will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. They also have Tv at bar so you can enjoy whatever game Is playing. I noticed a Happy Hour Menu but not sure about it as we got there after happy hour. If you looking for some good Italian food check this place out. The picture is cheesy garlic gnocchi it was amazing. read more

Went on a Thursday at 5:30 it was completely packed but we were able to get bar seating. The food was overall pretty good but the crust didn't taste homemade. The margarita pizza was good and I would get that again. The Caesar salad pizza was good but I thought that the chicken was over cooked even though the charred flavor was good. The cannoli was good but a bit sweet. I did like the presentation of it though. The service was quick and friendly. read more

This place is very nice. The food is good. Plenty of parking around the business. The bar is also very nice.

We tried it for the first time on Tuesday. We had our dog with us and sat outside on the patio. Our server, Logan was top notch in every way. He even brought some cold water for our dog. The focaccia and dipping oil were wonderful. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and my husband ordered the trout. Both were wonderful! The eggplant was as light as a feather, the sauce was silky and there was lots of melted cheese. Pure heaven. My husband's trout was beautifully presented with roasted potatoes and broccolini. Portions were generous. When Logan asked if he could get us anything else, I jokingly said "a hot dog for our pup". He came back with a treat from the chef. Love this place. Made a reservation for next weekend with some friends. Can't wait. I'm ordering the same thing. read more

so so yummy! loved everything! i got a spicy red pasta with shrimp and it was top tier + the shrimp they use is biggg

Really good, menu and food was on point. Everything came out in a timely manner in which you could taste that the food was not rushed and they had attention to detail. Some places slap stuff together and get it out of the kitchen. This was nice. read more

It saddens me that I'm writing this review as this restaurant used to be one of my favorites in Longmont. The last 3 times I've been, the service was horrible. Had lunch with a friend and waited on our server for at least 15 minutes. My husband and I went in around lunchtime, sat at the bar and waited ten minutes for someone to greet us while the wait staff was standing 10 feet from us. We walked out and haven't been back. If you want fantastic service and amazing food, go to Martinis Bistro. read more

Fabulous food and excellent service. Highly recommend for couples or families. Great find!

We ordered from DoorDash two lasagna dinners. What we received was a big disappointment. The dish was bright orange in color not the color of tomato sauce like it should be. I don't recommend this restaurant. read more

Food and ambience is amazing. Unfortunately the service here on multiple occasions has been below mediocre.

I was able to make reservations online via OpenTable very easy and we were seated right away when we arrived for Sunday dinner. Our waitress Maria explained the menu well and was very attentive and nice. We ordered the Tortellini and Chicken risotto to share between the 2 of us. The portions are larger so we couldn't finish the dishes and took some home. They were very tasty. Prices were ok for the larger portions. I would go back if I'm in the area. read more

We had a wonderful dinner again. Great service and good food. We have been going here for YEARS, because it is so good. I do however...want to say something about the Veal Parm. I had a very large portion of meat. A small pc on top of two larger pcs. It was so much, that I brought it home! I ate the smaller pc there, it was veal and melt in your mouth delicious. The meat underneath was so NOT veal. It was tougher and stringy, it reminded me of pork and I'm quite sure it was. I hate complaining, but I was excited, as I haven't had veal in years and it was absolutely NOT veal. Sad. For $159.00 for three people to eat, with tip, it's kind of a bummer!! read more

Walked in on our date nite without a reservation on a Thursday and was seated within minutes. Cocktails, spicy nuts and spaghetti (carbonara and shrimp scampi) - all were delicious. Very friendly staff and the food was appropriately portioned and delicious. Reasonably priced as well. Only seats about 30 so don't be like us-make a reservation! Will be back! Magnifico! read more

Food is excellent, servers provide great and friendly service and food is timely. The bread and dipping oil is the best ever.

Great Food, Service and ambiance. always one of my favorite places to go. Pizza is grrrreat, cant say enough good things about this.

Terrific service. Very attentive. Delicious Italian meal with an old country flair. Energetic vibe. You will enjoy this place. Great for gluten free! read more

Got the Fettuchini Putanesca -- Worst ever, thin watery tasteless canned tomato sauce you could see the dish under the sauce, some capers thrown in, some sliced canned black olives, overcooked pasta........Completely tasteless and it was $16.....Just horrid!! I didn't send back since I was with friends and didn't want to make a scene, but it was TASTELESS. I will call the restaurant to complain!! Chef knew NOTHING about how to make this dish, certainly not an Italian rendition, not even a good American version!!! read more

We were very excited to eat here after reading reviews. we're not local, but enjoy good Italian cuisine. The bread with herbed dipping oil was some of the best we've had in any restaurant. The fried stuffed squash blossoms were tasty, although the batter was a little heavy. My husbands veal parm was good, nice and thin, not tough. The deal breaker for me was the butternut squash ravioli described in a sage butter sauce. The pasta was well cooked. The filling had no seasoning and lacked flavor. The "sage butter" looked like pasta water poured over the ravioli. No flavor and most definitely not a butter sauce. I couldn't eat it. I was really looking forward to the ravioli, -but this was just awful. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. She did offer something else but I was fine. It was my choice. We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered she'd taken my entree off the bill. Of course the tip we left was based on the price including my entree. She didn't cook it, not her fault at all. Id say the atmosphere is family oriented. Probably louder when full. The tables are wood, with varnish warn and slightly sticky to the touch. read more

Always great food and great service. Troy was the excellent waiter. Table was available immediately.

Was hard to get a group reservation for Valentine's day for our party of 5. Located in a strip mall like complex - there is plenty of parking (maybe that isn't a big deal for Colorado!) For Valentine's Day they had a set prix fixe menu of appetizer, entree and dessert. I had the polenta, new york steak and a slice of tiramisu for my selections. They offered a pretty decent selection of options for everything - all meat groups as well as GF and vegetarian options. Decent wine list although service was a bit slow - but it was a busy busy night so no one was standing idle. My coworker didn't want an appetizer but she was "forced" to order one that ended up just going to waste .... we were a party of work folks all meeting for the first time and it wasn't really a meal of sharing food or over abundant eating / drinking. I had a glass of the Rosemary rossini cocktail which definitely sounded a lot tastier than it was. read more

Our family has been coming to Caprese consistently over the last few years. It's a solid, dependable good Italian experience. Service is typically good. The kids love their pastas. I enjoy the chicken and veal dishes. My wife swears their Torta Cioccolato is the best dessert in town. I just wish they had a good steak. Please, somebody in Longmont, how about serving up a good ribeye??? read more

Stopped by here for dinner on our way to Boulder. The food and service was amazing but the atmosphere was a bit off. FOOD: Spaghetti Corsara ($21) - Really good portion of shrimp, scallops, and salmon. Most of the pieces of salmon were undercooked however. Sauce was fantastic and went well with the seafood. The complimentary bread was incredibly soft and flaky. My friend had gnocchi which was great as well. I believe the gnocchi is made in-house and it was one of the best I've had. SERVER: Victoria was very attentive and friendly! VIBE: It was extremely packed and can get pretty hectic with all the staff trying to maneuver around the tables. They offer outdoor and indoor dining so we had to deal with a lot of flies indoors since the staff had to keep opening the doors. read more

ETA: my husband and I eat here a couple times a month. We get the same thing nearly every time. The Chicken Parm - you can get not breaded. The chicken is so tender - but the secret is in the SAUCE!!! Their red sauce - makes me want to lick my plate! We ask for a side to dip our bread in. The parm comes with a little fettuccini Alfredo - so delish. read more
