I give the food a 4/5 overall but the review gets 5 stars because this was genuinely some of the best service I have ever had (and I am so mad at myself for not remembering our server's name). It's a beautiful interior with a ton of tables and a small patio outside. Drinks: very creative, versatile cocktail menu. We got the Cello and it was absolutely delicious. Honey buns: must get 5:5, good sized large bun that breaks into individual pieces with a sweet ricotta dip. Arancini: 4.5, so good but only comes with 3 which is annoying for the price, the pistachio pesto is to die for Meatballs: 2/5, bland and crumbled as you tried to eat them but the red sauce is good ***For entrees I was struggling between pasta choices and they let you get half orders of them so you can try more!!!*** Rigatoni alla vodka: 3.8/5, definitely some of the better vodka sauce I've had and it has a tiny kick at the end, but overall a boring dish unless you add meat (and they do have a variety of meat options) Radiatore al pesto: 5/5, such a delicious thick pesto over al dente pasta, would absolutely get this again Rigatoni alla bolognese: 4/5, the meat sauce is so delicious but I took a point off because I wish it had more meat Cavatelli con salsiccia: 10/5, THIS STOLE THE SHOW ORDER THIS, it was so flavorful I kept stealing it off my boyfriend's plate Chocolate hazelnut mousse: 5/5, passionfruit ice cream is a little bleb that comes on the side (not in the cake), the cake was to die for. It was such a moist flavorful mousse- I just wish it was bigger. I think this place is well worth the hype for its decor, service, and specific dishes. We will definitely be back! read more

Super super difficult to get a table, glad I tried it but I'm not sure I'd come back. The food options are what you'd expect for food that tastes pretty good and photographs well. But, i think it's telling that this is a steakhouse and no one orders steak but instead goes for the pasta. Food was good but nothing special across the board at standard mid range prices ($24-$36 for a main). The space was beautiful but it's always so crowded. Service is inattentive at best, passable if you're there to hang out a while I suppose. Not sure I'll be back. read more

We have been trying to get a reservation for about a year, finally got one for today at lunch. I will say it was worth the wait. Started off with a couple drinks and scallop crudo and tuna scottato. Both were so good that we could have eaten them as a main course. My wife at the fusilli with shrimp and I had the spaghetti with lobster. Both fishes were cooked perfectly and very flavorful, We sat in a cute area downstairs in comfortable seats with a great view of outside. I look forward to coming back and sitting outside in the new sitting area with a cocktail. read more

Capri's an upscale Italian restaurant in Boston. The space is gorgeous with an elegant downstairs, vibrant upstairs, and they even have outdoor seating that I can't wait to enjoy once summer arrives. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They answered all our questions and offered great recommendations. The cocktails are creative and tasty, and the food is even better. Their pasta dishes are phenomenal, especially anything that includes the Italian sausage. We also tried the espresso martini with limoncello, which was different, but delicious. We also got steak, which was surprisingly excellent for an Italian restaurant and definitely worth ordering. Overall this was a fun experience and we will definitely come back! read more

Everything we ate and drank here was delicious! We started off with the honey buns with ricotta and it was so good. I definitely recommend starting with this for any meal here! We also decided to get the Zucca salad which was the most surprising and most delightful part of the meal for me. The roasted fruits and veggies alongside the fresh kale and vinaigrette was heavenly! For the main course we split the 12oz filet with a side of brown butter pasta and a side of rigatoni with vodka sauce. They offer half portions of pasta which was perfect for trying different options and flavors! We had an early reservation which was really nice because it was crowded at all and we could see the whole venue. The dining area is beautiful. I also recommend going downstairs for another gorgeous view. read more

They were completely booked for Valentine's day reservations and were not taking a wait list. Only option was the bar which was also completely full. We waited for a seat and I had a glass of moscato in the meantime. Bartender didn't give us the valentines menu at first so I had to ask, yet everyone around us had it. We started with honeybuns served with whipped ricotta and a half portion cesar salad. Honeybuns were delicious and sweet and the ricotta was just the opposite so it paired nicely. The cesar salad had a different taste but I liked it, good portion to split. My entree, the chicken parmesan, was actually underwhelming. Online the pictures looked really good but I wasn't impressed. The pasta it came with also lacked flavor. My boyfriend ordered a special off the featured menu, I liked it more than he did. It was an interesting dish but the beets threw him off. The highlight for me was the interior for sure, classic style with drapes and lamps--straight out of a movie. But the food was lackluster unfortunately and I was disappointed after seeing tons of cool reels online. read more

Worth the hype, to an extent. The service is amazing! The hosts are super nice and our waiter was super friendly and on top of it. The only thing is that since they're extremely busy, the bar gets backed up. The cocktails I had were all delicious but my favorite was the Sophia. You must get the hot honey rolls and crunchy caesar salad! The table also got tuna scottato and arancini, which I feel like we could've skipped. There was soooo much food and the arancini wasn't that great. We ordered the bolognese and tortellini. I thought they were delicious but they were more al dente than others at the table would've liked. For protein, we got the 27oz ribeye and veal milanese. The veal was amazing, while the ribeye was tough and not that flavorful. Although this was my first time here, I'd skip the steaks at Capri and order it at a proper steakhouse. There are so many other delicious dishes to try. We also found it best to do family style. read more

Capri has to be my favorite Italian spot in the city. The restaurant is large and the decor is stunning. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and checked on us frequently throughout the night. He recommended a lot of the dishes we got which included: honey buns (so good we ended up ordering another), crunchy Caesar, meatballs, arancini, rigatoni alla vodka, tortellini, filet mignon and brown butter mashed potatoes. Everything we had was so fresh and delicious. Out of all of it, our least favorite was the meatballs (I am picky with meatballs in general) and the brown butter mashed potatoes but other than those, would order the other items again. Also the free parking in the lot next door with validation is game-changing. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Amazing. Amazing. Absolutely new favorite restaurant in Boston. Anyone who has written a bad review either only went here the first month, doesn't know what they are talking about, or is holding a grudge. Honey buns were 10/10. Prosciutto and burrata was 8/10. Citrus salad was 9/10. Chicken piccata was 9.5/10. Bolognese was 9/10. Drinks were pretty fun though my least favorite part. Service was great, a little inconsistent with timing but I do give them a pass since they're newer. Gave us free champagne for my partners birthday AND brought out a dessert with a candle. Beautiful location too and honestly not expensive for everything we got. read more

Their Honey Buns, Meatballs, Rack of Lamps and Mash Potatoes are what we think the best of what we had at Capri and we will definitely come back for these menu items. After our 1st Honey Buns, we decided to order another. It is one of the best buns we have ever had in any restaurants! We love the ambience and music here. The service is excellent, too. read more

Loved the decor, design and ambiance! The service we had was excellent and we loved all the food. The honey buns with homemade ricotta is a MUST and we shared arancini, prosciutto & burrata and tuna scottato as apps. The fusilli and clams, chicken parm and acqua pazza (sea bass with lobster in tomato broth) were all delicious. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert but will definitely be back.

This place showed up on my TikTok and I had to make a reservation three weeks in advance. The interior is beautiful, and it feels like each section of the restaurant has its own theme and different vibe. Our server was very attentive, and the service overall was great. It's a wonderful place to go for the ambience or to enjoy drinks at the bar. The Zio Ugo, was very refreshing and well-balanced. I was most excited for the honey buns, but they were underwhelming. They were lightly glazed, not very sweet, and after the first bite of glaze the rest just tasted like a normal bun. The Funghi al Forno was deliciously seasoned, but the portion was very small and left me wanting more. For pastas, we ordered the Spaghetti all'Aragosta and the Garganelli alla Pollo. Both were flavorful and had a generous amount of protein. It's also good to note that you can order half sizes of the pastas to try more dishes. The filet mignon was just okay, nothing special. Overall, I would come back for the pasta and drinks. The atmosphere was beautiful, but I wouldn't say it was worth the long reservation wait. read more

Booked a month out and worth the wait! They have such a beautiful interior and patio, some of the best vibes in Boston. Came for brunch--they have a few brunch specials, but the full dinner menu is available too. Of course, we had to start with the honey buns, which lived up to the hype! So fluffy with a touch of sweetness. The waitress suggested we branch out from the typical dishes (*cough* rigatoni alla vodka *cough*), and we happily obliged. The garganelli alla pollo and chicken piccata were both divine. The garganelli had a rich, smokey flavor, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. The chicken piccata was crispy and lemony in all the best ways. It came with rigatoni, which was a welcome surprise. The prices were very reasonable imo for this level of food and ambiance. Most dishes less than $30 and decent portions. Def want to return for a special occasion--if I can get a res! read more

Honestly, did not meet my expectations. The interior is beautiful and the bar is beautiful, however the food is very average and I wouldn't recommend. The honey buns were great, however the rest of the food the ceaser salad and the chicken parm was very bland and tasted like a frozen meal heated up. The server however, was kind and on top of it. 3/5 stars. read more

honey buns 5/5 snap pea insalata 3/5 tuna tartare 3.5/5 cavatelli con salsiccia 3.25/5 Managed to snag a reservation at this place short notice and glad I did. It's a nice place for vibes, not so much top tier food. If you go in a bigger group they seat you upstairs in the booths and may have live piano performances during your dining there. I was seated downstairs, but the interior of the place was beautiful. Service was standard. They don't seat you until each person in your party has arrived. I found the snap pea salad to have far too much vinegar and the pasta to be a bit overcooked. As for the food, the only thing I would really recommend is the honey buns with sea salt and ricotta. read more

obsessed. Ambiance Food Service They OFFER HALF PORTIONS OF THE PASTA!!! We split 7 half orders between 4 people, plus a salad and two apps. our server was hilarious and really helpful as we were being indecisive haha. The drinks were fire too - I loved the rum cantalope one! basically a fancy mojito. My top three pasta: RIGATONI ALLA VODKA, TORTELLINI DI MAIS, FUSILLI ALLA LIMONE. The others were good too but these were the standouts. handmade fresh pasta makes all the difference. The Snap Pea salad and Honey Buns were also insanely good. Go here, if you can get a reservation. I recommend showing up in person the day you want to go and just ask, if you don't see anything online. I will be back!! read more

I was so excited to try Capri as I'm a big fan of the groups other restaurants. Capri has such a beautiful interior- the space feels warm and stylish, and it really sets the tone for a nice night out. It reminds me a lot of Prima in Charlestown. The food, though, was a miss for me. The chicken piccata was unfortunately very salty, and the sauce leaned more oily than I'd like. The honey buns with ricotta were SO good and had great texture, but again, the salt overpowered what could've been a perfect balance. The Caesar salad was fresh and enjoyable, but I wished it had more anchovy or seasoning to really bring out that bold Caesar flavor. The service was alittle weird to be honest. We wanted to order 2 appetizers before the last person in our party arrived and the server kind of gave us a hard time about not ordering the whole meal at the same time. Multiple times we were in the middle of eating something and a busser or server asked if they could clear. Like our salad was only half done and the server was trying to take away our appetizer plates, utensils, and the remaining half of the salad. Again, when we were eating the entrees multiple people asked if they could take our plates that still were full of food and we had our forks in our hands. Everyone was nice but it felt like they wanted to rush us out. Overall, the atmosphere is gorgeous and the menu has great potential--just a lighter hand with the salt could make the experience match the setting. I can see how the service is trying to be attentive and higher end but maybe taking alittle bit of time to let tables eat and talk would be better. read more

We finally got a reservation at Capri by snagging a cancellation and it was SO delicious! It was also the perfect time to go because it was beautifully decorated for Christmas and absolutely charming! Our server Matthew was great and he didn't skip a beat with my extensive allergies and being vegetarian. Not only did he put me at ease, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciate that there were mocktails and non alcoholic beer on the menu. We tried the "far from the tree" with apple cider, sage, and citrus which was very good- well balanced and not too sweet, and Matthew said the bar tender was like a "Liquid chef" and could make us something else if we'd like. We had to get the honeybuns to start since everyone posts about them, which were very soft, but we didn't like the ricotta paired with them (and saved that for later in our meal). I loved the citrus olive pistachio salad, but thought the fusilli Al limone was a bit disappointing since I was comparing it to the dish I've had in Sorrento, and there wasn't much lemon flavor (although cooked perfectly al dente). My husband enjoyed the Bistecca (steak tartar) and Garganelli al pollo. For dessert, my husband got the profiteroles and thought they were fine, but the spiced pear blackberry crostata with almond frangipane, pistachio almond streusel and salted honey gelato was one of the MOST incredible things I've ever eaten! Even though reservations were nearly impossible to get, we can't wait to go back to try the pea salad, focaccia, and other pastas. read more

If Yelp gave percentage points, I'd rate a 4.5. Pretty disorganized and crowded check in and 30 minute additional wait time after our reservation time (that we snagged a month in advance via OpenTable). That being said, the food and service (specifically just Paolo) really made up for the new restaurant hiccups. Honey butter rolls were up to hype and wine selection (a glass of Chianti) was great. We were celebrating a birthday and got complimentary appetizer and espresso martini. Truffle fries were just okay (lacking oil, just shavings). Linguini alla Vongole was cooked a little too soft and heavy on lemon but tasty, and garganelli was similar to marry me flavor - rich and filling. Prices were decent and interior was pretty. read more

I was visiting a friend in Boston and we luckily snagged a reservation for this place a month prior. The restaurant was gorgeous and the food was even better. We got the crispy caesar and honey buns to share and I got the chicken parm and my friend got the spicy ala vodka. The portions were massive and the decor was warm and inviting. I loved all the Christmas decorations and their live piano player playing Christmas songs. For a restaurant that has a lot of hype, I did not feel like the waitstaff was rushing us at all, which was refreshing. read more

Capri - Honey buns and Caesar salad - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Finally got to try the food at Capri, and I loved it. The ceasar salad was solid, as was the tuna crudo. I didn't think the honey buns were anything crazy but I enjoyed how soft they were. The best part was the amuse bouche which was an aranchini topped with tuna sashimi. The pastas were also great! We got the vodka pasta which I loved, and the chicken picatta was great with the chicken cooked really well. I know Capri was really popular for its patio, but the inside is equally as beautiful. LOVED IT! read more

I had a great dinner here! I loved the ambiance and as a matchbox collector I was so excited that they do matches! I tried a variety of different plates but the honey buns were the most notable. I think this is a great spot for sipping and snacking- I haven't yet found an entree I love. The service was excellent though. My friend showed up directly from the airport and they immediately offered her a place to put her suitcase so she didn't have to worry about that! I would certainly go back in the future. read more

Beautiful ambiance, very aesthetic. Food is good, but the cocktails are very bland. Service was fine.

Absolutely worth the hype -- and the Resy wait. Best Italian in Boston! Dinner at Capri last night was incredible from start to finish. The cocktails were beautifully crafted -- I started with the Capri Ski, and also tried the Moonstruck (very sweet but delicious if that's your style). The espresso martini was perfection. For appetizers, the honey buns (of course) lived up to the expectations, especially paired with the whipped ricotta. The meatballs are a must-order -- truly outstanding. The Caesar was decent but a bit light on dressing, and the arancini was good, though I'm not sure I'd get it again. For mains, the rigatoni alla vodka is non-negotiable. It's hands down the best vodka sauce I've had in Boston. The chicken parm cutlet was also perfection -- crispy, flavorful, everything you want. We finished with the chocolate hazelnut mousse, which was surprisingly light and the perfect end to a big dinner. Capri absolutely delivers. read more

The food was good and I enjoyed the overall quality of the dishes. However, I made a reservation in advance and clearly mentioned that it was for my birthday. Even the hostess at the front desk was aware of it when we arrived, but unfortunately nothing special was done to acknowledge the occasion... not even a small complimentary dessert or simple gesture. I understand that it's not an obligation, but many restaurants make a small effort to recognize special occasions, especially when it's noted in the reservation. The food itself was good, but the experience felt a bit disappointing considering the purpose of the visit. read more

My order: Zio ugo cocktail, tuna scottato, and Caesar salad The Review: We were looking for something light and nourishing to munch on, and stopped short when we saw the airy and inviting Capri patio peeking through the South End bricks. The staff welcomed us warmly (such nice folks!). The drinks were so refreshing--I highly recommend the Zio ugo cocktail, which is reminiscent of the Hugo spritz. My mom prefers fully cooked over raw, so they were able to make the tuna to her liking. I must say that it would've been wonderful with just a sear on it (as opposed to well-done). The crunchy Parmesan-y Caesar salad was the perfect pairing to the tuna. They were able to make everything with gluten allergy precautions for me, even marking the dishes with "allergy" picks. They also can make their pasta dishes with gluten-free pasta! I wandered inside to use the ladies' room when I saw that the decor indoors was even more impressive than their outdoor ambience. It's a beautiful place to celebrate an occasion or just live your fabulous life. Highly recommend Capri. read more
