I was excited to try this spot given all the hype surrounding it, and while the patio is undeniably cute, the overall experience fell well short of expectations. The restaurant is consistently busy, so I would recommend making a reservation in advance. I was seated in the downstairs area near the doors, which offered a nice indoor-outdoor feel. Unfortunately, the service and food quality did not justify the price. Despite ordering quite a few items, the experience felt rushed, and the bottle of wine I wanted was unavailable. My filet mignon arrived overcooked, so I sent it back, only for the replacement to arrive ice cold. To make matters worse, the server did not remove one of the steaks from the bill until I specifically asked to speak with a manager. The interaction with the manager was equally disappointing. He came across as arrogant and offered no meaningful resolution, simply handing me his business card in case I needed assistance making a future reservation. I had also mentioned that I was celebrating my engagement, but there was no acknowledgment of the occasion. Ultimately, the atmosphere and patio are appealing, but they are not enough to make up for the inconsistent food, disappointing service, and high prices. Given the lack of attention to detail and the way the situation was handled, I would not return.
The place is gorgeous and gets hoppin on the weekends! The space is huge with a more formal vibe inside with a bar and additional dining options outside, which is super trendy against the backdrop of the neighborhood. Wine selection is stellar. I was disappointed with the Nebbiolo tbh--I used to keep some awesome selections at home--but nearly fell off my chair when I tried the Montepulchiano (somm's choice btw, to accompany my dinner). Start with their garlic bread-- completely worth it. I had the rigatoni bulognese, which they adjusted to be GF and dairy free. Staff were friendly, our server was awesome.
Before Capri (and Daily Catch), I had given up on Boston Italian. I think arguably there is no restaurant in Boston that can beat the ambiance and interior of Capri coupled with its incredible food and great service. I went for a friend's birthday brunch and we were seated in their outside patio, which is gorgeous and felt like an Italian summer in the South End. The honey buns and caesar salad are perfect starters. We had their tuna tartare and octopus carpaccio as well, which was excellent and I loved the passion fruit and apple as sweet components. Chicken parm is one of the best in Boston. I also love their garganelli alla pollo as a pasta entree. The french toast is also a lovely brunch option, but I do prefer savory dishes and think that their savory items are much more outstanding. Would love to come back for dinner service and sit indoors, it looks beautiful inside!
Capri was delicious! First of all, I loved the theming on the inside! They have a big tree in the middle and a giant striped tent/canvas on the ceiling. The "Italian steakhouse" theming is present throughout. They have a beautiful bar and lots of seating. Also they have a giant outdoor space that seats separately from the restaurant. Would be great for a happy hour in the evening. We had a delicious espresso martinis with limoncello cold foam! Appetizers we did the honey buns, which was this super soft pull apart bread with honey butter. For dinner I did the vodka pasta which was super yummy. She had the surf and turf plus mashed potatoes. Evening was delicious. The potatoes were whipped, so it was super creamy. For dessert we did little scoops of gelato! Service was ever good the entire visit, I would love to come back!
Free parking is very convenient. The outside patio was very cute, warm, cozy and didn't feel like dining out in the city. The service was great -- very friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was good. The honey buns were amazing and the meatballs were fantastic. We ordered chicken and eggplant parmigiana - both were tasty. The chicken and eggplant were very crispy. Not a huge portion of pasta and the vodka sauce was kind of bland. We would go back to try different entrees. The cocktails were great as well - really good espresso martini and spritz. Overall, not sure it's worth the difficulty in snagging a reservation but a good meal.
The restaurant is so beautiful - both the inside and outside sections are stunning. We came here for lunch on the weekend and really enjoyed our experience. The service was attentive and the food came out quickly. I will say while I liked the food it didn't wow me, but still a great spot!
Beautiful place, mediocre food. The outside bar is very nice, great ambiance. Sadly, I had to eat inside as it was all full. The inside is just as nice with a beautiful bar. My bartender was great. Very attentive and my aperol spritz was delicious. Unfortunately, the food was very mediocre. I got the radicchio salad and it just wasn't that pleasing. First, it came out extremely rustic, the leaves uncut. I assume the orange was added to offset the radicchio bitterness but the oranges were not sweet at all. Just a very bland salad with terrible presentation. The cavatelli with sausage was average the broccoli was hard and not soft. It was ok, nothing special. I'll return because I always give places a second chance, maybe I didn't order the best options.
I've been wanting to try Capri since it opened, so I was excited to finally visit for my birthday. The ambiance is definitely upscale and suave, with dim lighting, long couches, and a spacious layout upstairs and downstairs. The space itself sets the expectation for a special experience. Unfortunately, the service and food did not match that expectation. My reservation noted that it was my birthday and included a seating request. I understand seating requests are not guaranteed, but no one acknowledged the birthday or explained that the requested seating wasn't available. At the front desk, there were several people standing around, including three others chatting behind the desk, yet I barely felt acknowledged. Two people were looking at a device trying to figure out my check-in and seating, followed by a slow handoff of who would actually seat me. I'm not sure what was happening, but it made the arrival feel unnecessarily cold and disorganized. The food had similar issues. The cheese board was three small pieces of cheese with grapes, cantaloupe, and crackers. For the price point, it felt very basic and lacked thoughtful presentation. I also wanted a zero-proof mocktail, but one of the three options contained Prosecco, which obviously does not make it zero-proof. The drink I ordered was not good, and I eventually left it sitting. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and added shrimp after specifically asking if it was grilled. I was told it was, but it arrived not grilled. The waitress did take it back and have it prepared correctly, which I appreciated, but this was exactly why I asked the question beforehand. By the end of the meal, I skipped dessert because I simply wasn't impressed with the food or drinks. Capri is not inexpensive, and for that price, I expected more thoughtful food, better execution, and more attentive service. I left and continued my dining experience at Frenchie Wine Bistro down the street from Capri. In addition, I actually texted one of my group chats afterward to let them know I finally had the opportunity to visit Capri, and I also told them I have no interest in returning. I'm glad I tried it for myself, but the experience did not give me a reason to come back. One accessibility note: there is a side walkway that appears to lead toward the back and downstairs areas. I did not see an elevator, so if stairs are difficult or you need mobility accommodations, I would recommend confirming seating options ahead of time.
The honey buns taste as good as they look, maybe even better, but save room for dinner! I know it's tempting but trust me there is more good food coming. The chicken parmigiana was amazing. Usually when I order chicken parmigiana, the chicken is small and there's a lot of pasta, but that was not the case at Capri. They give you a decent sized piece of chicken, which is great, but the pasta was also amazing. I actually wish I had ordered more pasta. The Caesar salad was average. The grilled lemon on the side was a nice touch when drizzled over the salad, but I wasn't blown away by the Caesar dressing. We sat at the bar on the patio, and the waiter was super kind and hardworking. He was managing a lot of groups coming and going and still provided great service.
Came here in a Friday evening with a dinner reservation at 6:15. We were promptly seated in the outdoor patio area. It is in a lovely courtyard surrounded on three sides by the adjacent brick building. The very helpful waitstaff came by and answered questions we had about the menu. We put in our drink orders and all of the cocktails were lovely. The standout appetizers were the tuna tartare, Sicilian citrus, and the honey buns. For entrees, the chicken parmigiana was lovely and crispy, I enjoyed it much more than the same dish at their sister restaurant Prima. For dessert, the limoncello tiramisu was lovely, nothing like a tiramisu aside from the ladyfingers, but it was still delicious! Definitely recommend trying this popular restaurant out if you're looking to try a hot, new restaurant. Probably make a reservation though!
I'd rate the food a 4/5 but the service/ambiance pushes this review up to a 5 for me. Our server was SO nice and I love that you're able to order half portions of pasta here if you want to try more things. It's also a very beautiful restaurant for pictures. They're known for their honey buns appetizer, which a good way to start the meal (didn't wow me but was still yummy). Of the pastas, I liked the garganelli the best (the chicken sausage was good). Also like the vodka sauce they use. Dessert was good but again didn't wow me. I actually wasn't the biggest fan of the cocktails-- they're beautiful but flavor was a bit one dimensional. Overall though, I'd recommend as a place to go with friends!
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!
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.
Made reservations here while visiting Boston for the weekend. I'll start by saying WOW to this restaurants decor, absolutely stunning. I had probably the best caesar salad I've ever had to start. Burrata, bread and steak ALL MUST BE ORDERED! I ordered an espresso as my drink, it was good but my friend's Marg was better. I will totally be back here when I am back in the Boston area. read more

I really wanted this experience to be amazing. It's hard to get a reservation. We finally managed to plan a 1230pm Sun reservation 30 days in advance. We heard they had some brunch specials- they had one (French toast). The honey buns were as good as the photos. The Caesar salad was amazing. The restaurant was made for IG- the design and decor are incredible. Great music. Service was very average- not bad but nothing notable. The runners need more experience. Our salad arrived first- before my amazing mocktail and the honey buns. A little odd. The chicken parm and rigatoni bolognese were good but not outstanding. We ordered 2 desserts to share- server came back to tell us one wasn't available- still baking. Hmm- odd. Disappointing. They only have a few desserts on their menu-maybe they need to come in early and bake? We agreed only the Caesar salad and honey buns would potentially draw us back for a second visit- or if they introduce a brunch menu. read more

I have wanted to eat at Capri for months, and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I had the best date here last night. The ambiance was wonderful, and we ate in the lower dining section next to the open patio doors. Our waiter, Theo, could not have been sweeter or more pleasant to talk to. He was incredibly warm and took such wonderful care of us, I hope we get him again next time we go back! For drinks, I got two of the Zio Ugo, which was so delicious and refreshing without being overly sweet. For appetizers, we of course ordered the honey buns (potentially the highlight of the meal and lived up to the hype; deliciously sweet and the inside so fluffy, the ricotta complemented them perfectly) and the caesar salad (so crunchy and refreshing). For our entrees, my boyfriend got the rigatoni alla vodka, which he devoured, and I got the chicken parm with vodka sauce (a bit of an off menu item I have seen online that they were kindly very willing to accommodate, it came with some pasta as well which was a wonderful surprise). The vodka sauce on both of these had delicious flavor and consistency, and my chicken cutlet was breaded and cooked to perfection. I also got a side of the cremini mushrooms, the savory flavor, texture, and juiciness of which was so delicious (as someone who is a particular fan of mushrooms). We did not get to try dessert as we were absolutely stuffed, but this is a priority for us for next time as I have heard amazing things! Shoutout to Theo again he was just the best read more

Great service. It's a very long wait though if you try to walk-in (we walk in at 4:30PM on a Saturday and we got really lucky that there was one open spot left for two). They split the pasta in two if you want to so you can try more variety. read more

Interior is gorgeous and great vibes on the patio. Service was pretty good, don't love that you have to order everything at once. The bread is the most memorable part of the experience. I found the portion sizes to be a bit over the top. I visited close to opening week, so I would like to give it another try to see if there's been any improvements. read more

Another overly priced Boston spot. Over priced drinks. Drinks tasted like they were watered down. Spritz had either sprite or 7up Focaccia they should just remove off the menu it was possibly the worst I've ever had. Dense and with bagged motz cheese. They hired influencers to boost their rating but you can easily see through their BS. When we got their "they said oh we're so busy today but let's see if we can fit you" ahhhhhh answer. There was maybe 4 full table there if that. Tuna tartare was fishy. Way too fishy. Pasta is not homemade and was severely overcooked. Another trash Boston spot that will most likely fail if they don't get their ish together by next year. Or they're just be another overly priced cocktail spot with 5-7 tables full of prissy influencers. Typical. read more

Food is very mid, there are so many better options for Italian food in south end ex. Coppa, Gigi, and SRV. The waiter knocked over the water on one of my friend, they apologized and offered complimentary dessert for us. When the bill came they charged us for one of the dessert. This the type of restaurant you go when they first open and never return. Honey Bun - very mid Truffle fries - McDonald style fries with some truffle on top ($16) Vongole - super sour&salty Steak - unseasoned and not the best quality meat Chicken parm - nothing special GARGANELLI ALLA POLLO - the most decent dish from tonight 2 desserts are okay read more

I went to Capri with my fiancé tonight after trying to get her reservation for months when we got there the vibe was very warm and fun and we were both super excited as we didn't have a reservation till 845 so we were very hungry. We got a Caesar salad, honey buns and truffle fries and for our entrée, we got the rigatoni à la vodka. The honey buns were definitely the star of the show for me as they were sweet and warm and the whipped ricotta that came with them was delicious. The Caesar salad was very good too although we both will say it came with a lot of dressing, but the crunch in each bite was enjoyable. The truffle fries were weird so I would skip them as for the rigatoni à la vodka personally to me it was too spicy so that was kind of a bummer. Overall the service was just OK. Our waitress didn't really come by too many times leaving our water unattended and also never asked if I wanted another drink or my fiancé. At the end when we were trying to just get the check, she kind of pushed dessert on us and that kind of was weird. if you wanna give it a try, definitely but I wouldn't say this restaurant is life-changing. I doubt I will ever come back. read more
Capri definitely lives up to the hype! The incredible coastal Italian aesthetics alone are enough to draw you in, but the food is the reason to stay. We had heard that the honey buns were a must get and they did not disappoint! The bread is so soft and the honey and sea salt add a great flavor. It didn't even need the ricotta it came with but that was great too. The crunchy ceasar salad was HUGE, honestly four could probably share it as an app. For entrees we got the rigatoni alla vodka and the chicken parm. For the chicken parm you get to choose what sauce you'd like - marinara, vodka, or bolognese. We went with the bolognese and it was great. Finally the service was incredible. Our server was thoughtful, attentive, and made great recommendations. Definitely coming back for another date night or a fun girls night out! read more

This place was really nice we had a reservation at 2pm and they were super quick and friendly. The restaurant I can only describe as "moody" for the decor, very nice for dinner. The pictures also don't show we ordered the honeybuns which were amazing. My entire party ordered pasta so I cannot speak for the steakhouse part of this restaurant but the chicken cutlet serving was massive and my friend had to order an extra plate because it was big. The waiter's service was excellent and the food came out promptly. The food was a great portion and pasta is made fresh there so that was a nice touch. The mousse we ordered was delicious I could've had it all to myself. We were also recommended to order a salad which we did but I guess that slipped through the cracks which was ok because all the other food was great sizes. The restaurant was also stunning and I'd love to come back during the summer to see their outdoor seating area. read more

Do they accept walk-in's?
Yes! We walked in. I’m sure it’s best to have a reservation at popular times.
