We went for the Easter brunch and going in, I did not have many expectations for it. In my opinion, brunches are often overpriced, lukewarm renditions of heat and serve options. However, the Easter brunch at Capri was everything BUT! The options were standard with some additional flairs (think: scrambled eggs AND frittata). There was ham and lamb as a meat station and their awesome Bolognese Lasagna as one of the pasta options. And for the kids, chicken tenders and mac n cheese (that adults would like too!) Our servers were fabulous. I liked how they had 2 servers per area and encouraged us to ask either one for whatever we needed. I want to note that there was no flagging down that needed to be done due to the servers always circling back to check on us. We were in the patio room and it was gorgeous with the amount of light coming in. We decided to make this an annual tradition and if they do the brunch next year, we will be doing it again. At $39/adult and $15/child, we thought it was a great price point for the food they offered. This was my first time at Capri and it was exquisite. We will certainly be going back in the near future. read more

Love the food, it is the closes Italian restaurant that actually tastes like real Italian food. I've been to Italy a lot of times and I would say the food is incredible!. Awesome service, the building is beautiful, read more

I had the pleasure of eating at Capri last evening for the first time. What a great experience! The restaurant is very nicely appointed, and has excellent ambience. The food was wonderful and the service was outstanding! Good location, plenty of parking. If you want a great Italian meal, this is the place! read more

Nice restaurant, I've had a few pleasant experiences here. Unfortunately this and many other restaurants have fallen prey to the idea that a television in the room -- in this case, three of them -- adds to the experience. It doesn't. Screens are a constant distraction during a meal and cheapen the experience as well as ruin the ambiance in the room. Is it fine dining, or a sports bar? read more

Where can I start with this hidden gem?! My husband and I stumbled upon this place and decided to make reservations. Best decision we made that day. We were warmly greeted at the door, didn't wait any amount of time to be seated and our waiter treated us like family. The suggestions he made after asking a few questions were spot on! The food was delicious! Did I mention we went back for carryout a week later to pick up that seafood salad! Amazing!!! The ambiance was cozy, with a touch of romance with the low lights. If you've not been, I strongly encourage you to make your reservation today! read more

Best Italian place in the area by far. The pasta is always fresh. The pork chop and lasagna are both phenomenal.

Hideous, absolutely hideous. While I do not expect Italy level execution I did expect and hope for above Olive Garden standard. The tortellini was so think it tasted like chomping into a third graders art project that was packed of Elmer's glue. Tortellini is not supposed to be a 1/4 inch thick and gummy. The flourless chocolate torte may have technically been a torte due to lack of crust but instead of the delicate and dense creaminess a torte should have, this was like a bad gritty gluten free cake that tasted burned. Even the server said she doesn't know how it stays on the menu. If this is what Indiana has to offer for Italian food I would recommend skipping. This place is not worth it even though locals clearly love it. I would recommend spending a few more hours in the car and going north to Chicago where they know what they're doing. read more

Service was poor. We sat waiting for extended periods before our waiter came around during the meal. Wait was so long to get boxes and to get our check that we skipped dessert. I would not return. read more

We had dinner with friends at Capri last night. We've been regulars there dating back to when my friend Arturo Di Rosa opened it many years ago. While it's still a top notch restaurant, it's just not the same since Arturo sold it a few years back. Nonetheless, it's still a wonderful Italian restaurant. We planned to eat outdoors on their patio but the rain forced us to move indoors. Our waiter Steve was very personable, attentive and professional. He provided suggestions on our wine and meal choices. I opted for the Veal Scaloppine Parmigiana and my wife chose the soup of the day paired with the evening special Insalata di Mare - a mixed greens salad with shrimp, scallop and calamari. Both meals were very good and quite flavorful. Capri is still one of the best Italian restaurants in Indy. read more

We usually eat here 2-3 times a year, and Saturday night was the first time we've had a 'meh' experience at Capri in 23 years! To start with, the rolls seemed stale - or perhaps not homemade? I had the pork chop, which is usually amazing. Did it used to be double-cut? I think so. Well, now it's not and the meat is incredibly fatty. So fatty I repeatedly had to take chunks out of my mouth and leave them on my plate - and I LOVE fatty meat! The sauce was thin, and barely had any sun dried tomatoes in it. I get it that prices are tough in the restaurant business right now, but it really seemed like there was some serious corner cutting going on! read more

Wednesday night dinner at Capri. We were seated promptly even as a walk in without a reservation. Our server was no nonsense and explained the menu. They had a special chef's menu that we ordered a few items from it. The best dish of the night was definitely the shrimp appetizer(Gamberoni Fra Diavolo). It was spicy but not too spicy. I could use that sauce on a pasta. That would have been perfect. I enjoyed the chef's lobster risotto with scallops. The scallops were quite large and seared nicely. The flavor was good and rice was not overcooked or mushy. My date and I split a Caesar salad. I did not try the raviolis but my date ate and enjoyed them. The truffle cheese sticks was melty and I used the spicy sauce to dip instead of the marina it was served with. They were dusted with truffle seasoning. The biggest miss was the broccolini. It did not have a great flavor. I had high hopes because it was served too with crispy garlic. We were offered dessert but no room. I did however finish the meal off with a limoncello. Can't pass that up at a good Italian restaurant. Overall experience was great and I would visit again! read more

We've dined several times at Capri as well as ordered delivery a couple of times via DoorDash. Either way, the food is always excellent! When dining in, we like to sit in the bar area -- either at a nice table or at the bar top. We enjoy the classic décor, Sinatra-era music and overall vibe of the bar area. We've tried several menu items including fresh salads, intriguing appetizers, delicious pastas, well-seasoned filet and veal entrées, delightful seafood, and yummy desserts. Many of the items we've tried were from the Chef's Features found on the back page of the in-house menu. All that to say, I can't recall the names of all of them, but I've provided pictures (and captions of ones I could recall). All meat entrées include a side of patate al formaggio -- you do not want to miss out on this side dish of Heaven!! Tip: Capri is a nice place for celebrations. Personally, we've celebrated a career promotion with our family in the bar area. Last evening, a family of six was celebrating a mother's birthday with great food as well as a nice wine selection, by bottle as well as by glass (all over 21, of course). read more

Wonderful lunch at Capri! I grew up coming here - my dad and stepmom even had their wedding reception here. It's one of the few Indy restaurants I miss now that I live in California. I took my mom (who still lives in Indy) to Capri for lunch and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant still looks wonderful and it was great to hear that Arturo retired (but still owns the building) and a new generation of entrepreneurs has taken it over and retained the same quality. Lunch is a great deal - you can get smaller portions of house made pasta dishes and full sized starters for a lower price than dinner. They also have seafood, steaks, chicken, and chef specials. I started with a house smoked salmon salad and a glass of sparkling rosé. Both were delicious. For my entree, I had Fettucine del Golfo with white wine sauce and my mom had Linguine alle Vongole with white wine sauce. Both were absolutely delicious! Mom said the Linguine alle Vongole was just like the kind my grandma used to make (and we still have the recipe). Our server, John, was extremely friendly and attentive. All the other staff we interacted with were also very nice and efficient. A lovely lunch and great time spent with my mom. read more

Bolognese Lasagna 8.94/10 - best thing on the menu, taste and presentation top tier. Loaded with meat Rigatoni Vodka 7.6/10 (Sundried tomato Rigatoni, Soleggiati tomato, cream, fennel, burrata) - underwhelming. I did take a bite with no burrata so probably why. Calamari Fritti 8.8/10 (Calamari fried in Capri's house batter) - really good calamari, was soft and flavorful. The sauce was way too thin for my liking. Truffle Mozzarella Sticks 6.5/10 - no cheese pull so major deduction was necessary. ALSO I thought there'd be truffle inside of the mozzarella stick but its just a truffle powder on a normal mozz stick Stuffed Portobello Mushroom 5/10 (Stuffed with chicken, spinach, ricotta cheese and onions, drizzled with truffle oil and balsamic) - absolutely not. I make GREAT stuffed mushrooms that don't even compare to these. Caesar Salad 8/10 - Very solid Tortelloni Alla Papalina 8.3/10 (Homemade pasta filled with ricotta, sauteéd in olive oil, onions, pancetta, mushrooms and cream) - so insanely rich. could only eat like 3 til I went blind from heavy cream. Tagliatelle deal Fattore 8/10 (Homemade pasta tossed with sauteéd diced chicken, olive oil, garlic, sun dried tomato, asparagus, cream) - Basically the same as the Papalina just noodle form and not little raviolis. Not as such since it doesn't have the extra ricotta Warm Bacon and Pear Salad 6.8/10 (Spinach and Kale blend, pear, red onion, soleggiati tomato, walnut crouton, ricotta salata, warm bacon vinaigrette) - the lettuce was too green and like leafy. Prefer a nice crispy lettuce. Flavors were good though Risotto -/10 (Lobster stock saffron risotto with scallops) - didn't try but Nancy brought this home a couple months ago and I had the leftovers. Was good not great. Probs better fresh but I wasn't in the mood read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We ate outside and it was very pleasant under the vine covered pergola.

Really great first experience at Capri. We started off with the Calamari. It was good but in my opinion it could've been crispier. You can tell from the photos it wasn't very crisp. But good quality seafood. For our mains we got the Lobster Pasta and the Chicken Piccata. The lobster pasta was delicious! The sauce was incredible and a great portion of lobster was as included. The chicken piccata was also really good. The sauce was delicious. It came with cheesy potatoes which were awesome and mixed veggies which were meh. They had no seasoning on them. We split an order of sprouts as our side. They were delicious!! Came in a Gorgonzola sauce. The only thing that would've made them 5 star sprouts was having them a bit crispier or softer (aka cooked longer) but perhaps that is personal preference. For dessert we got the cannoli. The cream was very orange-y which was good but not what we expected! Could've down without the chocolate sauce, but it was a good cannoli. We did come here for a bday dinner and we didn't get anything special for that beyond the superb service! Would definitely dine again and recommend as a fantastic authentic Italian restaurant! I feel like pricing was very fair for the portion size and quality of the food. read more

A hidden spot off of keystone avenue. We had such a great night here with family friends. Our server was wonderful and the food was incredible! My favorite appetizer was the Diablo shrimp. My husband had the special that day- shrimp rissoto and it was delicious! I had the chicken with prosciutto which was also very delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

What's not to love? Some of the best serving staff in Indy. Great with reccomendations, friendly and professional. We love the private club decorating style of elegance. We had the caprese salad, and the tomatoes tasted like home grown. Delicious! I had the veal piccata, my granddaughter had the Fettucine and her hubby had the Gnocchi. We were all beyond please with our meals. Beatifully presented, and so lucious. The Capri has been in business since 1951, and it certainly has proven it's longevity. I suggest you make reservations for any evening, especially weekends. read more

Christian was our waiter. He took superb care of our table of 16 ladies! The food was excellent. I had glutten free penne with red sauce. Glasses were refilled promptly.

This was my first time at Capri, and it was an outstanding experience. It happened to be my birthday, and this will be a birthday dinner to remember. Our waiter, Jason, was phenomenal. It was a pleasure to interact with him, all of his recommendations were spot on, especially the red wine. I'll definitely ask to be seated in his section the next time I go back. The food was amazing. I chose the special, which was lamb chops crusted in coffee and spices. It was excellent. The mozzarella sticks and soup were delicious, the bread was clearly freshly baked. and the butter was a soft as could be. I sampled several of the house wines, all at Jason's recommendation, all were fantastic. This was most definitely a five star meal and I cannot wait to go back. I look forward to taking friends to experience this... and when you walk in, and Tony Bennett is playing, you know you've picked the right place. I'm happy to highly recommend Capri and look forward to many more meals there. Thank you Jason! read more

I found this gem on the Hamilton County Eats & Drinks Facebook page and am I glad I did! Four of us went for dinner and everything was great- from the ambiance to the drinks to the food to the service. Fortunately our server was Ryan and he contributed greatly to the success of the evening- he even showed us a picture of his 5 month old Ezra and of course I then made him look at pictures of my grandkids I'm sorry I didn't take pics of our food, which I usually do. My friend had the veal chop, his wife had Ravioli Aurora, my husband had a chicken dish but I'm not sure which one, and I had a chefs special that had shell pasta, homemade Italian sausage, mushrooms and more in a fabulous provolone sauce. Everyone loved what they had and most of us took home leftovers. A 5 star experience all around! read more

Tonight we visited one of Indy's finest and oldest locally owned restaurants. For restaurant #94 we visited Capri Italian Restaurant in Indianapolis. This restaurant is about as close to authentic Italian as you can get from the food to the staff and the experience as a whole. It is no surprise that this restaurant has been open since 1951! We started out with freshly baked bread and butter, Calamari Fritti, Antipasto Misto, and Melanzane Parmigiana. For our entrees we got a little bit of everything. Some of our favorites were the Chicken Parmigiana, Fettuccine del Golfo, Tortelloni alla Papalina, and the Gnocchi de Patate Sorrentina. We finished out the night with Crème Brulle, Tiramisù, Raspberry Cheesecake, and a couple of other desserts, none of which were disappointing. While the food was good, I think the warm and welcoming ambiance here is really what made this restaurant stand out! The engagement from all of the staff members, especially from our amazing waiter Eugenio and the general manager Aaron, was something that you would not experience anywhere else. We can not recommend this restaurant enough if you want fresh house-made pasta with an authentic Italian feel. read more

The food here is fantastic! I can't believe how many times I have driven by Capri and haven't stopped in. It's definitely a favorite for my family now! The service was pretty good, only thing was our waitress was a tad forgetful at times but was very apologetic and friendly so not bad at all. I ordered fettuccini Alfredo which isn't on their menu, but they made it when I requested that which was a very nice touch. The pasta was a bit thicker than I usually like but tasted fabulous - definitely homemade! The crème brûlée was probably one of my favorites I've had - it had a light citrus flavor which was delightful. The atmosphere is pretty formal and quiet. Definitely a very calm place to have a great Italian meal! My biggest complaint was that we were seated in a back room that I would guess was on the other side of the kitchen. Throughout our entire meal that was a very loud bang on the wall right behind me which definitely startled me on multiple occasions. This would absolutely be a 5 star review if it weren't for that, but I would absolutely return for the food (and hopefully a better table!) read more

Food and drinks were excellent. Kicked things off with my signature move - an Old Fashioned, because if it ain't broke don't fix it. Their house version, made w Benchmark, came out darker than expected but the taste and ratios were on point. By sip #4 I was feeling a good head buzz , exactly what you want from the trusty OF. Calamari for appetizer did not disappoint, very crispy and fresh. For the main entree, I ordered the tortellini papalina. This was a little out of my comfort zone. Not usually a creamy cheesy tortellini type of guy but man was it good. Pancetta added the perfect touch of zing to this deliciously creamy dish. Serverr was fantastic, very attentive and went w the vibe of the table. Chiller fs Would I go back? Absolutely, but do what you can to sit on the bar side. It's truly a tale of two cities. Both sides are great, but the bar side is a little less sleepy and has some sick decor. Lots of Marilyn Monroe iykyk. Also as an added bonus the bartender is quite the character. He looks like a mix of Channing Tatum, Denzel, and a young Brad Pitt. Sounds crazy, right? Trust me , it's accurate. He even says so himself. He was a very mysterious gentlemen but provided our group with excellent service for our post-din din bev. Overall I had a fantastic night with great drinks, great food, and the best company. I'll be back to hang w Mr. Tatum/Washington/Pitt very soon. 8.8/10 **Follow me, Carmel K. - where hot spots meet honest thoughts** read more

I loved every aspect of dining at Capri. Many friends in the area mentioned how great this restaurant is and it did not disappoint! After I made a dinner reservation for 5 the staff personally called me to ensure that everyone was able to climb stairs if necessary to get to our table, which was much appreciated. Our server was warm, gave helpful dish recommendations and was extremely accommodating throughout the entire meal. We enjoyed complimentary bread, fried mozzarella stick and artichoke appetizers to start which were all yummy. I ordered a fantastic spicy pasta dish and saved room for bread pudding and decaf coffee for dessert. If I had to give a critique I would have preferred the onions in my pasta sauce to be cooked a bit longer (they were a bit crunchy) but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed all of the food. I can't wait to dine here again and try more of the menu items! read more

We were in the mood for Italian so we went to Capri for dinner. You get bread and butter on the table. For an Italian restaurant, I wish they had oil but the bread and butter was warm. I started with a lettuce wedge that was good not great but great portion. For my pasta I got tagliatelle del fattore. It was very filling with chicken, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and asparagus. Our server was friendly but I felt like he was rushing us. The ambience was cozy! read more

I had the best experience at Capri Italian Restaurant today. They really made Thanksgiving special! I started with having an Espresso Martini at the bar.

The worst thing about Capri is that there are simply too many fantastic entrées to order! I went with the veal Salcicia and my wife went with the chicken scallopini. The sliced potatoes made a very interesting accompaniment, but the broccoli, carrots, and green beans were fresh, crisp, and hot. We tried the lemon tiramisu, and it was a winner! Our waiter Stephen was great. Funny, knowledgeable, clearly experienced, and knew just when to come and check on us. The price is a great value when you include the very well created drinks that we had. Unquestionably one of the two top Italian restaurants that we go to. read more

What an elegant vibe. The tree growing in the middle of the patio is a unique touch. Unfortunately I can be a little ocd and would was extra conscious/worrisome of random tree debris falling in my food and drink. They make everything from scratch which I love, and the servers know a ton about the restaurant and of course featured items. There was one waiter who sounded like he literally flew here straight from Italy. I got the spaghetti and meatballs which were quite filling. I wish they were a little bit more flavorful but it seemed like authentic Italian with simple fresh ingredients. This restaurant tends to draw in an older crowd but it just seems like a classic place. I would definitely go back and just sit inside next time. read more
