The place is like a time capsule, reminds me of the mom and pop family restaurants I used to go to every weekend as a kid. I didn't have high expectations going in, but they accommodated a large party at the last minute, so we gave it a chance. Prices were reasonable, portions were nice sized, and the service was friendly. This is a perfect casual place for families and friends, and there is something on the menu for every taste. Give it a chance and it may surprise you too. read more

What a great charming restaurant. We had chicken piccata, chicken Marsala, meat lasagna and lobster ravioli. Old school restaurant with great decor. The lights are perfect. read more

After three years of being overcharged on a credit card and disputing it and never getting compensated, we decided to try the restaurant again. The food was dry and bland and they charge a 4% surcharge if you use a credit card do not recommend the place definitely go to Gresham's better quality and honest service read more

Restaurant looked old, rugs, tables, cheap chairs. Very 60s, 70's and not updated in a long time. The food was mostly okay but nothing to write home about. I will say don't get deserts. They tasted like cheap store bought pies from the local Weis and still slices are small and they're over priced for what you get. Here's the kicker. When you order of the menu they ask what sauce or dressing for a salad would you like. They don't tell you that some are extra. For instance, a salad with blue cheese is $1.50 more than french. Or meat sauce is $3.95 more on spaghetti. The ask would you like a potato for your side but neglect to say it $1.50. If the food had been just a hair worse the review would be a 1. The waitress was pleasant but should have explained we were getting charged extra as we ordered for these small things. Won't return. read more

Capri Restaurant - a receipt for a club savings - Italian Near Me - Lakeville, Pennsylvania

My friends and I have a college reunion every year in the Poconos. This year we decided to make a reservation at Capri for our annual dinner. Unfortunately the night of we called to confirm our reservation and they let us know that they had apparently closed outdoor dining thus canceling our reservation. We were never notified of this and we were counting on this restaurant for our dinner. Very disappointing. read more

This place is great! My boyfriend and I came here on an overnight trip to the area and loved everything we had. My boyfriend had the chicken noodle soup & the gnocchi. I had the Alaskan king crab legs which were very fresh and plentiful. Even the bread and salads served beforehand were great. Awesome drink specials and an amazing staff. Our waitress, Chelsea I believe her name was, was the sweetest and very attentive. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

I was a little nervous when we walked up. It had a diner feel to it. I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It was not like a diner. While the decor was dated it was nice and open. I had the flounder with crabmeat stuffing. Absolutely amazing!!!!! We've lived in the area for awhile and are trying to discover places here to patronize. We will be back. read more

We have enjoyed many different entrées at Capri, and loved every single dish at this family owned and operated restaurant. The seafood is fresh and cooked perfectly! My favorites are the sea scallops and salmon. The veal dishes are phenomenal, and the rack of lamb dish is absolute perfection! Our waitress Chelsea is super sweet and so amazingly efficient, she knows our drink preferences and that we love to start our dinner with the dozen Italian clams and the bang-bang shrimp. Our entire family has been dining at Capri over a dozen times within the last 3 months and it is, without a doubt, our favorite restaurant. read more

My husband and I have always loved this restaurant . We even went here to celebrate our engagement years ago, but it has been going down hill fast. Went last night to celebrate a birthday. We brought a cake and the server took it in the back to refrigerate it. The cake was a surprise. After being seated, the waitress told us we have to share menus since they didn't have enough. Ok.. Next, after ordering drinks, we were never poured water. The glasses sat on the table. Had to ask for water. Whatever. No a big deal. Once drinks came out there was lipstick on my glass. For 8 people we were brought one little loaf of bread. No bread plates. I asked multiple times for plates but the waitress was so busy we never got them. We ate off the plastic tablecloths. We were never offered refills and had to keep asking. When asking the waitress, she seemed annoyed with us and kept rolling her eyes. We asked about something on the menu and she said "I have no idea". She didn't even offer to ask somebody else. The food wasn't bad. Only reason I come back. After dinner the waitress completely forgot about the cake and we had to remind her.. so much for a surprise. When the bill came out, we were charged for every single refill of soda that was filled with all ice. I understand it was busy and all but the waitress attitude was very disappointing. Will not be returning.. very bummed about this experience. read more

Very good Italian food. Severs always pleasant. Haven't been disappointed. The decor takes me back in time though very clean and tasteful. read more

The most horrible place i have ever been. I am SHOCKED this place is in business. We went there in the afternoon and were the first customers to arrive. The service was so bad that it took them 20 mins to get us our drinks. Then the food, OMG i wouldn't take my dog there. Main dish w/o any bread or salad. How the fuck do you serve chicken marsala without any bread or salad. We spent, sorry they robbed us, 60 dollars and we said this will be the first and last time we will go there. The waitress, a complete bimbo, forgot our baked potato, we had to remind her twice and then after 20 mins got the potato after we finished our meal. The potato was raw inside and we had to ask her to take it off the bill. What a waste of our time and money. read more

The seafood medley is delicious, service was great and they make their own delicious dressings onsite. I'm typically stuck up about Italian food but was very pleasantly surprised with this hidden gem. read more

Capri Restaurant - a plate of pasta with clams and shrimp - Italian Near Me - Lakeville, Pennsylvania

I use to love this place but looks like its going down hill, Just found out the The tall, tattooed nasty waitress that just got fired from Hawley Burger works here at Capri, its just a matter of time before the negative reviews start pilling up and it looks like it already started. Guess I won't be going here anymore. read more

Though the restaurants interior is a bit dated, the food is classic Italian. We really enjoyed the special Seafood Medley. I had the Chicken Parmigiana was moist and tender. We will be back. read more

Capri Restaurant - Delicious hot roasted sweet red peppers - Italian Near Me - Lakeville, Pennsylvania

Would have given a 3.5 if possible. I went to eat at this restaurant with a large group of people and though we set a reservation, it was absolutely not needed considering how empty it was. The interior is very roomy and contains bar seating and table seating. Despite the size, Capri was designed very questionably. It has random couches, broken and unfit lighting, and scattered pictures that are completely irrelevant to the setting. The only reason I put so much emphasis on the odd atmosphere is because the restaurant has so much potential! It has a very nice view of the lake with a dock for boaters. Aside from this, the food was pretty good. I had the chicken parmigiana which I personally thought was delicious but aside from that, it wasn't anything to-die-for. I would come back if I was in the area but wouldn't make a trip to visit. read more

Wow. The restaurant that time forgot. I've never seen anything like it. Like it hasn't been touched since it was built (1950s?). There was only one other group in the restaurant on a Thursday night in July, the height of tourist season. We went 2 for 5 on our meals. The shrimp scampi and gnocchi with vodka sauce were very good, the other meals not so much. Service was great though. So much potential at a great location. Can't believe it's still in business. read more

Pass. While they were able to accommodate a party of 7 on a Saturday evening, and for that they get a star, the experience was not good. A dirty glass, sloooooooooooow service by what seemed like a confused staff, and the food was only barely passable. I asked for crushed red pepper for my chicken parm, and the shaker that was brought out contained pepper so old it had turned black. Place seemed like it was in the short list for the next episode of Restaurant: Impossible. Not sure why they're currently rated so highly, other than lack of options in the area. read more

This place hasn't changed in YEARS... my grandparents dined and danced here, my father worked here the summer of his 16th year, and now I've been eating here all my life. Great service (always friendly, realistic about timing, attentive), delicious food, and the ambiance is a journey through space and time. Love you Capri, don't ever change read more

The first time we went we sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice and gave us good recommendations. Food was good. The second time we went the girl behind the bar was not very friendly or attentive. Thought the prices for drinks were pretty high for the area. read more

Just finished a very pleasurable and memorable dining experience at Capri and highly recommend this restaurant. We were greeted by the lovely and vivacious Michelle who started our evening right by making our newly discovered favorite drink, Orange Creamsicle. Our dinner opened with a delicious salad with homemade dressing followed by our wonderful entree of veal parmigiana and mix seafood pasta (the menu is mostly Italian and seafood). The food was awesome, the portions were generous and the overall dining experience was fantastic! Next time we're in the neighborhood, we're definitely coming back! read more

If you haven't been to Capri restaurant since the 1970s, you haven't missed a thing! Same lights, plastic tablecloths, and carpeting. Add grisly chicken for $15 and each side was $1.50 extra for frozen broccoli and bland penne . . . and served in monkey dishes! New bar area is nice. Our service was very good. This restaurant has incredible potential but the current owner has just owned it way too long. read more

Food is to die for. Very laid back/casual atmosphere but don't let it fool you - the food is ah-mazing. Family owned and friendly staff. Great experience all around. read more

Capri does take reservations, but they won't be needed, this place is like a ghost town. The atmosphere is a little strange, like a hybrid between a 1900's wedding hall and a barn. There are random pieces of home furniture scatted about the restaurant and table clothes that look like horse saddles, but aside from the looks, there food was very good. I had the gnocchi in a vodka sauce and it was very delicious, yet my mom had a terrible dish of penne vodka that tasted like "gummy paste". The price was reasonable and the service was wonderful, very friendly people. I would recommend coming here, but it's a bit funky , and choose your dish wisely. read more

Capri Restaurant - This is the gnocchi in a vodka sauce - Italian Near Me - Lakeville, Pennsylvania

Home made salad dressing for on the salad was top notch and the seafood that we had in the seafood melody was awesome.... The seafood was cooked to perfection. Sauce was a little bland, but NOT terrible! The frozen strawberry daquari was very good. The prices were excellent for the dishes. Even though I live an hour away I plan on visiting again. read more

Everyone should come visit the capri and try some delicious food and beverages!

Worse Calamari I've ever had. Pork chops fine, stuffed salmon ok but pricey for just a tiny piece of fish and salad. Sides 2.50 - ordered fries thinking they would be home made but just cheap crinkle cut. Musty, not so clean, won't rush back. read more

I was for a weekend at the lake, and came to this restaurant by accident. The place overlook the lake, very nicely located. And I loved the eggplant parmesan! While it's appetizer, the portions are huge. Friendly and accommodating staff. Enjoyed the dinner very much. read more

I took my dad for dinner here last week. Have to agree that the decor was dated, but not to the extend I expected from reading reviews. My dad ordered the sea scallops but didn't want it over linguine, so the waitress suggested a different side. He chose a baked potato. I ordered veal parmesan - the waitress asked what kind of pasta I would like and I chose angel hair. We both enjoyed the salads - crisp & fresh. (House vinaigrette was really good.) My dad loved the scallops! I liked the veal parm -good, but not the best I've ever had. My angel hair pasta was bland and watery - very disappointing. Service was average. Bus girls didn't seem to know what to take away - kept trying to take dishes we were still eating from, but didn't take finished plates. The bill came and I was annoyed to find that NOT ONLY did they charge extra for salad dressing (only "house" dressing is free!) They ALSO CHARGED $1.50 for baked potato AND $1.50 for the pasta!!! WHO DOES THAT?? Doesn't pasta ALWAYS come with veal parm?? And shouldn't the potato be free if he subbed it for the pasta?? And at the very least, SHOULDN'T THE WAITRESS HAVE INFORMED US OF THESE UPCHARGES?? Nothing worse than being nickled-and-dimed! Won't be back. read more

Very,very,good seafood,and homemade pasta dishes,a bit pricey but worth it if your looking for a really nice place to dine at.
