Loved the atmosphere, old building, Tony server excellent, Food, not so much. Rigatoni vodka sauce so heavy, rigatoni like sewer pipes so large and tough, minestrone very chewy, chicken with mozzarella just ok. Only ones for lunch, probably won't return. read more

Just had a wonderful lunch with another couple outside today. Our waiter ,toni, was exceptionally cordial without being condescending. Our meal was delicious (try the tilapia) and the owner/chef came out from the kitchen to greet is and chat for about five minutes This restaurant is rated at five stars based in service/quality and taste of food/presentation/value/ambiance. However it would be nice that since their outdoor seating has a southern exposure that they have umbrellas. But there is no reason that they get dinged for the lack of this Go there and you will be more than satisfied. We plan on returning soon read more

Great food, great service. I love when an owner (who's also the chef) comes out of the kitchen to ask about your meal. This is my go to place since moving out this way. read more

I've eaten at Capri several times this past summer. Was served by Tony and he's amazing and professional. Always does more than expected to make your meal special. Tonight I was there with a close friend who I hadn't seen since summer. The first thing the waiter (not Tony) says to me is "you can only have the booth for an hour and a half". I laughed and said that we hadn't seen each other for awhile and what if we went over the time? He said "I guess we'd throw you out. We were both laughing, but I found it strange. We both ordered the jumbo shrimp, marinara over linguini. We both also asked for it not to be spicy. The description mentioned crushed hot peppers. Our meals arrived and we started eating. We then realized the shrimp weren't jumbo. I mentioned this to the waiter and he apologized and said "do you want something else"? We should have sent it back, and didn't. So closer to the end of our meal, I asked if we could get a discount. He said "well you ate it, didn't you?" I politely asked That he ask the manager if we could have a discount. About 5 minutes later, he brought us a small plate of cannolis, that were not tasty. He presented us with the bill, which did not include a discount. This is the first time I've been disappointed in Capri. We were treated rudely, and the food should have been discounted. read more

We came here this evening after a short stroll through Cruise Night in downtown Plainfield. I love this place and it's old world Italian charm, but mostly the service provided by Spencer was excellent and the food divine! My daughter and I shared the pappardelle bolognese. Talk about sweet, delicate sauce over hand cut sheets of fresh pasta. I was sad when my portion ended, LOL. My husband had the Lasagna Carne and it was just as divine. The three of us then shared the Limoncello cream cake, rich, yet delicate, topped with an amazing Luxardo cherry! We cannot wait to return to this wonderful place and so glad it is still here in downtown Plainfield! read more

My husband and I visited for the 1st (not last) time on Saturday 3/4/17. We went at 5 as they don't take reservations on Friday or Saturday for parties of 2 and I knew it was small so off we went. We were seated right away but unfortunately, it was by the door and every time the door opened, it was freezing. Request to be seated far from the door in the winter months. Our server Tiff was great! The tomato paste they serve with the bread was delicious! The bread was served dry- which I like b/c I don't care for buttered bread. They also provide parmesan and oil for the bread- my husband used all and loved it. I stuck with the tomato paste and parmesan and a touch of salt. For our entrees he ordered the Bruno- Pollo Vesuvio $19.00 and a bottle of Goose Island IPA $5.00. You get a choice of soup or salad and he chose the caesar- he loved his main dish and said the salad was good but overly dressed. I had the Piatti di Mare $27.00 and requested the Diavlo sauce b/c it was spicy with a side salad. They only offer a vinaigrette as the dressing so I requested it on the side and used the aforementioned tomato paste as my 'dressing'. The salad is completely forgettable BUT the dish is not. The portion is huge and delicious- see my pics. I have enough left over for 2 more meals and I'm usually a member of the clean plate club! Prices are reasonable for the portions given, I wish their side salad was better, and if only there was a way that the patrons seated by the door didn't have to freeze this place would be a five star experience. It is small so go early if you are a party of 2 or sit at the bar if space is available- they have 2 tvs for your viewing pleasure read more

Food was good as usual, but the man at the front desk was rude. I made a reservation early in the week for Saturday night. When we arrived he could not find our name on the list. He acted annoyed. There were plenty of empty tables and he seated us downstairs. Then he informed us we had 90 minutes at the table. He said if we went over the time we had to leave. I would have liked to know that when I made the reservation. We enjoy having a coupe of drinks & a couple of appetizers, a leisurely dinner, and then dessert with coffee and after dinner drink. Not wanting to be asked to leave we had one drink and dinner. No appetizers or dessert. He missed a much larger bill along with a very unhappy customer. We live in Plainfield and like to eat local especially these days. Because of his attitude we will not be back. read more

Sooo disappointed. Had reservations but waited unaddressed inside small entry while person at front desk finished phone call... no eye contact, no recognition that we were even standing 3 feet from him! Very poor welcome! We were seated at a table and were unlucky enough to have a gentleman server who actually acted like we were a problem... we are very quiet and asked for nothing! After taking our order in a very military manner he failed to ever return to check on our dining experience...I felt very uncomfortable. The table next to us was serviced by a happy attentive young lady who obliviously understood the restaurant business! Our waiter after our dinner handed us the check... no "how was your dinner?", "any thing else?", just plopped down the bill! I looked up having expected dessert and asked " couldn't we have dessert?" He scowled and asked "did I want dessert?" Took the air out of my dinning experience and I declined to bother him any longer! All the vintage decor in the world does not replace good old fashioned cheerful service! I could have had that treatment at McDonalds....wouldn't have been so disheartened if our waiter had not spent his time chatting at the bar!!!!! Felt very unwelcome! read more

This was my first & last time going to Capri. We went for my Birthday dinner and was disappointed from start to finish. I called capri earlier in the day to make a reservation for 8 people. I told them this was all of our 1st time. It's July. & was 90+ degrees today. We arrived for our reservation and they told us that there was a dress code and we couldn't come in because one person did not have sleeves!? I would totally understand and not complain if that was stated on your website, facebook page or even when i called and told you it was my first time. I complained and the one hostess went to go ask a manager if it was okay that we come in anyway. They allowed it but rudely made sure that if we come next time to follow the dress code!? Will not be returning just because of that. I get it, it's a fancier place but the attitude at the front door was not needed and like i said if it was stated somewhere I wouldn't complain. read more

If you want Italian in Plainfield this is the place. Can get busy so plan accordingly but when you eat the food you'll know why. I personally always get the Aragosta Diavolo. The chef will sometimes come out and ask me how spicy I want it and tailor accordingly but usually I just tell them to go with his norm. It's a huge dish and if I offered any suggestion it might be a little less squid and a little more something else, but that's just me. I've sampled alot of other dishes the family has ordered and nothing ever disappoints. Service is great as expected in a good Italian restaurant. Can't say enough good about them and I'm fairly regular, they are consistently spot on. read more

After checking the restaurant's website for their operating hours, my husband called the restaurant at approximately 7:30 p.m. tonight to make a reservation for this evening. He was told that there were plenty of open tables and that he didn't need to make one. He was also told that the kitchen would be closing at 8:30 p.m. We arrived at the restaurant at about 7:53 p.m. I went inside while my husband parked the car and waited for a couple of minutes before being greeted. When the person came to the post, we were told "Sorry, we're closing tonight at 8 p.m." We returned to our car extremely disappointed. The time was 7:57 p.m. Firstly, it's important to update operating hours on websites and social media. Secondly, make sure team members have accurate information to share with prospective guests. Thirdly, if you say you're closing at 8 p.m., you take guests up until that time and don't turn them away several minutes before. read more

This place is a top favorite of myself and my wife. We have been here over 10 times and never had a bad ... anything. The food is over the top, the waitstaff is proffesional and knowledgeable. The restaurant is a cozy bistro atmosphere. I can not rave enough about this place. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED! read more

Best meal indoor dining since the pandemic closures. Pasta was delicious. I got the spinach artichoke sheimp linguine. My husband got the spicy shrimp spaghetti and raved. We enjoyed the calamari and caprese salad. Seevice was above and better . Everyone was kind helpful and pleasant. Tony was the server we have had in ages. We can't wait to go back. read more

I called 15 minutes out asking if there was a wait. The girl answering the phone says "no, we're not on a wait." "Great," I said "we'll be there in 15 minutes." Show up 15 minutes later and she asks if I have a reservation. "No...I just talked to you and said we're on our way." No room to seat us...fantastic. I don't know...maybe set aside a table when you see your getting busier or maybe call me back and make sure I'm coming nd hold a table. Thanks a lot...it's my husband's birthday. read more

Annoyed a dinner here last evening with 11. Were seated in the private room, great for small gatherings with some privacy. Food was excellent, large portions and wine was great. All really enjoyed from starters to desert. We definitely will come back here and recommend to drop in and have a try. read more

Family run business who cares for their customers. COVID has made it tough on all but Capri has managed to keep the quality high during tough times. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed dining here with my family. Everything about this restaurant is on point. The decor , the great service and the delicious Italian food. I will eat here every time I visit Plainfield. I can't wait to be back next year. read more

Well I haven't had to leave a bad review in quite some time, but let me see if I remember how to do it.... Let me set the stage; Saturday 6:30 PM, sit outside with our best friends for a nice meal. We order some sangria, a bottle of wine and some apps. Apps were good. Waitress explains the specials and does a hell of a job up selling the Dad's day Steak. My friend and I order the steak, him medium and mine mid-rare (of course). Mouth begins to water...., Soup comes... Tasty. Steaks arrive and I immediately cut mine in 1/2 to stop the cooking process. Dammit....well done. Now, if I was sitting in Chili's and I was dumb enuf to order a 16 oz ribeye I would expect to get a ruined steak. But Capri is billed as a top notch eatery, and that comes with a responsibility. Charge $45 for a steak, don't turn it into a hockey puck. Sooooooo, that was a mistake, and having served in "fine" restaurants for 12 yrs it still wouldn't pull a 1 star from me, cuz shit happens. But Capri then proceeded to break the cardinal rule of the service industry. I informed my waitress of the ruined meal, and she apologized profusely. She offered to replace it.... But with 3 toddlers, I told her that wasn't possible. I told her I would eat it but she should inform the cooks so no other patron's meal was ruined.. We finished our meal and asked for the check because it looked like rain was coming. FULL PRICE FOR BOTH STEAKS!!!!!! No apology from a manager... And not a cent of discount. It is sooo easy to fix a kitchen fuck up..... Give shit AWAY!!! Bad food, bad management. In-excusable! Will not be back.... Do yourself a favor and eat at Borolos in Joliet or any Francesca's is you want legit Italian. You'll thank me . Oh and the wine list sucks. read more

Capri Sogno - Steak special.. Ordered mid rare.... Cooked well done. Bad form Capri. - Italian Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

Food and service was amazing!! We got to sit upstairs for the first time. Great atmosphere great food and amazing service

Not impressed. First time diner and if you're going to offer a dinner special (halibut in a butter sauce with capers accompanied with potatoes and green beans for $36), the least thing you can do is to trim the ends of the green beans before you serve it. For the cost of the food, go elsewhere in Plainfield. read more

Always good food but service needs work. I asked if something was available before i ordered my cocktail and was told yes. Then at the same time she brought my drink, told me it was not available. Well then why did you bring me that drink when you knew if they didn't have it i would order something else? In any case, still giving it 4 stars for covid read more

Absolutely delicious! So glad there is finally a nice place to get good Italian food in Plainfield. The location is great and parking was a breeze. The staff were all very friendly and very fast. Our server was Paulina, and she was / is fantastic! She was super friendly and very attentive to us. We chose the Lasagna and Chicken Marsala. The portions are great. Actually, the lasagna was 3/4 of the size of the plate, so lucky for me I have left overs. :-) The taste of the food was awesome. It definitely tastes homemade, compared to some places where you can tell it came in frozen off of a truck. Would I go back, you bet!! read more

Went in on Tuesday evening and made reservations for two for dinner at 6:00 on Wednesday evening. No problems. Arrived Wednesday about 5:50 pm. Was told that we could not be seated. Went to Opera House and dropped $100.00 for dinner for two to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. Will never go back to Capri, and will warn off anyone who asks. read more

BE AWARE OF THE CHARGE TO SPLIT A CHECK. I have never been to a restaurant that charges you $5 extra per couple to split a check. Most ridiculous policy ever. We enjoyed the food, but we will never return due to this unbelievable charge. I asked if we paid cash would we get a 3% discount since they would not have to pay the credit card company for processing? The answer was no. Exactly, that's a cost of doing business just like splitting a check. There are many choices of good restaurants. Don't need to be treated like this way. Don't know how you stay open. Here's hoping others read this and choose another place to dine! read more

First time going there and had a great experience. Tony was very knowledgeable on the menu and gave a lot of information on the homemade pastas they serve there. Loved the atmosphere and would come again. read more

Amazing food and service. Tony our server was amazing super helpful and made me and my date feel at home!

Service was exceptional with Edgar! Food is amazing especially the bragiol and gnocchi! Always a great meal!

Food was good and service was good but $5 for a small ice tea - give me a break!

Good quality Italian food that gets the job done when we don't feel like driving to Chicago. We picked up dinner last night, our order was well packaged, accurate and properly prepared. They even remembered the bread and the freshly grated cheese. An odd thing to be excited about but takeouts and deliveries have been a challenge for restaurants to get right lately I digress. My bride had the Chicken Parmesan with a side of penne marinara and house salad. She was pleased with her dinner I ordered the Veal Marsala with a side of penne bolognese and minestrone soup. The sauce was excellent, the veal was good, it could use a little kick All an all a pleasant meal read more

This place is alright but I just called to see what time they were doing take out until and the guy who answered was so rude it was hard to believe he worked there, not even gonna bother ordering here. read more

We usually meet friends in downtown Plainfield for dinner and enjoy this place. The food is always very good and the staff always friendly. This time we went for an after dinner drink. We like to walk around after dinner then pop in at another place for a drink. The bartender was very friendly and we enjoyed our time. The only drawback was my friends wife likes to have a shot of Tequila after dinner and they only had 1 brand and that was the worst she has ever tasted. Not a problem for me I don't drink it. But we will definitely return for dinner. read more

We used to be regulars at Capri on the South Side and the location in Palos until we moved out to Lockport. Decided to try Capri Sogno on a rare date night and we had a taste for Italian. Even better than those locations. Wonderfully intimate, conveniently located and utterly fabulous food and service. We shared the Calamari Alla Capri as an appetizer (even better than we remembered) and I have the Piata del Mare with the white wine sauce as an entree. So many shrimp, clams, mussels and pieces of calamari I thought it was an order for two! Service was impeccable and we were not rushed out the door during the meal (a rarity nowadays). Delicious - now we'll be regulars at this location read more

Excellent food and service. Sat outside and great venue. No negative. I would recommend the Pork Chop.

My husband and I had an early Mother's Day dinner. Tony was our server. He was amazing! We started with baked clams which were delicious. My husband had veal parmigiana and I had linguine and clams (always my favorite). It was a wonderful meal and experience!! This will be our new go to!! read more

This place was just good Italian. (And they have their liqour license). My wife tried their Sunday plate, which was really, really good. Like we took it home and had it for lunch and dinner the next day, it was so good. I had the Tortellini Paesano, which was thankfully smaller than the Sunday plate - I only got to take some home for lunch. The french bread was fresh, the salad and soup were good, and the tomato and mozzarella appetizer (which is part of the reason why we couldn't finish dinner, okay what I couldn't finish dinner) were pretty darn good. I like authentic Italian, the problem is that it is hard to find. It was nice to find this place - we'll be back. One quirk - we were there and the tables were all full (reservations are suggested by me if you want a seat!) so we sat at the bar. Since we had some idea of what we wanted, we ordered wine at the bar, and then had to cash out that ticket. Most places would just jump it to the table. Odd, but who cares for food this good. read more

Had lunch with a business associate. Both of us first time visits to restaurant, but had heard & read good things. The 1st floor dining area is small and cozy, but you don't feel cramped. A bistro look & feel. We started with a seafood appetizer of grilled Calamari, Octopus and Jumbo Shrimp on a bed of greens & Balsamic Vinegarette. Taste was OK, but it was certainly overpriced for what was served. My associate, who happens to be Italian & from New York, ordered the Meat Lasagna which he stated was maybe the best Lasagna he had ever had. Thats a bold statement from a highly qualified Italian food connoisseur. I had the Rigatoni Arribiata. Rigatoni noodles with a (perfect) spicy Red Sauce and Prosciutto. Outstanding dish and one I highly recommend to people who like spice. Just the perfect amount of heat. Looking forward to the next visit...soon. read more

Love this place! Not many restaurants today that you can get dressed up and feel like your out. The atmosphere is Amazing. Owner always present see's every dish that goes out. You feel special the minute you arrive. Servers are professional and knowledgeable of every dish. Treat yourself to a wonderful experience! read more

Its ok, I would not rave or tell anyone to eat at this Capri Restaurant. They are not the same. The Capri in Burr Ridge is the best. the drinks are ok, but I did not order a second. The food is warm, bread is cold. This Menu is not extensive compared to others. read more

Happy to dine here any time - if you like fish, the Baccala 'al Italiana is not to be missed, my husband LOVES the veal Parmesan and our teenager is hooked on their chicken Parmesan and Tiramisu. Definitely recommend reservations read more
