Is there some unknown dress code? By no means did we look homeless but Post Disney and receptionist very clearly looked my wife up and down. Went back and said it'll be an hour due to reservations Restaurant was not busy. No one else was checking in. Af least 10 open tables. Food could be great Front door staff very rude and won't be back. Important to not judge a book by its cover. Especially fellow Italian! read more

Very unexpected gem in a plaza like center. The food was exceptional and the service was even better. I was there for a wedding rehearsal dinner and Antonio was so kind, knowledgeable and flexible with an unexpected food allergy at the table. Antonio and chef were able to get gluten free, mushroom free appetizer, main and dessert without an issue! Thank you Antonio. read more

We went here in March 2025 for the kid's birthday and she enjoyed the pasta with marinara sauce. Thus, in March 2026 when we were back in the area she wanted to eat pasta again so we returned to this restaurant. They have a wonderful patio so we sat outside and the weather was perfect. Our server Martina was pleasant and professional throughout the meal. Service was excellent throughout the meal. The kid had the spaghetti with meatballs and really enjoyed the spaghetti. The sauce is light and not acidic. She ate it all. The wife had the meatballs and said they were light and not dense. I had a pizza this time, the Gennaro, and it was excellent. The crust was light and perfectly charred on the bottom. The combination of sweet sausage and spicy peppers go together very well. The beer selection is not large but the IPA on tap, called Cigar City, was an excellent pairing with the spicy pizza. They brought a little birthday dessert for the kid at the end and sang happy birthday, which was a nice touch and made her happy, Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. Food, service, and ambience were excellent. If we are in the area again, we surely will return, read more

This was the most authentic Italian experience I can recall having in the US. Antonio made us feel like we were his only table, and provided great recommendations. The food was so good, seasoned without a heavy hand - as it should allow the flavors of the main ingredients shine through. We cant wait to return with my daughter and her family. read more

Wow! This place is so great! We showed up without a reservation. It was busy but they still got us in pretty fast. The space is light & open, with classic decor. The food was outstanding & felt truly Italian. The staff were all proudly Italian & I could hear all of them talking to each other in their primary language, which was fun! The prices were very reasonable, and the servers were interacted with were fast & kind. The drinks are inventive & overall everything is interesting. I'd love to go back! read more

This was our second visit to Simply Capri. Both experiences have been extraordinary. The employees are all seemingly Italian (or at least all of the ones we encountered were), welcoming, and friendly, and the food tastes so amazing and authentic. I also love both the indoor and outdoor atmosphere and décor. The restaurant is so clean and modern-looking. They've done an exceptional job of making this restaurant in the middle of a parking lot not feel like you're in the middle of a parking lot. Fresh sliced focaccia bread with a splash of olive oil on it is brought to the table, but we also wanted a calamari appetizer to start. However, we were uncertain about the only option they had, which included calamari, shrimp, fish, zucchini, and carrots. We ordered it anyway and were not disappointed. It's mostly lightly fried calamari with a sprinkle of the other items lightly fried. It was all so delicious. The calamari was perfectly cooked and not chewy. We also debated about sharing a pizza to start instead of the calamari, but that may have been too much. We'll have to go back just for pizza in the future. Some tables had it and they looked amazing -- like pizzas from Via Napoli at Epcot. Although I had it on my first visit, it was so amazing I had to order it again for my entree on my second visit. It was the Gnocchi con Salsiccia -- gnocchi with crumbled sausage, chopped broccolini, and garlic simmered in a wine sauce. It's incredibly flavorful, and because everything is chopped up into bite-sized pieces, each forkful is perfect because it contains a little bit of everything all at once. Everything was amazing and we look forward to more visits to Simply Capri, whether it's for entrees, one of their three-course meals on holidays or Sunday Supper, pizzas, or a collection of appetizers. Salute! read more

Absolutely adore Simply Capri and their Italian coastal decor! My family dined at Simply Capri for Father's Day. It was packed, but service was pretty attentive and not too slow. Now on to the food... Delish! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Seasoned perfectly and really great texture. My favorite was of course the dessert. I'm a sucker for anything with pistachio and ice cream. My parents have even gone back without me and raved about their meals. read more

The restaurant is located in a small shopping center and has a nicely lit patio area outside as you approach. We were greeted immediately upon entering and offered outside seating due to interior being busy and not having reservations. Inside seating area wasn't large. Weather was nice and they did have heaters outside which made it perfect. We were pleasantly surprised that our waiter spoke Spanish, English and Italian. He was originally from Napoli. The restaurant was celebrating "carnivale" and had two menus available- we chose to order from the main menu and got the antipasto appetizer and calamari for the table. Both were delicious, the cheeses were so fresh and the meats were just enough for all of us to have a taste. My husband got the ny strip steak and his aunt got the chicken dish, mother in law got vegetable soup, our daughter got kids pasta which came with her own little mozzarella sticks appetizer. I chose a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Every dish was made well and portions were perfect. Not too much but enough that you were full but not stuffed. I think every plate but my daughters was clean by the end of the night. On top of all the food being excellent, service was exceptional and we had table side entertainment with a magician and music. It was quite a "carnivale" we were celebrating my mother in law's 70th birthday and when they found out they surprised her with a song and small pastry for the table to share. She had an excellent evening and was raving about the food even a day later. Thank you to the team at Simply Capri for making her night extra special. read more

Another day, another stellar experience at Simply Capri! We've been coming here for over 2 years now, and it is just so consistently excellent. We love coming for Sunday supper because their chicken parm is my husband's absolute favorite, the cutlet is so thin and crispy, plus on Sunday there is a prix fixe menu so you get a starter and dessert with your meal. I had the rack of lamb which was to die for, perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth served with fresh green beans and potatoes in a sublime gravy. This restaurant is, and always will be our first pick for any occasion! read more

There's not much I can say regarding Simply Capri. I went during lunch (decided to start POURING when we arrived which I suspect is why it was mostly empty during our time there). Lovely service, the manager was very attentive and the wait staff was super nice. Simply Capri is simply very expensive for an average Italian restaurant. There's nothing that stands out about it even the gorgeous decor and seating doesn't elevate it to something upscale. Located in flamingo crossing area, it's interesting that they chose to make it so expensive as most of their clientele would be Disney college program kids. They did have gluten free pasta and even a gluten free bread option for me which is rare in America. So the bread was just GF toast that wasn't toasted so it tasted weird with the olive oil but hey! I got something. Unlike the rich artisanal bread my brother received. My brother's pizza wasn't gluten free. But he enjoyed it and said it was basic. My pasta unfortunately despite the gluten free option was not that good. The GF pasta was the cheap one that doesn't reheat well or even cook well. It tasted not fully cooked and rubbery at the same time. It couldn't be saved by the sauce or seafood I got with it. Overall, I find Simply Capri just okay but nothing to rave about or recommend (especially with their prices). read more

Let's start with the good. It has a great ambiance with an airy feel. Service was attentive. A great bar space as well as outdoor seating. We had the meatball appetizer, halibut and risotto, and tagliatelle alla boscaiola. Meatballs were fine. Came out quickly and were seasoned well. The focaccia that was paired with the meatballs was cold. It would've been better warmed up. The halibut and pasta took about 40 minutes to come after our appetizer. The timing was definitely off. The risotto that accompanied the halibut was good. Loved the fresh peas. But the halibut had a mushy texture in the middle and was just off tasting. The pasta was al dente, but the mushrooms were salty making it hard to eat. I do appreciate that the staff addressed these concerns and were courteous. But it seems like there are some details that need to be addressed in the kitchen and service timings. read more

We were vacationing in Orlando to go to the Magic Kingdom and decided to have dinner at the place that our hotel receptionist recommended. The food was fantastic. Authentic Italian cuisine and the service was top notch. The ambiance was lovely and the staff was super friendly. We ordered two espresso martinis to start. And then I had a glass of red wine with my halibut and he had a beer with his calzone. Didn't order dessert, but wished I did. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in that area. Two thumbs up. read more

We came here on a whim due to crazy traffic heading home. People were a bit more dressed up than we were with our work uniforms but we were still seated and treated nicely. We were seated on the patio right away. Although they did ask if we had a reservation which leads me to believe some days it may need one. We got some sparkling water straight from Italy to set the mood: they brought us some bread which was missing maybe some olive oil with oregano to dip into but it was still warm and good. They took our orders and within minutes our food arrived. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and my boyfriend got the gnocchi. We actually ended up switching meals when we tried them. The gnocchi were the absolute most delicious meal I have had in a very long time. Absolutely loved it. Once we finished we were offered desserts but the food was very filling. We will definitely go back in nicer attire lol it is a beautiful location. Would love to go try some wines and food. Once we were ready to pay our waiter had started helping other tables and sent another person to take our payment. We were in and out in about 40 mins. read more

Simply Capri has been on our list to try for quite awhile. It's a bit of a drive for us, located in the Flamingo Crossings Town Center close to Disney. Upon entering the restaurant, we really really impressed with the decor and and stunning outdoor patio that immediately transported you to the coast of Italy. It was a bit too warm to sit outside with our baby, so we got a table indoors. The staff was very accommodating with our stroller since my son was not quite ready for a high chair at that time. I decided to start with one of their many bar spritz options and went with the signature Capri Spritz (prosecco, Italicus bergamotto liqueur, lemon sour, and club soda) which was light & refreshing on a hot day. I would say their cocktail prices are average at $13-16. Looking at the food menu though, I was a bit surprised by how pricey it was. The menu primarily consists of pizza, pasta, and seafood. Most of the appetizers & salads are in the $17-24 range and entrees are $27-50. I guess that's what you can expect when you're close to the attractions/touristy part of town. We started with the Polpette Caprese (4 meatballs) and they were tasty. For our main dishes, my husband & I both wanted pasta. He ordered the Scialatielli Dei Faraglioni ($33) which is their seafood pasta dish with shrimp, clams, mussels, & calamari. I ordered the Gnocchi Con Salsiccia ($27) which is a potato pasta with mild sausage, white wine, broccolini, and garlic. When they brought out our entrees, they actually brought me the ravioli. I let them know that's not what I ordered. Maybe the server misheard me, but seemed to think maybe I was confused and emphasized the difference between ravioli and gnocchi (which I'm well aware of). I never order ravioli at a restaurant. While they were working on remaking my dish, I encouraged my husband to dig into his while it was hot. He said a lot of the seafood was chewy & gummy unfortunately. When they brought my dish out, you could tell they likely rushed it because the sauce was super watery as if it hadn't fully reduced. The texture of the gnocchi was good but overall lacked flavor. I ended up just boxing most of it up to take home. Now the star of the show for us was the dessert! We love anything pistachio and the Coppa Sorrentina is AMAZING. It has layers of pistachio gelato, pistachio cream, whip cream, toasted pistachios. Again, a bit pricey for a gelato dessert at $16, but it's definitely shareable and was a great way to end the meal on a sweet note. Our bill came out to about $130 which overall just didn't really feel worth it, but I would come back for drinks, dessert, and the beautiful patio vibes. read more

Love the food. Amazing wait staff. Never left there feeling I did not thoroughly enjoy the meal.

The food and service was on point. The restaurant is very nice too, and the patio suited us well as we had our yorkie with us. Great for a late night dinner option. The waitress, Francesca, interacted with us and made us feel welcomed instead of just taking an order. read more

We came in for my niece's 3rd birthday. Dinner was lovely. My husband ordered the branzino (delicious) and I ordered from the prefix menu. At the end of our dinner, the staff came out with a dessert with a candle on it for the birthday girl. She was so happy to blow the candle out and I was so happy with the way the strawberry tart tasted (we shared). This place is a hidden gem and I would recommend to anyone interested. read more

Absolute 5 star review! Visiting Orlando, close to hotel. Staff and food seems very authentic and SUPER good... Staff was AMAZING, loved the accent and she said all are from Italy. Business was accommodating with every aspect! Building itself, was modeled after the Italian Amalfi Coast and looked beautiful! Food was really good too...Started with Grilled octopus which was just ok as well as an assortment of breads, dripped with an amazing olive oil. Mains were amazing! Pics below. Both the Branzino and the dry aged steak were top notch! Will definitely eat here again on next visit in December. Thanks for the AMAZING visit! read more

I have been wanting to try Simply Capri for a while now. Today I was in the area and decided to have lunch. I ordered an appetizer and main course with water. The food is nothing to write home about even though they talk about genuine Italian cuisine. I didn't feel the food set them apart from any other "Italian" restaurant. Especially given the cost for a single diner. Service was nothing to rave about. I waited a while before a server came to take my order. I knew with the wait time to order every thing I wanted. Had my appetizer. Plate was cleared. Took quite a bit of time for the main course to appear. When the main was brought I was ask if I would like some more bread. I had not received bread service. Though the tables around me had. I said sure that would be nice. The bread was delicious and I'm glad I actually got to try some. The parking is quirky and on the back side of the restaurant. So every door you pass you can not enter. The decor was typical of any Italian restaurant. I feel for the price there are other Italian restaurants that are just as good, if not better. This will be a one and done for me. read more

Absolutely loved my birthday dinner here this past week. We made a reservation and we're seated right away. From what I can tell most of the staff, including the managers were Italian. And around me a few of the patrons spoke Italian so I figured that was a really good sign. My husband tried their version of a old-fashioned served, unfortunately served in a martini glass, but he said it tasted good. I enjoy their Italian sweet tea, which was perfectly balanced with sweet tea and orange flavor. My husband enjoyed the meatball appetizer that was served with for golf ball size meatballs with a delicious marinara and fresh mozzarella. I really enjoyed their fried calamari that also was served with fried scallops and shrimp. I enjoyed my seafood medley pasta. I had a nice tomato bay sauce with lots of shrimp, mussels, clams, squid. My husband really enjoyed his gnocchi with ground pork sausage. We had so much food that I barely could think about dessert. But I was surprised with a beautiful and delicious Lemon custard tart with berries on top . I highly recommend to come to this place. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant, with friendly staff. Having been graciously able to have visited Italy twice, we were transported back, and loved being able to dine "al fresco." Again, we absolutely loved the ambiance. We're afraid we felt the food, however, was overpriced and simply not great. Pasta dishes are around $25+. I feel we were also wanting a few more pasta varieties and entrees on the somewhat small menu. Similar to being in Italy, you will not find "Americanized" classics like a Chicken Marsala or Chicken Parmesan here, but even "simpler" dishes like linguini and clams, or cacio e pepe are not found. My boyfriend had the lasagna, and I had spaghetti and meatballs. The lasagna was not warm, but tasty. My spaghetti was very hot, yet the meatballs luke warm. The flavor was good, the staff friendly and attentive, but I'm afraid we were hoping for a bit more for the price. As a local, it was not the favorite local Italian restaurant we were hoping for, but would still give it 3 stars alone for the ambiance. I'd go back for cocktails or a glass of rose, but hope for a new menu in the future. read more

We love it here. This place never disappoints. Pizza is great, pasta is great and light, service is amazing and the spritz reminds us the ones we had in Italy. It's our Saturday go to when we can't decide what to eat read more

Recently my family and I decided to have lunch at Simply Capri. Some of my coworkers have dined here and have nothing but great things to say. Plus this is located 10 minutes from our home, so it was time. Simply Capri is an upscale Italian eatery serving wood-fired pies, housemade pasta, and other delicious dishes. When we arrived I noticed they have an hour door bar, that had tables for dining as well. The interior of the restaurant is stunning. The vibe is causal yet elegant at the same time. We were immediately greeted by the host and got seated in not more than 5 minutes. Our server Antonio came arrived at our table seemingly immediately. He was informative about the menu and gave us suggestions, I really appreciated how he took his time with us. He let us look over the menu for a few minutes and came back with waters and complementary Focaccia bread. ( the focaccia was light, warm, and delicious) My wife and Father-in-law decided to share a Margherita (San Marzano tomato, fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil) The pizza wasn't cooked all the way. Antonio was apologetic and remedied the situation immediately. They re-fired the pizza. When the pizza came back it was perfect. One of the best Margherita pizzas they've eaten. Along with the pizza, my wife ordered the Polpette capresi (House made meatballs, tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil) My wife absolutely loved the meatballs. She said they were moist and the tomato sauce made the dish. I ordered the Gnocchi con salsiccia(Potato pasta, mild sausage, white wine, brocolini, garlic) This was absolutely delicious...the white wine tied everything together. I loved the sauce and bitterness of the broccolini. Awesome dish. My sister-in-law ordered the Linguine alle vongole veraci (Sauteed clams, garlic, cherry tomatoes, parsley, olive oil) She was mostly silent during the meal, giving nods of approval. The plate was clean. My mother-in-law ordered the Scaloppine di pollo (Chicken breast pounded thin, white wine, lemon, butter, served with peperonata) She loved this dish a lot. She loved the lightness of the chicken and the acid. For dessert we all got double expresso and Delizia Al Limone (Limoncello sponge cake covered with lemon cream) light, not too sweet, delicious!. Our server Antonio also came with a Tiramisu(Ladyfinger, coffee, mascarpone cream) I was way too full to try it lol. He told us it was on the house because of the pizza not being made well. Also told us they took off the pizza from the bill. All in all this was a fantastic experience. Thank you to Antonio for being informative about the menu and all around attentive. Aces! read more

Stopped in as a 3 top for the first time on Friday for lunch. We were 2nd table seated and the place started to fill up. Great full menu and bar choices along with some specials. Beautiful inside or outside seating choices. Started with meatball and foccahia bread for appetizer. Settled on gnocchi, grilled chicken milanese and a Margherita pizza. Everything was hot, delicious and plentiful. Both Antonio and Josephine handled the lunch crowd with ease, checking in often and refills as needed. We saved some room and shared Tiramasu, Fogata (vanilla gelato with espresso) and coffee, also delicious. Looking forward to another meal. Enjoy! read more

We also ordered a bottle of still water. It is a bit pricey for pasta but the service was quick and the food was good. The 2 dishes and a $7 bottle of water, our total before tip was $65. read more

Simply Capri was simply amazing! The service was on point, always making sure my water was refilled. Also they made great wine recommendations based on my pickiness with wine. The gnocchi was Delectable, had the right amount of softness and tenderness. The Anacapri Pizza was delicious, the prosciutto tasted like it was Straight from Italy. I also really enjoyed the pistachio gelato dessert it had just the right amount of pistachio and not too sweet. read more

Phenomenal authentic Italian experience. The pizza tasted just like when I was in Italy. The service was excellent. Great vibe and ambiance.

If you want authentic Italian, go to Simply Capri in Flamingo Crossing off Western Way and 429. All the staff is actually from Italy and you'll feel like you're visiting the Almalfi Coast. The pizza oven was shipped in from Naples. If you enjoyed Tutto Italia, Tutto Gusto and Via Napoli at Epcot, you will love Simply Capri and you will see a lot of familiar faces. Buon appetito! read more

A Truly Heartwarming Italian Experience In a beautiful location with a lovely garden. Indoor bar is epic and a cute outdoor bar. You can enjoy your meal outside in to e fresh air surrounded by bougainvillea. Back again even after all the crazy government tariffs, the food is still the best! I have traveled all over Italy and my in-laws are Italian. We love Simply Capri. Every time I go with my family it is like short vacation. Yes the prices will go up because everything in America is getting more expensive but you are paying for authentic Italian cooking with love. Please do not arrive expecting Pizza Hut or Olive Garden level quality. If that is what you like you should go home and cook up a flavorless bowl of spaghetti. Uncultured taste buds might not be ready for this authentic experience. Customer service is above and beyond. The kindest people you will meet, thoughtful, attentive, and so welcoming. They treated us with such care and patience, into a truly memorable evening. If you are looking for a place where the food and the people are even better, this is the spot! read more
