Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily.

We had a wonderful dinner and a very lovely romantic setting. The restaurant has beautiful old world charm, and details with exposed brick and the beautiful old bar, the iron staircase and the cellar. We all enjoyed our food, and the wine selection was very nice. My seafood risotto was loaded with seafood and my husband’s veal shank was big and very flavorful. And I’m glad we each saved room for dessert. The only downside was there were no specials. And I regret not getting an appetizer because there was no bread or salad. We just waited for our entrées.

I recently visited Capri and was impressed by the entire experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy feel. The staff greeted us with a smile and were incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The service was impeccable; our waitress was knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations. The attention to detail in both the food and the overall dining experience is truly commendable.I highly recommend Capri to anyone looking for a fantastic meal. Whether it’s for a casual dinner or a special occasion, this place will definitely exceed your expectations!
