My partner and I really enjoyed Capri at Italy the Valentine experience. Although we did have to waited 35min for our reservation, the food and drinks were worth it. My partner absolutely loved the the freshness of the oysters with salmon roe on it. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection! One of the best espresso martinis in LA! The only downside was the wait time due to the kitchen being behind and our waiter wasn’t as attentive.
