    We went for a business dinner and ate on the patio. The table was wobbly and the chairs were wet from the rain. My suit got drenched when I sat down. We had to call the waiter several times to get service. Service was slow. Food was okay but too pricey

    We have been going to Capri for several years but it had been several months since we dined there. It was humming the night we went. We ordered the eggplant but I was disappointed as I felt it was not as good as in the past and it was a bit bitter. Service was perfectly fine. I will not strike it from my list but I think I would put it in the category of "ok and reasonably priced but there are other places where the Italian food is better".

    Worst meal I have had in years. Filet mignon (nightly special) was cooked beyond well done, when I asked for it to be medium rare. Pasta was undercooked and vegetables had metallic flavor to them. My bottle of chianti was acceptable and priced reasonably. I'm not overly critical of restaurants in general, but this wasn't merely kind of bad, it was horrible.

    I have been a fan of this restaurant for sometime, this time, however, things were "different." I was surprised to get a side of scalloped potatoes with my Chicken Scallopini vs a small portion of pasta. The food was good, but I left feeling that I missed a true Italian dining experience.

    We love coming to Little Italy when in New York and Capri is quintessential Little Italy. Perfect weather to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere. I had diet problems that needed special attention and they were perfectly gracious about it all. Go, enjoy!

    This was a pre-theater dinner. Interestingly, we were seated at a temporary, folding chairs table, even though all regular tables were available. Dining in a long gown was fairly uncomfortable. Later, people in shorts were being seated at regular tables.

    We were here for a large group party that took over the entire restaurant. They did an excellent job handling the crowd. Or food was delicious and served hot. The homemade pastas are excellent. The servers and staff are genuinely friendly and were happy to have the crowd.

    Every time the door opened, it was freezing inside the restaurant and it also slammed every time. Place was almost empty. Wine tasted like it had been around too long. Food was good, but there was no ambiance.

    Even though my reservation was confirmed w/Open Table, when I got to the restaurant, the door was locked! I called the restaurant and they said they were closed for the evening. I did mention I had a reservation. Very frustrating. However, we walked across the street to Angelos and had a fabulous meal! I’d say it worked out for my party in the end.

    I think my expectations were too high. Given what Little Italy has become, I should have known what I was getting--but the photographs on the website were VERY deceptive. I thought that perhaps it was the last bastion of old Little Italy. Well, it wasn't. We went on a Saturday night, fortunately with a reservation, because the place was packed with long waits for tables. They were so overwhelmed by the crowds that they actually served our water in plastic cups. My husband tried to order a cocktail, and the waiter told him it would be at least 30 minutes because the bar was too swamped. I still can't figure out why they weren't better prepared for those kinds of crowds. The food was so-so. My husband's seafood mix was good, but my pizza came out cold. It was bad enough that I sent it back for a new one. It's a good place for tourists, I suppose, who want to think they're getting the Little Italy experience. No local ever needs to bother.

    Service was terrible. Took 15 minutes for server to bring drinks (and he forgot a coffee that we ordered, never brought it). Food was mediocre at best, we got spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parm (2 dishes that we thought would be go to options in Little Italy). On top of all of this, they charged 17% gratuity on a party of 2. I'm a 20% tipper for a good waiter, but this guy would have gotten 15% due to his poor service... instead he put it on the bill because he knew he'd done a bad job. There are so many great options for food in New York, go elsewhere.

    It was pretty expensive for what was a distinctly average Italian meal. Our waiter was smiley and courteous when you could get his attention but he always seemed to be elsewhere and it wasn't really very busy - he got visibly irritated when, after waiting for some time, I had to wave at him to attract his attention. The decor and ambience is nice but they somehow managed to make what could have been a nice fresh simple pasta pretty tasteless.

    Although we had a little trouble finding the place, accidently sitting in capri for 20 min b4 we realized the producer table was down stairs. We had a fantastic time at producer table. The downstairs had an early 90's Italian theme, and we really enjoyed the live music. Food was great (4/5) if possible joselito, he's hilarious . If I had to nit pick, I would say it could be a little top loud sometimes, but the authentic Italian atmosphere definitely makes up for it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    It is a marvelous/beautiful restaurant. We sat inside because we wanted to talk, which we were able to do. We did not even notice the music while we were eating, etc. (The music seemed to get too loud to talk by the time we left--after 9 or so. I don't know why. So I was glad we were leaving because would not have been able to converse with the volume at that level.) Great food, service, and ambience. We are New Yorkers, not tourists. Highly recommended!!!!!
