Capri

WOW WOW WOW. My friend came here last week and when she posted a photo I thought she literally went to Capri! Then saw was just right here in Philly! I immediately knew I had to come check it out. The service was excellent - Ola is so sweet. We got grilled calamari and it was absolutely exquisite. I have to say the risotto was out of this world and by far the best I have ever had. Have already told all my friends they have to come and I am already planning my next trip. THANK YOU MY HEART AND BELLY ARE IN CAPRI 🍋💙

Finally got around to trying Capri! My friend and I came for happy hour and had a good experience. To drink, we got the espresso martini and paloma. I can’t recommend the espresso martini enough! Creamy and not overly sweet. The paloma was also delicious. Both were $10, a steal. For food, we got the grilled shrimp, fries, calamari and gnocchi. All were average, nothing stood out. I will say that 3 shrimp for $10 on a happy hour menu felt a bit steep. The price for the other portions felt fair though. Service was quick and attentive, and atmosphere was nice. I’m not sure I would come back since the food didn’t stand out, but I did have a good experience!

Capri delivered an unforgettable Italian dining experience! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, from rich, velvety pasta to perfectly cooked seafood. The sauces were bold yet balanced, and the homemade butter was delicious with the bread! The details of the place inside are absolutely stunning as well! On top of the incredible food, the service was amazing! Our server, who was also handling the bar, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient—never missing a beat. Their energy and dedication made the night even better. Capri is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!

This place is a gem! Excellent Happy hour menu and their espresso martini * Chef Kiss *. Nicole, the bartender definitely knows what she’s doing. Parking wasn’t an issue and the atmosphere it’s fresh, welcoming and modern. Definitely will be back soon 100/10

When i strolled into Capri after an afternoon on south street, I had a feeling I was going to fall in love with it. The space was warm and inviting, the music created the perfect atmosphere, and the staff greeted me with such genuine friendliness. While I waited for my friend to arrive, I grabbed a seat at the bar to explore their drink menu. I spotted passionfruit liqueur and asked the bartender if she could whip up a Porn Star Martini—she didn’t hesitate and absolutely delivered. Once my friend arrived, we were seated immediately by the windows, right next to a live violinist! It added such a beautiful, elegant touch to the whole experience. We started with a bottle of Ethero wine, and wow—what a way to kick things off! It paired perfectly with our entrées later on too. For starters we had the calamari, which was super crunchy with just the right amount of salt. The only small downside of the night was the wait for our entrées—it took a little over 40 minutes. But we made the most of it by heading upstairs for a mini photo shoot! The upstairs area felt more private and even had restrooms—definitely seems like it could be reserved for events. When we came back downstairs, the atmosphere was still lovely and relaxing. I ordered the lobster ravioli, and it was phenomenal—the lobster tasted fresh, and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy. My friend had the linguine diavolo (I think!), and she loved it too. We ended with the crème brûlée, which we demolished. It was that good! All in all, I found the prices to be very fair given the quality and ambiance of the restaurant. I can’t wait to return, especially to check out their happy hour. Highly recommend this place for a date night or a cozy night out with friends!

Finally, I met my friends at Capri! Upon a arrival we easily found parking at the adjacent FREE parking lot...Score! The outside of the restaurant was inviting with the vibrant colors of the Med. The staff was inviting and super friendly as we entered the building. I loved the decor in the interior! Classy, chic, with notes of the Mediterranean. We started out at the bar for a pre dinner cocktail. Really enjoyed the Front Street Spritz, an amazing mixture of flavors. Once at the table the service was fluid and the server, Queen B, was professional and attentive. We loved the appetizers. The Burrata was to die for! Our dinner highlights was the OMG out of this world Gnocchi in the gorgonzola sauce and the highly flavored Branzino. We had a party of 8 and the food came out in just the right amount of time to enjoy the conversation as you enjoyed each course, not too soon or not too late. I cannot wait to invite a different group of friends to go back to Capri!

I had the most delightful Mediterranean pancake at Capri, and I can honestly say it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. The pancake was perfectly cooked—light, fluffy, and infused with those subtle Mediterranean flavors like olive oil, herbs, and just a touch of lemon zest. It was both savory and refreshing, unlike anything I’ve tasted before. The setting made it even better. Capri has the best outdoor seating I’ve ever seen. The ambiance was relaxing, the decor charming, and the view just added to the magic of the meal. Eating under the open sky with that breeze? Absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something unique and delicious in a stunning atmosphere. Capri nailed

Food was amazing, my drinks were spectacular & my service 10/10!!! They are so attentive, constantly checking in and clearing off the table. My server was funny and made me chuckle a few times. Just overall a must try I would go back just for the risotto.

Wow. Every one of our orders was messed up. So absurd it got funny. Wrong dishes brought to us. Long delays. And then no discount on our bill in consideration. The food was mostly good. But when my husband's ravioli finally came there were only three for $27 . Which means $9 per little pasta pocket of cheese . I can't say we'll be going back .

Pretty place, loved their decor colors. We had a reservation that was made online with their website and they did not have it. No biggie on a Saturday night, they prepared a table for us in less than 30 minutes. I only mention it because you may be better off calling for a reservation. We ordered 2 apps, calamari and burrata, and they sent over complimentary mussels. Very nice touch! The mussels were delish! All apps were very good. Someone in our party ordered a drink the bartender was not familiar with and the person who ordered said it's fine, no worries. Well they were sure going to figure out how to make it! And they did! In fact they were super pleasant about it and a little entertained! They couldn't have been nicer. They really made our night fun! Dinner was enjoyed by everyone. The branzino was especially excellent. We would return. Truly a pleasant experience.

As someone who works in the restaurant industry myself, it really upsets me to have to write this. I came here with my friend to celebrate her birthday, and we were hoping for a good experience but what we got was the complete opposite. The food was average, which we honestly didn't mind. What was truly upsetting was the service. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet we somehow received some of the worst service I've ever experienced. Our server, Beatrice, never once checked in on us not to ask how the food was, not to see if we needed anything. She completely ignored us until it was time to drop the check, which she auto gratted at 20% without any explanation. To make matters worse, we noticed that other tables around us were being given birthday candles or desserts, and we didn't receive anything, even though we clearly mentioned it was a birthday celebration in the reservation. We asked to speak to a manager, and they told us there wasn't one available. Like, what kind of restaurant doesn't have a manager on duty? We were seriously confused. Then the server, visibly upset, grabbed the check and stormed off to remove the auto grat still no apology, no explanation, nothing. The entire time, all we were hoping for was a simple, Hey, I'm so sorry, we're short-staffed today or just some acknowledgment and accountability. Instead, we were left feeling ignored and disrespected. Honestly, it was really disappointing. Mind you, there was probably 1 large group in the whole restaurant and 5 small table. AND she had helpers lol. Anyways, I just find it funny she just didn't give a shit about our concern. I hope she fixes her attitude or just let your manager know (if they are on duty lol) to staff more people.

Was so excited to try this new restaurant! Unfortunately very disappointed all around. We had a 730 reservation, and were not seated until after 8, with no apology or explanation. We quickly ordered drinks and an appetizer. The appetizer came many minutes before the drinks, and far too quickly for it to be fresh. The octopus was fishy and chewy. The lavender mocktail was way too sweet. The tomato martini was not good, but they replaced for a regular martini. Entree time. It came out within 5 minutes. No way it was fresh. It was lacking in flavor, warmth, and was bland. We had the gnocchi, chicken parm and penne a la vodka. Blah. For dessert, we had the "gelato". It was 100 percent breyers ice cream. When we asked where it was sourced, we got different answers every time. The staff was lacking knowledge and overall unapologetic. Would not recommend.

Overpriced, Underwhelming, and Nearly Empty I cannot for the life of me understand the glowing reviews for this place. Either they were written by the owner's extended family or people have truly lost their sense of taste. The food? Mediocre at best. The prices? Insane. And shockingly, none of this was surprising because the restaurant was practically empty. If you're in the market for overpriced, uninspired Italian food served in a ghost town of a dining room, congratulations--you've found your spot! The pasta was forgettable, the sauce tasted like it came from a jar, and the salads made me wonder if they were rationing ingredients. The one bright spot? Our server Bea. She was an absolute sweetheart--attentive, kind, and just delightful. Which, ironically, made the meal even worse because it felt like a crime to complain to someone so lovely. She deserves better than this place. Honestly, we all do. If you enjoy throwing money away on lackluster food, I highly recommend it. Otherwise, save yourself the disappointment.

Very very upset. Came 15 min early for our reservation and was told there's no tables to seat us outside nor any coming available for 2. We had reserved an outside table. Best they could do was inside. There were empty tables outside and could have seated us and instead was told that was reserved for other people. That's not how you treat someone who has dined here before and made a reservation for outdoors. Very least you could say well comp you a drink since we can't honor your request but that wasn't even presented as an option so we left.

The service was so so terrible. Had a 7:30 reservation- wasn't seated until 7:45. that's fine got a drink at the bar! when we were finally seated, we weren't given the full menu- it took 15 min for our waiter to come by and we asked for the rest of the menus. host came back 15 minutes after that with the menus. the waiter came at 8:30 to get our initial order. we ended up leaving without ordering... was really disappointed. they're obviously understaffed and unorganized.

Overpriced and outdated menu with underwhelming taste and poor service. This place looks pretty, but there's a reason it's empty most days. Real shame, especially after the two previous exceptional restaurants in this spot. They also run Casa Nostra a few doors down with the same menu. Also empty most of the time.

Only came here for cocktails but the service was fantastic and the drinks were delicious. The ambiance is the real show here, it's one of the most beautiful restaurants I've seen. Perfect for a girls night or a date night. I would love to come back to try their food, it smelled wonderful. Their neighboring sister restaurant casa nostra has great good so I imagine it's just as good.

Capri is a beautiful space! Blue, white, yellow decor with an upstairs, downstairs, and outside seating areas. I went for brunch but I want to try pasta during my next visit, Yes! Next visit - I can't wait to visit capri wearing a sundress during the summer with girlfriends! Today I ordered pancakes, coffee, and a Mimosa and everything was good.

Okay, new restaurant who this ?! Well I needed to check out this spot and although we can all use some warmth in our lives during this brutal cold Philly cold, Capri's debut has fallen short for me. Here is why. The place itself is Gorgeous! The vibes are immaculately and even the cutlery high class. Menu is modern Italian with specials. The service however leaves a lot of lacking. Don't get me wrong the bus boys are amazing , but the servers who put in orders are lost and unfortunately not as attentive. I mean to wait 15 mins to put in an order for drinks is kind of a stretch. And then the appetizer arrives before the drinks. Any way from the food the risotto with shrimp was phenomenal, so was the chocolates hazelnut cake. All in all I will be back but I hope service does a better job. I mean our person couldn't remember the specials and made uninformed suggestions.

My girlfriend was ecstatic that Capri had just opened, as she had been showing me tiktoks of it all week. We came for a pre-dinner drink to see if it passed the vibe check, and boy did it. We got a seat at two of the yellow bar stools and immediately ordered drinks. They had just got their liquor license only a few days before, so they were still working out all the kinks but we started chopping it up with the bartenders. I learned why they made their Negroni with Italicus instead of Campari and why there is a curry leaf at the bottom of it. Great people in here, and even better attention to detail. It was hella early, so was just us and 2 Albanian dudes at the bar who were cranking away at their laptops while sipping some martinis. One of them got a pasta dish that looked delectable. He 100% saw me breaking my neck and eyeing it up, as he came over and said it was a house special and put 1/4 of it on a plate for my gf and I to split. Next level hospitality, literally taking food off their plate and giving it to us... and those seared scallops were to die for. Turns out they are 2 of 6 Albanian cousins who own/operate this place, inspirational really. Family business. We were having such a blast and the vibes were so up that we ordered the caesar salad and a dozen oysters, both of which slapped... but the real MVP was this bread. It was warm and fresh, and came with a thyme butter that I would have just eaten by the scoop if I wasn't so civilized. There are levels to the bread & butter game, and Capri's is at the top. We ended up probably eating a pound of it as it was so damn fresh. Capri is the perfect intersection of being a trendy/instagramable place while also serving up bomb food and ode drinks. We will be back for dinner soon, believe that!! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Food was not bad but service was terrible. My friends and I came for a birthday celebration which we wrote in our reservation. We saw 4 other birthdays with candles and my friends didn't get any when we ordered dessert. Then we were hit with a 20% auto gratuity for a party of 5 which I don't think they deserve since they didn't check up on us. We talked to our waitress Beatrice about how we felt and she only defended herself saying we didn't tell her about the birthday and it's their restaurant policy for the 20% gratuity. We were left speechless for no apology and she just stormed off to take the grad off. I hope everyone read all the reviews and reconsider coming here.

Came here for dinner and the vibes were immaculate. It felt like we were in Italy. Its a restaurant good for the vibes. Their mascarpone salad was delicious! The pasta entrees were a bit on the expensive side. But i Definitely will be coming back for brunch.

Above average as far as the city's Albanian restaurants go. Service and atmosphere were great. Drinks were just ok.

Very solid restaurant from food, service and space. Penne Vodka was my favorite bite.

Went for dinner on Sunday evening (party of 2). As we walked in there was a violinist playing which beautifully set the tone. The wait staff was very attentive & the food was delicious.

This new edition to Queens Village is such a charming little place. Everyone is super friendly and great service. I've had the brunch dinner, happy hour, and everything is amazing. Family run and they show a lot of pride. Super happy to have this in our neighborhood. Highly recommend!

We were visiting as a last stop before our flight and the ambiance of this restaurant blew our minds. The waitress was so knowledgeable and her recommendations were delicious. These are some of the best espresso martinis I ever had. You HAVE to try a dozen of the fresh oysters and please order hot sauce on the side bc if y'all haven't y'all are missing out! Highly recommend.

Food... service... ambiance... 10/10. Would recommend this place to all my loved ones. Delicious food.

OK, so first I want to say the customer service was impeccable. The ambience in there is beautiful. I will definitely be going back. So my parents got the lamb and they did not really like it because the mashed potatoes came out cold. We also originally got the calamari that was grilled in. It tasted uncooked. It was not good so we ended up getting the fried calamari, but it was not seasoned. The pasta dishes were pretty good. The fish was pretty good as well and the crème brûlée was OK. I will definitely give them another try I will say their food was about three stars in the overall experience was five stars so that's why I have to give them a four star rating.

AVOID this restaurant at all costs. This was easily the worst dining experience I've ever had the displeasure of being a part of. The waiter was attentive and doing his best but this place was clearly overwhelmed and very poorly managed. The first round of drinks took close to 30-45 mins to come out, then the appetizers took another 10-15 minutes after that. We figured things would be fine after we got the appetizers but then the primi dish did not come out until over an hour after ordering. At one point, the waiter, after apologizing multiple times for delays, said "at this point, I'm not sure what else to say." Our reservation was 7:45p and by 9:15p we gave up on ever receiving our entrees and asked to pay our bill so we could leave and order something from somewhere else. The waiter asked us to wait longer so he could talk to the manager but with it approaching 9:30, we asked if we could just pay for what we got. We then proceeded to be charged the full dinner that we didn't receive! I felt bad for the waiter who was genuinely trying so I still tipped him 20% and the bill for the worst dining experience I've ever had, ended up costing me $180.00 DURING RESTAURANT WEEK. If you want to pay a premium for a restaurant that is barely able to function the most basic aspects of being a restaurant, then I would recommend here. Otherwise, go somewhere else so you can actually enjoy your night off.

We really enjoyed our meal here! Very happy with all of our selections: Pasta Bolognese, Lobster Ravioli, and Gnocci with rose sauce. We also got the calamari as an appetizer. We loved the look of the restaurant as well, it didn't feel like we were in Philadelphia! Will definitely be going back.

Good drinks and food. Ambiance was nice. We came in around 4pm and we were one of the first ones and service was great! The desserts were really good. Tiramisu was homemade and gelato chocolate ice cream was great as well. The salmon I got was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Only thing my husband's gnocchi portion was small and had only 3 shrimps. His Negroni drink was very unique. I definitely will go back and would love to try the brunch menu.

I was shocked because this place is new and in a residential part of the city but it was PACKED, with people waiting at the bar for the table and then people waiting outside to wait for the bar to wait for a table by the time we left. The place itself is cute and very nicely decorated. It feels like a unique space in Philly. The service was nice but slow. The reason I gave three stars was that I was not impressed with the food. The portion sizes were small and the prices were high. Overall, low value in my opinion. We got the calamari to start and we both thought it was under seasoned albeit cooked well. The Caesar salad was fine but it was a very small portion - we told the waitress we were splitting it and I thought what she brought was a half portion! My partner got the lobster ravioli and I got the gnocchi with crab meat in a rose sauce. Both were fine, but I preferred mine. Nothing to get excited over. Perhaps things will change as this place finds its groove!

The staff was so friendly! The gnocchi, lamb chops, Cannoli and crème brulé were excellent. Capri has been beautifully renovated! they kept the amazing original bar which is where we had our dinner. This will be our go to place for dinner, drinks and apps. They also have an upstairs dining area which I was told can be used as a small private dinner party.

I came here for the first time after work today and it was wonderful, the owner Ari was so kind and talked to me and made me feel welcomed and the bartender Nicole did a phenomenal job at bartending and making sure I had everything I needed. The whisky Sour I had was very good, the best I've had so far in my young life. I ordered Calamari and it was very good. When I come back I want to try the unique dishes they have which seem to draw from Italian,Albanian and Greek culture giving you a taste of the Mediterranean. Highly recommend wonderful people, great drinks and even better food. Thanks Ari! Ill be sure to come back soon!

the good food could not make up for the horrible service. will not be returning. Our waitress was not attentive. We didn't get our drinks , or any drinks until After the appetizers were served. She added an automatic 20% tip that she didn't deserve

Great Mediterranean restaurant. The ambiance is very crisp with modern touches and very relaxing. The servers were very pleasant and hospitable. The food was rich in Mediterranean flavors. We had a soup of the day which was freshly made, a burrata appetizer full of great quality EVOO. Our entree took me back to my grandmother's Sunday lunch. Great place to go with the family. Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is attentive but food is just meh. The Caesar salad was just wimpy and small. The octopus also lacked seasoning . The chicken capri also was lackluster. The shrimp and chicken were over cooked and the sauce was flat. My daughter had their pasta in marinara, that lacked flavor. Pasta was cooked maybe a minute too long.

I wanted to like this place since I live a 5 minute walk away but the service is atrocious. I had a 7:15 reservation last night, with out of town guests visiting, and we were not seated until 8:05!! Almost an hour later! Instead of comping us anything they gave us a "gift from the bar" which was about 4 OZ of some pomegranate drink that none of us wanted. I'm sorry but when you seat a reservation an hour late, that's not gonna cut it if you don't want to receive a bad review. On top of that the service was very slow even though the waitstaff was friendly. Will not be going back there and definitely wouldn't bring people from out of town again.

One of my favorite bolognese I have had in the city. The past was extremely fresh and the bolognese sauce was very authentic. The coastal vibe of Capri made for a great girls dinner! The calamari was also very delicious and fresh. We will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere. Cute place, good service. Cocktails were great. Food was good but not great. The lobster ravioli and chicken parm were pretty good. The crab cake and the chicken di capri were just okay. We enjoyed it anyway.

Beautiful location on Front Street in Queens Village with great views. Excellent and attentive service. Food is Mediterranean/Italian style and what I ordered was delicious; Salmon caprcaio, rack of lamb and excellent bar service.

Loved the servers! Everyone was so nice, warm, and accommodating. The food was good. I just didn't love the salmon and sour cream dish. I could leave it. Everything else was good. Ambiance was so cute, too.

I finally made it over to Capri with a friend. The place itself is absolutely gorgeous! The staff was also incredible and friendly. We sat and ate at the bar and got to chat quite a bit with the bartenders who again, were soooo nice and fun. We ordered a couple entrees and split them. The gnocchi with the Gorgonzola and the bolognese were both tasty and came in generous portions. I'll definitely be back. **They're also one of the few places in the area that are open on Mondays, fyi.**

Food was delicious!!! I had the Lobster Ravioli and my husband had the linguine and clams. Beatrice our server was AMAZING!!!!!!! They really did a wonderful job with the ambiance. So happy to have this new addition in our neighborhood. The owner was lovely... definitely will be putting Capri in our rotation. If we could give 10 stars we would!

We went to Capri for dinner this past weekend. Outstanding food, delicious drinks, generous wait staff and beautiful atmosphere. Overall a great experience, and we will definitely be back.

Great ambience, food, service all amazing. Will be back soon with family and friends.

Five stars not enough. Great service, great food and not loud! All the apps were awesome and the lobster ravioli with scallops was amazing. Anything you needed was bought instantly and the wait staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. Go here!!!

This the best Italian restaurant I have frequented in Philadelphia since the pandemic. The food, service and ambiance were all fantastic! Homemade pastas, seafood, lamb and desert were all so delicious and well plated! Definitely coming back to try some of the other dishes!

Ate here twice Saturday & Wednesday & the place is worth it. Had the seafood linguine, vodka pasta, braised short rib, & assortment of antipasto. The ambiance & food, combined with the crooner music .... Top notch

I genuinely do not know how this place has nearly 5 stars. Our server was so kind but she didn't come to our table for 30 minutes until we asked if we could order. The food....I don't know how you can mess up avocado toast byt they found a way. First they brought it out and forgot the avocado??? They took it back and brought the plate back with two giant scoops of sliced avocado on top of the very raw egg. It wasn't even sunny side up. The whites were so transparent it made me sick to look at. I tried to eat it but I was gagging it down. The avocado clearly was thawed from a freezer and was ICE cold on top of my luke warm raw egg. The bread was good at least lol. Also 16 dollars for toast on top of mixed greens is insane. Will never go back :( The environment is cute but the random decorations everywhere in what's supposed to be upscale-ish makes for a confusing vibe of what they're going for.
