Atter an indulgent day unwinding at the Kohler Spa (if you know, you know), Capri is the quintessential spot to get your Italian fix. As always, the ambiance is warm and inviting, with a cozy vibe that practically whispers tales of old-time gangster meetings--pure nostalgia in the air.
As always we opted to sit at the bar, where the service was attentive and the energy laid-back yet sophisticated. Our drink of choice? A slightly dirty martini with Belvedere vodka--smooth, chilled to perfection, and an ideal start to the evening. For an appetizer, I went with the calamari drizzled in olive oil and pepper. Kiss my teeth, it was heavenly--lightly crispy, perfectly seasoned, and bursting with flavor.
This time we decided to order entrées to go. We chose the eggplant lasagna and chicken Vesuvio, both of which traveled well. Once home, I warmed them up and was greeted by rich, authentic flavors that reminded me why Capri is such a gem. The eggplant lasagna was layered with perfection, and the chicken Vesuvio was tender and aromatic with those classic Italian herbs.
Capri also boasts a lounge next door for those looking to continue the evening. Be prepared, though--this isn't a spot for the young and trendy crowd. It's a classy, older crowd where you can enjoy some dancing without the chaos of a nightclub.
Capri Burr Ridge is the place to be for timeless Italian cuisine, excellent service, and a touch of vintage charm. Whether you're dining in or taking your meal to-go, it never disappoints.
Give this spot a try and let me know what you think think.
