Cinquecento

Such a wonderful and hidden little gem of Boston. You don't need to be in the North End to get some great Italian. Atmosphere and service is wonderful. You can sit inside outside and they have private functions. Staff is highly competent with impeccable service. Great flavors and great options.

This is an average place for brunch. The decor keeps you intrigued and adds to the cozy feel of the place. The brunch menu is kind of limited if you’re like me and don’t eat pork. I had been expecting the prixe fixe menu but it wasn’t available when I visited. The donuts are a great addition to wrapping up the meal. I recommend this place if you have a large party and want to host a private event. They have multiple rooms and a statement staircase.

Went there for fathers day and the place was pretty busy but the service was fast and efficient! They had a pre fixed menu as a a special that had 3 different brunch items & came with juice as well as coffee. The tiramisu French toast and the eggs were made to perfection. Definitely a good place to try. Also the parking lot next to them is where you can find ample parking and can get free parking for 5 hours if you get your ticket validated from the restaurant!

The outdoor patio is great in the warm months. And there is a nice bar. But the dining room can get very loud on a busy night (acoustics aren't so great). The food is pricy, but inline with the upscale restaurants in the area. The food is always good, I love the mushroom soup.

Right next to SoWa district, well designed and have a nice atmosphere. Great place for drinks too. Love the Panna Cotta.

Busy place with a dimmly lit, industrial feel. Service was slow. Took us forever to get our food order in but the food was ready rather quickly. I ordered the Linguine Con Vongole. The plate was unbalanced and overly salted. It really wasn't pleasant. This is my second time giving this place a try as I was impressed with their brunch either. Try the North end!

I have been here for drinks and have gotten one app. But it was good enough to make me one to come back! We got the burrata and the bread that came with it was so yummy so naturally I was sad there were only two pieces. As far as atmosphere goes, the staff is friendly and the restaurant itself is a little on the darker side but it makes sense when you look around at their decorations. They created columns with bottles lined up and those are lighted up, I'm probably doing a terrible job describing it. It's really cool so you'll have to come see it yourself. Overall great experience and it's pretty close to where I work, so this may become a regular sport.

It's a delightful place, with great tapas and a graceful host. Perfect place to meet with friends. Great for small events, intimate and just dangerous enough.

obsessed. Ambiance Food Service They OFFER HALF PORTIONS OF THE PASTA!!! We split 7 half orders between 4 people, plus a salad and two apps. our server was hilarious and really helpful as we were being indecisive haha. The drinks were fire too - I loved the rum cantalope one! basically a fancy mojito. My top three pasta: RIGATONI ALLA VODKA, TORTELLINI DI MAIS, FUSILLI ALLA LIMONE. The others were good too but these were the standouts. handmade fresh pasta makes all the difference. The Snap Pea salad and Honey Buns were also insanely good. Go here, if you can get a reservation. I recommend showing up in person the day you want to go and just ask, if you don't see anything online. I will be back!!

I was so excited to try Capri as I'm a big fan of the groups other restaurants. Capri has such a beautiful interior- the space feels warm and stylish, and it really sets the tone for a nice night out. It reminds me a lot of Prima in Charlestown. The food, though, was a miss for me. The chicken piccata was unfortunately very salty, and the sauce leaned more oily than I'd like. The honey buns with ricotta were SO good and had great texture, but again, the salt overpowered what could've been a perfect balance. The Caesar salad was fresh and enjoyable, but I wished it had more anchovy or seasoning to really bring out that bold Caesar flavor. The service was alittle weird to be honest. We wanted to order 2 appetizers before the last person in our party arrived and the server kind of gave us a hard time about not ordering the whole meal at the same time. Multiple times we were in the middle of eating something and a busser or server asked if they could clear. Like our salad was only half done and the server was trying to take away our appetizer plates, utensils, and the remaining half of the salad. Again, when we were eating the entrees multiple people asked if they could take our plates that still were full of food and we had our forks in our hands. Everyone was nice but it felt like they wanted to rush us out. Overall, the atmosphere is gorgeous and the menu has great potential--just a lighter hand with the salt could make the experience match the setting. I can see how the service is trying to be attentive and higher end but maybe taking alittle bit of time to let tables eat and talk would be better.

I'm shocked at how well everything was working when we went there last night after the restaurant had only been open six days. We're vegetarian; and despite the name, Capri had a ton for us. The environment was festive; they've really enlivened the former Cinquecento space, and we're really hoping it becomes a lasting fixture in the neighborhood. There were a couple of hiccups, absolutely not worth remarking upon; they're expected from a brand-new restaurant. We'll be back again, and soon, even if only to grab a drink at the lovely outdoor bar. Also, neither here nor there, but there was a waving inflatable squid in the window of a nearby apartment. We mentioned it to the people at the table next to us, and they gave us a look suggesting that my wife and I are sharing an intrafamily hallucination. We know what we saw.

Capri definitely lives up to the hype! The incredible coastal Italian aesthetics alone are enough to draw you in, but the food is the reason to stay. We had heard that the honey buns were a must get and they did not disappoint! The bread is so soft and the honey and sea salt add a great flavor. It didn't even need the ricotta it came with but that was great too. The crunchy ceasar salad was HUGE, honestly four could probably share it as an app. For entrees we got the rigatoni alla vodka and the chicken parm. For the chicken parm you get to choose what sauce you'd like - marinara, vodka, or bolognese. We went with the bolognese and it was great. Finally the service was incredible. Our server was thoughtful, attentive, and made great recommendations. Definitely coming back for another date night or a fun girls night out!

Tried this brand new and very popular spot in the south end. It is a massive space and the inside ins gorgeous and the outdoor patio gives off Capri beach club vibes. The drink menu offers a variety of traditional and new age cocktails. I had the cucumber spritz and it was so refreshing. For food we tried the honey bread, bruschetta, meatballs, and alla vodka. All were really good and I would recommend. Really cool date spot or going with friends.

My order: Zio ugo cocktail, tuna scottato, and Caesar salad The Review: We were looking for something light and nourishing to munch on, and stopped short when we saw the airy and inviting Capri patio peeking through the South End bricks. The staff welcomed us warmly (such nice folks!). The drinks were so refreshing--I highly recommend the Zio ugo cocktail, which is reminiscent of the Hugo spritz. My mom prefers fully cooked over raw, so they were able to make the tuna to her liking. I must say that it would've been wonderful with just a sear on it (as opposed to well-done). The crunchy Parmesan-y Caesar salad was the perfect pairing to the tuna. They were able to make everything with gluten allergy precautions for me, even marking the dishes with "allergy" picks. They also can make their pasta dishes with gluten-free pasta! I wandered inside to use the ladies' room when I saw that the decor indoors was even more impressive than their outdoor ambience. It's a beautiful place to celebrate an occasion or just live your fabulous life. Highly recommend Capri.

Interior is gorgeous and great vibes on the patio. Service was pretty good, don't love that you have to order everything at once. The bread is the most memorable part of the experience. I found the portion sizes to be a bit over the top. I visited close to opening week, so I would like to give it another try to see if there's been any improvements.

- : South End's hottest new Italian steakhouse just dropped and I'm ! Capri in SoWa is pure MAGIC! Gorgeous glass walls, cozy fireplace vibes, and that outdoor terrace with fire pits? Chef's kiss for those chilly Boston nights! The food game is STRONG - housemade pastas that'll make your nonna weep, perfectly charred steaks, and next-level tuna tartare. Their craft cocktails at that stunning upper bar? Fire! Pro tip: Snag a patio spot before everyone catches on! This place is about to be BOOKED solid. South End just got its and honey, we are NOT ready! Run, don't walk!

Omg this place is such a hidden gem everything from the drapes down to the mocktails LOL. Was spectacular before the service the ambience the music everything the food just perfect. I call it Alice and wonderland meets Italy vibes will be back!

What a wonderful restaurant! Besides being one of the most beautiful in Boston, the food and service were all excellent, five stars. We started outside at the beautiful bar, all of the decor was so well put together, and the staff was amazing at making cocktails. We moved to the inside bar for dinner and it was absolutely gorgeous and outstanding service as well. Definitely going to return.

Made reservations weeks in advance, for a birthday dinner. Walked in for early dinner and restaurant was mostly empty. Requested to be seated on the patio, which is supposedly first come first serve, but was told by the hostess that there would be a two and a half hour wait even though lots of tables were empty. There wasn't anyone else waiting. When questioned, the hostess stated that there is no time limit for the patrons currently dining. Was seated in the main dining room instead. Waitstaff was on point. Unfortunately, the only part of the meal that met expectations were the honey buns.

Food & service was excellent...I ordered lamb chops which did not disappoint. Entrees are a la carte = I suggest the mashed potatoes....We sat outside, which was very nice.

Quick short review , dined there Monday night sat outside and was catfished and what I mean by that is do you ever see a beautiful woman online and then meet them in person and it's a different person! That's how it was with service. A restaurant at that level the servers should be trained top notch. After our appetizers the plates sat for a bit as well as our cocktail glasses . Totally unacceptable when you're dealing with a restaurant at that scale! Food was good no complaints there.

Capri is truly a tucked-away hidden gem in the neighborhood! I loved the ambiance the second I walked into the outdoor seating area, it feels cozy yet elevated. We sat at the bar and it was perfect. Both of us ordered the Sophia cocktail (highly recommend if you like a little spice in your life), and the bartender was incredibly attentive, offering great recommendations throughout. Food-wise, everything was a hit! The meatballs, prosciutto, truffle fries, and rigatoni alla vodka were all hands-down delicious. The place is spotless, and even the bathrooms are kept tidy, which shows how much care goes into every detail. Nothing but great things to say, I'm so happy we now have a new Italian spot to enjoy regularly. Capri is definitely going to be a favorite!

The food was good, but I can't give more than 2 stars because the service was not there. When we first sat down, our server greeted us, brought drinks, and seemed attentive to other tables nearby. I thought we'd be in good hands. I was wrong. There were four of us. I ordered an appetizer, which took about 20 to 30 minutes to come out. After that, our server never came back to check on us. I watched her take care of the tables right next to us, even glancing at our table before walking past us to the ones behind us. Meanwhile, three of our cups sat empty and no one bothered to ask if we needed refills. I ordered our entrees about ten minutes after the appetizer, and it took over an hour and fifteen minutes for just three dishes to arrive. Being seated right next to the kitchen and POS station, it was hard to believe we were simply "forgotten." Another server eventually cleared our appetizer plates, so we thought our food was finally coming, but we ended up waiting another 30 minutes. By that point, I was frustrated. It honestly felt like we were being ignored because of our ethnicity or how we were dressed. I even noticed others dressed the same way as us being served just fine. What made it worse was the moment I pulled out my phone and started timing the service, the attitude suddenly changed. That told me everything. By the time our food came out, I felt disrespected and didn't even want to stay. The food may be worth it, but the way we were treated made me never want to come back. If you value being treated like your presence matters, think twice before dining here.

capri is incredible. i am very strict on my reviews, the highest i've ever given was a 9.13 i give this place a 8.73 out of 10. the atmosphere is truly special and the service was to another level. my mother had told this waitress named estee and she was telling my mom about how good the hobby buns were. my mom said she will try them next time but then estee brought out a order of them for us on the house just out of her heart. so generous. incredible

Best food I've ever eaten I highly recommend the honey buns. They are amazing. The soft, fluffy texture with that sweet glaze makes them so good every single time. Each bite has the perfect balance of sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth goodness that just keeps you coming back for more. They're the kind of treat that you never get tired of, and once you try them, you'll understand why I think they're the best

The ambience was very beautiful both inside and outside - and the positives stop there. The food was terrible in several ways; the ingredients were noticeably not fresh that one could smell the odor of the fish from across the room, and the cooking was done so poorly that the texture was off in all directions with some being soaked and some others being extremely burnt. Most of all, the eccentricity went way past the point of being excusable as creativity; the combination of ingredients simply made no sense and the result was a complete mess of discord, aggravated by the lack of basic cooking skills. The cocktails had similar problems, just even worse. The price was even higher compared to popular upscale restaurants, which was simply unacceptable considering the poor quality. The service was friendly but very slow and unattentive.

My friends and I had an amazing experience at Capri. Service was great, food was tasty, and the restaurant itself is just beautiful. We had the Caesar salad ( the same recipe as Prima) 10/10, risotto 6/10, honey buns 10000/10, tortellini de mais 8/10 - really great flavor but the pasta was too al dente, my friends had the chicken parm 10/10. Drinks were also great. Def recommend.

As someone who lived in Florence Italy for 4 months, this place exceeded every expectation I had! The staff was so nice, the wine list was great, and the food was magnificent. The place is huge, and there's nothing I love more than not feeling rushed/ like they're trying to turn my table over quick. Capri service was fantastic and quick, but also allowed us to take our time while eating & drinking. We had the bread (which was divine), burratta (10/10, no notes), and also shared the vodka pasta, steak, and chicken milanese which was crispy and cooked perfectly. The vodka sauce was creamy and delicious - the table next to us ordered an extra side of the sauce, because it's just that creamy and good! The steak was also cooked perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our new neighborhood spot!! So happy this place opened up and we will be back!!!!

Sat outdoors, beautiful fireplace and great vibes. Service was excellent. Went for a birthday and got to choose between getting champagne for a toast at the beginning of the meal or a dessert at the end. Food was delicious. Menu was extensive. Great cocktails in pretty glasses. Will definitely be back

Called several days in a row to schedule a reservation, left messages each time and never received a call back. We had a large party and followed the instructions on their website to call to reserve for a large party. Very disappointed they never returned the calls.

Ambiance was unreal! Food was a 10/10! Make sure to get the bread, incredible !! Our service was great, we had a group of 8 and the host was very accommodating. Got a drink at the outside bar while we waited!

Capri seems like they need time to develop some more. The servers were a bit clueless. They forgot our drinks and then brought us the wrong ones. We got dessert and they brought over a spoon with green gunk on it. Drinks weren't great, the espresso martini tasted very watered down. They nailed it on the ambiance and the look of the restaurant but the service could definitely have been better. Nothing was comped on the bill after a couple of errors on their end. I mean you can't give someone a spoon with food on it. Giving them grace as they opened 3 weeks ago, and hopefully in a couple weeks time they figure these things out.

I called ahead and got the voicemail 3 times. It stated they open at 4pm and the outdoor seating was first come first serve. With that being said, I assumed we could put our name in and wait for the "first come first serve table". At 2pm,I asked the host for a table, he looked at me as if I had 3 heads and said, "we don't have anything, we have been booked for a month". I starred, waiting for more of an explanation, in which he said "maybe at 5, but it's highly unlikely." At that time I said no thank you. I went to order a drink, and waited at the bar for 30 minutes, there were only 2 bartenders on for the outdoor patio. Additionally the manager brought over a group of women who cut us in line because "the bartender asked them first". The outdoor patio cleared out completely, in which I went back to the host stand and asked if we could sit. I also asked for clarity about the seating policy. It was then explained by another host, that they give the kitchen a break between 3-4 and have reservations for outside, which is inconsistent with the phone message. We did not wait for dinner given the rude and unwelcoming attitude. The drinks were great, and so was the ambiance
