Kaprica

Had a lovely birthday dinner at Kaprica — a cosy Italian spot with a relaxed yet charming vibe. The food was fresh and full of flavour; we especially enjoyed the handmade pasta and the pizza, both cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and the atmosphere made it feel special without being too formal. A great place for casual celebrations and anyone who enjoys authentic, simple Italian cooking. However, it was quite hard and tiring to get attention from the waiter during the service.

I had been really excited to try Kaprica, but unfortunately it didn’t quite live up to my hopes. The mains were decent, but nothing to write home about (we had 2 pizzas and 2 pastas, and all were just ok). The focaccia was served cold (like straight out of a refrigerator type cold) and wasn’t great sadly :( The restaurant interior is lovely, but I echo what many say about it being extremely loud inside and difficult to hear people even right next to you

The restaurant stands to the hype and popularity it has. It’s ultimate chaos but still harmonious with good food and ambience. Friendly service. We had one of the best tiramisu which was suggested by the service staff. Had asked for a slice of cake for my wife as it was her birthday, mentioned this in the reservation booking also. Looks like they missed it.

Did the set menu, pizza and starters were generous and yummy!! Loved the mushroom and Margherita. Pasta was mid both red sauce and under seasoned :(

The tables were really cramped, sitting too close to strangers and servers struggled to get through. They should rethink the layout. Food was decent. The mains came almost immediately after the entrees, which didn’t give us time or space on the small table. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant though.

My partner and I came to Kaprica for our anniversary dinner in May and were extremely unimpressed. Firstly, the server seated us on the second floor directly next to another couple. The entire floor was empty except for that couple, I’m not sure why they seated us elbow to elbow. We ordered caprese salad, so boring. A pasta and 2 pizzas, all of which were randomly INCREDIBLY spicy. It was really odd as we are people who can tolerate pretty much any level of spice but we were picking the chilli off which was everywhere btw. The pizzas was terrible and when we lifted each slice the entire toppings slipped off. It was literally so terrible I’m still thinking about it how terrible it was 4 months later.

Pretty disappointing experience. We were a party of 9, and we were seated on two tiny round tables which would maybe be suitable for 4–5 people, certainly not 9 people. As soon as another bigger table cleared, we asked to be moved there which the waiter kindly did for us. The food was good, other than the gnocchi which was basically mashed potato. Pizza and pasta was good and the bread was amazing! The service pretty bad. The waitress flirted with my partner right in front of me, and called him ‘honey’ While ignoring my existence. I found that pretty disrespectful. We had to order our drinks several times before they were actually brought out. At one point we watched the waiter who had just taken our order start preparing a drink which we thought might have been ours but in fact he was just preparing his own drink and meal for his break while we sat and patiently waited. Pretty disappointing considering we had heard great things about this restaurant.

I had a nice time catching up with my friend and we enjoyed our time. I didn’t mind the tight space, it felt cosy and wholesome. I definitely rate the Mr John pizza and the salad with rocket and parmesan. The veal meatball pasta dish was a little bland but I will say the meat was tender and juicy. Our wines were great. We enjoyed the Trebbianco and the Shiraz. The service was alright. Some of the wait staff didn’t look like they wanted to be at work and I completely understand that. Work can suck, especially in facing roles, but that doesn’t mean you don’t try a little. The dishes came out hot and fast, but it felt like it was made with passion. Overall, it was pretty good.
