Ugg...I hate giving restaurants 2 star reviews...and to a restaurant who consistently hits Indianapolis Monthly's Top 25...a shame. After reading yelp reviews and as a recommendation from a friend I though this was going to be the perfect Anniversary Date....Disappointment City.... The Good: The ambiance, old school, white table cloth, black and white bow tied servers, old wood, impressive wine wall, and an Fancy Italian Espresso Machine that sits perched in the middle of their dining room. My pondering are whether this large copper dream machine still produces the espresso from the old country?! The Bad: Our arrival experience went like this: We arrived with a party in front of us and just inside the door on the right hand side there is a bench whose intended purpose I can only surmise is for waiting guests. But who should I see sitting there--no not guests-- it more looked like a penalty box of servers dressed in white with hands on knees as if to say, "Put me in coach!". The host was away seating another table while we waited to be checked in at the host stand. While the host was away a bold benched server approached asking if we had reservations. I gave him our name and seemed slightly confused as to whether he had our reservation or not. After I asked him if he had our reservation or not he said "Yes, I think so, we just need to figure out where we are going to put you. We have a very busy night ahead of us with lots of reservations." He mumbled something and my wife and I looked confused at one another trying to discern whether or not he asked us to follow him or not. Another benched server got up and indicated we should have followed him. We were sloppily passed off to the host who ironically enough was the owner. The owner did not say one word or even make eye contact with us but sat our table of two right next to a 12 top and 16 top...romantic... Oh dear...so the arrival experience wasn't perfect... The benched server who first approached us at the door approaches us now and says, "I guess I will be your server." Don't get me wrong Mr. Scoto, was a very nice gentleman...just very confused about restaurant operations. He mentions the specials to us as we inquire if the bar could make a Bellini. Poor Scoto was unfamiliar with Bellini's and was very careful to ask the spelling so he could inquire of the bar whether or not they could make. 20 minutes later he comes back to tell us that they could not find their peach schnapps but perhaps my wife would like a glass of wine instead. She declined and ordered a Italian Margarita. He also mentioned that he made a mistake and told us yesterday's specials am not sure if Scotto was new or if he had ever really waited on a table before. His menu knowledge was sub par and were left to only hope the food was going to be out of this world. The UGLY: I am of the opinion that I do not mind the wait so long as the food is excellent. I will be happy to wait an hour for an entree that borders on modern art in form and taste. However, my Yelping Cohorts, I am sorry to have left you on the edge of your seat during this Shakespearean Tragedy but I am afraid that the final nail in the coffin was that the food when it arrived to the table was cold...not luke warm--cold. Does it even matter what entree we ordered? I don't think it does...food cold are you serious? I asked for the check....and we left. I didn't even bother to tell the owner because nobody bothered to ask how our meal was including our server. And I am sad to say the owner didn't seem to concerned about us when he sat us our table in the first place.... I am sorry to disappoint all of you who hold this restaurant near and dear to your heart as a staple to north side Indy. I am willing to say this could be an off night...but an off night for the owner as well? It grieves me to say but I was left with a lackluster impression that was without magic. Though this happened to be our anniversary we did not let the fun stop there we went to another favorite restaurant to order desert and coffee where we could continue enjoying each others company. Maybe we'll be back far in the future and give this one another go but....yikes....

We have enjoyed Capri over the years and still value its ambiance. Our last visit, however, made me wonder whether it has begun the slide common to aging restaurants. Our first disappointment on a Monday night was that our favorite appetizer, a combination of dry salami and hard Provolone, was not available. We opted for the Calamari Fritti, which proved to be stale and tasteless, accompanied by a bland sauce that tasted like it had just come out of a Hunt's can. My wife ordered one special - a lamb and noodles entree - that was very good. I ordered another special, chicken lasagna, and was not pleased. The lasagna was bland and mushy, with no particular flavor. Even the rolls brought to the table had no distinction. The best part of the entire meal for me was the dressing on the house salad. This was a sad comedown from past meals, which had been joyous. I was further saddened by the management's failure to respond to an email about our experience. Ciao, Capri.

I hadn't been to Capri in over a year and was in the mood for something different, some Italian food, etc. so I made reservations. I had a chicken dish, really can't remember which one...it was THAT forgettable. Bland, a little on the dry side, presentation was nothing special at all. My dining companion had one of the specials, spaghetti & meatballs. You'd think it would be out of this world at an Italian restaurant, but again, very bland. The meatballs were very small and had a dry texture. Not quite enough sauce on the pasta, either. Salads were average. We skipped dessert after having such a mediocre dinner. We laughed as we drove away...we would have gotten a better meal at The Olive Garden. The place was empty on a Saturday night from 7:30 PM - 8:45 PM, literally only two or three other tables had people seated at them and maybe two or three people were in the bar.

This place is pretty popular, but I was not impressed. Probably my least favorite Italian restaurant I've ever been to. Ambiance is nice, but the food is overpriced and I got pretty bad service. The chicken I got was a strange color and tasted disgusting. Did not enjoy my dinner, so I was hoping the desert would be decent, but it wasn't. I got a cannoli and it was just not good. Definitely won't be back to this place.

I hate giving out a one star review, particularly to a locally-owned, independent business. But you have to do just a little more than take my money and serve me boring food to earn those stars! Living nearby Matteo's in Noblesville, and being a big fan, I was excited to try Capri (owned by Matteo's older brother). The restaurant itself was comfortable and attractive, with a warm and rustic ambiance. I was dining with some friends on a Monday night, and we were one table along with perhaps six other tables seated in the huge main dining area. Not busy at all. After fulfilling our wine order, the waiter came back to the table and tersely asked "Do you know what you want?" When I asked him if there were specials, his answer was "lasagna, lamb and fish." I swear to God, my jaw dropped. When I asked him to elaborate, he responded with "chicken, demi-glace, white fish in a sauce." I ordered lasagna. Matteo's serves the best I've ever had, so I was hoping they'd share a similar recipe. It looked good when brought to the table. The waiter offered parmesan cheese, and after I saw the huge amount he spread over my friend's plate, I asked for "a very light sprinkle." I honestly think he did this to spite me ... he dug that spoon deep into the bowl of cheese and threw about 3 tablespoons of cheese on my lasagna! I scraped much of it off, thinking I'd prefer to taste the entree and not just the cheese. However, after a few bites of the bland and dry lasagna, I started to scoop that cheese back on! It needed any flavor it could get. The best part of the evening was the room and the company. For the meal and the service, I would've enjoyed myself better just about anywhere else. Next time, I'm dragging my friends up to Noblesville!

I've been coming to Capri with my husband for quite some time, we both love this place. The atmosphere is just fabulous and the staff is very attentive and always friendly to us. The rolls are amazing and the pasta is to die for. I really enjoy their tomato cream sauce especially. All I really have to say is that you have to try this place to understand what I mean. My husband and I enjoy our Capri nights, we come to enjoy a great glass of wine, the atmosphere and leave stuffed from delicious food and happy.

One of the best restaurants in Indy. My girlfriend and I split a pasta as a starter and the veal as a main course. It was a great amount for the two of us. It was kind of expensive, but much higher quality than at a similar price point in Indy. Certainly the best Italian (and only authentic Italian) in town.

Morgan D.
Blue cheese stuffed olives in my martini, thank you very much. Deliciously rich cream sauce on my handmade tortellini, I'm drooling. Spumoni ice cream, it melts in my mouth. Can you tell that I love this place? Capri is a family favorite and whenever I visit they make reservations. Some of the best Italian I've ever had. Just go, you will not be disappointed. In fact, bring a date... they will appreciate it and maybe you'll even get lucky.

Without question the best Italian in the area...mostly due to the fresh pasta....c'mon on....most every Italian restaurant in Indy has served dry pasta...really not acceptable these days ! Kitchen has cooked everything absolutely perfectly....at least to this Golden Corral educated palette. Brilliantly creative and changing "specials"....example....roasted beat ravioli....ravioli stuffed with a ground fish/tomato/cream sauce that was unbelievable. Every fish dish I have had has been perfectly cooked. Superb, professional, unhurried service....friendly without having to exchange Facebooks.....very good with the GF's kiddos. Kid friendly in the dining room. Excellent espresso....which is all to often of secondary...or thirdary....importance in other restaurants around town. My only suggestion ?? Improve the wines by the glass. There is no reason not to rotate interesting wines BTG.....we eat there about once every week or 10 days..but would likely eat more often if the wines were a bit more interesting.

This is an established Italian restaurant that has been around a long time and we have visited a few times over the years. The food and service are both excellent. The ambiance is that of a family owned restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. We were with a group of seven and all loved their meals. I had a caprese salad and broccoli soup. The soup was vegetarian and had a great creamy taste. I need the recipe! My wife had the seafood salad with three different fish and loved it. A little pricey at $17. The dressing contained garlic, which we should have asked about since she cannot handle that very well. We had a bottle of the house Cabernet Sauvignon at $29. All-in-all a satisfying experience.

Excellent food. Excellent service. I love this place. I stopped by last week for a social event, and to say that I was impressed is an understatement. Wow. This place is great. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. I especially loved the Grano Padano con Prosciutto e Olive. I'll be back for sure.

Hands down..the best and most authentic Italian restaurant in Indy. Service is phenomenal, pastas are hand made, soup made out of scratch, meat and seafood are fresh, desserts are made by the owner's mom. They also have a wood oven and you can order pizza which is part of their secret menu. Must try: calamari, pasta negra (specials), and tiramisu.

I have to give Capri some stars strictly on the service we received while dining, it was impeccable. Our waitress was so knowledgeable on the menu and specials, she was helpful and patient as we made up our minds. We had mozzarella Caprese salad for appetizers. Nothing amazing but definitely fresh. I saw someone's asparagus soup and wanted a little cup, very chunky and nothing flavorful. Was not impressed. I ordered the Salmon fetticine for my main course, yummy but a little dry.

Rob B.
I hadn't been in over a decade so we decided to give Capri another try. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for $12 which I thought was pricey. Little did I know that it was, in fact, A stuffed mushroom, cut in half for us to split (if there were 4 of us would it have been in quarters?).Drenched in basalmic to the point of overpowering, I couldn't get it down. The entrees were a further let down. With the food being so bad I had know idea why the waiter was being so pretentious. All in all, a decade wasn't long enough.

My son had been there before with us and wanted to have his 30th birthday dinner at Capri. I made reservations 2 months in advance and they said, for a party of 8, only 6:00 PM was available. Alright. We got there and the restaurant was empty. They sat us in the back corner. The ceiling above us was under construction. Somewhere between appetizers and the main course, our waiter changed. No explanation. I felt bad. It was not the experience we had on our previous trips to Capri.

Like most have said, gotta give at least 4 stars based on service, and atmosphere alone. If going with family, you'll have to sit on the family side, which means much less comfy chairs, but that's it. I've sat in both sides, and the bar side. Bar side the chairs are almost too comfy. Hard to leave! The service, on either side, is impeccable. Very knowledgeable about the food/specials/the place itself. And of course they know their stuff when it comes to wine. That's a plus for this guy. Menu is fairly simple, in that it's not overly crowded with the same dish cooked 10 different ways. I opted for the specials both times, as they have some awesome specials as well as regular menu options. I am VERY picky about my Italian. So when I overheard a guy behind me saying to his friends that he was going to have to talk to the owner about how to make gnocchi, because the cooks used too much flour, I just rolled my eyes. "this guy hasn't been to Italy more than me, how could he know what the Hell Italian should taste like"???? LOL! (that's a jab at my ego there...) But he was right! Couldn't believe it! I had the special hand made ravioli, stuffed with saaaaasage, and cremini mushroom sauce. It was fine, BUT the pasta was WAY to thick and doughy. I gave it a 3 outta 5. Time before I had Petto di pollo valdostano, (chicken with prosciutt) and was a 5 outta 5 for sure. Next time I could just order off the antipast list. It is amazing! Hand made Italian cold cuts, cheeses, olives, the whole shabang. I haven't had one antipast that let me down. And I've had 5. Treat yourself and go!

This is the best Italian in Indy. The key is the pasta is made in house. Anyone can boil pre-made boxed noodles. But the fresh pasta is the difference, and the delicious sauces put this place over the top. The bread is baked on site too. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxing (no kids allowed) and the service is prompt and attentive without being overbearing. After eating here, you will judge other Italian restaurants by a different standard!

Bryan W.
Please rest assured this review has nothing to do based on the food, If they just lowered their prices some, to be a bit more competetive, 5 stars easy. 5 stars for the food, 4 for the price. I went in on North Side Nights for their special menu. I had broccoli soup, fettucine with veal meatballs, and tiramisu. All the food was fresh, hand made noodles, hot and delicious. Great meal and the wine was fantastic. Great warm atmosphere, will definetely go back at some point.. I highly recommend this place

Wife and I visited along with our dinner club of 12. Reservations set for 6:30. Service was what you would come to expect. We asked our waiter for recommendations. She was very knowledgable. Food tasted great. Loud atmosphere big room, tables are close together. We enjoyed our time and never felt rushed for second seating after 8:00.

High expections.. not so great results.. looks great inside. Until you actually look. Wires hanging from ceiling. . Dirty ceiling.. empty light areas where recessed lightint should be. Looks like they remodeled and never finished. What a shame.. hopefully food can make up for it. Food is nothing special.. not a great presentation. Taste was ok.. I wouod not pay 15 $ for ravioli again there..

Disclaimer: I am from Boston. With that being said one should also know that Boston has a large Italian-American population. I am one of them. Capri is the best restaurant I've eaten at thus far in Indy. This is excellent Italian no matter where you are in the country. Never had a bad meal, bad service, or a bad drink. House made pasta is excellent. Ever tried to make your own pasta? Yeah. It's pretty tough. That's why you go to places like this where the owner is actually from Italy, and can teach his staff to do it right. And when I say do it right, I mean making actual, real honest to goodness Italian. Ragu sauces, homemade pastas, ravioli, tortellini, bolognese, picatta, etc. etc. etc. Do youself a favor - get the cannoli. I repeat. get. the. cannoli. Might be on the ever so slightly pricey side, but it is still much, much cheaper than some of the other places I have paid for a sub par meal at. Places that were, mind you, touted as something outstanding. If you can, sit on the right side of the restaurant upon entering. More inviting atmosphere that I would describe as kind of a classy casual feeling. Overall with four drinks total, split app, two meals and a split dessert you'll spend about $75 give or take for two before tax and tip. You'll have some to take home too. A little piece of Boston's North End 10 minutes from my apartment, which was the same distance from me to the North End when I lived in Boston. Been eating there every other week since I got here 6 months ago and won't stop any time soon.

Atmosphere- Very cool, calm, and warm atmosphere. Very old school, and very classy. As someone previously mentioned, if you have the choice, definitely choose the lounge area to the right for your meal. It feels like you're in a cool lodge, or a classy speakeasy from the 30's. There's also a real, working fireplace in the lounge area that just compliments the whole style of this place. It's just, just, class through and through in this place. Waiters/Staff- Class, as well. I have been here a few times and every waiter/waitress I have had has been extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It's always a plus to have a server who knows the menu and when you ask a question about an item, they don't essentially, read the description back to you. Food- Well prepared, simple menu. When I say simple I mean their menu isn't littered with a ton of items you probably don't care about. They have enough items to suit everyone's tastes, and a small enough menu to feel confident that the chef picked these items because they are his specialties. Overall- Amazing place whose food is as quality as their service and atmosphere. A highly recommended dining experience in Indianapolis.

The best Italian place in Indy. The rolls are delicious, the pasta freshly made. I love the atmosphere of the bar area. Very swanky. I feel like Sinatra could walk in any moment. The staff isn't always super friendly, but I feel like they treat me like someone in Rome would treat me... I love the Ravioli Aurora. The tomato creme sauce is out of this world. I also recommend the sea bass special and my hubby always gets Penneta Boscaiola and then adds shrimp to the dish. Delicious!

I'd been searching around all day for a nice place for a cozy dinner on Labor Day. At my wits end, I came across Capri. And what a find. The location is funky. Off one of the main roads and nestled in between construction behind a Junior Achievement building and a Math + Science teaching center. But it's worth the weaving. There's a cute outdoor seating area for nice nights. But the treasure is inside. The tables and bar area are fancy and upscale without feeling too stick-up-your-ass. The service was amazing. Nothing was ever empty and nothing sat on our table when we were finished. Oh ~ and there is cake. Yes, there is. Save room for dessert. Trust me, suckers.

Thank you, Arturo!!! After being snubbed by some other Indy restaurants when trying to make a reservation, my stepfather advised me of this place Indy should be incredibly thankful for. From the decor to the food to the staff, everything was PERFECTION. We initially had a reservation for 6 that turned into 9, and we had no issue; they were incredibly accommodating to our every need. We started with a few bottles of presecco, this was a bachelorette party after all! For starters, while sipping on the presecco and decorating the bachelorette in her tiara for the evening, we had the calamari and artichoke. The calamari was lightly breaded with a marinara, very basic and simple but well done. The calamari wasn't drenched in batter so as to lose its taste but more of a light pan fry. The artichoke was the only average part of the meal--anywhere else it may have been a highlight. The orders for the table of 9 were a variety of main dishes, all of which received superb reviews--even from my younger sister who never finishes a meal ate every morsel of her penne pasta. I had the spaghetti and meatballs because I couldn't resist the description of homemade veal meatballs AND homemade pasta. I try to avoid ordering pasta at a restaurant but it was well worth it. The table also shared a couple of great, moderately priced wines. They had a nice selection. Before ordering our desserts, our waiter--who was one of the best serves I've ever had--leaned in to me and asked if we wanted a little time after the table cleared so the bride to be could finish opening her gifts. He knew when to come and refill glasses and be around when something was needed and disappear without notice when the table had everything it needed. Perfection. BRAVO!

Moved here from NY several years ago and really miss the one of a kind Italian restaurants that you find all over the place there in the ocean of chains that represent the majority of local dining options here in Indy. Capri is a rare exception. The service, atmosphere, and food is top-flight. We've been back several times but our visit today was remarkable. My wife and I arrived very early for dinner and had the place mostly to ourselves. We had a great meal with attentive service and were very impressed by the care that the entire team was taking to prepare the restaurant for the Saturday evening crowd. Every glass was polished by hand, every place setting was inspected, the outdoor patio was swept and the portico vines trimmed by a small team, and the restaurant management was fully engaged making sure that all employees were prepared to make the evening special for every customer. I love to see that type of commitment and it provided a great insight into the consistently great experience we have dining at Capri.

So as usual, my vegan better half will make an appearance in this review. I'd been wanting to try this place after several friends had recommended it, but wasn't sure the herbivore would endure. I called ahead to ask if they could accommodate my vegan date and they assured me they could. When we arrived, not only did they remember me calling, but also had a menu ready to point out the vegan-modifiable dishes. The manager (or owner, I'm not sure) actually seemed to enjoy the challenge and let us know about a few other Italian staples that are plant-based. The food was SO amazing-- loved the old fashioned ambiance, and my boyfriend really enjoyed the penne puttanesca. Great wine list, outstanding menu. Italian dishes were a fixture in my household growing up, so I'm so glad to have found a neighborhood spot that I can take my beau to. Buon appetito!

Capri is the BEST Italian restaurant in Indianapolis. Service is provided by "old fashion" waiters and waitresses who are professionals and take great pride in their service and knowledge. The food is totally worth the price. Homemade pastas, amazing sardines, and fish or shellfish that is always fresh. I love the bar area in the rainy or winter season since there is always a lovely fire burning in their stone fireplace. Their wine list is good, would like to see that improve as we enjoy great Italian wines. The restaurant has easy parking, but is tucked in behind a few other buildings, so it can be hard to find your first visit. In the summer there is a great outdoor seating area to enjoy. Highly recommend this gem.

Meh, no kids and pretense - seems a lot of hub bub about a slightly above average spot. My wife and I took our date night here and it was kind of a waste. Don't get me wrong it's tasty food and better than Maggianos but in a city like NY or Chicago this place would be out of business.

I love, love, love Capri. I've been here a few times, but the last time I was here we went all-out for dinner. This is a great place to celebrate with a loved one for things like anniversaries or birthdays. If you can afford it, I suggest buying a bottle of wine, doing the appetizers, a dinner, and after-dinner drinks or dessert. (That ran us around $170 with tip for 2 people, although we did purchase a more expensive bottle of wine.) If you don't feel like dropping a bunch of cash, don't fear! It's just as enjoyable to go for lunch and have a pasta dish. Their spaghetti bolognese is my favorite Italian dish in Indy. We went around 6 pm on a Saturday and there was no need to make a reservation. However, by 7 the patio was pretty full. If you're interested in dining around 7 on a weekend I would suggest calling ahead.

My family and I met friends here for dinner based upon prior reviews... We were not disappointed! My daughter loved her spaghetti bolognese, I had the mussels. Service was very good. Bread with oil brought out early :). Nice wine list, albeit pricey. The restaurant is a little hard to find as its behind other buildings. Very professional wait staff. Definitely don't miss this one.

Always a great meal and wine list continues to get better. Visited many times and when we look around at all off the plates, not a drop left on any. Pastas are fresh, meat or fish is always good, and bread is hot and made fresh. A staple for anyone!

The food and atmosphere at this Italian restaurant was excellent. Service was really good as well. I am used to really good Italian food being from Chicago but I have to admit that this did not disappoint. The wine selection was extensive although many of the wines were quite high in price. I had the special which was a veal stuffed cannelloni dish and it was very well prepared. I also ordered a bottle of the Chianti for around $35 and that complemented the food very well. I would suggest this restaurant for anyone looking for a good meal with friends, significant other, or even a first date.

Made my first visit to Capri on a Saturday for an early dinner before show at Clowes. My SO suggested and I and glad she did, it exceeded my expectations. We did not have a reservation but it was only 5:30 so we had no problem getting a table. The server arrived immediately with water and then gave us a moment before taking our drink order, I opted for a gin martini while my SO stuck with water. We studied the menu and a few minutes later our server returned with my martini and shared a very long list of specials he had memorized. We ordered a stuffed portabella and continued to mull over the menu, after a few minutes he reined and we placed our order, I opted for the veal Osso buco while mSO selected the seafood stuffed pasta. Our starter arrived a few moments later and it was one of my favorite stuffed mushrooms ever, the large cap was stuffed with a generous amount of a seasoned ground chicken, cheese, and topped with a very nice balsamic dressing. When I go back I will definitely order this again. Or server was kind enough to cut and plate the starter for each of us since we were sharing. Our dinners arrived and I ate every bite of my Osso Buco, the meat was tender and flavorful and the sauce was good, I did not care much for the mixed veggies and scalloped potatoes that came with. My SO enjoyed her seafood pasta and was happy to find a place that did not use heavy cream sauces in all seafood dishes. We very much enjoyed the food and service at Capri.

My wife & I dined here on New Year's Eve - very unimpressed overall. We were seated next to a drafty window overlooking some construction trash. No cocktail menu, but they did have a full bar. Our server was very slow. The highlight of the meal was my wife's chicken dish. I ordered the ravioli in tomato cream sauce, which was unremarkable at best. Some of the ravioli were undercooked. We had ordered a bottle of wine, but it wasn't brought until we were nearly done with our entrees, so we sent it back. We ordered chocolate cake for desert, and were brought something that in no way resembled the menu's description. When we tried to send it back, we were treated to a heated discussion between the manager and our server in italian. Despite not getting our wine and sending back our desert, our bill still managed to get close to $100 for two cocktails and two entrees. No grazie. If you're in the mood for italian, head north to J. Razzos.

Nice, old-school Italian restaurant with good service. I had dinner in the private party room, for a private function. We were served family-style, so there was plenty of food to go around. Overall, flavors were good but some of the textural elements were missing from the pasta dishes. - Antipasto Buffet Table - Bruschetta - House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette - Chicken Lasagna - Leg of Lamb - "Tortellino alla Papalina"

Shocking really - and in a great way! Capri is among the best dining experiences in Indianapolis or anywhere else for that matter. Further, it is authentic Italian dining (yes yes, I've eaten many meals in Italy). The food is always very good. I love Prosciutto and Mozzarella and they prepare this dish to perfection: Warm roles on the side with butter. Very fresh lean prosciutto, fresh and moist mozzarella, drizzle of olive oil and garnished with artichoke and olives - perfect. When serving soup for one, they bring two spoons for sharing without being asked. These little touches and attention to details do not go unnoticed. Cream of potato and leak soup - fantastic. Much of the staff speaks Italian. All of the wait staff dresses in black and white with a vest and tie - very professional and cool. Outstanding dining value and attention to detail in a world rife one size fits all and places like 5 Guys, Olive Garden and Outback Steakhouse.

We went to Capri with some friends on Sunday afternoon. We were the only ones there. The place was beautiful. The colors were very comforting. The waitress was very friendly and knew the menu. One of us has a nut and chive allergy. She knew what to avoid. We got calamari and a antipasti Secca alla Calabrese Homemade Dry Salami & Aged Provolone Cheese to start. The calamari was good, but have had much better. The cheese on the antipasti was alright, the meat was right down rubbery. Two of us ordered Petto di Pollo Valdostano the others got Tagliatelle del Contadino. The Pollo or chicken dish made us both think of a very bad wedding reception dish. The chicken was pale, looked like when you boil chicken in just water, the sauce had no flavor. The menu said cream sauce with sage. No sage was tasted. This came with a side of green beans and carrots. The green beans were the best part. The others with the pasta dish said they like it. My God Son ordered the spaghetti and pomodoro sauce. I thought his tasted very good. All in all we spent something like 130 + $ on Sunday lunch. No alcohol either for that price. We will not be going back. Much better food at Iaria's, Mama Carolla's or even Fazoli's.

It is difficult to imagine that one could find a better Italian dining experience than Capri - and I don't mean just in Indy. The dining area is cozy. The patio is charming with its white lights and vines (even if it does overlook a parking lot); The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Most importantly, the food is authentic and excellent - homemade pasta, freshly made sauces, perfectly cooked meats and vegetables. Last night, the special was a beef lasagna (not ground beef - REAL roasted and chopped beef!). The texture of the beef with the homemade pasta and sauce was amazing. Hubby's steak was perfectly cooked and served with an excellent mushroom and wine sauce. We ended with a little limoncello. A wonderful evening. On previous visits, we have enjoyed chicken and shimp dishes and had similarly enjoyable experiences.

Wonderful place. Nine of us dined at Capri last night, and we all agreed that this place is superb. The true test of an Italian restaurant, IMHO, is how they do eggplant. The eggplant appetizer "Melanze parmigiana" (which is a big enough portion to be an entree) was done to perfection. Perfectly cooked and saused, with just the right spices. The "Grana Podanno con Prosciutto e olive" and the "Carciofi Marinati" appetizers were also completely consumed with abandon by the group. I chose the Veal Pizziola as my entree, and was not dissapointed. The veal was tender and flavorful and the pizziola sauce was perfect. The dish was accompanied on the plate with a portion of potatoes au-gratin with a very creamy goodness and a serving of green beans with just the right "crunch". Some of the other entree choices by my dinner companions included: spaghetti with veal meatballs, Ravioli Aurora, Pollo con Salsiccia, Picata di vitello a limone, and Filleto dell' Alpino. By the end of the meal, no "doggie bags" were required, because every thing had been happily consumed. My dinner companions were sophisticated world travelers, with "educated" palates, and we have all been to Italy many times, and some of us are actually Italian, or want to be. And we all agree that Capri is a true gem in Indianapolis. This is a great restaurant.

The best Italian food in Indy! And maybe better than any I've had in my hometown of Cincy. The experience, the atmosphere, the wait-staff were all very good. The portion sizes are very good but not over zealous. They do not compromise volume of food for quality like many Italian restaurants. The quality of the food and the skill of the chef shine through in the food. We had the ravioli aurora dish which was absolutely incredible as well as the perfectly textured gnocchi. We also has the spaghetti bolognese which was cooked the perfect level of al dente. Definitely make a reservation here since they seemed to be very busy on a saturday night.

Best Veal in the city. Great service with a comfortable feeling in the bar. Well poured cocktails. Can't get any better than this.

Wow after all these other great reviews I was excited to get some simple delicious Italian food with great service but I was sorely disappointed. My most basic review is that this food was on par with Olive Garden which is fine if that is what you want. The ambiance was nice and the prices where a little high. On a good side. We sat outside on a beautiful night and their patio was great. The food is what earned the one star. The food was not good nor did the menu offer anything interesting. I ordered a penne with basil and light red sauce. The noodles were a little overcooked, the red sauce was too cream,y and there was no hint of spice anywhere near my food. I had to ask for parmesan and could not get salt or pepper. My husband's chicken, sun dried tomato and fettucini dish was no better. Completely lacking in flavor. The rolls however were the BEST part (which you gotta admit is pretty sad). The service was horrible. The waiter looked like he had far too many tables and just could not get his act together. It took forever to get anything and he ran through the specials so fast I couldn't understand any of them. One of my first experiences where the yelp reviews just did not seem to match. (P.S. I felt a little bad for this negative review and tried to edit it to make it nicer but I just couldn't do it. The food was not good.)

How can it be that no one has reviewed the restaurant that served the best meal I have eaten in Indy??!! So it next to Walmart, behind a strip mall. Had no idea what to expect, but found white table clothes, real fire place, great wood paneling and bar. Sat at the bar and ordered the Pappardelle with wild boar and a club soda. Several years ago I saw Wings of Desire and I still remember floating out of the theater all of the way home. To me that is the feeling you hope to achieve after a good meal, you just float home. You are transformed. Well, my pasta was that good.

Quiet with a rustic feel. Attentive servers and delicious food. Their wine suggestions were a bit off, but, hey--that's subjective anyway.

I really enjoy the Capri when eating out in Indy. It's locally owned, it employees professional servers, it has a very nice atmosphere, and they often have entertainment. While I've been here 10+ times, my most recent dinner met my high expectations. I enjoyed homemade spaghetti with veal meatballs, it was delicious. We had the cold eggplant appetizer, along with calamari, both were good. Everything was complimented by a nice bottle of Steele Merlot. The only thing missing was the live jazz guitar that I'd come to expect on Saturdays. I'm hoping that the absence was temporary. If you're planning on eating there for the first time, I'd recommend reservations on Fridays and Saturdays. They have a very nice lounge/bar and outdoor dining. Also, the sign on the door reminds you to leave children 8 and under at home.

Wow. This has to be the best Italian food I've eaten in a long time. Maggiano's had an 1.75 hour wait so we decided to bring up Yelp and venture out. Glad we did. I believe most everything here is homemade including their pasta noodles and sauces. The lasagna was to die for and my wife licked the plate (not really) of her homemade tortellini. The authentic experience was certainly helped along with the thick Italian accent of our waiter (Thanks Michael!). It felt like we were in Italy. 5-stars says you gotta stop by here when you're in the area.

This was the best meal I had on our trip to Indianapolis. First off, the dining room is beautiful. We went in on Labor Day so there weren't many people there, just a few tables. We split the Caprese-- perfect. Great tomatoes, fresh moz, and served with olive oil. They brought the balsamic on the side-- which definitely earns points in my book, since I don't like it. I had the ravioli aurora. It was great, although a little al dente, even for me. I was surprised when I cut in and it was green filling; I suppose I expected a traditional ricotta filling with spinach bits throughout, but this was spinach purreed with ricotta. It definitely made for an intense spinach flavor, but I really liked it. My husband had the gnocchi and it was just the texture we like-- chewy and maybe a little dense, I don't like my gnocchi light as air. The sauce on both were a similar tomato cream sauce and were very fresh and flavorful. The only reason this place doesn't get a fifth star from me was the extremely off putting sign off front. Under the hours of operation it says, "children over 8 welcome." I don't know if this is normal in the area, but I have never seen it before and it was a little pretentious. We had (LUCKILY!) left our 1.5 year old at home with family, as we had intended to take her but she fell asleep. What a disappointment it would have been to have to turn around and leave had we had her. I can understand where the managment is coming from, but I also take responsibilty for my child when in a dining institution and will jump up and take her out in a moment if she were being disruptive.

Wow....What a place. What great food! I was worried when I read the reviews about the questionable service, but when I arrived for my sister-in-laws rehearsal dinner, I was pleasantly surprised with the food! The kids loved the lasagna. My wife loved the gnoochi. I thought the stuffed veal was fantastic! Although it does have a lot of garlic in the dish, I couldn't stop eating and had a second serving! The appetizers were also very good....Capri did a great job as the host restaurant for this event and I will go back the next time I am in Indianapolis.

My girlfriend and I decided to have a lovely date night, and decided to do something Italian. Doing what I know best, I hit yelp looking for a good Italian restaurant. Capri was awesome! We sat out on the patio and were very well taken care of. We split a bottle of Chianti which went very well with our dinners. We had the gnocchi and the spinach ravioli, both of which were cooked perfectly and offered in great sized portions. The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars was that the sauce was a little bit heavy tasting. All in all, a perfect place for a date or a night out!

Capri is a great place to take people from out of town or who have never been. It's tucked near a Walmart so expectations are low upon pulling in. However the ambiance is very nice. Sit on the bar side and you get big padded easy chairs that you sink into and an intimate atmosphere. The wait staff has been solid every time we've gone. The food is just delicious. One of the owners usually comes around to talk to everyone with a heavy authentic Italian accent. Overall very cool and we take all our friends and relatives who are worthy to Capri!

New in town and had a taste for Italian. I read the reviews and decided to go for it. It is easy to get to off of 465 and Keystone. The interior is warm and inviting. I had chicken with Italian sausage and mushrooms and was completely satisfied. The reviews are true, it's good, home made Italian.

First of all I would like to start by saying that I have been to this restaurant several times and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere so i have always made exceptions for the bad service. This last experience was finally too much to take. Our waitress described a wonderful ravioli special that came with a "white wine cream sauce", so when it came out with a red sausage sauce I asked to return it. Being a vegetarian I am very attentive to dish descriptions. First the waitress told me I was wrong about what (we all) heard her describe, she then returned with a plate of ravioli with no sauce at all! An obvious go @$%# yourself from the chef. To top it all off a major source of contention for me has been that in all the times we have been there the owner has never once said anything to us as we left, no thank you, no have a nice evening, no nothing that you would expect from a business owner who actually cared about his customers. So after getting this oh so familiar treatment I decided to share with him how overwhelmingly disappointing our experience was his response and I quote- was "good". That pretty much says it all don't you think...

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Ugg...I hate giving restaurants 2 star reviews...and to a restaurant who consistently hits Indianapolis Monthly's Top 25...a shame. After reading yelp reviews and as a recommendation from a friend I though this was going to be the perfect Anniversary Date....Disappointment City.... The Good: The ambiance, old school, white table cloth, black and white bow tied servers, old wood, impressive wine wall, and an Fancy Italian Espresso Machine that sits perched in the middle of their dining room. My pondering are whether this large copper dream machine still produces the espresso from the old country?! The Bad: Our arrival experience went like this: We arrived with a party in front of us and just inside the door on the right hand side there is a bench whose intended purpose I can only surmise is for waiting guests. But who should I see sitting there--no not guests-- it more looked like a penalty box of servers dressed in white with hands on knees as if to say, "Put me in coach!". The host was away seating another table while we waited to be checked in at the host stand. While the host was away a bold benched server approached asking if we had reservations. I gave him our name and seemed slightly confused as to whether he had our reservation or not. After I asked him if he had our reservation or not he said "Yes, I think so, we just need to figure out where we are going to put you. We have a very busy night ahead of us with lots of reservations." He mumbled something and my wife and I looked confused at one another trying to discern whether or not he asked us to follow him or not. Another benched server got up and indicated we should have followed him. We were sloppily passed off to the host who ironically enough was the owner. The owner did not say one word or even make eye contact with us but sat our table of two right next to a 12 top and 16 top...romantic... Oh dear...so the arrival experience wasn't perfect... The benched server who first approached us at the door approaches us now and says, "I guess I will be your server." Don't get me wrong Mr. Scoto, was a very nice gentleman...just very confused about restaurant operations. He mentions the specials to us as we inquire if the bar could make a Bellini. Poor Scoto was unfamiliar with Bellini's and was very careful to ask the spelling so he could inquire of the bar whether or not they could make. 20 minutes later he comes back to tell us that they could not find their peach schnapps but perhaps my wife would like a glass of wine instead. She declined and ordered a Italian Margarita. He also mentioned that he made a mistake and told us yesterday's specials am not sure if Scotto was new or if he had ever really waited on a table before. His menu knowledge was sub par and were left to only hope the food was going to be out of this world. The UGLY: I am of the opinion that I do not mind the wait so long as the food is excellent. I will be happy to wait an hour for an entree that borders on modern art in form and taste. However, my Yelping Cohorts, I am sorry to have left you on the edge of your seat during this Shakespearean Tragedy but I am afraid that the final nail in the coffin was that the food when it arrived to the table was cold...not luke warm--cold. Does it even matter what entree we ordered? I don't think it does...food cold are you serious? I asked for the check....and we left. I didn't even bother to tell the owner because nobody bothered to ask how our meal was including our server. And I am sad to say the owner didn't seem to concerned about us when he sat us our table in the first place.... I am sorry to disappoint all of you who hold this restaurant near and dear to your heart as a staple to north side Indy. I am willing to say this could be an off night...but an off night for the owner as well? It grieves me to say but I was left with a lackluster impression that was without magic. Though this happened to be our anniversary we did not let the fun stop there we went to another favorite restaurant to order desert and coffee where we could continue enjoying each others company. Maybe we'll be back far in the future and give this one another go but....yikes....

We have enjoyed Capri over the years and still value its ambiance. Our last visit, however, made me wonder whether it has begun the slide common to aging restaurants. Our first disappointment on a Monday night was that our favorite appetizer, a combination of dry salami and hard Provolone, was not available. We opted for the Calamari Fritti, which proved to be stale and tasteless, accompanied by a bland sauce that tasted like it had just come out of a Hunt's can. My wife ordered one special - a lamb and noodles entree - that was very good. I ordered another special, chicken lasagna, and was not pleased. The lasagna was bland and mushy, with no particular flavor. Even the rolls brought to the table had no distinction. The best part of the entire meal for me was the dressing on the house salad. This was a sad comedown from past meals, which had been joyous. I was further saddened by the management's failure to respond to an email about our experience. Ciao, Capri.
(2)Bill J.
I hadn't been to Capri in over a year and was in the mood for something different, some Italian food, etc. so I made reservations. I had a chicken dish, really can't remember which one...it was THAT forgettable. Bland, a little on the dry side, presentation was nothing special at all. My dining companion had one of the specials, spaghetti & meatballs. You'd think it would be out of this world at an Italian restaurant, but again, very bland. The meatballs were very small and had a dry texture. Not quite enough sauce on the pasta, either. Salads were average. We skipped dessert after having such a mediocre dinner. We laughed as we drove away...we would have gotten a better meal at The Olive Garden. The place was empty on a Saturday night from 7:30 PM - 8:45 PM, literally only two or three other tables had people seated at them and maybe two or three people were in the bar.
(2)Brandon P.
This place is pretty popular, but I was not impressed. Probably my least favorite Italian restaurant I've ever been to. Ambiance is nice, but the food is overpriced and I got pretty bad service. The chicken I got was a strange color and tasted disgusting. Did not enjoy my dinner, so I was hoping the desert would be decent, but it wasn't. I got a cannoli and it was just not good. Definitely won't be back to this place.

I hate giving out a one star review, particularly to a locally-owned, independent business. But you have to do just a little more than take my money and serve me boring food to earn those stars! Living nearby Matteo's in Noblesville, and being a big fan, I was excited to try Capri (owned by Matteo's older brother). The restaurant itself was comfortable and attractive, with a warm and rustic ambiance. I was dining with some friends on a Monday night, and we were one table along with perhaps six other tables seated in the huge main dining area. Not busy at all. After fulfilling our wine order, the waiter came back to the table and tersely asked "Do you know what you want?" When I asked him if there were specials, his answer was "lasagna, lamb and fish." I swear to God, my jaw dropped. When I asked him to elaborate, he responded with "chicken, demi-glace, white fish in a sauce." I ordered lasagna. Matteo's serves the best I've ever had, so I was hoping they'd share a similar recipe. It looked good when brought to the table. The waiter offered parmesan cheese, and after I saw the huge amount he spread over my friend's plate, I asked for "a very light sprinkle." I honestly think he did this to spite me ... he dug that spoon deep into the bowl of cheese and threw about 3 tablespoons of cheese on my lasagna! I scraped much of it off, thinking I'd prefer to taste the entree and not just the cheese. However, after a few bites of the bland and dry lasagna, I started to scoop that cheese back on! It needed any flavor it could get. The best part of the evening was the room and the company. For the meal and the service, I would've enjoyed myself better just about anywhere else. Next time, I'm dragging my friends up to Noblesville!

I've been coming to Capri with my husband for quite some time, we both love this place. The atmosphere is just fabulous and the staff is very attentive and always friendly to us. The rolls are amazing and the pasta is to die for. I really enjoy their tomato cream sauce especially. All I really have to say is that you have to try this place to understand what I mean. My husband and I enjoy our Capri nights, we come to enjoy a great glass of wine, the atmosphere and leave stuffed from delicious food and happy.
(4)Matthew W.
One of the best restaurants in Indy. My girlfriend and I split a pasta as a starter and the veal as a main course. It was a great amount for the two of us. It was kind of expensive, but much higher quality than at a similar price point in Indy. Certainly the best Italian (and only authentic Italian) in town.
(5)Morgan D.
Blue cheese stuffed olives in my martini, thank you very much. Deliciously rich cream sauce on my handmade tortellini, I'm drooling. Spumoni ice cream, it melts in my mouth. Can you tell that I love this place? Capri is a family favorite and whenever I visit they make reservations. Some of the best Italian I've ever had. Just go, you will not be disappointed. In fact, bring a date... they will appreciate it and maybe you'll even get lucky.
(5)Dan L.
Never had a bad meal...
(5)Lorand M.
Without question the best Italian in the area...mostly due to the fresh pasta....c'mon on....most every Italian restaurant in Indy has served dry pasta...really not acceptable these days ! Kitchen has cooked everything absolutely perfectly....at least to this Golden Corral educated palette. Brilliantly creative and changing "specials"....example....roasted beat ravioli....ravioli stuffed with a ground fish/tomato/cream sauce that was unbelievable. Every fish dish I have had has been perfectly cooked. Superb, professional, unhurried service....friendly without having to exchange Facebooks.....very good with the GF's kiddos. Kid friendly in the dining room. Excellent espresso....which is all to often of secondary...or thirdary....importance in other restaurants around town. My only suggestion ?? Improve the wines by the glass. There is no reason not to rotate interesting wines BTG.....we eat there about once every week or 10 days..but would likely eat more often if the wines were a bit more interesting.
(5)Simon M.
This is an established Italian restaurant that has been around a long time and we have visited a few times over the years. The food and service are both excellent. The ambiance is that of a family owned restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. We were with a group of seven and all loved their meals. I had a caprese salad and broccoli soup. The soup was vegetarian and had a great creamy taste. I need the recipe! My wife had the seafood salad with three different fish and loved it. A little pricey at $17. The dressing contained garlic, which we should have asked about since she cannot handle that very well. We had a bottle of the house Cabernet Sauvignon at $29. All-in-all a satisfying experience.

Like being in Italy. The tuna special to night was superb. Capri is always great. The hot rolls are delicious, the chicken saltimbucco, the chicken lasagna and much more

Excellent food. Excellent service. I love this place. I stopped by last week for a social event, and to say that I was impressed is an understatement. Wow. This place is great. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. I especially loved the Grano Padano con Prosciutto e Olive. I'll be back for sure.

(4)Leslie H.
Hands down..the best and most authentic Italian restaurant in Indy. Service is phenomenal, pastas are hand made, soup made out of scratch, meat and seafood are fresh, desserts are made by the owner's mom. They also have a wood oven and you can order pizza which is part of their secret menu. Must try: calamari, pasta negra (specials), and tiramisu.
(5)Lauren L.
I have to give Capri some stars strictly on the service we received while dining, it was impeccable. Our waitress was so knowledgeable on the menu and specials, she was helpful and patient as we made up our minds. We had mozzarella Caprese salad for appetizers. Nothing amazing but definitely fresh. I saw someone's asparagus soup and wanted a little cup, very chunky and nothing flavorful. Was not impressed. I ordered the Salmon fetticine for my main course, yummy but a little dry.
(3)Rob B.
I hadn't been in over a decade so we decided to give Capri another try. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for $12 which I thought was pricey. Little did I know that it was, in fact, A stuffed mushroom, cut in half for us to split (if there were 4 of us would it have been in quarters?).Drenched in basalmic to the point of overpowering, I couldn't get it down. The entrees were a further let down. With the food being so bad I had know idea why the waiter was being so pretentious. All in all, a decade wasn't long enough.
(2)Adam W.
Perhaps best Italian in Indy. Great atmosphere and service. One of the pasta specials tonight was off the charts. A ravioli stuffed with sausage and shiitake mushrooms. WOW! .
(5)Gail G.
My son had been there before with us and wanted to have his 30th birthday dinner at Capri. I made reservations 2 months in advance and they said, for a party of 8, only 6:00 PM was available. Alright. We got there and the restaurant was empty. They sat us in the back corner. The ceiling above us was under construction. Somewhere between appetizers and the main course, our waiter changed. No explanation. I felt bad. It was not the experience we had on our previous trips to Capri.
(3)Ben R.
Like most have said, gotta give at least 4 stars based on service, and atmosphere alone. If going with family, you'll have to sit on the family side, which means much less comfy chairs, but that's it. I've sat in both sides, and the bar side. Bar side the chairs are almost too comfy. Hard to leave! The service, on either side, is impeccable. Very knowledgeable about the food/specials/the place itself. And of course they know their stuff when it comes to wine. That's a plus for this guy. Menu is fairly simple, in that it's not overly crowded with the same dish cooked 10 different ways. I opted for the specials both times, as they have some awesome specials as well as regular menu options. I am VERY picky about my Italian. So when I overheard a guy behind me saying to his friends that he was going to have to talk to the owner about how to make gnocchi, because the cooks used too much flour, I just rolled my eyes. "this guy hasn't been to Italy more than me, how could he know what the Hell Italian should taste like"???? LOL! (that's a jab at my ego there...) But he was right! Couldn't believe it! I had the special hand made ravioli, stuffed with saaaaasage, and cremini mushroom sauce. It was fine, BUT the pasta was WAY to thick and doughy. I gave it a 3 outta 5. Time before I had Petto di pollo valdostano, (chicken with prosciutt) and was a 5 outta 5 for sure. Next time I could just order off the antipast list. It is amazing! Hand made Italian cold cuts, cheeses, olives, the whole shabang. I haven't had one antipast that let me down. And I've had 5. Treat yourself and go!
(4)Jeff B.
This is the best Italian in Indy. The key is the pasta is made in house. Anyone can boil pre-made boxed noodles. But the fresh pasta is the difference, and the delicious sauces put this place over the top. The bread is baked on site too. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxing (no kids allowed) and the service is prompt and attentive without being overbearing. After eating here, you will judge other Italian restaurants by a different standard!
(5)Bryan W.
Please rest assured this review has nothing to do based on the food, If they just lowered their prices some, to be a bit more competetive, 5 stars easy. 5 stars for the food, 4 for the price. I went in on North Side Nights for their special menu. I had broccoli soup, fettucine with veal meatballs, and tiramisu. All the food was fresh, hand made noodles, hot and delicious. Great meal and the wine was fantastic. Great warm atmosphere, will definetely go back at some point.. I highly recommend this place
(4)D J.
Wife and I visited along with our dinner club of 12. Reservations set for 6:30. Service was what you would come to expect. We asked our waiter for recommendations. She was very knowledgable. Food tasted great. Loud atmosphere big room, tables are close together. We enjoyed our time and never felt rushed for second seating after 8:00.
(4)timothy n.
High expections.. not so great results.. looks great inside. Until you actually look. Wires hanging from ceiling. . Dirty ceiling.. empty light areas where recessed lightint should be. Looks like they remodeled and never finished. What a shame.. hopefully food can make up for it. Food is nothing special.. not a great presentation. Taste was ok.. I wouod not pay 15 $ for ravioli again there..

Disclaimer: I am from Boston. With that being said one should also know that Boston has a large Italian-American population. I am one of them. Capri is the best restaurant I've eaten at thus far in Indy. This is excellent Italian no matter where you are in the country. Never had a bad meal, bad service, or a bad drink. House made pasta is excellent. Ever tried to make your own pasta? Yeah. It's pretty tough. That's why you go to places like this where the owner is actually from Italy, and can teach his staff to do it right. And when I say do it right, I mean making actual, real honest to goodness Italian. Ragu sauces, homemade pastas, ravioli, tortellini, bolognese, picatta, etc. etc. etc. Do youself a favor - get the cannoli. I repeat. get. the. cannoli. Might be on the ever so slightly pricey side, but it is still much, much cheaper than some of the other places I have paid for a sub par meal at. Places that were, mind you, touted as something outstanding. If you can, sit on the right side of the restaurant upon entering. More inviting atmosphere that I would describe as kind of a classy casual feeling. Overall with four drinks total, split app, two meals and a split dessert you'll spend about $75 give or take for two before tax and tip. You'll have some to take home too. A little piece of Boston's North End 10 minutes from my apartment, which was the same distance from me to the North End when I lived in Boston. Been eating there every other week since I got here 6 months ago and won't stop any time soon.

Atmosphere- Very cool, calm, and warm atmosphere. Very old school, and very classy. As someone previously mentioned, if you have the choice, definitely choose the lounge area to the right for your meal. It feels like you're in a cool lodge, or a classy speakeasy from the 30's. There's also a real, working fireplace in the lounge area that just compliments the whole style of this place. It's just, just, class through and through in this place. Waiters/Staff- Class, as well. I have been here a few times and every waiter/waitress I have had has been extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It's always a plus to have a server who knows the menu and when you ask a question about an item, they don't essentially, read the description back to you. Food- Well prepared, simple menu. When I say simple I mean their menu isn't littered with a ton of items you probably don't care about. They have enough items to suit everyone's tastes, and a small enough menu to feel confident that the chef picked these items because they are his specialties. Overall- Amazing place whose food is as quality as their service and atmosphere. A highly recommended dining experience in Indianapolis.

The best Italian place in Indy. The rolls are delicious, the pasta freshly made. I love the atmosphere of the bar area. Very swanky. I feel like Sinatra could walk in any moment. The staff isn't always super friendly, but I feel like they treat me like someone in Rome would treat me... I love the Ravioli Aurora. The tomato creme sauce is out of this world. I also recommend the sea bass special and my hubby always gets Penneta Boscaiola and then adds shrimp to the dish. Delicious!

I'd been searching around all day for a nice place for a cozy dinner on Labor Day. At my wits end, I came across Capri. And what a find. The location is funky. Off one of the main roads and nestled in between construction behind a Junior Achievement building and a Math + Science teaching center. But it's worth the weaving. There's a cute outdoor seating area for nice nights. But the treasure is inside. The tables and bar area are fancy and upscale without feeling too stick-up-your-ass. The service was amazing. Nothing was ever empty and nothing sat on our table when we were finished. Oh ~ and there is cake. Yes, there is. Save room for dessert. Trust me, suckers.

Thank you, Arturo!!! After being snubbed by some other Indy restaurants when trying to make a reservation, my stepfather advised me of this place Indy should be incredibly thankful for. From the decor to the food to the staff, everything was PERFECTION. We initially had a reservation for 6 that turned into 9, and we had no issue; they were incredibly accommodating to our every need. We started with a few bottles of presecco, this was a bachelorette party after all! For starters, while sipping on the presecco and decorating the bachelorette in her tiara for the evening, we had the calamari and artichoke. The calamari was lightly breaded with a marinara, very basic and simple but well done. The calamari wasn't drenched in batter so as to lose its taste but more of a light pan fry. The artichoke was the only average part of the meal--anywhere else it may have been a highlight. The orders for the table of 9 were a variety of main dishes, all of which received superb reviews--even from my younger sister who never finishes a meal ate every morsel of her penne pasta. I had the spaghetti and meatballs because I couldn't resist the description of homemade veal meatballs AND homemade pasta. I try to avoid ordering pasta at a restaurant but it was well worth it. The table also shared a couple of great, moderately priced wines. They had a nice selection. Before ordering our desserts, our waiter--who was one of the best serves I've ever had--leaned in to me and asked if we wanted a little time after the table cleared so the bride to be could finish opening her gifts. He knew when to come and refill glasses and be around when something was needed and disappear without notice when the table had everything it needed. Perfection. BRAVO!

Moved here from NY several years ago and really miss the one of a kind Italian restaurants that you find all over the place there in the ocean of chains that represent the majority of local dining options here in Indy. Capri is a rare exception. The service, atmosphere, and food is top-flight. We've been back several times but our visit today was remarkable. My wife and I arrived very early for dinner and had the place mostly to ourselves. We had a great meal with attentive service and were very impressed by the care that the entire team was taking to prepare the restaurant for the Saturday evening crowd. Every glass was polished by hand, every place setting was inspected, the outdoor patio was swept and the portico vines trimmed by a small team, and the restaurant management was fully engaged making sure that all employees were prepared to make the evening special for every customer. I love to see that type of commitment and it provided a great insight into the consistently great experience we have dining at Capri.

So as usual, my vegan better half will make an appearance in this review. I'd been wanting to try this place after several friends had recommended it, but wasn't sure the herbivore would endure. I called ahead to ask if they could accommodate my vegan date and they assured me they could. When we arrived, not only did they remember me calling, but also had a menu ready to point out the vegan-modifiable dishes. The manager (or owner, I'm not sure) actually seemed to enjoy the challenge and let us know about a few other Italian staples that are plant-based. The food was SO amazing-- loved the old fashioned ambiance, and my boyfriend really enjoyed the penne puttanesca. Great wine list, outstanding menu. Italian dishes were a fixture in my household growing up, so I'm so glad to have found a neighborhood spot that I can take my beau to. Buon appetito!

Capri is the BEST Italian restaurant in Indianapolis. Service is provided by "old fashion" waiters and waitresses who are professionals and take great pride in their service and knowledge. The food is totally worth the price. Homemade pastas, amazing sardines, and fish or shellfish that is always fresh. I love the bar area in the rainy or winter season since there is always a lovely fire burning in their stone fireplace. Their wine list is good, would like to see that improve as we enjoy great Italian wines. The restaurant has easy parking, but is tucked in behind a few other buildings, so it can be hard to find your first visit. In the summer there is a great outdoor seating area to enjoy. Highly recommend this gem.
(5)James B.
Meh, no kids and pretense - seems a lot of hub bub about a slightly above average spot. My wife and I took our date night here and it was kind of a waste. Don't get me wrong it's tasty food and better than Maggianos but in a city like NY or Chicago this place would be out of business.

I love, love, love Capri. I've been here a few times, but the last time I was here we went all-out for dinner. This is a great place to celebrate with a loved one for things like anniversaries or birthdays. If you can afford it, I suggest buying a bottle of wine, doing the appetizers, a dinner, and after-dinner drinks or dessert. (That ran us around $170 with tip for 2 people, although we did purchase a more expensive bottle of wine.) If you don't feel like dropping a bunch of cash, don't fear! It's just as enjoyable to go for lunch and have a pasta dish. Their spaghetti bolognese is my favorite Italian dish in Indy. We went around 6 pm on a Saturday and there was no need to make a reservation. However, by 7 the patio was pretty full. If you're interested in dining around 7 on a weekend I would suggest calling ahead.

My family and I met friends here for dinner based upon prior reviews... We were not disappointed! My daughter loved her spaghetti bolognese, I had the mussels. Service was very good. Bread with oil brought out early :). Nice wine list, albeit pricey. The restaurant is a little hard to find as its behind other buildings. Very professional wait staff. Definitely don't miss this one.
(5)Marc M.
Always a great meal and wine list continues to get better. Visited many times and when we look around at all off the plates, not a drop left on any. Pastas are fresh, meat or fish is always good, and bread is hot and made fresh. A staple for anyone!

The food and atmosphere at this Italian restaurant was excellent. Service was really good as well. I am used to really good Italian food being from Chicago but I have to admit that this did not disappoint. The wine selection was extensive although many of the wines were quite high in price. I had the special which was a veal stuffed cannelloni dish and it was very well prepared. I also ordered a bottle of the Chianti for around $35 and that complemented the food very well. I would suggest this restaurant for anyone looking for a good meal with friends, significant other, or even a first date.

Made my first visit to Capri on a Saturday for an early dinner before show at Clowes. My SO suggested and I and glad she did, it exceeded my expectations. We did not have a reservation but it was only 5:30 so we had no problem getting a table. The server arrived immediately with water and then gave us a moment before taking our drink order, I opted for a gin martini while my SO stuck with water. We studied the menu and a few minutes later our server returned with my martini and shared a very long list of specials he had memorized. We ordered a stuffed portabella and continued to mull over the menu, after a few minutes he reined and we placed our order, I opted for the veal Osso buco while mSO selected the seafood stuffed pasta. Our starter arrived a few moments later and it was one of my favorite stuffed mushrooms ever, the large cap was stuffed with a generous amount of a seasoned ground chicken, cheese, and topped with a very nice balsamic dressing. When I go back I will definitely order this again. Or server was kind enough to cut and plate the starter for each of us since we were sharing. Our dinners arrived and I ate every bite of my Osso Buco, the meat was tender and flavorful and the sauce was good, I did not care much for the mixed veggies and scalloped potatoes that came with. My SO enjoyed her seafood pasta and was happy to find a place that did not use heavy cream sauces in all seafood dishes. We very much enjoyed the food and service at Capri.

My wife & I dined here on New Year's Eve - very unimpressed overall. We were seated next to a drafty window overlooking some construction trash. No cocktail menu, but they did have a full bar. Our server was very slow. The highlight of the meal was my wife's chicken dish. I ordered the ravioli in tomato cream sauce, which was unremarkable at best. Some of the ravioli were undercooked. We had ordered a bottle of wine, but it wasn't brought until we were nearly done with our entrees, so we sent it back. We ordered chocolate cake for desert, and were brought something that in no way resembled the menu's description. When we tried to send it back, we were treated to a heated discussion between the manager and our server in italian. Despite not getting our wine and sending back our desert, our bill still managed to get close to $100 for two cocktails and two entrees. No grazie. If you're in the mood for italian, head north to J. Razzos.

Nice, old-school Italian restaurant with good service. I had dinner in the private party room, for a private function. We were served family-style, so there was plenty of food to go around. Overall, flavors were good but some of the textural elements were missing from the pasta dishes. - Antipasto Buffet Table - Bruschetta - House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette - Chicken Lasagna - Leg of Lamb - "Tortellino alla Papalina"

Shocking really - and in a great way! Capri is among the best dining experiences in Indianapolis or anywhere else for that matter. Further, it is authentic Italian dining (yes yes, I've eaten many meals in Italy). The food is always very good. I love Prosciutto and Mozzarella and they prepare this dish to perfection: Warm roles on the side with butter. Very fresh lean prosciutto, fresh and moist mozzarella, drizzle of olive oil and garnished with artichoke and olives - perfect. When serving soup for one, they bring two spoons for sharing without being asked. These little touches and attention to details do not go unnoticed. Cream of potato and leak soup - fantastic. Much of the staff speaks Italian. All of the wait staff dresses in black and white with a vest and tie - very professional and cool. Outstanding dining value and attention to detail in a world rife one size fits all and places like 5 Guys, Olive Garden and Outback Steakhouse.

We went to Capri with some friends on Sunday afternoon. We were the only ones there. The place was beautiful. The colors were very comforting. The waitress was very friendly and knew the menu. One of us has a nut and chive allergy. She knew what to avoid. We got calamari and a antipasti Secca alla Calabrese Homemade Dry Salami & Aged Provolone Cheese to start. The calamari was good, but have had much better. The cheese on the antipasti was alright, the meat was right down rubbery. Two of us ordered Petto di Pollo Valdostano the others got Tagliatelle del Contadino. The Pollo or chicken dish made us both think of a very bad wedding reception dish. The chicken was pale, looked like when you boil chicken in just water, the sauce had no flavor. The menu said cream sauce with sage. No sage was tasted. This came with a side of green beans and carrots. The green beans were the best part. The others with the pasta dish said they like it. My God Son ordered the spaghetti and pomodoro sauce. I thought his tasted very good. All in all we spent something like 130 + $ on Sunday lunch. No alcohol either for that price. We will not be going back. Much better food at Iaria's, Mama Carolla's or even Fazoli's.

It is difficult to imagine that one could find a better Italian dining experience than Capri - and I don't mean just in Indy. The dining area is cozy. The patio is charming with its white lights and vines (even if it does overlook a parking lot); The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Most importantly, the food is authentic and excellent - homemade pasta, freshly made sauces, perfectly cooked meats and vegetables. Last night, the special was a beef lasagna (not ground beef - REAL roasted and chopped beef!). The texture of the beef with the homemade pasta and sauce was amazing. Hubby's steak was perfectly cooked and served with an excellent mushroom and wine sauce. We ended with a little limoncello. A wonderful evening. On previous visits, we have enjoyed chicken and shimp dishes and had similarly enjoyable experiences.

Wonderful place. Nine of us dined at Capri last night, and we all agreed that this place is superb. The true test of an Italian restaurant, IMHO, is how they do eggplant. The eggplant appetizer "Melanze parmigiana" (which is a big enough portion to be an entree) was done to perfection. Perfectly cooked and saused, with just the right spices. The "Grana Podanno con Prosciutto e olive" and the "Carciofi Marinati" appetizers were also completely consumed with abandon by the group. I chose the Veal Pizziola as my entree, and was not dissapointed. The veal was tender and flavorful and the pizziola sauce was perfect. The dish was accompanied on the plate with a portion of potatoes au-gratin with a very creamy goodness and a serving of green beans with just the right "crunch". Some of the other entree choices by my dinner companions included: spaghetti with veal meatballs, Ravioli Aurora, Pollo con Salsiccia, Picata di vitello a limone, and Filleto dell' Alpino. By the end of the meal, no "doggie bags" were required, because every thing had been happily consumed. My dinner companions were sophisticated world travelers, with "educated" palates, and we have all been to Italy many times, and some of us are actually Italian, or want to be. And we all agree that Capri is a true gem in Indianapolis. This is a great restaurant.

The best Italian food in Indy! And maybe better than any I've had in my hometown of Cincy. The experience, the atmosphere, the wait-staff were all very good. The portion sizes are very good but not over zealous. They do not compromise volume of food for quality like many Italian restaurants. The quality of the food and the skill of the chef shine through in the food. We had the ravioli aurora dish which was absolutely incredible as well as the perfectly textured gnocchi. We also has the spaghetti bolognese which was cooked the perfect level of al dente. Definitely make a reservation here since they seemed to be very busy on a saturday night.
(5)James S.
Best Veal in the city. Great service with a comfortable feeling in the bar. Well poured cocktails. Can't get any better than this.
(5)Kate W.
Wow after all these other great reviews I was excited to get some simple delicious Italian food with great service but I was sorely disappointed. My most basic review is that this food was on par with Olive Garden which is fine if that is what you want. The ambiance was nice and the prices where a little high. On a good side. We sat outside on a beautiful night and their patio was great. The food is what earned the one star. The food was not good nor did the menu offer anything interesting. I ordered a penne with basil and light red sauce. The noodles were a little overcooked, the red sauce was too cream,y and there was no hint of spice anywhere near my food. I had to ask for parmesan and could not get salt or pepper. My husband's chicken, sun dried tomato and fettucini dish was no better. Completely lacking in flavor. The rolls however were the BEST part (which you gotta admit is pretty sad). The service was horrible. The waiter looked like he had far too many tables and just could not get his act together. It took forever to get anything and he ran through the specials so fast I couldn't understand any of them. One of my first experiences where the yelp reviews just did not seem to match. (P.S. I felt a little bad for this negative review and tried to edit it to make it nicer but I just couldn't do it. The food was not good.)

How can it be that no one has reviewed the restaurant that served the best meal I have eaten in Indy??!! So it next to Walmart, behind a strip mall. Had no idea what to expect, but found white table clothes, real fire place, great wood paneling and bar. Sat at the bar and ordered the Pappardelle with wild boar and a club soda. Several years ago I saw Wings of Desire and I still remember floating out of the theater all of the way home. To me that is the feeling you hope to achieve after a good meal, you just float home. You are transformed. Well, my pasta was that good.
(4)Dave S.
Quiet with a rustic feel. Attentive servers and delicious food. Their wine suggestions were a bit off, but, hey--that's subjective anyway.
(4)J. W.
I really enjoy the Capri when eating out in Indy. It's locally owned, it employees professional servers, it has a very nice atmosphere, and they often have entertainment. While I've been here 10+ times, my most recent dinner met my high expectations. I enjoyed homemade spaghetti with veal meatballs, it was delicious. We had the cold eggplant appetizer, along with calamari, both were good. Everything was complimented by a nice bottle of Steele Merlot. The only thing missing was the live jazz guitar that I'd come to expect on Saturdays. I'm hoping that the absence was temporary. If you're planning on eating there for the first time, I'd recommend reservations on Fridays and Saturdays. They have a very nice lounge/bar and outdoor dining. Also, the sign on the door reminds you to leave children 8 and under at home.
(5)Matthew S.
Wow. This has to be the best Italian food I've eaten in a long time. Maggiano's had an 1.75 hour wait so we decided to bring up Yelp and venture out. Glad we did. I believe most everything here is homemade including their pasta noodles and sauces. The lasagna was to die for and my wife licked the plate (not really) of her homemade tortellini. The authentic experience was certainly helped along with the thick Italian accent of our waiter (Thanks Michael!). It felt like we were in Italy. 5-stars says you gotta stop by here when you're in the area.

This was the best meal I had on our trip to Indianapolis. First off, the dining room is beautiful. We went in on Labor Day so there weren't many people there, just a few tables. We split the Caprese-- perfect. Great tomatoes, fresh moz, and served with olive oil. They brought the balsamic on the side-- which definitely earns points in my book, since I don't like it. I had the ravioli aurora. It was great, although a little al dente, even for me. I was surprised when I cut in and it was green filling; I suppose I expected a traditional ricotta filling with spinach bits throughout, but this was spinach purreed with ricotta. It definitely made for an intense spinach flavor, but I really liked it. My husband had the gnocchi and it was just the texture we like-- chewy and maybe a little dense, I don't like my gnocchi light as air. The sauce on both were a similar tomato cream sauce and were very fresh and flavorful. The only reason this place doesn't get a fifth star from me was the extremely off putting sign off front. Under the hours of operation it says, "children over 8 welcome." I don't know if this is normal in the area, but I have never seen it before and it was a little pretentious. We had (LUCKILY!) left our 1.5 year old at home with family, as we had intended to take her but she fell asleep. What a disappointment it would have been to have to turn around and leave had we had her. I can understand where the managment is coming from, but I also take responsibilty for my child when in a dining institution and will jump up and take her out in a moment if she were being disruptive.

Wonderful atmosphere, service, and food. The waiters are exceptional. We eat out often and this is by far our favorite place.
(5)Penumbra E.
Wow....What a place. What great food! I was worried when I read the reviews about the questionable service, but when I arrived for my sister-in-laws rehearsal dinner, I was pleasantly surprised with the food! The kids loved the lasagna. My wife loved the gnoochi. I thought the stuffed veal was fantastic! Although it does have a lot of garlic in the dish, I couldn't stop eating and had a second serving! The appetizers were also very good....Capri did a great job as the host restaurant for this event and I will go back the next time I am in Indianapolis.
(5)Jimmy W.
My girlfriend and I decided to have a lovely date night, and decided to do something Italian. Doing what I know best, I hit yelp looking for a good Italian restaurant. Capri was awesome! We sat out on the patio and were very well taken care of. We split a bottle of Chianti which went very well with our dinners. We had the gnocchi and the spinach ravioli, both of which were cooked perfectly and offered in great sized portions. The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars was that the sauce was a little bit heavy tasting. All in all, a perfect place for a date or a night out!
(4)Tom S.
Capri is a great place to take people from out of town or who have never been. It's tucked near a Walmart so expectations are low upon pulling in. However the ambiance is very nice. Sit on the bar side and you get big padded easy chairs that you sink into and an intimate atmosphere. The wait staff has been solid every time we've gone. The food is just delicious. One of the owners usually comes around to talk to everyone with a heavy authentic Italian accent. Overall very cool and we take all our friends and relatives who are worthy to Capri!
(5)Clemmie M.
New in town and had a taste for Italian. I read the reviews and decided to go for it. It is easy to get to off of 465 and Keystone. The interior is warm and inviting. I had chicken with Italian sausage and mushrooms and was completely satisfied. The reviews are true, it's good, home made Italian.
(4)erika w.
First of all I would like to start by saying that I have been to this restaurant several times and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere so i have always made exceptions for the bad service. This last experience was finally too much to take. Our waitress described a wonderful ravioli special that came with a "white wine cream sauce", so when it came out with a red sausage sauce I asked to return it. Being a vegetarian I am very attentive to dish descriptions. First the waitress told me I was wrong about what (we all) heard her describe, she then returned with a plate of ravioli with no sauce at all! An obvious go @$%# yourself from the chef. To top it all off a major source of contention for me has been that in all the times we have been there the owner has never once said anything to us as we left, no thank you, no have a nice evening, no nothing that you would expect from a business owner who actually cared about his customers. So after getting this oh so familiar treatment I decided to share with him how overwhelmingly disappointing our experience was his response and I quote- was "good". That pretty much says it all don't you think...
