We absolutely love the Capri, and it's my favourite restaurant when I'm really hungry. The food is amazing, authentic italian. The decor is like an old european taverna, with great italian pop music playing, and I always feel like I'm in a movie when I'm sitting in their dining room (I hear lots of movies have used the Capri as a filming location). If you have never gone, check it out. Whenever I'm there, and it has been often, the food, service and ambience are always wonderful. I have no idea how anyone could be in a bad mood and not enjoy their food in the Capri.
This the first review I have ever written regarding a restaurant but I want to warn others who may want to visit the Capri in Hamilton.
The Good: The only good thing about the entire occasion was the tea which was blueberry. It was very good even though I had to ask for some milk for it.
The Bad: The Italian salad. This was very poor since there was literally 1/4" of vinegar in the bottom of the bowl. At one point, I started gagging from the amount.
The Ugly: I ordered Penne with tomato sauce. The wait staff did not write anything down and, as such, brought out spaghetti with tomato sauce. When I told her that she had made a mistake, I was told that she thought that I had said spaghetti. No big deal but one could write down what the customer orders. Dah! She did come back with what I had ordered which was the penne and ate about 3 bites and gave up. The "sauce" was basically pink water. Dishwater would have had more taste. I told the wait staff that it was terrible, had no taste and was watery. I even offered her to taste it herself. She offered another dish, however, I was dubious about the quality of anything else. My husband and I waited for the bill and when presented were told that "he took off half of the penne". Half! I only ate a total of 3 bites and only half of the amount was removed? Needless to say that Capri is off our list. Too bad since in the past, the food was pretty good. Perhaps the management has changed.
Save your money Hamiltonians. Buy a jar of Prego and a package of penne/spaghetti yourself. You'll have a much better dinner!
I absolutely love Capri! I love that the decor hasn't changed from when I went there 20 years ago (although it is clean and they had some lovely seasonal decorations). Served by long-standing loyal eager to please staff. The antipasto tray with olives, meats and cheeses is one of the best I've had in the city. I enjoyed the caesar salad. I've had their veal parmg., risotto, lasagna, always very good. Lots of food and attentive service. Their pizza is consistently great - has been my favourite since the 80s. I'm so thrilled that places like this are still around. It's not new or glitzy, As I said, it is a traditional italian restaurant with long-standing, pleasant and warm staff. I will definitely return. I also go there annually for a Christmas dinner meeting.
Terrible Terrible .... TERRIBLE!!!
A group of us went out for a birthday party. I wish I had read some reviews on this place before we attended it. The worst experience, and the worst food. This place is the pits!
Service - It was bad for many reasons. Appetizers came out 2 at a time and they waited 10 mins before bringing out the rest , Same with dinner. When we asked why where the rest of our food was, she responded we have the food ready ahead of time, and we are still heating it up.. ( not appetizing ) The dinner a similar experience, one dish did not come out until 20 mins after the first ones!
Food - Garbage food. Comparable with food you would expect to find at a college cafeteria. Salads where saturated with dressing! The lettuce itself was also not fresh , with brown bits. The dinner itself looked as if they boiled some Unico pasta and added some canned sauce, it was oily , salty, but just plain terrible. Like I said I wish I read some reviews as many reviewers agree.
After all this the owner personally came out to say sorry to all of us for a terrible dinning experience and attempted to rectify the situation with a discount on our dinner. We had only complained about the service. The food was our own faults, since this is apparently their specialty, and we should have researched.
However what made the experience even worse when when I went to pay and person that was helping me pay commented on how rude I was. That was the icing on what was supposed to be a great night out with family and friends. I would never in my life go back to this restaurant, even if it was the last place on earth and I was starving to death.
I love the pizza bianca, affectionately called the caprizza in my family. Hubby held my 30th b-day with 20 friends in the back and everyone loved it. Thank you for another great night Capri!
I don't like the lasagna though :(
