It was 32 degrees outside, but it was warm and welcoming inside! Capri Ristorante is your local Italian restaurant that you can come on week nights casually dressed. Yet it is a sophisticated, classy restaurant to bring a first date on a Friday or Saturday night. It was my sister's birthday, so my husband and I brought her to her favorite Italian restaurant, CAPRI. Each of us agreed that we had the BEST meal - each of us ordered the Rockfish with Shrimp and vegetables (which we done perfectly). Every bite was delicious. I mentioned the noise level - only because we were seated right beside four seniors who had to talk very loudly to be heard - by everyone. But, Bless their hearts, they were having fun. We will all be there someday. To end a perfect meal and time at Capri, the waiter brought a piece of cake with a candle for her birthday. Very thoughtful. Excellent all around.
