Never dissapointed - another great place to introduce people to. The food is FANTASTIC and the atmosphere is quant and romantic. Its also one of my favourites for delivery!
We did not dine in, but ordered take-out Pizza, then two weeks later delivery pizza. What a nice surprise the pizza from The Capri is! They even have the dough ball in the center so the the box top doesn't stick to pizza toppings in transit. All the ingredients were fresh. Vegetables are thinly sliced and dough is not heavy. Sauce is nice a mild so you can taste all the other ingredients. They put the cheese on top just like a Montreal pizza too! So to the ex-Montrealers - rejoice this is the only place in town I've discovered that does the cheese on top.
LOVED EVERY BITE we will RETURN FOR NEXT PIZZA NIGHT!
After hearing a lot about this restaurant from co-workers, my husband and I decided to try the place out.
The decor was nice, it was in between warm and inviting to a "this is a place where big families come to enjoy a good time and talk" type of atmosphere. We went on a not so busy Friday night a few weeks ago and were seated in okay timing but were left to wait for some time before our order was taken. Which wasn't a horrible wait, but found it a bit odd that the waiter who served us water was then more attentive to setting up tables than to the existing patrons. Again, we weren't in a big rush so it wasn't that big of a deal.
We both ordered the veal parmigiana with the pasta with meat sauce as the side and bruschetta to start. We quite enjoyed the bruschetta, the best I've tasted in a long time. The tomatoes were ripe and deliciously seasoned and the bread was nice and crisp! As with most Italian style restaurants we also got bread to accompany our main. Which were more like large deli-sized buns and were also very delicious and toasty warm.
The salad was nothing spectacular, but we were happy to get a salad included in our meal. There are a few other Italian style restaurants that do not offer this.
The veal was very yummy! It was well seasoned and very good. It was a very thin sliced but it took over my entire oval plate, so really, who could complain about that?
The meat sauce was a little disappointing, as we were expecting something very original from everything we heard from my coworkers. It was under-seasoned. We were expecting a sauce with chunks of tomatoes, but instead got a sauce that was very smooth with a little meat mixed in.
Overall the experience was "Adequate", meaning, it wasn't the greatest experience but other the positives did completely outweigh the negative ones and I do hope to go back for the bruschetta and try a dish without tomato sauce.
I had been craving good Italian food and had heard only good things about Capri. So, I went, and I was amazed at how low Hamiltonians' standards are if we believe that this is acceptable cuisine.
First, the watered down cocktail is something that you find in many restaurants, so I'm not holding it against them, but still, it should be mentioned that if you're going to waste your money, taste buds, and calories at Capri, stick to drinking water.
The bruschetta was unlike anything I've ever tasted. It was served on toasted sliced bread that had been left to cool to room temperature after being toasted. I've never encountered such preparation before. And the tomatoes were ice cold (anyone who knows anything about food does not store fresh tomatoes in the fridge) and had absolutely no seasoning.
The salad was a standard pile of lettuce with a few other veggies tossed on top; nothing to praise or criticize. It just was what it was.
I ordered squid marinara with penne. Their menu states that the calamari is "fresh." I had my doubts, but I'd been craving seafood, so I took a chance. As someone who spends half the year living in a coastal city, I know what fresh seafood tastes like, and this wasn't it. It had absolutely no flavour, indicating to me that it was from a frozen, manufactured bag; I could have had better calamari from my grocer's freezer. Never in my life, anywhere else in the word, have I had squid with no flavour. And the sauce... Oh dear... How can an Italian restaurant get away with passing off tomato soup as marinara sauce? Furthermore, the penne was a mixture of the smooth and lined types, clearly from two separate boxes of pasta, which I could have made at home for far less money. In order to give my meal a hint of flavour, I had to make excessive use of the pepper shaker on the table.
My dinner companions ordered the very small and limp vegetarian lasgna in the same tomato soup sauce and the breaded veal, which also had absolutely no seasoning; all my dinner guest could taste was oil.
Two enthusiastic thumbs down for Capri. If restaurantica would allow me to give it 0 stars, I would.
The Capri is one of Hamilton's best hidden secrets, they've been around for 40+ years and I've been eating their food for most of my life. Its always great, whether ordering to take out or dining in, the food and service is always the best! It seemed as though they were going through some tough times a few years back as the service and food lacked the usual kick it always had, but they've made some changes and fixed whatever was broke. I will continue to order from there or dine in as long as they are around!! The Bocconcini is theeeee Best that I've ever had, its AMAZING!!
