Nice atmosphere and great location across from train station in downtown Downers. I had spaghetti and meatballs and my wife had lasagna. I would rate both dishes as average. My wife loves all things bananas, so we tried the bananas foster, which is cooked at the table by the server. It was uninspiring as is often the case with just about anything cooked at your table by the server (my experience as a diner and former waiter). Service was friendly and timely. I like Capri, but there are too many better choices for Italian in the area.
I was in with a party of 15 and our sever Nicki was great. She recommended the homemade rigatoni and it was a hit. I'll be back because of the freshness of my food and also her attentiveness to me and all of my guests.
Outstanding experience! We had my Mom's 90th birthday party in their private room this past Sunday. Brian was great, he and Armando helped us with choosing the menu, answered all of our questions and they were always available. The day of the party was even better than we could have hoped for! The food is delicious, they think of everything. Our servers that day were the best, Madeline & Rachel were always one step ahead, quickly clearing dishes and bringing out more food! They kept everything moving, such excellent service. If you are thinking about hosting a party here, or just going out to dinner, you will not be disappointed.
We had a really wonderful experience here. Our waitress Lindy was friendly and funny right off the bat. The Riesling was very tasty. Then we had the salmon Primavera special. The risotto was blue! And freaking delicious. My wife got the lobster ravioli and loved it too. Oh the bruscetta...amazing. Perfect soft yet crunchy and balsamic was perfect. Then the bananas foster...incredible. 100% want to come back asap. Only problem is I felt like I had to roll out I was so full
It was nice, staff outstanding and good food. You absolutely cannot get lost in there. No draft beer and the bottles were not nearly cold enough. Beyond the beer, no complaints. Thank you for having us.
