    For years, I have seen this restaurant from Butterfield Road and always wanted to try it. I am Italian American from New York, and am always looking for excellent authentic homemade Italian restaurants. I finally made it there and took party of three to the restaurant for my friend’s birthday and to check it out. Capri exceeded my expectations. The menu had so many great items to choose from. The dishes were very authentic Italian, and not like a Chicago Giordano’s menu. The food was delicious! Desserts scrumptious! The service was friendly, fantastic and fun! I am looking forward to returning to try other dishes on the extensive menu, along with the specials for the night.
