Ciao Capri

This is the best Italian food in central Virginia. I routinely take my family here for the best selection of authentic Italian food. The specials are amazing as well. The staff is very attentive and even during this awful pandemic, they are fully committed to being the best restaurant in the area. This is a must eat restaurant if you are in Henrico.

Good Italian food.... great service

Food that brings you back to Italy!nnI took my wife here for her birthday dinner, which is risky: trying a new restaurant on a special occasion. Adding some levels of difficulty to this endeavor:n- My wife was trained to cook in two different culinary schools in Italy.n- My last name is Capri.n- We were married on the Island of Capri, in Italy!nAll this to say that we were invested & our expectations were HIGH!!!nnBut the Mastromano brothers were born on Capri, and grew up there! And that comes through in the food!nnNot only is the food amazing, but the portions are, in true Italian-stereotypical fashion: bigger than you thought they would be!nnMy wife loved the wine pairing, saying that it was the perfect complement to what she ordered. Everything was fresh and wonderfully flavorful: from the ciabatta rolls and fresh pesto dip they brought with our drinks; to the meatballs (Polpetti di Peppino) we had as our appetizer; to our main courses (Ravioli Quattro Formaggi & Fettuccini al Ragú); to my wife’s cheesecake and the best cannoli I have ever had!nnAt the end of the night, we said “Ciao Capri!”nnBut, not for long!

Top quality Italian food. Our first visit we felt like family.

I have no idea why I hadn't heard of this place (probably because we live 30 min away) but it was amazing. If you are in the Richmond area and looking for great Italian - look no further! The service was amazing - attentive, able to answer questions about the food and really explain dishes, and so friendly! I had read other reviews about the great food but it was even better than we expected. Each dish had it's own sauce - it definitely was NOT lazy Italian where the same sauce is used on everything. The clams were unbelievable, the lasagna was perfectly constructed with the right amounts of cheese, meat, sauce, and fresh pasta, and the ravioli were delicious! They also have a great wine list and made a perfect negroni. We will definitely be going back again and again!
