Food: I would give the food 3.75 stars, there was more to be desired. Since this restaurant's claim is for authentic Italian food, my hopes were high. The sauce was very scarce with the seafood pasta and it was a little too 'al dente'. It was good, but I do think there is better Italian in the area. Would go back - going to try the pizza next time. Cocktails and mocktails were fantastic. Service: Service was good. Very polite and attentive. We had two servers which was interesting. Ambiance/ Atmosphere: Loved the decor and vibe in the restaurant. They had a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Would be a good place to go for drinks and an appetizer.

DO NOT GO THERE. They are prejudice and do now speak english well. Their customer service is beyond terrible. Place was near empty and said they couldn't sit us down because we didn't have a reservation. Then I tried to order takeout and they said they don't support takeout. I am a platinum amex card holder and I am used to dining at the top most exclusive VIP places in the entire world. Do not understand why we were discriminated against. Will never step foot in this establishment ever again.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Surprised by the quality of the food and service. I've been to Italy on three different occasions and the pizza reminds me of Florence. The buratta was fresh, the marinara was fantastic, and they made a great Negroni. Service was wonderful too. Great people there.

This hidden gem is about to become my new go-to when I have family in town!! I came at seven o'clock on a Wednesday with two friends and we were immediately sat outdoors, with a quick glance revealing the inside was full of happy customers. It was almost impossible to choose what to eat - the menu is only one page, but is chock full of delicious options. For drinks, I grabbed a Raspbellini, which was SO good. The flavors were perfectly balanced and it was easy to sip, even though it was strong. We were then brought focaccia dripping with olive oil as a starter and I could have eaten a whole loaf! For my main, I ended up with spaghetti and meatballs. The food was brought within ten minutes of our order, sizzling hot and absolutely delicious. The meatballs were so tasty and the sauce to noodle ratio was perfect - I would recommend it to anyone looking for an elevated comfort food. Finally, I got a tiramisu for dessert in the cutest little jar, about the size of my fist. It was so yummy and not too sweet, which I loved. The waitstaff constantly kept our water glasses full and made sure we were satisfied, which was NEVER in doubt. Dinner, drinks, and dessert for three plus tip came to about $200, and I would happily pay it again. So excited to come back!!

Wonderful Amalfi coast inspired Italian restaurant. Food was fantastic. Started with a traditional Caesar salad that was out of this world. Pastas were light and flavorful. Service was top notch and the ambiance was wonderfully vibrant. Definitely need to visit this little jewel.

I really, really, really wanted to love this restaurant...and after giving it two tries I have to say it falls short. People on this site have said that it is as good as the food in Italy, but they are wrong. On our first visit we tried the eggplant Parmesan appetizer and a pizza. The eggplant was okay...nowhere as good as my own (!) and the pizza was soggy with no crisp to the crust at all. So disappointing! Gave it another go for dinner last night feeling optimistic. Ordered a salad with raddicchio, endives, olives, cucumbers and a delicious honey-lemon dressing. For a minute I was hopeful. Out came the focaccia...definitely needed some s and p and some olive oil for dipping. For our entrees I ordered the linguini with clams and the husband ordered an appetizer portion of mussels and clams. Overall, both plates were tasteless. I kept adding salt to mine, but did not help much. Drinks were okay, server was nice, prices were high, menu items are limited. Gave it two shots...probably won't be back.

Food was really good, tasting authentically of Italy. Service was excellent. Filippo and Antonio were outstanding, constantly checking on us while not being overbearing. Plus they were very patient with my attempt at speaking Italian.

We have finally found our “place.” A wonderful spot that we can come to once a week to unwind, with amazing service, beautiful atmosphere, and delicious food. This is the restaurant in horizon west we’ve been waiting for.

The food tastes like you’re in Italy. The fish is fresh, seasoned perfectly, and cooked to perfection. The vegetables are bright and sweet. The pasta is perfect. The bar has a proper bartender/mixologist who crafts cocktails with care and flare (Edoardo from Roma). The vibe is warm and friendly. Simply Capri is now one of our favorite dining spots.

Our recent dinner at Simply Capri was an experience that transported us straight to the heart of Italy, from the comfort of our own city. Last week marked our first visit to this charming Italian restaurant, and it left us thoroughly impressed.Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by an Italian gentleman who directed us to our table. We were further delighted when we were served by an Italian waitress, reinforcing the authenticity of the place. These small, yet significant touches truly contributed to the immersive Italian dining experience.The restaurant was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable. The surroundings were just welcoming enough to make you feel like you could sit back, relax, and enjoy an evening of good food and wine.Speaking of food and wine, the selection at Simply Capri was phenomenal. Each dish we tasted was flavorful and cooked to perfection, leaving us craving more. The wine I chose was equally impressive, matching perfectly with the food and enhancing the overall dining experience.Our waiter was exceptional as well, providing excellent service throughout the evening. His attentiveness and professionalism greatly contributed to our positive experience.In conclusion, our dinner at Simply Capri was nothing short of incredible. It was a delightful immersion into Italian culture and cuisine, right in our hometown. We're eagerly looking forward to our next visit and we would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a genuine Italian dining experience.
