Reviews for Caffe Capri in East Rutherford, NJ
This is not a hidden gem, what a disaster! We got there and our waiter looked like he was asleep, took forever to bring us... drinks and take out order. The menu had one price but then when we got the bill everything was $5 more. I brought it up to theowners attention and he said that they didn’t get a chance to change the menus and that everything had gone up. I understandthat but we should have been given a heads up when they brought out the menu. After raising this to him he asked me to leave a 5star review online, I just laughed. Food was horrible, no taste and definitely not worth the price. $30 for one piece of chickenand some veggies. Won’t be back. Read more
Stay away from this place! First time we went there, food was good, and we decided to go back. Bad idea. We ordered a starter... for 2, a pizza (for me), and a salmon dish (for GF). Starter was OK. My pizza was not good at all (dry, canned mushrooms, etc).GF's plate arrived 5 minutes after mine. The fish was spoiled. She was offered to exchange it, and picked seafood linguine. Thenwe waited. And waited. And waited. It was 4PM on a Saturday, the place was almost empty, so they didn't have any excuse. Aftermore than a half hour, we lost patience, and decided to leave. I asked for the check, for the two items we had been served.Then, magically, the linguine appeared. We said we were leaving, we had had it. I paid for the starter and the pizza in cash($40, as per the menu), and we walked to our car. They called the police, and did not allow us to leave their parking, standingin the way to block the exit. Police arrived and listened to each side's story. When I showed the officer my Google Timeline,proving that we had been in there for 1h30, he walked in the restaurant, talked to the owner, came back, and said that it was upto us, we could either pay for the linguine and take it away, but no obligation, we could also leave. Which we did. I wish Icould give negative stars to those thugs. And 5 to the police. Read more
Excellent gourmet Italian food with nice service, but for the price, I wish the food had more flavor. Top tier dessert though -... 10/10 would recommend the cannoli Read more
Fantastic service from start to finish. We came in and we’re the only ones in the restaurant and our waiter really went the... extra mile to make our experience special, food was great to. Please don’t let the negative reviews sway you. This place is ahidden gem, give them some business. Read more
I don't give bad ratings but the service and treatment my family received is unacceptable. We had to send one dish back because... it was an undercooked fish. It was brought back not fixed after we asked to take it off the bill they put the dish half price.After asking for another adjustment the server came back saying that we don't need to leave a tip only for us to realize thatthe tip was already charged.

The sign in front of the place reads, “fine Italian cuisine,” which is far from what we received. The food was mediocre but... aside from that, the prices on the menu did not match the prices on our bill. Also, the waiter offered a kids menu and thencharged us $11 for 3 chicken tenders and $7 for a handful of French fries. I called the manager over and he stated that thoseare the prices because they don’t have a kids menu. I wish they would figure out what they were actually serving and come upwith one price list. Definitely more of a pizzeria vibe rather than a fancy Italian restaurant. Read more
I've been coming to this restaurant since my daughter was three years old. My daughter is now eleven. She loves to come here for... the amazing oven brick pizza and Pasta. Everybody should come and try their lunch special with their new home made focacciabread. With $13.00 dollars you can have a gourmet lunch???? besides the stuff goes above and beyond to please You, and Dominic*the owner* is the most friendly guy I've ever met. I Love the way he treats his customer. Overall Cafe Capri is our favoriteItalian restaurant in East Rutherford. Read more
Listen, everyone has there own good or bad experience. Truth be told not every chef or cook is on his or her A game or it... could even be a new chef. There's multiple reasons why you might've had a bad experience. Food wise or service. This is mysecond time ordering (haven't dined in person yet) and the food is phenomenal. So I can only imagine when I dine in at cafecapri. 2nd time me and my gf had the spaghetti carbonara and penne al a vodka. Both times we were very impressed! Read more
