My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food, however, did not... meet our expectations. We were very much looking forward to our evening, particularly due to the glowing reviews. I've neverhad authentic Italian food, so I cannot speak to how closely this measures up. I can say that what we had was very bland. Thebread was bland and came with an olive oil and parsley dip, no seasoning. The calamari was cooked perfectly, but had no flavor.The tomato dipping sauce that came with them was watery. For my main, I had the taglioline nerano, a popular dish recommended byour waitress. It pretty much just tasted like noodles in butter. The shrimp themselves really had no flavor. My wife had thescallops, which were cooked perfectly, but came with an overabundance of risotto, which she said tasted like it had no salt atall. I've been to Ireland and had authentic Irish food and a lot of it was bland, so I know some other countries don't seasontheir food as much as we Americans do. But as much as I appreciate authenticity, I also want food that tastes good. The serviceand the surroundings were great, but I think I'll stick with Olive Garden. Read more
Ciao Capri is a beautifully authentic Italian restaurant tucked away in henrico. We were seated by the window, table beautifully... set for 5. The owner was so friendly and welcoming to us. We enjoyed a complimentary bottle if wine (moscato) that was verynice. The appetizers were Caprese salad, very fresh and nice tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, and Calamari. Our entrees were,Risotto ai Frutti di Mare, Ravioli Quattro Formagg,and Taglioline Nerano (shrimp,pasta in a prolova cheese sauce) everything wasvery good. I recommend trying this place for a romantic dinner for two. Read more
Great service from Diego (our server). Everyone was friendly even the chef. The food was scrumptious! The blueberry/lemon... cheesecake was delectable. The food was so good I ordered several meals to go and another slice of cheesecake. The food was veryfresh and the pasta was homemade. Con: menu very limited but I guess that?s why they are able to focus on making everythingscrumptious. They do have daily/weekly chef specials that?s definitely a plus. Sorry no pic of my meal . It was so good I justdived right in. Read more
As always, the food was amazing. Exactly like it would be Italy! And the owners and staff are so welcoming! Grazie mille!
Ciao Capri is a truly authentic family run Italian restaurant with fantastic food and a great ambiance and environment to go... with it. Co-owner Alberto along his brother Peppino Mastromano do a fabulous job providing award winning cuisine while makingtheir guests feel like family. Peppino is the head chef and Alberto runs the front of the restaurant. It is clear from theattentiveness and warmth of the staff that they have been doing this a very long time and know how to make guests feel welcome.The bar area is very well done and is large enough to sit 20+ guests while the dinning room has dim lights and beautiful photosof Italy making you feel like you are there. I started off with a great glass of red wine and also an eggplant appetizer whichwas delicious and fresh bread with fresh home made pesto was a staple being offered to everyone with a flavorful importedbuttery olive oil. I had the ravioli for dinner which include fresh made pasta and a delicious tomato sauce and then finisheddinner with home made cannoli's. Dinner was magnificent and the service and Alberto's personal attention made us feel likeregular clients even though it was my first time there. Even though this place is located in a shopping mall the interiordecorating and warm friendly vibe will make you think you are in a small cafe in Capri, the island where both of the Mastromanobrothers are from originally and you will definitely be coming back to visit again. Great for families, friends and couples. Besure to say hi to Alberto and ask for his advice for a great wine as we did - you will not be disappointed! Read more
I visited Ciao Capri for the first time last week. It was a Thursday and they told us the bottle of wines are half price on... Thursday! Lucky us. We surely enjoyed a bottle recommended by them along our delicious handmade dishes. The owner & his familyare so friendly and kind. I would love to go back again very soon! Read more
