    Very cute and love the vibe here.. it's in the Plaza that has Garcia's they also have a small outside sitting... It's defin small so I suggest making reservations if your planning to go later in the evening..

    Very Surprised on how delicious this place was!! The Fried Calamari was by far one of the best I have had!! Lasagna was amazing!!! Definitely worth the drive from West Valley!!

    Bar Capri was new for me, its been open about a year now, owned by the same great folks next door at Freely. I've always had a great experience with Freely and was looking forward to their new Italian-style place. All in all, I had a great dinner at Bar Capri with friends. The food and service were excellent in a relaxed environment. It was busy while we were there and the staff was attentive throughout dinner. We had a party of 5 with a reservation, which is a good idea on the weekend given it's not a big place. Our server explained that some dishes are served for one person and the pasta dishes are large enough for sharing. So with that in mind we split a couple appetizers and our dishes. I really liked the fried calamari, and at many places that's a dish that I usually skip due to being too chewy or just not good. Here it's breaded and fried perfectly. It comes with 2 sauces for dipping and it's great for sharing. We also had the Nobel bread with butter trio. I read other reviews that the butter types lacked strong flavors and I can somewhat agree with that, but ultimately it's bread and butter, so it's still good. I had 2 very nice cocktails, the Milk Punch and Lost in Tokyo (I love cocktails made with egg whites). I enjoyed the flavor profiles on them. A couple friends had a bottle of the California Pinot Nior and I had a few tastes, that was an excellent bottle of wine, being my favorite style of red. I would order that if having wine when I come back. For food, we all shared from our plates, and I liked everything. The stand outs for me was the steak frites and ravioli. The steak was cooked perfectly (I asked for medium rare) and had 2 nice sauces - a chimichuri and aioli. The fries were so good, large potato pieces that were crispy on outside with soft texture inside. The cream sauce for the beef ravioli was yummy and the beef itself was a tasty ravioli filling. Again, I liked everything I tasted but those were the main things I had. Everything was fresh and prepared well, I look forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu!

    The drinks are 10/10!! The decor is super cute and honestly surprising for it being in a small plaza. The place had a vibe of a little city restaurant tucked away. Will be back for more cocktails and definitely go down the list of signature drinks.

    The energy, service, food, & drinks were all wonderful! Love finding a local spot that is a nice sit down atmosphere but still very comfortable after a long day- we will be back The blood orange Sicilian soda the highlight of the day haha

    Nonna's Lasagna (bomb diggity)
    Cassandra M.

    When a restaurant has Nonna's lasagna, you MUST order it. Well, I did and holy tastebud explosion (I've been thinking about this slab of lasagna for weeks). The bechamel sauce was on point and full of flavor (most places skip this tedious step)! We also ordered the bread and butter because why not?! The butter flavors were fun and delicious. Our son crashed our date night so he had pasta, butter, and cheese which sounds easy but the simplicity can make this dish go either way and Bar Capri nailed it. My husband ordered the pesto chicken and the serving size was well above average, full of flavor, and chicken cooked perfectly. The drinks were delicious as well. Highly recommend the Espresso Martini with the Cordial Cherry Cold Foam... who am I kidding? This review is making me hungry! Check out Bar Capri and thank me later. Reservation recommended because it's quaint inside and out.

    Oh mio dio! I have often joked with friends and family that I must have been Italian in one of my past lives because the amount of noodles I can pack away is staggering. Cream sauce, marinara, pesto, a classic cacio e pepe... It doesn't matter. Put noodz in front of me and watch me blush coyingly before devouring it. It's been a while since I've been excited about a new place but this place had me all a-flutter. I had a Lost In Tokyo, Fritto Misto, Polpette, and the Lamb Flatbread. Here's the breakdown: Lost In Tokyo ($16 - lemon washed japanese gin, plum sake, yuzu, egg white, cream, citrus): Any time an egg white foam is included on a drink, expect to wait. Such a delightful drink. Cheers, Yelpers. Fritto Misto ($16 - fried calamari, shrimp, capers, olives, fried lemon, romesco sauce, calabrian aioli): The fried lemon had me looking like the heart-eyes emoji. And can we talk about the lemony marinara that they serve on the side? It's so perfect in flavor that no fresh lemon was in sight. I love how confident they are about how you will love this fritto misto. Absolutely one of the best fried calamari dishes I've had. Give me the salty little bites of caperes and olives. YUM. Polpette ($12 - pork & beef meatballs, marinara, straticella cheese, basil, parmesan): Okay, I got to be real, these balls are FIRM. Like, you could use them as stress balls. I know not everybody is a fan of poaching meatballs in sauce to get them more tender but I think that would help. Just my opinion! Lamb Flatbread ($15): I felt like I stole Lamb Chop from Shari Lewis (RIP, queen) and gave that cute lamb a big ol' lick. It's a very gamey lamb and while staggering, it's not off-putting if you like lamb. I will say, ONLY get it if you like lamb. As for the flatbread they used, wow. Love it. I know they serve Noble bread here and I'm curious if the flatbread is Noble too because wow! Love that flatbread! Salted Caramel Gelato ($8): Mama mia! What a way to cap off a meal. It's savory-sweet and oh so decadent. It's quite delicious. I want to come back ASAP and try the Cacio Pepe Flatbread and Carbonara Flatbread. This is a cozier spot so expect having to scream at your dining companions. I recommend getting a reservation to come here as well.

    Lasagne

    The inside is really cute but I forgot to make a reservation so we had to eat outside in the heat! They don't have misters up like Freely next door (same owners) but hopefully that's coming. Our server was very nice and noticed we were in the sun and offered to try adjusting our umbrella. We hadn't even thought to ask so that was thoughtful! We had the Noble bread with truffle, smoked tomato, and lemon caper butters. This was fun but we all felt the butters could have had stronger flavors -- but we all like strong flavors! I had the salad with cheddar, apple, and walnuts which was fine. A friend and I split the steak skewers with an extra skewers. The meat was a bit dry so the chimichurri came in handy. Another friend had the lasagne which was really good! Asparagus side was also really nice. The patatas fritas were very different - a lot of potato skin, like each was a small thin flattened potato. There were mixed feelings on them at the table. I liked them but I couldn't imagine eating much of them. While not everything was perfect, it's new and they're still working things out. Glad to have a new spot in the area and will come back!

    Such a cute little restaurant! I love the vibes and the all the decor matched super well, great for a first date or cute girls night since they have a $35 pasta and wine special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Everyone is super nice and the food was great. Big portions that are worth the price in my opinion:)

    We had such a wonderful dinner at Bar Capri! We went on a weeknight during their $35 special, which includes a bottle of wine and a pasta dish which is such an amazing deal. We chose a crisp Gavi white wine paired with the gnocchi bolognese, and both the flavor and the portion size exceeded expectations. The bone marrow and fried calamari appetizers were also excellent (the calamari portion was huge), and dessert sealed the deal: ricotta cake plus two incredible dessert cocktails, the Mint Condition and Golden Hour, which might honestly be the best dessert drinks I've ever had. Service was just as impressive as the food. Our server Maddie was attentive without being overbearing, and though we hadn't mentioned our anniversary, only on the reservation, she surprised us at the end with two glasses of champagne, such a thoughtful touch. Between the warm service, great music, and lively yet cozy atmosphere, the whole evening felt special. My husband and I don't go out often, but Bar Capri is the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. With the reasonable pricing, fantastic cocktails, and overall experience, we can easily see ourselves coming here at least a couple of times a month. Highly recommend.

    Yes yes yes this is a must go!!! The bartender Zack was awesome and the rest of the staff was so kind and prompt at giving us excellent service. We started with just drinks which every single one of them was amazing and then ended up getting some food and oh my gosh no regrets. I highly recommend the shrimp skewers and anything the bartender recommends because it's delicious

    Stopping at Bar Capri today was a great choice, it was actually the highlight of my stressful week. I'd been out buying books at Wijaya House & was starving, & lucky for me, Bar Capri is in the same complex. I wasn't in the mood for a sports bar (Freely is right next door. In fact, Bar Capri has a barn door that opens up to Freely), & the menu sounded delish. Aesthetically, this place is a foodie vibe through & through. Compact & cozy, it screams sexy modern Italian cafe, heavy on a Mediterranean vibe. I sat & ordered wine & decided on their beet salad with grilled shrimp added. Both came out quickly & were delightful. I read my book in between bites of yummy shrimp & beets & swallows of their NZ Sauvignon Blanc, & couldn't have been happier. The bartender & server shot the shit with me & made me feel welcome. Plus, my water was refilled like a trillion times, which is SO appreciated considering it's 111 out. Bar Capri is a quiet cozy place to stop, chill & enjoy. I highly recommend it for happy hour with foodie friends, a date night, or even treating yourself like I did today. Thanks guys for taking care of me, it was a great afternoon!! :) PS Bet your ass I'll be back to share how the book turned out! ;)

    Burrata and Caesar salad
    Kelly M.

    Lovely restaurant with great food! We had the burrata appetizer and Caesar salad, both were delicious. The chicken pesto pasta was also fantastic! I wasn't a big fan of the lamb skewers, they were just ok. The chocolate torte to finish the night was also delicious!

Now the ordering, each person explained what they wanted, our bartender tried to upsale us, or tell us what we wanted was wrong. I asks for a good fruity mocktail, he told me I was no fun. I let him know "I know my limit, and I am at it. I don't want to have anymore alcohol" he was not pleased. Our drinks, ick. One tasted like any fruit juice they had behind the bar was poured into a glass with gin topper. Another one was like a soggy black licorice dripping in something unrecognizable. Mine was on fire which was cool, yet was so sickly sweet I could barely get through half. Now, this could have been a one off. But, wish we would have saved our time and money.

    I stumbled across this restaurant while searching for the best restaurants in Arizona…read more I found an article that consisted of James Beard award nominees for Arizona. Chef Roberto was nominated as the 2024 up-and-coming chef. This restaurant is perfect for a romantic date night or a large gathering. One side of the restaurant features a large bar along with smaller tables. Then, on the other side of the restaurant there are larger tables. I love how the intimate dining is separate from larger gatherings. Definitely a lot of thought and planning went into the Layout of this restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the hostess. Behind her was a small case featuring oysters. The young woman that seated us was kind and showed us to our seat. Our servers name was Nicki. She was also very friendly and had very good recommendations. To drink I started off with The Phoenix and my husband had a bottled beer. My drink was very delicious. Freshly squeezed citrus juices gave it a bit of a tart taste. It was definitely a deliciously crafted cocktail. For dinner I chose to have the restaurant week menu. Please see photo below. I selected the Birria dumplings. They consisted of Wagyu beef cheek,cabbage slaw, roasted corn, confit, mushrooms, bok choy, beef, broth, and chili sauce. We both thoroughly enjoyed them and would definitely get them again. For my main course, I selected the K4 flat iron steak, prepared, medium rare. It was accompanied by Chiltepin sauce - potatoes - flour tortilla - beans. There was definitely something about the potatoes and how they were dry roasted, then added to the beans. The way the potatoes absorbed the residual liquid from the beans created a delicious melody of flavors. Steak was delicious and perfectly. K4 is a. premium Meat shop in Prescott, Arizona. For Dessert, I ordered the Keylime pie. I have to admit I do not like Keylime pie but today I have seen the light! Or should I say spirit? Esprirtu's Keylime pie is the best I have ever had. Less like a traditional pie it's layered and cut into a square. The lime zest on top gave it that extra finishing touch of tart. Thank you to the entire staff for a very delicious and memorable meal. We will absolutely positively be returning.

The market price steak is pricey, but very well received at our table. Having a big night out? Consider the punch (big black seashell looking vessel). Worried it will be too sweet? We were, too. Let your server know what kind of flavors you're looking for and if your bartender is feeling kind, they'll tailor it to you a bit more so it's maximum enjoyment. The birria dumplings are incredible! Make sure you order those!! I had one of the best pina coladas EVER here, too. Basically, the place is great but it comes at a price so pick your visit date and celebrate something!
