Overrated. The pasta was flavorless and they were out of the poblano sauce for the ravioli (didn't tell me until a few minutes after bringing them out) read more

I'm sorry, no. The best thing about this place is the beautiful space and layout. Its unique and a taste of old downtown Bryan. Very well preserved. The second best thing is the staff: funny, friendly, hard-working and all around great people. The bulk of the food here is pasta in some form of cream sauce. Not my thing at all, locals seem to really love it. Salads are very ordinary and uninspired. There is a chicken dish for those of us watching carbs and its ok...no more no less. The wine list is very uninspired and limited. I believe an Italian-American family owns it, and I would love to see this place evolve into a trattoria type establishment. But then that would drive away most of the carb 'n cream hungry regulars who pack this place out, so I understand the business model perfectly well. Too bad. It really is a beautiful space too. read more

So yummy! We were visiting College Station, and found this online. I'm so glad we did! Loved the decor, and the downtown is adorable. The food was fantastic. The servings weren't huge, but plenty to eat. The servers were all very sweet and the service was quick. Will definitely be coming back! read more

We came here for the first time tonight. We ordered the fried ravioli (thanks to the yelp coupon), the lobster, and baked penne and loved it. For desert we ordered the tiramisu and cheesecake, the tiramisu was dry, but the cheesecake was excellent! We will be back! read more

My girlfriend and I came here for lunch and it was really good. We got the garlic cheese bread, she had the baked penne, and I had the three color Bow tie. It was good and definitely worth checking out read more

My absolute favorite Italian place in the BCS area! It's perfect for a date night or special occasion, but the prices are reasonable. I've tried a bunch of the things on their menu and everything is so good! Also, the bread is delicious. Be warned -- they have pretty big portions, so if you finish your whole meal you'll probably leave feeling like you'll explode. read more

Caffe' Capri is by FAR my favorite place to eat in Bryan/College Station. For the last three years, I have come at least once a month to get some of their incredible spaghetti and meatballs. I always bring any out of town visitors to dine here and I've never heard of a dish coming out any less than great! The prices are very fair, and I especially love coming for lunch since I am on a college budget. Over the years, I have only one instance that I can think of that was slightly unpleasant. A large party was dining, so our service was a little slow. The waitress made up for it by offering us a free dessert so no complaints here! Rami, thank you for delicious food! I can't wait to be back soon!!! read more

We went on 2-2-2016 for our three year anniversary. It was the first time we have been there and it was easy to find. It was a cute little place. We were greeted right away and seated. Few minutes later they got our drink order and everyone there seemed very nice. My wife got chicken parmesan and I got the tortelloni alla capri. Both were amazing. It was an amazing dinner for the two of us and we recommend it to everyone. Thank you for the great Anniv. dinner. read more

We don't get to Downtown Bryan enough but during one of the worlds scariest moments and me being an essential food worker and husband being essential were so tired from carrying extra loads being short staffed take out is easier! Supporting local is hard sometimes when corporate fast food is easier and cheaper but at a time like this local needs us more than ever and Rami and staff made dinner amazing made me miss my Grandma something terrible but the food is made with such love, caring, respect and yumminess the real Italian way! Meatballs so tender they just melt in your mouth, the sauce chunks of tomato and not over acidic way I remember my grandmother making it! The Ciabatta bread crispy yet so soft and covered in perfectly broiled mozzarella Finally a real Cannoli without Cinnamon the actual Italian way so crispy, creamy, chocolatey, and scrumptious! The raspberry Italian Cream Soda wow where in the world have I been so divine and decedent. The most important thing of it all was the customer service hands down the guy whom I forgot his name so sorry but he was delightful, respectful and caring and that doesn't seem to exist anymore!!! This experience, food, drink and service was 100 star rating! Can't wait for this all go blow over so I can sit and enjoy the amazingness all over again never once has Caffe Capri or family disappointed!!! Much love read more

Caffe' Capri - Spaghetti and meatballs, Cannoli - Italian Near Me - Bryan, Texas

See all

Thought it would be a good quiet place for graduation lunch, not. I called to book the banquet room, I only had 15 people coming, but was willing to pay for the 25 minimum. When I asked the owner Robby, if he would throw in dessert for the 15 since I would be paying for 10 entrees that would not be served, he said no. He wants to hold out for a bigger party. Do the math. I was willing to pay the extra $160, $16 X 10, ( 10 orders that would not be served/cooked) but he was not willing to throw in a dessert? Thats over $10 each for the 15 people we would bring. So much for friendly. Even asked if he did not get a reservation, would we be able to book. No. We always have bookings. What happened to friendly. If your empty on the 13th for lunch in the banquet room, do blame anyone but the owner. read more

Caffe Capri is a very cute update to small downtown restaurants. The space is appealing and comfortably simple. I had no trouble getting a large work group seated a on a Monday night. While there were several other parties having dinner, it didn't feel crowded. The service was quite good, and our waitress kept our large party organized and hydrated without issue. The menu is simple, with variations among a few sauces and pastas, but nothing overly ambitious or creative. I ordered the tortellini alla capri, which was solidly edible, including as leftovers. Visually, all of the dishes look extremely similar (based on their base sauce), but I didn't come here for pizzaz. Portions are fair/good for dinner, and while it didn't knock my socks off, I would eat here again. Dessert is the the selling point of the Caffe Capri experience. The portions and quality of the cheesecake, tiramisu, and chocolate toffee mousse were serious crowd pleasers. The cannoli met with no complaints, but while it seemed slightly larger than average, I can't evaluate it's flavor. Overall, this seems an amazing spot to have a simple dinner, or EVEN BETTER a glass of wine and dessert. There isn't much diversity or creativity to the dinner menu, but if you like pasta, you will likely enjoy the reasonably priced predictable fare. read more

The food wasn't inedible but I wouldn't come here again - I felt like I paid more than I should have for the quality of food offered

I have lived in Bryan College Station for about 5 years now, been to caffe' capri countless times, and it is always amazing! Food is so fresh, and great service! read more

Its a cute place you can hang out with couple friends or date. I love their meatball spaghetti and dessert. Their waiters and waitresses are nice and friendly. But the reservations dont work here. You have to come early during busy hours. After finish eating, I always go to the chocolate place cross the street! read more

Everything served up in this quaint little resteraunt in historic downtown Bryan tastes like it's made from scratch. The cajun tortellini is to die for and the ambiance is great with low lighting, high-backed booths, and local art. Definately one of my top 5 in the bcs area! read more

I plan on going here tonight and have been looking forward to it all day! This place is great! I always order the mushroom/lobster pasta thingy. I also love that this place is locally owned, I do not think I have even been and not seem the owner there. read more

This place is great! I would definitely recommend it to other people. The food is exactly what you'd expect it to taste. Good price. We order the lobster penne dish and the mushroom Cajun tortellini and both tasted fantastic! The food were served very quickly as well. Attentive staff. Overall very good! read more

Excellent Italian cuisine! Started with spicy ravioli for an appetizer. Fresh baked bread accompanied by balsamic vinegar & olive oil dip was a nice touch. I had the pesto ravioli for my entree - did not disappoint! My family also enjoyed the spaghetti and meatball entree and found it delicious as well. We somehow managed to finish off our meal sharing a slice of cheesecake. Beautiful surroundings as well! read more

I had high hopes as it's been voted best Italian in BCS for several years. Everything was delicious except my entree. They served fresh bread with an olive oil/red wine vinegar "dip". It was SO delicious. I ordered the bow tie affair. The "grilled chicken" was more like boiled unseasoned chicken. Like the frozen kind you just heat up in the microwave. The sauce was tasteless and watery. I ordered the cannoli for dessert and it was delicious. read more

I ordered a baked penne dish that had chicken and some sliced of pepperoni and it was quite flavorful. Their side salad was fresh and had a good dressing on it that was not super oily like what some places serve. The review would be a 5-star if they had had a lunch portion choice. The size of the dish itself was rather "lunch-ish"; however, the $18 total price was not lunch-ish at all! I'll be back to try something else at another time. read more

After 15 years in BCS, Caffe Capri is quite possibly the restaurant I miss most. Rami really has done a fantastic job of providing "the place for Italian." I'm always amazed at meeting people who haven't discovered the little gem and welcomed taking new fans. My favorite dish would be the tri-color bowtie (lunch menu)/bowtie affair (dinner). It was always loaded with creamy goodness. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes, but be sure to try out their Italian Cream Sodas. read more

Great for a nice but inexpensive dinner. We were able to get dinner for two, soft drinks, and dessert for about $30. Entrees and dessert were fantastic. The entrees were a decent size (considering the fact that they come with a salad and breadsticks), but the dessert was quite large, perfect for sharing. read more

This restaurant is good if you are going to order one of two things. The Cajun Tortellini, and the Cajun Alfredo are the only things on the menu worth a try. Also, the portions are kind of pricey for how much food you are given. The ambiance is alright, dimmed lighting, high booths for privacy, and neat art and architecture. Every time I have gone, the service has been on point as well, and we are always greeted with a smile. Although, the service is not enough for me to keep going back, as this is definitely not Italian food. read more

Ok not impressed at all. Ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo wrong choice. It had no flavor at all and the chicken looks like it had been boiled. Again no flavor at all the sauce was running again no flavor at all not impressed.. read more

Not great, not made from scratch. I can only surmise that a majority of the items on the menu are frozen. I tasted the seafood ravioli, and it tastes identical to the Bertoli that you get in the supermarket....and that costs 4 bucks and tastes horrible. Also, there was a watery white sauce thrown on top that was tasteless. Honestly, I do not know who the chef is or where the recipes came from. I can cook better than this without much effort. However, I am trained in cooking, and I doubt anybody in that kitchen is trained. No trained chef would allow food like this to leave the kitchen. Also, if you look at the bread they give you, you will notice it is not even baked long enough. It is white as a piece of paper. Does that sound like Italian bread to you? The hostess was definitely not in the running for Ms. Congeniality. Seriously...would a smile kill you? Would saying more than "How many? Ok....sit here" be a possibility for this girl? If you hate your job then just quit... I am looking for a decent Italian restaurant in the BCS area and have yet to find anything. read more

Bad service. The hostes told us that there was a 10-15 minute wait. We went here specifically on Bryan First Friday. The hostes took our number said that we could go walk around outside and we would get a call when our table was ready. The restaurant texted us when table was ready and we responded that we were on our way from across the street. When we got to the restaurant (after crossing the street - 2 minutes), the hostess told us that they had given our table to someone else. They didn't offer any aologies or try to make anything right! Just a "too bad for you!" attitude. Then the hostess laughed at us as we left. It looked like a cute restaurant, but if you do go, be careful at the front door. There is a bird's nest right in front of the front door with lots of bird crap on the ground right under the front door. read more

I have always loved Caffe Capri! Who doesn't love good Italian food. Have been there several times for dinner and always love my meal. We had our rehearsal dinner in their upstairs banquet room. For food we had a salad (great), bread (YUM!), chicken Parmesan, and the bow tie affair. The chicken Parmesan was okay but I assumed it would come with pasta. The bow tie affair was pretty good. I wasn't sure of the setup for a rehearsal dinner but it turned out to be that we were seated and served a plate with a portion of each entree. There was a noticeable wait time between people getting their plate and once we got the plates the food was warm at best. I noticed going back up the the bar that they had large dishes of the entrees and served from these dishes into our plates. I didn't feel that this was the best way to serve for a large party. It would have been much better to have this food sitting over heat so it would have been hot when served. We asked the waiter for oil/balsamic for our bread that is usually available at your table if your sitting downstairs and he brought us over 2 dishes. However he did not bring out any other dishes for the other 5 tables of our party or offer to do so. Will definitely go back for a dinner but would not recommend for a large party. read more

Fabulous date night location! Food was absolutely delicious, atmosphere was perfect, our server was attentive and personable and the owner took the time on a very busy night to visit with his customers! We highly recommend! read more

Easily the best Italian food in town! Great for date nights or classy lunches! The tortellini tacos are to die for, and the tiramisu is top notch! I always recommend this place to friends looking to support local businesses! read more

The food was very bland and the service was bad and slow. The desserts were great though. I had better expectations after reading the other reviews but I must say I am disappointed. read more

Extremely good food, great prices, great atmosphere. My favorite is the skinny chicken, but their pasta and salads are all wonderful. I'm pretty sure they don't have anything bad on the menu. We typically get calamari for an appetizer, and it is never over cooked. The marinara sauce is delicious and tastes so fresh. read more

Nice ambiance, but food was boring. The sauce was flavorless. Everything was cheesy / creamy. There's a lot more to Italian cuisine than that. Not worth the money. read more

The best italian food in BCS. Always amazing food! Great atmosphere. The perfect place for a date night. You can't go wrong with the lobster penne pasta with Cajun sauce and their Caesar salad is heaven! read more

Always good food! Always good time! My wife and always love going! This place is great, especially for valentines day. The best is the lobster penne, but the tortellini ala capri is great too. Also, great desserts, especially the tiramasu! read more

A great place to eat in downtown Bryan. I never ate a bad meal there and always had excellent service. I can't judge autheticity, and won't try, but the food is always flavorful and unique. In an area with so many chains and not enough locally owned restaurants, I love supporting Caffe Capri. read more

Caffe Capri is one of my favorite restaurants in BCS. They have endless pasta choices and I love the caesar salad. The prices are very reasonable, enough to make this restaurant a place we frequent. I'd give it 5 stars but the truth is, I'm not from around here and there are other restaurants in this world that I like better. But for the options that we have here, this place is definitely one of the best. The atmosphere is great and cozy but if you go in with more than a party of 4 on a Friday or Saturday plan to wait. The restaurant is pretty small and there aren't many accommodations for (somewhat) larger groups unless there are reservation options that I don't know about. read more

We went here for a nice family celebration meal, but they kind of ruined the celebration. The food was good enough, my son liked the Italian soda, and the sauce for the cheese squares had pop, but the tiramisu was cut from a larger frozen dessert, looked crooked and was still frozen. The bigger issue was customer service. We sat at the table for five minutes before anyone served drinks, and that seemed to be the trend through the whole night. We were in our seats nearly 20 minutes before we saw the "actual" waiter. He seemed put-out to serve us. My son asked for ranch, and it never came. I would have reminded him, but he never came by until the salads were done. To be fair, the restaurant was pretty packed, especially for a Monday night after the school semester, but there's never a reason for ignoring customers for an extended time. read more

Cafe Capri did not live up to the expectations that previous reviews have left. A first thing that was unwelcoming was the very dim interior. If you don't come during the day, you need a flashlight to see what you're eating. Now down to business, the bread they give to you before the meal was a solid rock that if I was not starving would have pushed away. The waiter, although pretty, was not incredibly knowledgeable about the food. The prices range from $10 to $16, but the quality and portion of the entrées weren't worth it. You could easily get a better meal at olive garden and leave satisfied. And to correct the website they no longer offer gnocchi with the chicken parmesean. The baked penne was decent but had 6 pepperoni's and 2 pieces of chicken. My boyfriends lobster pasta had 7 quarter size pieces of lobster. Overall very disappointing and sadly we won't be back again. read more

My husband and I ate here while staying at a B&B in Bryan. We had been traveling for 4 days and this was our last dinner out. It was by far the meal we had. Both of us are originally from NY and we know good pasta. Both of our dishes were amazing! Love their italian bread. If you like fresh marinara sauce, ask for some to dip the bread in, yummy! The cannoli for dessert was perfect. We highly recommend eating here! read more

I love this restaurant! Great area, nice parking, good portion sizes, nice prices. My only issue is that on both occasions of me being here, the host/hostess gave me attitude and underestimated the wait time. Other than that, the servers are always kind and I love coming here! read more
