Our waitress's name was Jazzy, she was super polite and happy. The food was amazing. All over olive garden. The restrooms were super clean and the atmosphere was super chill. By far the best pasta I have had in Wisconsin read more

First time didn't disappoint! The pizza was yummy and we'd be here more often if we lived around the corner. The Caesar salad was good but was drowning in dressing. We're super curious about the weekly specials, so we will be back. read more

Calamari? More like squid jerky haha am I right??? LOL so hard and dried out we had to toss it. The pizza was also over cooked and tough on my jaw. Everything was over salted my tongue is numb. The eggplant just wasn't good either. Nothing tasted fresh when it arrived. The calamari and eggplant especially tasted like it's been sitting a while and the croutons on the salad were also stale. Really disappointing. Dinner in the trash byeeeee read more

If you're looking for a really great, retro pizza parlor experience, Capri di Nuovo is that place. We went there for a Saturday lunch and were transported back in time to the family-owned pizza places I fondly remembered frequenting in my home town. We were especially happy with our server, Nathan, with his knowledge of the menu and unique ability to keep my soft drink glass topped up without my asking. I ordered their pan pizza (12 inch) and there was enough there to feed three or maybe four people. I thought our waiter had made a mistake and gave us extra cheese but he assured me the mound of mozzarella was the normal amount. The excellent cheese complimented the sauce and fresh toppings buried under the cheese. Our friends had the cracker crust veggie and had a similar experience, but with less cheese. Plenty, but not as much as the pie crust pizza. The one negative I could find was that it was a bit dark in the dining room for food photography, hehe. A great place for pizza! read more

It was Friday night and I had to take an unexpected trip to the ER with my mom. During her visit that ended up being in excess of six hours, my husband and I needed to run out and have some dinner before heading back to the ER. Capri di Nuovo is 3 minutes from Aurora and provided a much needed oasis in our otherwise bleak Friday evening. We were able to sit on their charmingly lit planter lined patio. We began the evening with whiskey old fashioneds made the Wisconsin style. They were great. For our dinner, I got their individual sized Italian cobb salad which was small but mighty. It was bursting with freshness and flavor. My dining companion got their lasagna with ricotta, which was huge. I had a couple bites and it was all cheesy deliciousness. One note: it came with two serving spoons and is definitely meant to feed 2-3 people (we didn't know and he ordered as his entree!). I also got a side of garlic bread and a small side of one piece, came with two large pieces. They were a bit hard/crunchy for my taste but the flavor was great. The service was attentive and kind and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Get to it! read more

My cousins and I wanted to get pizza. The vibe of Capri was very traditional which is hard to find in pizza restaurants. I will say this is on my list of pizza places in Wisconsin now. The service was pretty good. And the pizza was really tasty. I like the green olives on the vegetarian pizza! I will have to try it again! read more

My mom randomly came into town and she wanted Italian--I've read good reviews and went once with girlfriends so I picked here. Because it was just us two, I'm glad I did :) It was a Tuesday and we waited around 45 minutes. I don't know if this is the norm due to the smaller amount of seating or if it was because the Tuesday special are "kids eat free" and "buy one get one half off lasagna". With just my mom, this was fine! But if with a group or kids, the wait with minimal wait space could have been tricky. Speaking of the entrance and wait space--there is a counter that is for pick-up; I love this (lots of people coming in for their take-out)! But once they clarify that, no one ever directed you to go check in at the bar; I think this would be helpful for those who aren't regulars. I found myself directing others to the bar so they didn't waste time waiting and wondering what they do lol Once we were seated, we ordered right away and I loved our server; he was really kind and came to check on us the perfect amount of times. We got a Salad for Two (Caesar--I swear they make homemade dressing? It was good) and lasagna. The lasagna was nice and hot, the sauce was sweet, and the garlic bread was full of garlic (personally, I love this). I have had two meals of leftovers since. If you've got time just in case the wait is a bit longer, you should go! Just know you go actually check in if other patrons are crowding the entrance ;) read more

I made a 6:00 reservation for 12 people on a Sunday night. We were seated outside, inside the not-so-new white tent, which was outfitted with a loud space heater, wrought iron patio furniture, and a door that didn't close all the way. While I was told they weren't short staffed, our service was extremely slow. One of our guests had to order a glass of wine 3 times before he finally got it. It also took about 45 minutes to receive our dinners, and when they arrived, much of them were not up to the standards I'd read about. The garlic bread was overcooked and oily, a Chicago style pizza was not hot all the way through, an Italian Beef sandwich was tough, a Carbonara sauce began curdling half way through the meal and a shrimp scampi was "not the best I've had." It's possible they were just having an off night, but a one-time visit was enough for me. read more

Shout out to Capri di Nuovo, which has a relaxed, "locals" vibe. Andy, the manager, was friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating of dietary restrictions. Our registered & certified therapy dog was welcomed with open arms. The food was delicious, especially the garlic bread. Portions were generous. Nathan, our server, was amazing. We will be back! Anyone who has food allergies knows how hard it can be to dine out. Both Andy & Nathan took this VERY seriously. I felt heard, understood, & safe. Capri has earned my trust & our return business! read more

Calling Capri di Nuovo at 6:20 on a Tuesday during winter, I was surprised at a 40 minute wait since I had not heard of the place prior. We understood once we started eating. The inside isn't huge, mostly 13 tables of four. They somewhat recently renovated, hence the "di Nuovo." It still exuded traditional Italian. They also have a tent outside with tables. Our server had a fun personality and was patient with our indecisiveness. I recommend the sampler platter for first time visitors; it came with the following: 2 wings. The garlic ones were very good but not a ton of meat. The regular wings app comes with 10 wings. The price is probably worth it if you like wings. 5 thick eggplant fries- They were good. Obviously it tastes like eggplant. 2 stuffed mushrooms also good 2 motterella sticks. These wonton fried cheese sticks were not great, chewy. And thick cheese. Garlic bread huge portion. Addicting and not overly cheesy. Spinach artichoke would order again. Not too oily. Doesn't taste fake or frozen like many restaurants. Entrees tried: Capri salad Good size even for 2. Excellent tasting. The Italian Dressing also very good. Chicken Alfredo chicago pizza. Very filling. Good not a ton of chicken per cheese. A little soupy. Still good reheated Classic Lasagna is pretty good. The cover and bake the top with cheese. The insides primilary consisted of a traditional red sauce, noodles, and meat. It is not full of herbs or ricotta, although you can buy ricotta for $2. It doesn't need the ricotta, it's that tasty. BOGOHO on Tuesdays. Comes with garlic bread. Stallis pizza also good. The thin crust was crisp, not burnt or limp. They have a variety of deals throughout the week. read more

Capri is old-school, hand-made pasta, and local West Allis Italian joint. The garlic bread is as big as head and so deliciously buttery. This time, we shared one large piece of bread & enjoyed the others at home. The ambiance is small, cute, and quaint. A handy take-out desk is in front for those times you want take-out. There were a lot of orders going out the door. We did call ahead and put our name on the waiting list. It was early on a Friday night and they already had a 35 minute wait, but they do not have a lot of seating. My chicken Marcela was delicious, home made sauce. My sons lasagna was good and hot. He did order the adult large portion and had two more meals out of the full dish. The plates were large and prices acceptable for the portions. The service was on point. We have been twice now and we will be back again. read more

Capri di Nuovo - Bar area - Italian Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

Good Italian home cooking type food and good service. The restaurant can be quite noisy. Outside seating is an option.

Capri di Nuovo: In 1972 Capri opened in West Allis, WI and served locals for 40 years before shutting its doors in 2012. In 2014 the restaurant re-opened with new owners and a new name, which translates to Capri Again. Pizza is easily my favorite cheat meal and Capri di Nuovo (CDN) has been recommended to me multiple times. Being the pizza snob that I am, I've been putting it off as I had already found what I believed to be the best pizza in Milwaukee. Here's the thing though, my favorite pizza joint doesn't offer Alfredo sauce on pizza and CDN does. For my first visit I went with my favorite type of pizza: pan style crust, plain cheese, and Alfredo sauce. My ideal crust is thick and chewy, which isn't quite what CDN serves. Their pan style crust was kind of thin on the bottom and although it's plenty high at the periphery of the pie/back of the slice, I still wouldn't call it thick. What I found unique about it was the texture, which was super crisp, like a cracker. The flavor of the crust was yeasty and the texture somewhat dry. Overall the crust was alright even though I wouldn't call it my favorite. Where the pizza really excelled was the generous portions of cheese and creamy Alfredo sauce. Topping things off was a delicious seasoning that had hints of garlic. This is the best alfredo sauce topped pizza I've had in a long time and is easily Doughboy approved. I plan on going back for their Mac & Cheese Pizza. My top MKE pizza parlors: 1. Pizzeria Scotty: for stuffed pizza 2. Capri di Nuovo: for Alfredo sauce pizza 3. Pizza Hut (what can I say? I love their stuffed crust and pan pizza) 4. Marco's on Howell: for Bianca Rollos (Calzones) 5. Pizza Shuttle: for specialty pizzas (prior to the founders retiring, customer service sucks now) Doughboy_Food_Reviews read more

Great place for Italian food and service. The place is a little small but has outdoor covered seating. They have great weekly specials. If you have kids they give them dough to play with while waiting for their food. Garlic bread is really good and has nice sized portions for reasonable prices. read more

Used to love coming to this place; it has changed. The pizza was bland. There was no to little sauce on the Stallis pizza we ordered. The appetizer sampler was disappointing as well - very little on the platter for the price. One good thing, the server was great! Don't think we'll be returning - sorry. read more

I recently saw a social media post about Capri's Pazzi Stix, which are giant wonton mozzarella sticks with garlic butter inside. Clearly these were added to their menu to compete with the giant Italian breaded mozzarella sticks from nearby Alphonso's the Original. Always interested in trying bizarre things, these were right up my alley so I place an order for some as well as taking a frozen sausage pizza to go. The biggest problem with the Pazzi Stix is the wrap is more like the thin kind you'd find on a Chinese spring roll, not the thicker wrap that you'd find on an egg roll. The garlic butter makes the bottom of the sticks very wet and the whole thing just falls apart easily. I got about two or three bites in and had a hard time picking it up after that. I like the idea, but not the execution and I much prefer the giant breaded sticks from Alphonso's. Capri has excellent frozen pizzas to go. I'd gladly pay a couple more dollars for theirs than most kinds you could get in a store. I only get the sausage pizza when I stop, so I'm not sure about all the different kinds they might have beyond sausage, pepperoni, and plain cheese. read more

The food is excellent. My complaint is that the restaurant needs a little TLC. The upholstery on the bench in the entrance is all ripped up. The floor and entrance mats are very dirty. The walls are shabby. It makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. The first impression is not good. read more

I have eaten at Capri off and on throughout the last 45 years, have seen it bought and sold a few times as well. It certainly is not the best Italian food but I've had worse. I'm going to be honest in my opinions and as such it is my opinion. So my husband happens to love Capri's food especially their lasagna and garlic bread, for me I usually have ravioli. The food is ok, eatable but lacks flavor and the garlic bread is tasteless and I think drenched with olive oil and very little garlic or garlic salt. So there's my thoughts on the food, BLAH!!! I don't remember anything about there services past and this last time was takeout. So here's my thoughts of what I saw and my takeout experience. Capri was hopping the Friday I went to pick up. From what I saw and heard the diners seemed to be happy as it was loud and lots of laughter could be heard. Three of us were waiting for take out and waiting and waiting. The two people in front of me were getting irritable due to the hostess/cashier kept disappearing into the kitchen for a good bit of time but we could hear her and the kitchen staff talking and laughing. I finally poked my head in the kitchen and asked her to come out to talk to the man who was waiting with me. I waited there about 30 minutes when I had arrived on time to pick up my food. It was really busy! Now for the "ambiance". There was no ambiance the longer I stayed the more I looked around. I don't believe the restaurant has had any kind of update in about 10 years or longer. By update I mean fresh paint, cleaning, new flooring or carpet. I will never eat there again. The walls were filthy the floor was filthier, I couldn't really see the floor in the dining area as the lighting was very dim but it looked worn and dirty. The peek in the kitchen for the cashier afforded me a glance at an old kitchen with old greasy walls. My meatball sandwich went to the garbage can although I had to try a meatball. I won't go back unless I'm picking up food for someone other than myself. I know that most restaurant kitchens are dirty, but come on someone takes over a restaurant to put there name out there, but they don't take the time to put there "stamp" on it; it looks like a greasy spoon. read more

We were looking for a new spot to try for date night on Friday and my sister recommended Capri do Nuovo and we're so glad she did! We walked in and there was a small wait (the inside of the restaurant isnt too big) but we were able to grab some old fashioneds at the bar and go sit out by the electric fireplace under their covered patio which was so nice with a chill in the air. Before a table was ready they offered us two seats at the bar which we happily took. Our bartender and server were both super sweet and provided great service. It seemed everyone was really happy and enjoyed working here which you don't see as much these days! For food we started with an appetizer sampler that had wings, eggplant fries, mozzarella sticks, stuffed mushrooms, garlic bread and spinach and artichoke dip. It was a really heavy dish but we knew what we were getting ourselves into. By the time our food came we were pretty much stuffed but still had a few bites of our dishes before boxing them up. We shared the Classic Lasagna and Creamy Pesto Pasta with breaded chicken - both were very good. A couple at the bar next to us got the fish fry and it looked amazing - we can't wait to come back to try it. Check this place out for dine in or take out next time you are in need of some good comfort food! read more

The pizza itself is great and has a really distinctive flavor overall. But to me, star of the show is the garlic bread, which I consider the best I've ever had. Your arteries will harden and it's probably the highest concentration of calories, fat and carbs you'll ever intake in one sitting, but it's worth it on occasion. YOLO read more

If you like your lasagne with very little cheese this is for you. 3 or 4 layers of pasta with cheese in between one layer only. I think it was $16.95. Garlic bread was ok tasted heavily of garlic powder I believe. Real would have been tastier. read more

I decided to give this spot a try because I live close by and wanted Italian, so I did a carry out order. I'll start off by saying their eggplant fries were absolutely delicious, however the baked Mostaccioli was bad. It reminded me of the quality id get from MPS food. Honestly fazolis is cheaper and better quality and they aren't even that great. I may give this spot one more chance but honestly it was a huge disappointment. read more
