Most sauces in the south are to sweet and tastes like Chef Boy RD......but not here full of flavor with a nice bite to it, would make any Italian Nonna cry! We had little ones with us that just wanted Alfredo which wasn't on the menu, no problem waitress to the rescue again, she has the kitchen whip up a fresh Alfredo sauce, and seriously the first time I have seen the kids finish a whole meal!!!

It was super busy, so I believe that a reservation is needed for the weekend, especially for larger groups. The vibe is a bit darker and moodier but with natural lighting- perfect for a date night but not limited to that. The espresso martinis, cocktails, beer, and mocktails were all delicious. They have amazing espresso martinis and aperol spritzes. The only dishes that I tried included the white truffle garlic bread, Sunday night lasagna, and the hot honey prosciutto pizza. Everything was delicious. A special shoutout to the Sunday night lasagna - WOW it was perfect. I'm usually not a huge lasagna person, but this changed that. I would 100% recommend this. Since we were celebrating my birthday with our parents, they were kind enough to give me a free dessert. I chose the salted caramel budino, and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this as a dessert. Overall, we had a great experience! I would definitely come back.

It's certainly closer to my house (always a plus) and in my opionion, has easier parking (compared to the mothership).

Went here to celebrate a birthday and was so pleased with our experience. Staff and servers were super friendly and attentive to water, bread, pacing.... all boiling down to a great dining experience and delicious food. Since it was a birthday celebration, we started with some cocktails and moved to wine during the meal. The food itself is a smaller/concept menu, but same great food. I ventured away from my usual MR's go-to: Penne brocoli & chicken and went Ravioli that night - so good! Don't judge me, but we had 4:30pm reservations.

The entire dining room filled up within the hour so I'm so glad we had the time slot that we decided on. Got home after a great experience around 7pm, which was amazing (again- I am getting old).

Knowledgeable about the menu and she made the experience even more enjoyable. Side note: we ordered the single serving of the spaghetti and meatballs to split.

The service was spectacular, our server gave great recommendations and was constantly checking in to see if we needed anything, including keeping our water refilled. We started with the pesto roasted Brussels sprouts, which were delicious and served as a pretty large portion. For the main, we decided to split the Radiatori Nero. We had never tasted anything like it! The pasta has such a funky, fun texture that pairs perfectly with the sauce because it really holds onto it. The shrimp that came with it were amazing as well, a good size and cooked to perfection. We would hands down order this again! We also got the mushroom pizza, which came with plenty of truffle aioli and a crunchy crust with an incredible cheese pull. All the portions were generous; we actually ended up having enough to take home for another meal! Of course, we could not skip dessert. We got the tiramisu, which is a total must-order no matter how full you are! The cocktails were also great, I tried a blueberry drink, and they have an impressive wine selection as well.

Came with 4 medium-sized slices, so a bit overpriced. - Tagliatelle (3.5/5): The pasta was a nice texture if you like it a bit firmer, but there was hardly any meat at all - essentially no pork. This was disappointing as it felt like I basically just paid for a small portion of egg noodles with one egg on top. It was quite bland. - Orecchiette (4/5): Friend liked it, but it was very heavy and made him feel bloated after/need to use the restroom. I also requested no cheese on my tagliatelle due to allergy and it came out with cheese... so they returned with another one that looked a bit smaller than my friend's, who got it regularly. Beware if you have allergies/make sure to look twice! Our server was nice but the manager serving food to customers looked a bit stressed. I wouldn't come back also because the menu didn't have too many options that appealed to me, but the environment was nice.

Nothing overly fussy, just done right. The pizza crust deserves a shoutout--crispy, flavorful, and holds up well. My only wish? This location offered pizza by the slice like Uptown, but you'll need to commit to the full pie here (which, honestly, isn't a bad thing).

I love cappreccio's but more importantly can't stand a reviewer like candi w., she would give zero stars to the restaurant but still gets take-out from there?????? Really!!!! If it deserves a zero in your eyes than go somewhere else and shut your annoying mouth!!!!! You live in Harrisburg I am sure you have several dime-a-dozen chain restaurants that would be more than happy to even deliver to your "southern living" quality home with impeccable ambiance and worldly style so you can keep your miserable self securely at home out of harms way. It is fine if you do not like the food, the staff, the management or the atmosphere but please enough is enough.....Cappreccio's please refuse her take out business because clearly your Product is not good enough for her. This is the first review I have ever done, this Brandi B**** just struck a cord with me. Hates the restaurant so much wants the scale revampted to offer a zero but still gets take out from there.......that says it all!!! read more

My husband and I recently visited this pizza spot, and I was amazed at how the pizza transported me back to the authentic taste of New York-style pizza. The cheese was exceptionally flavorful, and the balance of sauce was just perfect. We also tried the chicken and shrimp piaccota special, a delightful off-menu item they happily prepared for us. The shrimp were large and succulent, and although the chicken was a bit thin, we thoroughly enjoyed it, especially paired with the delicious sauce. The service, provided by Angelica, was outstanding--sweet and professional. I highly recommend this place to family and friends. read more

Delicious, Daughter ordered lasagna. She didn't eat her caesar salad so I did- it was amazing. Next time I might ask for extra cheese but the croutons and dressing were amazing Only gave it a four star because most of her lasagna fell out into the bag before we arrived home. I wondered if the aluminum container was sealed well. She sloped the bread because it was covered in sauce. We will check the container next time. There will be a next time for that salad for me! read more
