We had an all around great experience. Some may consider the cost on the high side, but the quality of the food definitely justifies the cost. The Lobster Ravioli was just WOW! It's a cool place and everyone at the table commented how comfortable the chairs were. We did have a few server glitches but it was a busy time and they seemed slightly understaffed. read more

A very welcoming ambiance with a very clean environment that has been perfectly decorated to match the Italian food vibes. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. You feel at home. The food was amazing, I had the Tortellini Michael Angelo and would recommend it. read more

We went this past Friday, and had a long wait time- it also was dinner time so it was expected to have to wait. They also are fairly new and we noticed that there were somethings to be worked out, for a better experience but there's grace to be given. It was a little loud, and crowded just because of how busy they were. But I still enjoyed my time there with my family. The bruschetta was delicious, we felt like it needed more of the toppings. The mushroom soup was delicious along with the rolls. I got the penne bolognese and it was outstanding! For dessert I got the lemon cello cake and it was amazing as well! We will be back! read more

If Elizabethtown misses one thing, good Italian food tops the list. Capri's opened while I was out of town. I came in the first chance I got. First impression. Growing pains. You can tell this place runs new. Culture and efficiency still need work. The restaurant felt dirty. Napkins and silverware all over the bar. Tons of dirty dishes sitting out in the open. The host lacked energy and looked annoyed. She cared more about flirting with her friends than being a good host. The servers never stopped moving. Four servers worked nonstop and looked overwhelmed. However they did it with a smile and everyone got service. Wait time issues. * 7 open tables * 4 people ahead of us * 23 minutes to get seated * 8 minutes before a server came over To be clear. The servers worked their asses off. They carried the entire experience. Food. Caesar Salad - 0/10. Came out in 7 minutes. Worst Caesar salad I have seen. Wrong ingredients. Bad dressing. No excuse, fix it or don't offer it anymore. Red Pepper Potato Soup - 8/10. Came out in 7 minutes. Creamy, Hot, Full of flavor! This surprised me in a good way. Bruschetta. $12. 7/10 - Came out in 12 minutes. Bread was perfect. Flavor was solid, but the Toppings were light. At $12 you expect more on the plate, at $7 or $8 this would feel right. Chicken Alfredo. $22. 6/10. Came out in 26 minutes. Sauce and noodles were good, Heavy garlic and it was delicious.Chicken missed hard; Dry, Bland, No seasoning. Sausage and Pepper Parmigiana. $22. 7/10. Came out in 26 minutes. Best main dish by far. Good flavor, Noodles cooked right. Needed more salt and this could have been perfect. Cannoli. $8. 7/10.Expensive but good, Crispy shell. Tangy rich filling. Best cannoli in Kentucky. Bottom line, I would bring my family here over any chain in town. No question. Once they clean up the service flow, train the host better, and tighten execution, this place has serious potential. Capri's has the ability to become the Italian spot in Etown. If they fix the growing pains, it has the ceiling to become the best restaurant in the city. read more

Unassuming location. Right behind a hotel. I want sure what to expect, but the food was great. Service was wonderful. Not an extensive wine list, but found a bottle to go with the chicken marsala. read more

Tried Capri's Italian Restaurant, newly opened in town, and overall had a great experience. We started with the cheesy bread, which was highly recommended, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. While it was crispy and well coated, it wasn't worth the $8 especially since the free warm dinner rolls were actually better. We also weren't offered the garlic oil dipping sauce others have mentioned. The salad wasn't anything impressive. General bagged salad with limited choices of dressings (Caesar, Italian, Ranch, and Thousand Island). Service was attentive, though our waiter was very soft-spoken and hard to hear at times. The entrees were the highlight. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was excellent; perfect level of heat, large juicy shrimp, and a very generous portion (plenty of leftovers). Only wish the shrimp tails were removed. The Chicken Parmigiana was also a win: tender, well-seasoned, and served with spaghetti and marinara. Dessert options weren't offered, which was a missed opportunity I would've gladly taken something to go. That said, Capri's is a welcome addition to the city. Cozy space, no wait for a 5pm weeknight dinner, and food that's already right on track for a new restaurant. We'll definitely be back and look forward to bringing friends and family. read more

Food was good. Bruschetta was decent. Huge portion for the veal. The sampler was in the smaller side. Wished you did not have to pay extra for the oil dipping sauce read more

Wednesday was our third visit in as many months. We thought it couldn't get any better but it did! Service was impeccable, music was just loud enough to provide a soft romantic backdrop without being loud. And the food was definitely top shelf. I wish I had left room for dessert! Continues to be a five star in my book...too bad ten stars aren't available as they have earned them hands down! read more

This is a hidden gem. It's even hidden behind other businesses. We had a party of 6 on Thursday night before the Derby. Somehow we were able to get a reservation. One of the owners was our server, he was amazing and very helpful. We all ordered a different entree and no one was disappointed. I wish I had thought to get pictures but we were engaged in conversation. We wish he would open one in Chattanooga. read more

Trying a new place on the busiest night of the year (Valentines Day) you have to give grace where it is due. Add to that Capri has not been open that long so the staff is still getting g their "sea legs". That said: The food was excellently cooked and presented. The staff was exhausted yet maintained their professionalism and high level of care. The atmosphere was good for the small size of the venue. Olive Garden is going to have to up their game to match the food and service! read more

Food was very good and very large portions. I really enjoyed the bread and salad also. The marinara sauce is so perfect!

I was extremely disappointed in my experience at Capris. My daughter & I went on Tuesday for lunch. She had a friend that said she had eaten there 9 times last month & it was so good. We ordered the bruschetta & the chicken fettuccini alfredo with the roasted red bell pepper soup. The service was prompt & the restaurant was clean. There were only 2 other tables of diners in there at the time. We were brought some very hard rolls that were not warmed at all. Our bruschetta arrived, loaded with balsamic glaze but it hardly had any toppings on it (one tomato chunk & a shred of cheese). Our "soup" as it was described was more like a broth, very thin & watery, although it did have good flavor. Then when our meal came, although the serving size for lunch was appropriate, there was not a smidgen of seasoning on our food. The chicken had no color & tasted like it was boiled & then placed on top of the fettuccini. There was also no salt used in the water to prepare the fettuccini, totally a tasteless meal. So much so, that neither of us would dine there again. read more

I highly recommend this place even though it is a little hidden. Hopefully it is able to do as well as it is. Very quick service very polite and nice. Clean nice classy looking restaurant. I hope you're able to hang onto this wonderful Italian restaurant. The food was very good light and tasty. Zucchini soup is highly recommended. I am not a zucchini fan, but it has small chunks of zucchini in it and it was amazing. read more

Felt authentic, seevice was personable, and food was amazing! Had six people and all our meals were delicious.

First time here and it will not be the last. The soup, chicken w vegies, fantastic. Lasagna great and the sauce was as homemade as possible. Chicken Parmesana was also hand/homemade with a totally different sauce on the spaghetti. So much food for the lunch menu we could not finish it all, seniors. I have not got to try the tiramisu yet still too full but it will be eaten tonight. The server must be one of the owners. So attentive and helpful with selecting the meal. If you want an authentic southern Italian meal this is the place to go to. The wife and I have been complaining about no real Italian food in town here but now we have it and hope they stay here for a long time. The chairs were so comfortable and the music was soothing, not blaring like a steakhouse across the street. read more

Very nice restaurant. Located near several hotels. Food was good. Restaurant was decorated nicely. Very comfortable chairs. The food was kind of pricey. I usually don't spend $30 for lunch for 1 person. My shrimp Scampi was $23 and included a salad. read more

On Mother's Day, our family went there for dinner. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and it was a really cute restaurant. One of the very best Italian restaurants I've been to and I'm so happy that it's not another chain. Highly recommend. And our server was so nice and personable. read more

Food was spectacular! Service could use more work, my wife and I waited 15 minutes after we were sat until we left. Other tables that came in after us were getting their beverages and side dishes and we hadn't even been greeted by our server (there were 5 servers walking around past our table to newly sat customers gathering their orders). Update 02/28/2026 We went again and had superb dining experience, to include service. The food was just as phenomenal! read more

This place was very good. My wife had shrimp scampi, the shrimp were big and delicious. The sauce had a lemony taste to it. She also had a cannoli, she sad it was the best she has had. I had spaghetti and meatballs with a side of sausage. The meatballs and sausage were very good. The owner takes the time to say hello and make you feel welcomed. Hopefully the word spreads so local people come to eat at a good place and not a franchise. read more

Everything was delicious. We had a great server. We will be back. Food was absolutely Yum.

Went for my mother's birthday dinner (party of four). We were sat down and waited for 20-25 mins and no one took our drink order. While other servers and someone who I believe may have been the manager stared at us multiple times, we waited patiently to be served. During our time waiting, the hostess came to tell us that our server should be with us soon and that she had to remind him of our table. We were very excited to try to food and support local today; however we were quickly let down by the service we received. I completely understand a busy night but no one spoke to us for at least 20 mins. read more

This was our first time going to Capri's but it won't be our last. The food was absolutely delicious and service was awesome. The bread served before the meal was addictive but wish the olive oil was complimentary. I had the lobster ravioli which was amazing. read more
