The food is always amazing and the fried chicken is outstanding every single time. The staff is efficient, courteous, and always does a great job taking care of customers. The atmosphere is pleasant, comfortable, and makes for a great dining experience. If I could change one thing, it would only be to swap the whole baby carrot in the salad for chopped or shredded carrots since they're a little easier to eat. Other than that, Capponi's is consistently excellent and a place I highly recommend!

My friend and I ate out on the patio which was small but very nice. I had the veal pasta scallopini . It was good but the veal was alittle chewy. I believe it should of been pounded out thinner which would of made it more tender .I have had veal many times and the veal is always thinner and tender. Other then that the favor was good . My friend had the smothered chicken and she really liked it . I hope the restaurant does well S the town needs a nice place to enjoy a meal

Ambiance = to any other restaurant in the country…read more Service = to the finest restaurants in the US. Food = to anything worldwide. The owner/chef came out to introduce himself since he was informed that my wife and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. This was our first time ever at the restaurant and I am disappointed that while living in Peoria, IL for 50 years I never had been there before. Now it's the only place I will go out to dinner at when I am in Peoria. The address is actually listed as 3218 N. Dries Lane in Peoria, IL and is across from the old Landmark Theatre on Dries Ln. You can actually locate it off of University St. also.

The food was not of the best quality in general. It seemed (like everything else) average quality product to build the plates...leading then to average dishes. The food wasn't salted well nor particularly flavorful. Service-wise, we had to constantly try to find someone to provide for needs. Service did not anticipate needs or the service required.

Located on Seminary Street, cute shops surround and on street parking available. Unassuming from the outside and purely historic, refurbished, recycled everything inside. Jazz and classic rock was playing on a record player. Staff was lovely and helpful with questions. Order at the counter and take a seat. Glasses are chilled, no ice. Canned sodas, water, alcoholic beverages available. Pizza has 4 sizes, specials and make your own. Sandwiches, salads. I chose the goat cheese and herb pizza and it was sooooo good. Chewy yet crunchy, the crust is perfection. Takes 20-30 minutes when not just. Worth the wait. Will definitely come back when we are in the area.

I believe that my search for the BEST PIZZA in the world (outside of Italy) has ended…read more "BAKED PIZZA" in Galesburg, Illinois (you read correctly, ILLINOIS!) serves an unbelievable pie. I had a five hour layover between Amtrak journeys (Southwest Chief and California Zephyr) so wanted to have best possible nosh in this Abraham-Lincoln-Slept-Here town within walking distance from the train depot. Thanks to Google Maps, Baked Pizza was top on the list. Sadly, they are closed on Sundays - my scheduled stop in Galesburg. So, I went to another local pizza place. That was an unfortunate disappointment. But, say hallelujah!, my return trip was on a Wednesday, so Baked Pizza was my highest priority. And color me grateful to Google Maps! Fortunately, I found this little hole-in-the-wall without difficulty. I entered into a brick sided wonderland. It must have been a white rabbit that led me there. I could not believe my otherworldly experience. I was greeted by the most cordial of greeter, Estefania. She was ever so patient and accommodating with my hearing disability. Baked Pizza was off to a great start! I took my time deciding which of the Lewis Carroll's fantasy pizzas to choose while I sipped their Two Hearted IPA. The Herbs and Goat Cheese was the winner. And what a winner it is! Dominated by basil, the herbs are fresh and wonderful. The mozzarella are geniusly complimented by the gentle goat cheese. And the herbs! Youd think that you were in Provence! Finally, and not at all leastly, the garlic oil is a finishing touch without equal. I admit that I dismissed the garlic oil as an advertising gimmick. Nay, I say! This seemingly add-on is essential. It is a must for the definive crispy crust! IMO, there is no equal. So, the next time you're within 500 mile if Galesburg Illinois, try Baked Pizza. You won't be sorry.
