Went to Osteria Capri for my birthday. After reading the negative reviews and some positive, we gave it a try. First of all ,the owner has his buddies that he dotes on, he could care less about anyone else. Food was so-so..my husband had the black risotto with seafood. 1 octopus tenticle and 2 shrimp $55.00. The waiter said because they were out of scallops, they would put extra shrimp/octopus, but it didn't happen. We had the artichoke appetizer, which was good. My Vodka drinks, were $18.00 each for a watered-down drink. Then the bill came and we were over charged for the amount of drinks we had and a $6.00 charge to use a credit card. We are not cheap in anyway, but this place is a big Rip off. read more

Absolutely amazing! This is going to be my to go favorite restaurant now. From the decor to food everything was just perfect. We sat outside right on the water and enjoyed our dinner with Italian wine. Pasta is made in the morning - they use Italian flour ( which made me the happiest as I am glutarded) Gnocchis with four cheese sauce were delish. Pizza was outstanding. Fresh organic products. Desert ( limoncello mascarpone cake) melted in my mouth. Been to many osterias around but this Is the Best Osteria in Swfl !!!! read more

My family had a wonderful experience celebrating Thanksgiving at this establishment. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and was completely stuffed by the end of the meal. If we weren't leaving tomorrow, most of us would've totally taken our leftovers to go as they were so delicious! The outdoor seating was great for the nice weather too. My only complaint for this restaurant was that the music played through the speakers was a bit annoying. The live music inside looked great and I wish I would've gotten to listen in. If you're in the Naples/ Marco area definitely check this place out! read more

Service was extremely slow. Had to change my entree choice as no substitutions were allowed. Had to order our entire dinner and appetizer all at once. Waiter seemed overwhelmed. There were several heaters and none of them worked. Prices were ridiculously high. Food was fair at best. read more

We dine here about once a month and really enjoy the ambience, food and all the staff. Tonight my husband had very fresh Cacio e' Pepe and I had traditional Italian Lasagna. Both were delicious! The bread was fresh out of the oven! We watched the sunset over the water and enjoyed our meal. read more

Osteria Capri - Wonderful waterside dining. - Pizza Near Me - Naples, Florida

I love a good small business and will support when and if I can - however, it's only fair to call out those that cost you $$$ and are taking well deserved business from others..hence my review. ...If with good company, your company deserves five stars, but this place deserves zero for lack of flavor, customer service and anything else. Our kind waitress wasn't even informed we were a table sat in her section after waiting 15 minutes without seeing anyone to give us water or really good free bread. The waitress knew her stuff - she was amazing and I don't fault her for our experience, but the kitchen failed to deliver on the hype. Were the artichoke hearts and bottle of wine good? YES. The rest was beyond bland! I even asked a staff member (sarcastically) if they intentionally made their sauces bland...her response, yes. ‍WTF!?!? The $45 per dish on sea bass was not worth it. Nor were the ~$30 plates that required massive salt and Parmesan - please know this is coming from people that are clean eaters trying to enjoy/splurge on vacation. Sorry to be a buzz kill - we didn't trust the negative reviews and wish we had. Good news, our experience was elevated by the bad bishes I was with. If your company/dining companions aren't fun, then please make this a hard pass- unless you like to throw money away - then this place is your jam. ‍you cannot say you've not been warned. Icing on the we made a reservation for four and should have been 5 (our accident) When my friend said it's okay, we can squeeze "we are small" the hostess looked my friend up and down smirked. Umm - not okay....no judgement needed boo‍ read more

Food was bland. We didn't like an entree, no taste, too dry. told our server (a trainee) & all she said OK!! She really didn't care. She Shd have said something like I'm sorry, is there something I can do for you!! At least acknowledge my complaint. At these prices we did expect better food If I could I'd give it zero stars. read more

Terrible service and steak!! Owner was a complete asshole. Steak was dog meat and owner wouldn't take off bill. read more

Had a bad experience a month ago but decided it might have been because it was later and 3 couples. So we decided to book 5PM for first reservation to get our favorite table. We arrived at 4:55 and were ignored and they seated couples with 5:15 and 5:30 reservations. It is now permanently off our list. read more

We made 6 pm reservations and specifically asked for a table inside due to an elderly family member. We showed up promptly and we're told it would be a 30+ minute wait unless we wanted to eat outside in the freezing cold porch. The hostess was very rude and basically told us we should have known better to not expect a table inside. When we made the reservation for an inside table it was never mentioned that was not guaranteed. Based on the horrible reviews I just read I guess it was a blessing we left and had a great meal down the street. We will never go back to this place. read more

Great service! Food (seafood) was really good and nice ambiance with live romantic music being played a guitarist. John the server was really attentive and professional. Genuinely enjoyed every moment. read more

Terrible experience at Osteria Capri. We had requested an outside table and were told on Open Table that we had one. Upon arrival we were told that no request is guaranteed, however there were plenty of outside tables available. The manager had an attitude and told us that inside was better due to no bugs. There were no bugs outside. Our waitress also seemed to have an attitude and was not responsive to our request to buy another couple a round of drinks. We had to get her to do it once the check arrived. Additionally we were seated next to 2 very loud parties. I ask to move due to the noise and was tolls that was not possible. I got the impression that we were being punished for raising legitimate issues. Due to all this the dinner was a disaster and left 4 people with the idea that we will never go back. There are too many high end Italian restaurants in the area to waste my time here. The food was ok, nothing special. As a matter of fact my linguine cache e Pepe was of a quality similar to Carrabors. A poor place to go, don't waste your money here, overpriced and underperforming. Everything needs to improve starting with customer service, which they have obviously never heard of. read more

It was a beautiful experience dining in this restaurant. Service and food are superb in any way. We had a carpaccio di carne to share as well as lamb osso buco as a main dish and both were prepared to perfection. It was a special occasion and we chose the best place to celebrate. read more

I can not even give this a star. Most rude service I have ever received. 3 hours is the restaurant. Wrong food served. They still charged us! Did not offer anything for being wrong. Argued with us repeatedly. I would not recommend for anyone. Tables around us changed over twice and as a former waitress everything about the service was totally wrong Please reconsider ever walking into this place. Rude, overpriced and will argue that they are correct as well as you will walk out with a huge bill. read more

Valentines Day dinner was a bust. Lipstick marks and water spots on mismatched glasses was our first impression. Half filled cocktails, unfriendly and stressed staff, and odd large salad encroaching on our main course veal saltimbocca plate. Our reservation was for 6:30, arrived early and seated at the busy entrance, across from bar, where everyone waits for their table and musician hovers. Not a good first impression. read more

It is so loud in the main restaurant u feel miserable!!!!! The food was awful very low grade. The waitress was pleasant but not competent. She did not refill water, she was slow, she did not refill oil and balsamic for the bread etc. The restaurant was old but not clean. I had the "signature dish" the Chilean Sea Bass and risotto. The sea bass was not sea bass, the risotto was bland, and the artichoke had hair on it, yuck, One star is generous. RG & FG read more

Ok. Dinner at osteria on isle of capri. Hard to rate. Some things were fantastic: chilean sea bass, zuppa de pesce. Some things were a really good value: the zuppa. Some things were expensive but worth it- sea bass, $50 - enough for two. Some things weren't - the 5 x 2 lasagna, $24. The service was hor-ri-ble. The green on the plate with the entree: 3 pieces of undressed lettuce with a halved cherry tomato. Bad. The pita with olive oil to start: so stale you couldn't bite it. Then the fact that they don't have a full liquor license. The location is beautiful. At the end, we had paid the bill, ready to go , but had to wait till the owner's wife shushed everyone so she could sing some horrible opera acapela. Charged $7 for water, which they poured upon arrival. So some good, but outweighed by the bad. Give it a miss. read more

Go for the view. Go to look at the water. Don't go to eat there. This restaurant is perched right on the water. The view--especially sunsets--are wonderful. If only the food even tried to match the views. Service is hectic. the staff seems be trying hard, but it appears there isn't enough of them. There also apparently isn't a chef in the kitchen. Spaghetti carbonara might have given something from a can of Chef Boyardee a run for it's money. The salmon is doused with (many things, way too many things). And so it goes. None of this seemed to detract from the desire of patrons to dine there, however. On a Saturday evening, every tables was occupied. Go figure. read more

This place is a little bit hit and miss... Last night our dinner was subpar, but I am not sure why. Perhaps the chef/owner was not working that night? Seafood pasta was a bit bland, the octopus appetizer was somewhat lifeless, and the bread starter was not nearly as tasty as we remember. Although it's a pricey restaurant, portions are large, so expect to take a doggy bag. I was in the restaurant business and sometimes there are glitches depending on who shows up, who doesn't etc. I hope this was an anomaly because most of our meals there have been spectacular. The location is divine as well overlooking the water. That guitar player was excellent. We had a nice chat about Django Reinhardt and his outstanding guitar skills. This fellow's charm and expertise on his guitar really made the evening special. read more

Service is horrendous and owner rude Boy do I miss the blue heron What shame Can't wait someone else to take over this beautiful location read more

Everything was fabulous -except our waiter The first time we had impeccable service and food to match Not do much the second time read more

This place will not be around for long if they continue to operate in such a poor manner. Menu substitutions / small changes are strictly prohibited, as is bringing your own wine. Adding chicken or shrimp to a salad is a $14-16 up-charge; a small salad with 3 shrimp was $27. We usually don't complain but this felt like a scam. The food is decent, but is not worth the insane pricing or aggravation. We will take our business elsewhere. read more

Scam and overpriced. Tried to sell $29 champagne for $140. Owner didn't have mask and instead solve a problem, he showed very rude and aggressive behavior. When we tried to explain situation and complain, he refused to serve us! First time so negative experience! read more

We already had reservations for dinner but heard that Osteria Capri was participating in Sizzle Dine. I called to ask if that 3 course dinner promotion was applicable to our existing reservation and was told Sizzle Dine was starting in several more days. Elena, co-owner of the restaurant, then proceeded to tell me their promotion currently running was 40% off your dinner check which of course I was thrilled about. The food was good, the view stunning and the decor was similar to a diner. When the check came with no discount we explained to the waiter what was said to me over the phone about 40% off the final bill. The other co-owner of the restaurant came over and said there were stipulations, you needed to order before 6:30 pm, it was only for parties of 2 to 4 people and we should've read what was on the website. I told him the woman did not say there were certain requirements, only the fact we would receive 40% off the check. Unfortunately, we only received $20.00 each off our dinners which ranged in price between $45.00 to $65.00 an entree, we also ordered appetizers, beverages and desserts...so much for the 40% off the one owner, Elena, lied about. Also, when I returned home I went to their website and couldn't find any information regarding their currently running promotion Elena mentioned let alone the stipulations. In addition to all of this the waiter gave us the impression this was not the first time this issue happened. Needless to say as local year round residents we won't be back, and bad reviews spread faster than good ones. read more

We went tonight on their soft opening. First off, the food was delicious but there were a few kinks that needed to be worked out. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal: had grilled octopus, lobster spaghetti and the tiramisu. Hubby had caprese, chicken picatta and limoncello cake. Everything tasted wonderful. Down side was hubby was still hungry after chicken, it was one piece and he had to order a side of pasta because he was still hungry. If his order for $23 had another piece of chicken or a side of pasta, he would have been satisfied. Also since it was the soft opening, they had to work out a lot of kinks like beer selection, or lack of any coffee or tea and the service although nice wasn't very accurate or attentive to say the least. If they can work these minor things out, they will be a success. I would definitely go back to enjoy the meal but not for a few months. read more

Start to finish, Osteria Capri was outstanding. Great, professional, knowledgeable service. Wine list was deep and well priced, with choices from California to Italy to Germany. We started with a couple of Pizzas to share for appetizers, and could have made the pizzas our meal. We all ordered seafood, from the special swordfish toscana, just delicious. A couple of us ordered the grouper in a livornaise sauce, which was excellent. Dessert was a cannoli, fresh filled. Among the best I've had anywhere. Live music topped off the experience. Go, enjoy, mangia bene. read more

Just not what anyone would expect with the prices they are charging for subpar food. Never again.

Over priced. Service was fine. Nothing special about the food. It was nice to sit by the water. Didn't like how they offer tap water

My snapper special was good. The diesel fumes were a bit overpowering and the bug spray misted over our table 3 times while we we seated. My friend got the sea bass special and it was horribly tough. Disclaimer-if you send back a full plate with 2 bites gone, you are still charged $55 for the meal. read more

Just dined here as a group of four, while our server was attentive their policies leave a lot to be desired. One member of our party ordered the special sea bass and after a bite and a half sent it back because the fish was sub par. We were still charged because she ate more than one bite. A $55 dish should be edible at least. Very disappointing and won't be back. read more

Absolute atrocity. To call themselves an Italian restaurant is an insult to Italians. Each course for each person in the party had something that was just inferior to the expectations from the prices on the menu. My imagination tells me that a long time ago; an Italian opened a restaurant, he probably cared, it had to be his baby. He probably cooked a lot himself. Maybe had family or other local Italians cooking with him. As the years passed and the restaurant was a success he saw some opportunities to cut corners. Now it's all corners. No one cares for the customer from staff not notice the customers are leaving full plates. Overcooked everything! Octopus, fish, veal! Even the pasta was falling apart with a fork. When the waiter called over the owner he insisted on cooking another piece of fish. (Completely different fish than the first one ) this time salmon, I had some hope...I thought maybe the owner cooked it. My husband started eating it from the top. Completely raw inside. They asked if we wanted another piece of fish??? No, we exclaimed! Then proceeded to allow us to pay $190 w/o drinks for this monstrosity of an evening. Never again. And to the regulars..why?? And to anyone else looking expect a very expensive version of Italian sushi on your plate. The cooks in the back could care less what was coming out of the kitchen and the owner is too happy to take your money and the server didn't care about the table. But he got his 20%. read more

First dinner at Osteria was disappointing but due to the beautiful location, we gave it a second try last night. Food is simply not good and they generate traffic solely because of their location. Food quality would not beat Carraba's never mind my favorite, Tuilia's. Spinach salad delivered without the balsamic dressing and waiter implied I was wrong. Lasagna was more like a lumpy stew stew with pasta. Meatballs were an insult to meatballs. Bread was like Texas Toast from Long Horn. Tiramisu was delivered to the table...frozen! Finally, with no wind in the sky and the water as smooth as glass we asked to sit outside. We were seated in the only outdoor section with the plastic foul weather tarp unfolded and down. When asked if the tarp could be rolled up, the waiter quickly stated they must be kept down due to wind! There was no wind. We drove 45 minutes to a restaurant to sit outside to enjoy a sunset on a day with perfect weather but had to view it through a dirty plastic tarp! read more

Worst food, service, and ambiance in Naples. I do not recommend this place. Anyone going would be better off to go to Olive Garden. Owner insults my mother and incredibly rude. In addition they overcharged us on the horrible dish on top of sub par food and the service was atrocious. There are so many fantastic Italian restaurants in Naples. Food truck on the water. Save your money and time. Life's too short to eat at this joint. read more

For those of you considering dining at Osteria Capri....please rethink your choice. My wife and I recently had a bad experience at this "trendy" Italian restaurant. Upon arriving for our 5:30 reservation we we given a terrible table in the aside under an A/C vent. When we inquired about getting another table, we were told no, in a very condescending dismissive way. When I persisted, I was told to go somewhere else, as he had "100 other people who would take the table and not complain. We immediately got up and left, and found another restaurant where we were treated much better. Good reviews and water views are not worth putting up with this arrogant, pompous treatment. read more
