We went here with a large group for lunch. The Italian restaurant is right next to the Mexican restaurant but you can sit in either side and order from both menus, we sat in the Mexican side. The Italian side atmosphere was traditional white linen table cloths and an open atmosphere and the Mexican side had interesting art work on the walls and less formal. Both were welcoming. There was plenty of parking outside and as soon as we walked in they sat us right away and got our drink orders and bought us our menus and bought us very delicious warm garlic rolls. Our waitress was always available. She kept our drinks full and our table clean. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. And they give you a lot of food. My order came with a choice of soup or a salad. I had the salad and it was very crisp and fresh. My only complaint was the spaghetti sauce was a little watery, but it was very tasty and the meatballs were incredibly good. It was a great place to go for lunch. The noise level was perfect. We were able to enjoy conversations and it was a relaxing atmosphere. They offer a menu with many choices and the prices were good. read more

Great food. With a mix of Mexican and Italian dishes. The menu is very big. We stated off sharing a soup & a salad. For entrees, we shared a pizza and the stuffed shells. For dessert, we chose the churros! Major bonus, they support the troops and offer a 10% discount year round! read more

Richard Accursio's Capri Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Florida City, Florida

Very good clean restaurant went back 3 times for dinner last week when we were in Florida city. someone in key largo recommended this restaurant One of the best in the area read more

We had a very good lunch experience here! The waitress was pleasant. It has two menus-- a mexican and italian. It still serves all of the same menu items that Capri's old owner did, but now combines it with Mayamex menu items. They brought us chips and salsa AND garlic knots, which were much appreciated. The knots were warm and fresh, and they werent overwhelming with the amount of garlic. Mayamex still has the best salsa recipe in homestead (in my opinion) so was very happy to have that here! We both had side house salads with our meals (we recommend the creamy garlic dressing!) For mains we had the eggplant parmesan and the veal scallopini. The eggplant was very good and the sauce was flavorful, very heavy on the cheese maybe could go a little lighter. The veal scallopini had a great mushroom/pepper marinara type sauce and came with spaghettis on the side. the cool thing is you can opt to put additional scallopini sauce on the side of spaghetti instead of traditional marinara (if you want). The wait time was a bit long but that is my only minor complaint. read more

This place was an utter disaster. We showed up and were sat immediately. Then we waited for 20 minutes. No waiter came to our table. Then the host comes over doubling up as a food runner offering to bring us bread. I asked for a pitcher of water since our waters were empty. This took 5 minutes. Then when he came back, I asked if we had a waiter because we had been completely ignored. Waiters walked by dozens of times and didn't seem to care. Finally we were told the host forgot to assign us a waiter, and he tried to take our orders but knew nothing about the menu. Our waitress finally rushes over and relieves him, taking our orders. We give her our food and drink orders and continue the wait. Drinks take another 15 minutes to arrive. Waitress never checks in on refills. Food takes another 30 minutes minimum. We're just left to sit there starving and thirsty. When the food finally arrives, they gave the medium well steak to the person that ordered medium rare and vice versa. The person that got the scampi got a mediocre looking pasta with a bunch of sauce and no seasoning. It was bland. I got the Molcajete (the waitress asked how I want the steak done which was an odd question for this dish). It came with little flavor and giant globs of melted cheese, and 4 tiny tortillas like they were supposed to be big enough to wrap anything in the molcajete. Drinks weren't refilled until we were pretty much done with our food, again by the host/food runner who managed to accidentally drop the f bomb at our table. Finally the waitress shows up again, and the only thing that comes quickly is a check. All in all, we ended up stuck at this place for 2 hours, with a baby who was getting impatient when the meal should have been 45 minutes tops. We saw our waitress 3 times, one of which was to deliver a check. The dining experience was so bad that we wanted to leave an hour in, and managed to get trapped there by the bad service, and paid about $150 for some very mediocre food. I would not recommend this place to anyone and will not be back again. read more

Family dinner; celebration of my twins birthday! Very nice! Manicotti and Chicken Parmesan very nice. Service impeccable; we were a party of 12. Thank you Pablita and Dori for a lovely experience! Definitely a do-over! read more

We had the escargot appetizer, zucchini fries, the bread which is soooo good and dipped that into the escargot sauce.... Fabulous!! Dinner was the chicken cordon bleu with linguini pasta in Alfredo sauce, I got extra to take home. Hubby had the Capri steak with Angel hair pasta in garlic olive oil, & our son had the chicken piccata over spaghetti. Each was really large portions and so good. Service was excellent. Dessert was the cannoli and tiramisu.... Superb!! If you want really great Italian food bring your friends and family here. They will not disappoint. read more

We had a not so great experience here because our server was also dealing with a very large party with separate checks that was very demanding of his time... Overlooking that, it was an above-average but not amazing Italian/Steakhouse. The menu is definitely large with choices to please anyone. The food quality was very good, prices were a bit higher than I would have liked for what was offered. This place is clearly a local institution. Everyone seemed to know everyone. The servers all bragged of working there a very long time. I understand that management may have changed recently, although staying in the family. I think this place may be living on its reputation to some degree and a bit past its prime. However, there may not be a lot of choices for good restaurants in this area. I would give it another try but I was not amazed by it. read more

Super salty mediocre Italian food. The Marsala sauce tasted jarred, the chicken was chewy, food served warm and expensive for what it was. I'll pass thanks read more

Place is closed now a Mexican resteraunt in the pizza side and not sure what's on the other looked unorganized and the old barmaid was ruse so we left before we tried anything including a drink from the old bat! read more

Now changed to Mayamex. Two days ago:The Italian sampler,no good,Same flavor the 3 pieces on it. Bread fresh.Food milanesa,I think it's not fresh prepared,no crust on it,soft like old prepared and the humidity took the breading.White tables cover.Good service.Food took long time and only 3 tables.8:30pm.I will not return,nothing there for us. read more

we were very disappointed with the service. We had gone there for a date night and upon finishing our meal asked for a dessert menu, waiter took awhile to come back to take our order when we were then told the kitchen had closed. There was still tables including a huge party seated. we did not make it a big deal but were disappointed with the waiter handing us a menu and never making it back to complete our order...... read more

Did a to go order on slice. No concerns for order it was correct and on time. The food was really good. Try the gator bites! Kids really liked the cheese pizza, wish they had jumbo size. My veggie pizza had to go in the oven when I got home, it was pretty much a cheese pizza with raw vegetables put on top. Next time I will put in comments to cook vegetables on veggie pizza. I plan to return and when I feel pandemic safer I would like to dine in. Restaurant looks interesting and nice. Staff that greeted me upon entering was personable and helpful. read more

Service is horrible! Stopped by to order pizza to go and it took forever. I will never do that again. read more

I have been here many times over the past two decades, but it had been a while. Last night I went with some friends and my family, and it was just as great as I remember. They sat us in the wine room, and while the place was jumping and the service was very busy, our server did the best she could, and was very attentive and the food and the cocktails were excellent. Definitely going back soon. read more

I came by The Capri Restaurant two weeks ago for a number of reasons. 1) I live relatively near the restaurant and have passed by a lot of times and always wanted to try it out. 2) My boss and I were going to have dinner and discuss business and he wanted to try this place out to. We actually originally started by going next door to Pub 935, which looks to be owned by the same owners as the Capri. When we entered the Capri we were quickly ushered to a table. At 6:00 pm on a Wednesday, we were the only customers there. As time went on, the restaurant started to fill up to about close to half capacity. Plenty of older locals came, other reviewers were spot on about this place being a local favorite. The decor looks like an old school Italian restaurant, nice bar area, also has an outdoor eating area. Our waiter brought us their bread and some butter (which was delicious and so good I had to ask for a second helping) and took our orders. I played it safe and asked for chicken cordon blue, my boss ordered some type of pasta. My boss loved his pasta, I enjoyed the chicken cordon blue but I wasn't blown away by it either. It was a pretty good meal. read more

Mayamex at Capri in Florida City was awesome! Our server, Destiny, was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Her recommendation of the Carne Asada fries was right on! I have never tasted such an extraordinary combination. The quesobirria was cheesy, beefy goodness. The margueritas were better than anything else in the area. We will be back again and again. read more

My girlfriends and I decided to eat dinner at Capri's one night. The last time that I have been was for a high school banquet about 20 years ago, so it was like experiencing it for the first time all over again. It's been known to be a local favorite and you can tell when you're inside that it has plenty of loyal customers. Our wait time for a table was about 10 minutes on a Friday night. Inside the establishment has a very nice and appealing decor. There are plenty of tables, so you are very close to each other. We were able to hear the conversations near by and I'm pretty sure they heard ours. The waiter was very helpful and had a pleasant attitude. He was able to adjust our orders accordingly. The only problem was that when he gave us a few minutes to look over the menu it took him a while to finally come back to write down our order. The food felt like it took a long time to come out as well. I decided to play it safe and get the Chicken Limone with au gratin potatoes and a Caesar side salad. The food was delicious and cooked very well. Also, their garlic bread was very soft and yummy. read more

This is a great local place that utilizes the local produce within their cuisine. The place has excellent services and white linen table clothes. It is a very nice atmosphere for families and/or business meetings. Many of the staff have become friends of several patrons, remembering names, birthdays and special orders. It's the small touches that give this place 5-stars +. Food is excellent, I would recommend the daily chef's specials and ask what local produced is being used. My family enjoyed the high quality ingredients Capri's uses in their pizza and offend we purchase an extra pizza to go! There is a full service bar and a great selection of spirts if your meal needs a compliment. I feel this place is a solid 5 star because of its consistency, quality of ingredients, service, final food product/ presentation and general pride and maintenance within the organization and staff. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great Italian food and so authentic! Plus the fish and steak are truly awesome! Great service and atmosphere. Our new favorite in FL City.... Just moved from Miami after 52 years.... Refreshing! read more

Fine Italian dinning at a local gem. This quaint restaurant was established in 1958. Place is clean and nicely decorated. This was our first time going and we are looking forward to coming back. The food was so delicious; they have an extensive menu. I love veal and really liked the fact they prepare it in about 5 different ways. Their chocolate cake and coffee is delicious too. They have a charming little courtyard for outside sitting and have a couple of dinning rooms to accommodate private parties and events. read more

Been coming here for years and have not had a bad meal yet. The service is always good as well. I usually get one of the following; Chicken Parmesan, Escargot, Scallop Potatoes, Spaghetti with either Meatballs or Sausage, Spaghetti Carbonara, Lasagna, Prime Rib, Steak, Pizza, Rum Cake, Cannoli or Tiramisu. Everything is good here. Monday thru Fridays from 1100 to 200, is their Lunch Buffet, with each day having a different main dish, but always has the Salad Bar, Soups, Pizza and made to order meals or you can order from the Menu. Capri also has a fully stocked Bar. If you are in the South Dade/Homestead?Florida City area, this is one place to go to for a great meal. . read more

Just a great place to be. I should go EVERY WEEK. The staff remembers me and it's nice to be remembered!!

Love the new Large Marge Margarita! Made with Milagro Tequila and real lime juice. If you like Margarita's you will love this one. We also had the fried stuffed mushrooms. They were delicious. Our favorite meal is the blackened filet. It is tender, the seasoning is not too spicy and they top it off with crumbled blue cheese slightly melted. I like the twice baked potato as my side. read more

We are locals, but this was our first visit to this local popular restaurant The overall experience was very satisfying. The place looks nice, classic European style, nice music, mostly 70-S and 80-s. The restaurant was quiet, not noisy at all. Service was fast, food was delicious. What else we need, right? We will be back for sure, probably with friends and family. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a whim last night, not really knowing what to expect. We could smell the aromas coming from the kitchen while still in the parking lot, and it made us even hungrier. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and we both commented on how great the service was - something we're not used to in Miami. You don't feel like they're rushing you out the door, they wait until you're done with your appetizer before bringing the salad, and wait until you're done with your salad before bringing your entree. My boyfriend ordered the calamari (which is how he judges how good an Italian restaurant is). I don't eat calamari... it's a mental thing. But I tried it and it wasn't at all chewy. He said it was one of the better calamaris he's had. Our meals came with either soup or salad. I had a side caesar, and he had cream of potato soup. My caesar was good, with fresh lettuce, but had a bit too much dressing for my taste. His soup was tasty, but could have used a dash of salt and pepper. For our main entrees, he ordered the chicken parm, which came with a side of spaghetti, while I had the manicotti. He enjoyed the chicken, and I really liked the manicotti - the sauce was a tomato sauce that wasn't too chunky, and it came topped with a very generous amount of mozzarella. It came with two crepes filled with ricotta, but with the really delicious bread they give you, plus the salad, neither of us could finish our meals. Right now they're celebrating their 50th anniversary, so they have a lot of specials going on. I believe one of them is 50% to go pizzas Monday through Thursday. When we first came in, someone was walking out with four pizzas, and they smelled fantastic, so we're definitely going to take advantage of that special soon! Overall, the quality of the food was pretty good, and the service was excellent. I'm sure we'll be back :) read more

We went to our son's wedding and found this Italian restaurant and wow did we get a nice surprise. The first time we had a party of 10 and it was great, the following night we had 14 and even better. The owner Rich, is an awesome guy and our waitress Ms Pablita was spectacular, took care of us from apps to desert and after dinner drinks. The food was like dining in Boston's North End, even the bartender who's been there since they opened was funny and nice. And not to leave out the bus staff, they were impeccable too. Do not miss an authentic Italian experience at Capri in Florida City on Krome Ave. read more

This restaurant has been a family favorite for over 50 years! The food is delicious, plentiful, and not at all overpriced. We ate for 2 days on the leftovers! read more

Best food in south Florida. Staff is attentive and knowledgeable. Don't drive to the keys without stopping here

Went in the other evening to eat with my family. The service was on point. Our waiter was great. He was very sweet, informative, thorough, and well mannered. The calamari we ordered tasted plain and dry. The salads were ok. The lasagna was a small portion. Smaller than expected. Kids pizza tasted great. Nothing really pulls me back in for a second round. read more

Just the greatest place to eat and have a relaxing drink thanks BS read more

do not get their pizza. peaked in the kitchen and they use jarred tomato sauce and premade dough. can't event throw a crust right. i'm not exasperating when i say the outer edges of the crust were thick and hard as rocks but the center was about as thin as a piece of paper. was unable to hold toppings and the pizza fell apart when our waitress was serving us. literally was mush and ripped in half. please learn how to cook before you work in a restaurant. an absolute joke of an Italian restaurant. also don't know why cordon blue was on the menu... it's an ITALIAN restaurant. my fams been eating here since they've opened and it's inedible now. so disappointed. read more

Food is always amazing! We have ordered several times. Ordered delivery and all arrived perfectly.

I've been eating here for the last 20 years. My family eats together here at least once a year for my mom's birthday because its her favorite restraunt; she's a super fan to say the least! However, she's not writing this review today & I'm going to be brutally honest; this place is just ok. I think it may have been an amazing restraunt before my time, but I think it lost its luster along the way and the people who still see it as amazing are living in a dream of what used to be. When you walk in you'll see a dining area with as many large round tables as they could pack into one place as possible. The hostess will walk you to your table and your waitress/waitor will greet you about 10 minutes later. Keep in mind that half the staff has worked here over 20 years so they may be a little slower than your modern restaurant. Remember to pick up your jaw after you see the menu because while the options are plentiful, the fair prices are not. Be prepared to spend at least $20 per entree, even if you're just getting spaghetti. I've tried many things on the menu but I can't say I'm a super fan of anything. The spaghetti is really bland. I know how horrible this is going to sound but it reminds me of cafeteria food. Plain noodles with a small blanket of seasonless sauce laid on top. The steaks (at least all the ones I've tried) are not tender, and again lack seasoning. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love steak and when cooked right you need minimal seasonings to enjoy the meat itself. You're just not going to get that experience here. If you plan on ordering any alcoholic beverages plan on your bill going over the $100 mark for 2 people. All in all, I've spent the last 20 years trying to see what my mom sees in this restaurant and I still haven't found it yet. While I love my mom, I just don't love this restaurant. read more

We had Chicken Francese and sausage with peppers and onions. Both over angel hair pasta. FANTASTIC! The flavors exploded on the palette; both were the best dishes ever. Highly recommend; Understand they are an extremely well established restaurant that has been in business a long time, since 1958. Definitely feel the nostalgia. Does not take away from the flavors! read more

We almost missed out on this gem because of some of the negative reviews. Party of seven on a Thursday night. We were seated right away. The food was delicious and there were many options. The waiter was attentive. There's also a military discount! read more

Great food and great service, I will come back again . I have lived in Homestead for many years

New management is not getting it done. Walked in and was seated okay, but our waitress didn't come over. The guy who sat us, and apparently is the nephew of the new owner, saw this and finally came over and took our appetizer order. We had waited so long that we collectively (the nephew and those of us at the table) decided he should also bring soup and salads at the same time. When the appetizers were ready, it was again the nephew, not the waitress that brought them. The waitress finally showed up to take our dinner order. That didn't go well either. My younger so. Asked for lobster tail. She said they were out. So we let him read over the menu again while we moved on to my older son. He asked for stuffed shells. They were out of that too! He got the cannelloni instead. I had the veal scalloping, my wife eggplant parm, my niece the spaghetti and meatballs. We get back to my younger son and he orders a steak with a baked potato. Guess what? They were out of baked potatoes too! He ends up getting potatoes Aug gratin. Interesting note, I couldn't understand what she was saying and finally figured out that the waitress didn't know how to pronounce the word Au gratin. Another interesting observation...if you don't have potatoes for baking, how are you making Au gratin? Anyway, after getting though that ordeal, we finally get dinner. It was served by someone other than our waitress again and the person serving didn't know what the dinner he was serving was called . He called it cacciatore when it was actually scalloping. He had no idea what he was serving or what it was supposed to look like. So now to the end of the story. None of the five of us enjoyed his or her meal. Not one good dish and that includes the appetizers which were calamari and stuffed baked mushroom caps. All bad! This is really a shame. Don't waste your money here. read more
