Caprese

Dinner yesterday was a disappointment. Have been there several times before and heard from friends that it took a downturn. We ordered staple Chicken Parmigiana dinner which says on the menu it is a chicken cutlet. We have had that in the past and it was good. We were served Chicken patties with canned sauce and when we questioned what it was that she served us she was too embarrassed to confirm after speaking with the ‘chef’. $ 14 for a chicken patty and pasta is too too much and confirms to us that we will cross this place off our list.,

While dropping off someone at the salon next door one morning, saw that several tables had not been bussed from the night before. Can’t bring myself to eat there anymore.

Love the food! The garlic rolls are to die for, as is their spaghetti. Great pizza, too! The only complaint I have is the server named Debbie. She never smiles and can be quite rude. Also, she isn’t very attentive. Takes her a while to refill drinks and such.

We are new to the area and this is our favorite Pizza. The garlic knots are delicious too. We served this pizza to our guests from PA and AL and they loved it!

They’ve been around all nine years we’ve lived here and it’s a great local restaurant to have a good Italian meal. Love the spinach stuffed shells and the kids LOVED the pizza ;) It was the perfect ending to a busy day of homework, errands and shopping with the kids.

If you love Italian food, this is fantastic restaurant. Fresh ingredients, healthy portions and a vast array of choices. I am so glad we have such a great Italian restaurant close by.

I come here on a regular basis and enjoy the small atmosphere and great Italian food. The pizzas are great here and so is the pasta dishes. They bring out soft buttered garlic rolls to start out with and have to say they are addicting. A great place and different from other Italian places I have visited.

Great salad and garlic knots! We got the smoked chicken ravioli and a football-​size calzone!

Left this place very disappointed. Rude, and not so friendly server named Debbie. Served others before us when we got there 10 minutes earlier. Never ever telling people about this place. Pasta was very dry, and chicken tastes like sunny side up eggs.

Our go to place for real Italian food or pizza. A very nice ambiance. You can tell that the owners care about service and quality. Try the deli pizza. A small will feed me and I am a big boy. I always have some to take home.

Have ordered pizza from here before and found it to be quite good. Decided to visit the place and dine in with my daughter.
I ordered the baked penne with meat sauce; my daughter ordered the spaghetti with marinara sauce. I was greatly disappointed. The baked ziti had very little flavor. My daughter, a picky eater who does eat spaghetti, barely touched her plate.
I want to mention that it took us forever to be seated. There was one open table, and we were the only ones waiting to be seated. Several of the staff acknowledged our presence, but failed to seat us in a timely fashion. Once seated, our server, Lindsey, was very good. She is a very nice young lady.
Not certain that I will give my money to Caprese’s again.

AWFUL service! Stay away. Had a salad that was soaked in dressing. Told the waitress it wasn’t not the best (was polite about it) and received and ugly attitude/​response in return. Will never go back!!!

Service (owner or manager) was rushed and rude. Wouldn’t even let us sit at a booth when there were two open and available.
But the gluten free pizza was top notch.

I went with a friend yesterday and I have to say the food was great, yum. The three cheese ravioli was amazing!

Let’s just be clear — if the bottom of a pizza is soggy out of the oven, then you know something is wrong. Caprese has failed massively in its attempt to create a New York pizza. They do not pay attention to the thickness of the crust and its relationship to the amount of toppings. Not to mention the low-​quality cheese which has that sandy aftertaste when improperly cooked in the oven.
The lunch pizza buffet sounds like a nice deal, but if you can spring an extra dollar or two, I’d go elsewhere.

They still have the best pizza in the area and their buffet is cheap and delicious.
The wait staff can be a bit slow but, not so overly bad that it affects my view on the food. Also, their calamari is very, very good.

It had a very nice feel and atmosphere. Waiters and hostess were extremely nice and helpful.
Onto the food. My girlfriend and brother both got two different types of spaghetti which they loved. I on the other hand tried the seafood stuffing and was disgusted. I cut it open to find seafood from a can and tiny shrimp rarely found in any of the rolls. I was led by the menu to assume it was fresh. Thankfully the waitress took it off the bill when I sent it back. Not trying it again. Period.
They get 3 stars from me due to my girlfriend and brothers experiences and plates. Just don’t try the seafood.

Years ago, this was one of my favorite Italian restaurants. But then it seemed like they changed over night. The food was not as tasty and the staff was not as efficient.
Seemed like the food went from tasting fresh to tasting microwaved.
I have been in there a handful of times over the past year hoping that it would be better. But it’s not. The wait staff is generally two people and they are very very slow, with everything. There are other people standing around but they do not help.
This is not a very big restaurant and the service should not be that slow even with two people. I think I’ll give it another year or so and try it again

The Scene:
I was way overdue for an oil change and didn’t want to sit around reading old magazines while I waited at a nearby service station. So I decided to walk over to Home Depot for a little window shopping when a nice smell caught my nose. I didn’t realize I was hungry until I smelled the gorgeous fragrance coming from inside.
Date & Time: Tuesday June 5^th, 2012 @ 1:35pm
Dining Companions: solo
What to expect: intimate little dining room in a strip mall between Home Depot and Kohl’s
Music: mix of soft rock, italian, instrumental
Conversation: Easy to hear
Décor: Average italian theme
Service: Slow
Liquid: water
Ordered: Lunch Buffet ($ 7.95)
Dislikes: Tables were not immediately serviced once customers were gone
Total: $ 8.43
The Verdict:
I was really interested in the calamari, since I’ve been having mad cravings. .but the $ 7.95 lunch buffet just made more sense. It’s by no means a wide variety. The buffet area is about as big as a hot dog stand. But the items I sampled were tasty. Pizza had surprisingly good flavor, but was very greasy across the top. Sausage marinated in tomato sauce with green peppers and onions was excellent. Mushroom Alfredo with ham shavings was good and the veggie mix was decent. The spaghetti was thin and chewy, maybe from sitting below the heat lamps and the meatballs were huge, but only average in flavor. Included with the buffet is a salad, which made this an outstanding value to me. My only complaint today would be one or two questionable pieces of lettuce that I picked off.
My server was an older salt and pepper headed Italian women and her accent is absolutely adorable!!! There were several kitchen staff employees and the owner was here also, but there was only one server. No one lifted a finger to help her. Every table (no exaggeration) with the exception of two had dishes remaining from the lunch crowd earlier. I was slightly annoyed at first, but soon felt sorry for her as she struggled to keep me and the two other tables still dinning here happy. It made it easier to remain patient as it took her a while to notice I was finished with my meal and needed my final bill. Overall, very solid lunch for the money and beats most other ‘same-​old-​same-​old’ options in the area.

As a regular I find the location good and the pizza also.
A previous poster stated the owner was gone? Was there today and Cookie is alive and well at his restaurant.
Had my usual, the personal veggie deluxe and as usual brought halfvof it home.
My wife had the «Caprese sandwich «this is a request item that is not on the menu.
There are times that the wait staff is overwhelmed with large families and children, for the most part we never have an issue. Then again, I am not a high maintenance person. Just sit me down, take my order, drop off the food and provide two drinks. When my wife and I dine out it is «us» time and I don’t need wait staff at my table every minute.
In closing, good place. Another good meal today.
