Ciao Capri

"Ciao Capri is the best authentic Italian food in RVA This is a small, family owned restaurant so be sure to call for reservations. The food is delicious, the service impeccable. If you are on their email list, you will be notified when they are serving fresh halibut. The specials are always fabulous."

"Do yourself a favor and go try this place. I read the reviews and we decided to try it for date night. This little place has the most amazing food with great service. The owners and staff make you feel like family! They walk around and speak to everyone. I love this place. Kitchen closes at 8 so get there early!"

"First time here. The place is clean, nice and welcoming. The staff was so welcoming and explained the menu and specials. I ordered a mocktail and that’s the star. Can not believe it was a non-alcohol drink when you look at it. Ravioli was flavorful, tomato base goes well with it. Loved it too. Regular customers will talk with you and it’s nice to talk with them. Unique experience. Reserve ahead. Don’t forgot to check the specials menu .."

"My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food, however, did not meet our expectations. We were very much looking forward to our evening, particularly due to the glowing reviews. I've never had authentic Italian food, so I cannot speak to how closely this measures up. I can say that what we had was very bland. The bread was bland and came with an olive oil and parsley dip, no seasoning. The calamari was cooked perfectly, but had no flavor. The tomato dipping sauce that came with them was watery. For my main, I had the taglioline nerano, a popular dish recommended by our waitress. It pretty much just tasted like noodles in butter. The shrimp themselves really had no flavor. My wife had the scallops, which were cooked perfectly, but came with an overabundance of risotto, which she said tasted like it had no salt at all. I've been to Ireland and had authentic Irish food and a lot of it was bland, so I know some other countries don't season their food as much as we Americans do. But as much as I appreciate authenticity, I also want food that tastes good. The service and the surroundings were great, but I think I'll stick with Olive Garden."

"Ciao Capri is a beautifully authentic Italian restaurant tucked away in henrico. We were seated by the window, table beautifully set for 5. The owner was so friendly and welcoming to us. We enjoyed a complimentary bottle if wine (moscato) that was very nice. The appetizers were Caprese salad, very fresh and nice tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, and Calamari. Our entrees were, Risotto ai Frutti di Mare, Ravioli Quattro Formagg,and Taglioline Nerano (shrimp,pasta in a prolova cheese sauce) everything was very good. I recommend trying this place for a romantic dinner for two."
