Capri Sogno

Pros: Décor
Cons: Pricey, mediocre food
I’ve been here twice. Once about a year ago and it was decent and again at the end of January 2016 and it was not.
Stuffed mushroom appetizer was okay, but for $ 15.95 I expected a great deal more in both taste and quantity.
Pollo Limone had a great sauce, but it was a single small butterflied chicken breast. For the price, I would expect two chicken breasts. The pasta came on the side with only a drizzle of a flavorless marinara sauce. Not a very good presentation.
Pasta alla Mamma was okay. Unfortunately, this was something that most people can make successfully at home. When I go out to eat at a nicer restaurant I expect a dish above and beyond my basic culinary skills.
Wine pours are measured out in little carafe glasses and poured in front of you… a little tacky and somewhat of a mechanical feel to it.
For a dinner with two glasses of wine that was well over $ 70 (tip not included), I did not feel it was a good value nor did we leave the place feeling like we had just enjoyed some satisfying culinary creations.

Been here a few times, this time around I was very disappointed! First of all I sat at the bar, orders a Campari! Half a glass of Campari with no more than a half a shot a Campari and mostly ice! Literally two sips! $ 13.00. Are you freaking kidding me? Who do these people think they are? That’s just plain robbery. The food was marginal I ridere Eggplant parmigiana, they make the usual Americanized version, which looks more like Eggplant lasagna! It’s typical old world Italian restaurant that have no clue! And try to please the American palate, with the big layers a bunch of melted cheese and some pasta! The cannoli were pretty good. Dario, i appreciate your reply. I know I was harsh I. My review. And I apologize for that I guess the Campari really pissed me off! I have to your restaurant and I have always been very pleased! Sorry did not like the eggplant parmigiana not my style! I prefer a much simpler version! Anyhow, I will be back! As I said at the beginning, it was just this once!

Great atmosphere, beautiful décor and impeccable service. Mike was our waiter and very personable and knowledgable. Classic dirty martini was perfect. I had the linguini with shrimp and broccoli in a garlic and oil sauce that was fantastic. My boyfriend got the lasagna and it was just ok. Will definitely go back!

Man this place is just not what it seems! First off the bartender did not seem to know much of anything and maybe doing hair is a better option than being a bartender! The menu is a Gosh darn mess like any other Italian joint! Less is more people! On top of that two drinks cost over $ 30 WTF! We had just been at hopscotch and had Mussels and shrimp cocktail and two adult beverages that added up to $ 37 and it was great! The icing on the cake would be this bartender having the audacity to shhhhhhh my friend and I for being excited and laughing, there was only 2 older guys in this place! Honestly I do not ever do this but his place is not worth your time and if ur a foody or cocktail enthusiast stay away!!!
Sorry Capri but y’all should really rethink who you want to be!

Great people food is wonderful. Love the marinara and drinks are yummy! Atmosphere is very nice too! See Michael & call him mike! Management is on fleek! Oh @ love the rose napkins, nice touch!

The food is great but the service sucks! The waiter spilled water all over the half of the table and the waiter also spilled the sauce all over my new phone and I wasn’t that happy about it and the waiter didn’t say anything about it.

Have eaten there twice now — once outside for lunch and once very recently for Sunday dinner. The food is just excellent, the ambiance very cozy and rustic, reminding me of «The Godfather» and I mean that in a very good way since that is my most favorite movie ever! The wait staff super friendly and efficient. And all the dishes are rather reasonably priced; especially for lunch.
What’s there not to love!

My husband and I love Capri and have such a great time each time we go! Whether it is for dinner, drinks and dessert or just dessert and coffee, we always sit and the bar and have the best time. Rachel is our absolute favorite… she’s the best! And of course our new friends and favorites, Cindy and Franco too :)
The food is always excellent as is the wine. It is so nice to finally have a restaurant that is close and foodie worthy! Keep doing what you’re doing, Capri, and you will hold a special place in downtown Plainfield for years to come!

So we went here for my wifes birthday and based on all of the good reviews we were pretty excited. The restaurant is very nice but LOUD!!! I mean shouting across the table loud when they are busy. The service was slow, very slow. I think they either screwed up our order and didnt say anything or completely forgot about us becasue it took 45 minutes to get our food which in my opion is long for pasta.
When we sat down the waitress told me about their specials and mentioned that they had a stuffed mushroom apetizer. I love stuffed Mushrroms so of course i ordered them. 3 decent size stuffed mushrroms, pretty tasty although kind of luke warm. When the bill came $ 16.95! almost 17 bucks for mushrooms… ridiculous.
I’ve seen some people mention how nice the owner is… Not on my visit. He spent the entire time i was there talking with the 2 tables next to ours and never once came over to ask how our food was as a matter of fact one of the few time our waitress actually came to the table she was interupted by the owner to come over to a different table.
The food was decent but not for the money and the rest of the experience was horrible!
Bad Service
Bad Prices
Bad Atmosphere
SO so food
Dont waste your time with this place!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed dining here with my family. Everything about this restaurant is on point. The décor, the great service and the delicious Italian food. I will eat here every time I visit Plainfield. I can’t wait to be back next year.

Went to dinner Saturday night. Got a nice table. Wife ordered chic parm which was good. I had the via Mia. Good.
Best part frank the owner/​mgr sat with my group and talked and joked around. Very nice man and truly made us feel welcomed.
Will go back

Hit or miss with the food. I ordered the calamari and pasta and the sauce wasn’t really there at all. I ate a small portion and asked for it to be wrapped up to go. Went home and added more homemade tomato sauce, not bad.
We also ordered the standard spaghetti and meatballs and it was excellent. Sauce was spot on and meat balls were as Italian as Mom’s homemade ones.
I’ll be back again but will avoid anything seafood. Beer selection had some Italian brews and the rest was domestics.
Pricey ($ 50) for two with a drink but that was fine for a white tablecloth environment.

Needed a place to go for my wife’s birthday dinner. Did a quick search and find this wonderful little gem and so glad we chose this restaurant.
From the moment we stepped in we felt comfortable and right at home.
Marsha our waitress was awesome and very helpful explaining the menu.
Everything from the appetizers to the soup & salads to the entrees and the grand finale of the Italian Ice for dessert was truly amazing !
Thank you for making my wife’s day special !
We will be back again and again !!!

Great location and nice people. Small place, I think only 8 or 9 tables plus the bar and the patio, maybe there is an upstairs?. good service but food was really only ok. My spicy rigatoni was very good, but daughters Alfredo was thick and dry, more like a paste than a sauce. Wife was not a huge fan of her pasta either, some dish with peas, prosciutto and pasta. Side salad was pretty boring but not awful. Pasta soup was ok. Bread was warm but overcooked and tough (maybe microwaved to warm it up? — that results in tough dense bread).
All in all not terrible and a great spot in downtown Plainfield however it wasn’t cheap and not real memorable.

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and were seated by the window. Score! We started with a bottle of wine. No apps as we already had some wine and cheese at the house. I ordered the homemade rigatoni in a vodka sauce. The lady at the table had the linguini vongole. Both were outstanding. But my friend got the veal and eggplant. Really. I am moving in after trying this. I have to come back to taste everything on the menu. The last time I had Italian food this good was in a burrow of NY. Or at my mothers house from age 1 to 39. Four people and two bottles of vino came to a buck forty. Seriously? I told the waitress that we had a birthday at the table and the old Italian guy came and sang Happy Bird day with a lit cannoli. How awesome is that! What a wonderful and memorable evening. I will be back!

Well I haven’t had to leave a bad review in quite some time, but let me see if I remember how to do it…
Let me set the stage; Saturday 6:30 PM, sit outside with our best friends for a nice meal. We order some sangria, a bottle of wine and some apps. Apps were good. Waitress explains the specials and does a hell of a job up selling the Dad’s day Steak. My friend and I order the steak, him medium and mine mid-​rare (of course). Mouth begins to water…,
Soup comes… Tasty. Steaks arrive and I immediately cut mine in ½ to stop the cooking process. Dammit… well done. Now, if I was sitting in Chili’s and I was dumb enuf to order a 16 oz ribeye I would expect to get a ruined steak. But Capri is billed as a top notch eatery, and that comes with a responsibility. Charge $ 45 for a steak, don’t turn it into a hockey puck.
Sooooooo, that was a mistake, and having served in «fine» restaurants for 12 yrs it still wouldn’t pull a 1 star from me, cuz shit happens. But Capri then proceeded to break the cardinal rule of the service industry.
I informed my waitress of the ruined meal, and she apologized profusely. She offered to replace it… But with 3 toddlers, I told her that wasn’t possible. I told her I would eat it but she should inform the cooks so no other patron’s meal was ruined.
We finished our meal and asked for the check because it looked like rain was coming. FULL PRICE FOR BOTH STEAKS!!!
No apology from a manager… And not a cent of discount. It is sooo easy to fix a kitchen fuck up… Give shit AWAY!!! Bad food, bad management. In-​excusable!
Will not be back…
Do yourself a favor and eat at Borolos in Joliet or any Francesca’s is you want legit Italian. You’ll thank me .
Oh and the wine list sucks.

Got the filet special which was delicious and it came with garlic mashed potatoes. Also comes with a side salad which is great.
All of the homemade sauces are great and my favorite isthe vodka sauce. The prices are rather steep though; it would be better if it was slightly cheaper (but what wouldn’t?), especially given the ridiculously prices adult beverages.
I’m not taking this into consideration for the review, but a bottle of Stella was $ 10. It’s my fault for not asking the price, but $ 10 is very very steep. A 12 pack is just a few dollars more, so $ 10 for one bottle?! Now I know better. Don’t get beer here. Nothing on draft either.

I wish I could love this place. I find the food bland, the service uneven and the prices too high considering what you get.
I’ve been here many times ordering fish, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, risotto, gnocchi, pasta with broccoli and oil and Mostaccioli.
The mostaccioli is amazing. It’s supposed to be home made pasta and it has an amazing texture and served with a tomato cream sauce. Everything else has been so, so.
We come here quite often despite my dislike for the place. It could be me, other people love it here.

I was REALLY struggling between choosing to rate this 3 or 4 stars…
For starters, the hostess was not good. We had a reservation and when we try to check in she walks away and comes back and says «yeah it’s gunna be a while.» Pretty shortly. Uhm what?
We stood at the bar while waiting to be seated and the woman working as bartender that night was great. She was very friendly and knowledgable and made sure we were happy with our drinks.
Another problem with the restaurant was that it was REALLY LOUD. I mean REALLY loud. And there isn’t much space in the restaurant so we kept being bumped into by everyone. It was like watching a traffic jam.
When we were seated the servers were very friendly and knowledgable as well. They always made sure to «tend» (idk what word to use) to us quickly.
What I didnt like was that the water that came with the tasted like crappy cheap tap water. I mean I guess what’s what you get with free stuff eh?
I got the non-​alcoholic drink known as the «Easy Living» which was a combination of pineapple juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice. It was freaking amazing! I also got the Eggplant Parmesan for dinner and it came a side of the BEST tomato florentine soup ever! The bread was quite good and it was warm but not the MOST amazing bread I ever had at an Italian restaurant. The love oil that came on the side was really good and the table had a jar of Parmesan too.
Overall the servers are what made this was a 4 star review instead of a 3 star review.

Our party of 7 — which included 3 kids under 5 — visited Capri Sogno on a Friday night recently and were very happy with our experience. We are frequent diners at Capri in other locations but decided to try this adorable spot in downtown Plainfield.
I was a bit surprised that ½ the dining space is upstairs (a very long, steep set of stairs) and I’m not sure if they have an elevator so if you plan to come here with anyone who has mobility issues — request a table on the main floor.
The service was amazing — our server (I can’t recall her name) was so pleasant and attentive and believe me, our table was demanding! She and the buss staff were well coordinated and so helpful throughout the meal.
The food was very good from the appetizers to the dessert — the portions were large so expect to have leftovers unless you share dinners. I would say the Plainfield Capri is in the top two of the Capri restaurant family — we will be back!
