The experience here was great as well as the food. I had one slice of the nicolina pizza and a garlic knot. I was greeted by a very friendly and inviting counter girl, Melanie. She did great! I definitely recommend this place for some tasty pizza and a welcoming experience!

We've eaten here several times but our most recent visit was incredible! First of all, we were warmly greeted by Carri, who provided impeccable service throughout our meal (as compared to the server at a previous visit). We started with the Radicchio Pie appetizer which was rich, creamy and delicious. Then, my Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chop in Lemon Butter sauce was one of the best pork chops I've ever tasted. My wife had the Chicken Piccata which was also quite good. We topped this off with the Strawberry Zabiglione, which was over the top delicious! (Both of us are 'foodies' who have dined in great restaurants all over the world). Couple this wonderful food with dining in the outdoor courtyard on a perfect day and it was a truly memorable dining experience!

We booked a party here for 45 people and it was a huge success! Mario, the owner and manager, was extremely gracious. He provided us with a delicious buffet which our guests loved and the service was excellent. We had been here prior to the party and on all occasions, every dish was beautifully prepared. I highly recommend Capisce Trattoria!!

Had a great experience at Capisce Trattoria on Monday evening while looking for places to host an event. When we first entered the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess. Furthermore, the atmosphere was amazing and the premises looked immaculate. The food was outstanding, portions were generous, and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. If I could give Capisce Trattoria more than 5 stars I would. Would defiantly come back without hesitation!!

This place is absolutely phenomenal. The Caesar salad was perfect, the risotto was cooked and seasoned just right, and the crème brûlée hit the spot. They’re great about gluten free options. Highly recommend!

Had my 50th Birthday Dinner here. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent. The staff was so nice and accommodating. We had the private room which made it even more special. Thank you! :o)
