Capri's Cucina Italiana in Manchester

Lovely authentic food and friendly atmosphere

Amazing food there. Will definitely come back

Amazing food. The best Ravioli I have ever tasted and the pizza was fantastic! Massive portion but easily devoured and still felt great afterwards.

We decided to book in here for an evening meal during the week after viewing previous reviews on google. The business is set out a bit weirdly for people who aren’t familiar with the entrance being used for Bem Brasil and then being directed through another door to enter the restaurant. The staff were helpful, attentive and friendly, despite it being much busier than expected for a Monday evening. The meal was beautiful! We ordered the gnocchi and tagliatelle bolognese. Both were really nice and they offered parmesan on top with a generous serving. I would definitely recommend dining here to anyone thinking about it.

Amazing staff and lovely food! Will 100% return

Amazing experience! Giovanni and Anna incredible ❤️ The chef Vincenzo cooking with passion so I felt on my start ( I took montanarine) as well with my main ( I took orecchiette salsiccia and nduja). I will back definitely! Everything was perfect, finally I found a Italian corner in great Manchester! Try it you will have nothing to regret🤩

If you come to Manchester and are looking for good food you can't miss coming to Capri's! After 3 days of unlikely dishes we came here and were delighted. Seafood linguine with fresh fish, very tasty and perfectly al dente. Orecchiette with sausage sauce and extra tasty 'induja. Grandma's meatballs are a delight and finally a fabulous baba'. If you add to this an attentive and friendly service then the picture is complete. Well done!!!

I have never had a better experience, the best evening of my life. Incredible food, wonderful staff and a top-notch environment. Thanks for the emotions.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Great service. Would definitely go back

Wonderful experience starting from Giovanni's very warm and familiar welcome, accompanied by the service of Annamaria, a very sweet and refined girl who pampered and served us during the evening. In the kitchen Vincenzo and Said, the explosion of flavors and the desire to continue tasting are indescribable. Beautiful evening, highly recommended and we will be back soon ☺️

The food was delicious, I ordered chicken fillet and steak with mushrooms sauce. I recommend everyone to try it ,served with smiley lady Melody

Great food and service. I will be back and would definitely recommend.

Amazing restaurant, loved the food and the experience. Came here with my partner for her 30th.

My fiancé and I were there to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The flavors and taste of the food were simply outstanding. The restaurant surprised me with a cheesecake and a candle, which made the moment even more special. I ordered the chicken fillet, which was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. My fiancé had the special pizza, which was loaded with fresh ingredients and had a deliciously crispy crust. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was exceptional. It was truly a memorable evening that we both enjoyed.

In the last few days spent in Manchester, the real gem was finding this restaurant where we had a wonderful meal. Friendly and kind staff, I can't wait to return. Compliments. The TOP waitress!❤️

I had dinner at this place the staff was fantastic.! The food was delicious. Everything as if you were in Italy. What can I say, I recommend it to everyone

For a moment I felt like I was in Naples, the taste and scent of the sea of ​​the tasty "linguine allo scoglio" which I recommend. Everything very fresh and generous portions Thanks Giovanni but above all a well-deserved praise to chef Vincenzo Thanks guys

Italian tourist in U.K. this is the best italian restaurant in Manchester

Amazing restaurant Jessica (the waiter) she's the best waiter I've ever encountered. Lovely, patient and respectful. Likewise the owner, Giovanni. Friendly, kind and nice atmosphere. Authentic Italian food.

Really enjoyed our meal here. I had the Calzone and my better half had the Siciliana. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty. Decent prices. Great food. Recommended.

Such good pizza!!! Friendly service. And it is good to support a family business like this. Bravo, Giovanni !

A fantastic Italian restaurant in the heart of Manchester City Centre. I came here with 20 guests this weekend and Giovanni (the owner) served us their set set menu platters - this includes fresh cheeses, cold meats, fried starters, pizza and pasta (and plenty of it!). We are a group of Italians and we really felt like we were eating in our native home. Their hospitality was impeccable and welcoming. I have no doubt that this has got to be one of the best independent Italian restaurants in the city. A big shoutout to the chef and also Jessica who served us. We’ll hopefully be back soon.

I celebrated my birthday at the wonderful Capris, Manchester. Giovanni, Anna-Maria, Jessica and his excellent team helped to make it a night to remember. Our guests enjoyed a vast array of delicious, authentic Italian antipasti followed by outstanding pasta dishes with only the finest ingredients used. We loved them all: carbonara (our favourite carbonara from anywhere!), mushroom risotto and seafood pasta. Everytime we visit we experience genuine, friendly, welcoming service and this special occasion was no different. The team at Capris make you feel as though nothing is ever too much trouble. A visit to Capris is a must if you’re looking for genuine, authentic Italian food and outstanding service.

A lovely restaurant with great food and attentive staff.

We found this lovely Italian wandering around on a Saturday evening looking for somewhere to eat. We ordered the mixed sharing platter to start which was fantastic. Much more than what was expected. We also had a mushroom tagliatelle, Fillet steak and a pizza. Everything was super fresh and cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend the food here and the staff and service was also excellent.

We came to Capri's for an evening meal before seeing a show at the AO Arena. The service was great and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend!

Great food and great service. Very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended.

The real deal. Manchester is lucky to have Capri’s - perfect Italian food.

Very nice place and tasty authentic Italian cuisine

Just had a very delicious and authentic Italian dinner! Grazie mille Giovanni & Team ;)

Excellent Italian pizzeria, excellent ingredients, delicious desserts. Very friendly owners, efficient service

We went to Capri's for an evening meal. Giovanni the owner, and his daughter were lovely, and went out of their way to provide an amzing experience for us. The service was impeccable, and the food was real traditional italian food, my favourite was the starter we had from Naples at the beginning of the meal. We enjoyed the sautè di cozze, and casarecce gamberi e pistacchio, seafood dishes and the vegetable based ones. Looking forward to going again. Thankyou!!!

Nice food, excellent service. The best Italian food in Manchester. I would recommend this restaurant.

We visited the restaurant during our visit to Manchester over the April bank holiday. As Italians we can say that every dish reflects traditional Italian cuisine, everything is delicious, exceptional dishes, equally personal. The first courses were with very fresh fish, the frying was the same. For all the Italian people who live in Manchester it is certainly a point of reference because it is possible to really feel the Italian atmosphere, especially southern Italy. We will definitely be back!

Booked my daughter and her four friends in here for 16th birthday celebrations. They all had a lovely time stating the food was absolutely delicious, various pasta dishes including Carbonara, Arrabbiata and pizza were ordered. They finished with Tiramisu which was also delicious. Top marks to the very tentative staff. A credit to the restaurant industry.

Food was nice and staff very nice too

The man & lady working here were lovely, the atmosphere was great with a cute rose on the table, and the food made me feel like I was in Italy. The Italian couple near us sealed the deal - if Italians come here it must be authentic 😂

So I came here today, because of the great reviews, and I wasnt wrong. I mean, when I opened the door and came in, this girl looked at me like "who the hell are you", obviously because I looked terrible, had lots of luggage, wet hair and muddy boots, so I can actually understand 😂 After that she was very nice and attentive though. Guys, food is great, and they play awesome Italian music, and by awesome I mean Mahmood and Tiziano Ferro ❤

Such a lovely restaurant run by an Italian family. The food was lovely and they were very welcoming with the chef even coming to talk to us. We had a mix of dishes which were all delicious (a particular highlight was the seafood linguine and the carbonara ) would highly recommend

Place with a very central location, welcoming and familiar atmosphere. We stayed in Manchester for a weekend and it was the only place where we ate really well. Congratulations to Giovanni and his staff

really excellent choice to celebrate my birthday at your restaurant, my guests and I had a really good time, you made us feel at home, fresh and quality fish, excellent service. you are nice people, thank you for how you treated us, I recommend everyone to try your cuisine. thank you thank you.

A little corner of Italy in the heart of Manchester! Delicious and quality food, I have been here several times and I have been able to taste many dishes on the menu, what can I say, all delicious and empty plates. Impeccable service with great care for customers. Warm environment, you can breathe the air of Italy. I will definitely recommend it...

Booked here after my original choice was fully booked. Capri’s will be my preferred choice from now on. Authentic Italian food. Loved my time here.

Delicious! Staff was so nice. Thank you for great experience ❤️ pasta Carbonara , pizza bocaiola and teo beers cost 37£.

Very good proper Italian restaurant with really fresh food and good services. Went there on Valentine's also love the ambience there.

As an Italian customer, I decided to try this restaurant for the first time on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend, after having received several recommendations from different friends. The experience was unique. The staff was very kind and experienced, especially the owner Giovanni and the head chef Frida were really welcoming people, careful on every detail on the dishes and with all the customers. About food, this is the best Italian cuisine in Manchester with no doubts. We ordered two pasta (orecchiette with ragù sauce and nduja, gnocchi with blue cheese and walnuts). Both were extremely delicious with generous portions. As dessert we chose Tiramisù and Rhum Babà. The best we have ever eaten in The Uk. I personally wish all the best to Capris, I will also definetely go back to taste fresh fish and pizza. Highly recommended place for whoever wants to taste the real Italian cuisine.

The food was excellent. Lots of choice. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Lovely Italian meal, exactly what we needed when looking for a hearty meal mid-week. Nothing mind blowing, but will satisfy your cravings if you’re looking for a good Italian. It was quiet when we visited which made it relaxing. Service good, food tasty, drinks great. Not sure I’d go into the city centre specifically to visit, but if I was around the area I’d pop back.

Great food. I definitely recommend.

We celebrated New Year's Eve here at Capris for the second year in a row, great service excellent food, great atmosphere my favourite restaurant in Manchester without a doubt. Keep it up Giovanni🙌

Passionate about the food, the calabrian tomatoes and nduja, and the best limoncello I ever had. Worth re-visiting!

Always great service and great food, one of the best authentic Italian restaurants in town.

We had a lovely Christmas family dinner ! Food was delicious! Amazing staff !

Please don’t miss this absolute gem in Manchester! Eating at Capri’s is the most authentic, delicious Italian experience that you’ll have. The owner and his family run the place, and you can see and feel the love that goes into running this very special place.

I always go there for the authentic Italian food. to try the risotto and pasta with lobster.

Tasty food and great service. Will definitely return.

Very respectful staffs and the food is amazing. Very clean

Very good Italian food. Delicious tuna tartare and lobster pasta.

We had a great meal at this sweet little Italian restaurant. You can tell it is family run by the kind staff and how accommodating they are. We came by on a Saturday night and it was packed. We tried again on Sunday and it was easier to find a table. The inside of the restaurant is decorated like you are in Capri (hence the name). This fish is extremely fresh too. We had the prawn and calamari appetizer—the owner declared it the freshest fish in Manchester and I have to agree. We then shared the Pizza Napoltana and the Pasta Carbonara. Everything was fresh and amazing. We had Lemoncello for dessert.My husband lived it Italy for a few years and we spoke to the owner about that. He was so lovely and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised at the prices too. The quality of food was excellent. If you want a “feel good” place, this is the restaurant for you!

Esperienza terribile. La focaccia all'aglio in realtà non sapeva di aglio. Mio marito ha ordinato le tagliatelle al ragù che non sapevano di niente ed era acquoso, si capiva che era congelato. Io ho ordinato una pizza ed era onestamente niente di speciale e la ricotta era diciamo discutibile, nel complesso il cibo era davvero di bassa qualità. Era l’ultima sera a Manchester e volevamo goderci la serata, invece siamo dovuti tornati all’ hotel con il mal di stomaco. Non consiglio questo ristorante. Il prezzo pagato non ha rispecchiato affatto la qualità. Non sono sicuro di come questo ristorante abbia così tante recensioni positive.

I found my experience of here to be pretty dreadful. The garlic focaccia didn’t actually taste of garlic. The ragù I had was frozen and watery. My wife’s pizza was average and the ricotta was questionable, overall the food was really low quality. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. I was annoyed that this cost £58! I’m not sure how this restaurant has so many good reviews.

What a find, authentic Italian food cooked and served by the family.

Veramente Cucina Italiana ALTA QUALITÀ ... rapporto qualità prezzo non si discute ...ottimo cibo servizio eccellente pronti a soddisfare il palato di tutti ..Giovanni col suo staff sono il TOP Super Consigliatissimo... La vera Cucina italiana a MANCHESTER.....110 & Lode

We really enjoyed this restaurant. Great food, perfect service and relaxed atmosphere.

Amazing authentic Italian food with great service

Fantastic Pizzas and Best Guest Service! Grazie Tanti Ragazzi. 🔱

I booked a table of three for a Friday. We had made a note that it was a birthday celebration on the booking but unfortunately this was forgotten. However, everything else was amazing. The food was very delicious, probably the best Italian food I’ve had in Manchester City centre. The service was friendly and welcoming, which matched the interior and feel of the restaurant. I would highly recommend Capri’s, we will definitely be returning in the future.

It was okay. The place is small. Table for 13 (not us!) Was catered for but very cramped. Food was okay but had better elsewhere. Prices were expected for Manchester City centre, 15% added 'service charge' was not!

Popped in for lunch, the food the service and the atmosphere are all outstanding. Will definitely come again

I think here in Capri’s I had the best burger ever. I came few days after to try something different and I think the 5 stars are totally earned. If you are in Manchester this is a must try!

Food, service & atmosphere was great. My girlfriend recommended this place and said was some of the best Italian in the city. I was not disappointed! Will be coming back for the sharing platter which looked incredible!!

Autentic italian place, fantastic atmosphere and excellent service. We felt very welcome. I went there for lunch with 2 friends and our childrens, they were very welcome with kids too, they help us to find a right meal for all our needs. The food was really amazing, the mushrooms and sausage risotto was very tasty. Highly recommended. The dessert that I wanted wasn't available so they made me a cannolo, it wasn't in the menù, it brought bring me back to my lovely sicily. We'll back for sure. I never been that happy to leave tips. Thank you Capri's restaurant.

I came here few weeks ago as I was told I could have "aperitivo". As you can see in the picture, I can confirm if you are after italian aperitivo, definitely you should come here. The food was so tasty and service was spot on. Thank you

The best Italian restaurant in Manchester City centre.

Très bon restaurant italien ! Je recommande !!!

Place only had a few people in, when we arrived but the menu looked nice. Unfortunately the food didn’t match! Had a garlic bread starter, it was burnt, had way too much cheese on and the occasion clump of garlic hidden in the cheese. The mains took forever to arrive, despite only 2 other tables having customers sat at them. I had the calzone it was cremated & extremely watery. My wife had the mixed seafood spaghetti. It was watery, lacked any sort of taste & the prawn hadn’t been cleaned. The service was poor by a waitress whose English was minimal at best. The only positive was that I wasn’t charged for the calzone (after complaining) £4 for a tiny coke is a bit steep too mind.

Went there for the Italian Sunday roast with friends for a birthday and enjoyed every moment of it . The food was fantastic and the atmosphere remembered the Italian moments especially with the background music

Always excellent! My go to italian restaurant in Manchester!

Absolutely marvel! Felt like back home in Italy … the staff is really friendly and the food is amazing

Went with friends, food was amazing & authentic. Best Italian I've had in Manchester

Everything perfect and proper Italian test food the tomato sauce pasta the pizza-Decent price Definitely recommend this place.

Probably the only true authentic Italian food in Manchester city centre. Really good food.

The people at Capri's are so hospitable, and you can just tell that they absolutely love their jobs and are passionate about what they do; that same passion is reflected through the quality of the food, which is so incredibly fresh and very well homemade. I absolutely loved my meal, best Italian I have ever been to in England AND abroad. My partner also enjoyed his food and especially told me to credit the head chef (who came out to service our table too!).

I have visited "countless" restaurants in Italy and abroad. The quality of the meal that we had at Capri Cucina Italiana was far above many of the 1 & 2 M. star restaurants that I have been to. The friendliness and professional service gave us an evening to be remembered. I can sincerely, highly recommend a visit to Capri Cucina Italiana. The only "negative" point is the size of the shared starter, we had a bad conscience for not being able to finish it! Also - trust their wine recommendations - they know what they are doing.

I never thought I'd have such a perfect dinner in Manchester. The owner and waiters were very welcoming and attentive to the dishes we were interested in, and dining here was as authentic and tasty as the food we enjoyed locally!

The quality, the freshness, the flavour wow!! I never leave reviews but had to this time because I was blown away by every single thing I ate! Today the pistachio pasta and the pistachio tart changed my life! 😍🥰

Delicious food, tasted very fresh and the seasoning added so many layers of flavour. Very nice staff, Jessica and Frida were awesome! 100% recommend

Pizzas buenas a un precio razonable. El tiramisú, buenísimo.

Wonderful authentic Italian food. Made with passion and tastes delicious. Manchester gem.

AMAZING, real italian pizza!!! Better than Rudy’s, Rudy’s is good but the people think that is the best because it is so famous for. Capri’s is amazing, and the service it’s really good!! I LOVE IT

Ristorante straordinario! Durante la mia permanenza a Manchester sono andato più volte a mangiare ed è stata sempre un’esperienza incredibile, cibo ottimo e personale squisito. Uno dei pochi veri ristoranti italiani in città. Consiglio a tutti! Complimenti

Really great food with incredible service.

Ristorante eccellente!!! Lo consiglio a chiunque voglia mangiare ottimo cibo italiano a Manchester! Inoltre, l'accoglienza di Giovanni e del suo team fa sentire a casa! Grazie di vero cuore!

Capri’s is a 5 star plus. The food is amazing and of the very highest quality. Everything we had was on point from the starters to the main course which we shared as we were stuffed. As an Italian your always looking for food that you would eat at home and believe me this is definitely up there. Just looking at the pictures is making me feel hungry again 😜 The Sicilian canolo is exactly as tastey as is should be and made me feel like I was back in Sicily. The baba was also amazing This is definite must try and even though it’s surrounded by other famous Italian restaurants you must go in and try it. 100% will be going back

Lee was so great and attentive George was also fantastic

Food and service excellent. Staff are always friendly when we come here!

The best pasta in Manchester. We had the pistachio soufflé, tagliatelle bolognese and carbonara. Food and service was amazing. You need to come here!!

Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque voglia provare la vera cucina italiana. Cibo e servizio eccellenti +++

Fantastic food and great service. The best tiramisu I've ever tasted.

Definitely the best Italian place in Manchester. Everything is done properly in the authentic Italian way, southern Italian way. The staff is funny, kind and they look like a family driven restaurant, even if they're not. Every dish is done with fresh products but most importantly, Italian products: the tagliere is full of cured meat and cheeses that you can never find in any shop in the city. The pizza dough is astonishingly well prepared and very easy to digest. Parmigiana is a must to try. Super recommended by a southern Italian "good fork"
