Capri's Cucina Italiana in Manchester

Perfect experience and amazing food. Highly recommend.

I popped in with my husband while running some errands recently and we enjoyed some really delicious, super authentic food. We decided we'd much rather support an independent than a chain like the neighbouring San Carlo and I'm so glad we did! I opted for the lunch special - the meatballs and gnocci; both were absolutely delicious and tasted homemade. The meatballs were soooo soft! Generous portion sizes too - had to take half of it home! My husband had the pizza, which he really rated, he said it had that tasty chargrilled flavour. The staff are very friendly and everyone said goodbye when we left, even the chef. The only one niggle was the cost of a glass of prosecco - £9.50. I didn't check the drinks menu beforehand so that was a bit of a shock but probably on a par with other city centre restaurants - we just never dine out in the city usually. I would definitely recommend Capri's - please support your local independents, it makes such a difference to them!

Very good food, exquisite treatment and very friendly service. The fantastic Giovanni a piece of Napoli in the UK

Excellent food and service, the owner is very friendly and pleasant. I recommend it

Top restaurant! Friendly and attentive service, special requests were addressed without any problems. The food was fresh, well seasoned and really tasty – everything from the starter to the dessert was great. Nice atmosphere, fair price, we'll definitely be back!

Exceptional food and service ! A must try for anyone in Manchester we will definitely be back 👏👏👏

Highly recommended, very authentic Italian pasta, with super attentive service👍🏻😘

Perfect pizza, perfect pasta, good beer

Best pizza you can eat in Manchester

Cozy restaurant with excellent Italian cuisine, very kind people, it is located in the center of Manchester and it is very easy to get there. I recommend it

Absolutely bombastic. We got the pasta frutti di mare (seafood) because of the review picture and omlll. We also got the burata pizza and I felt like I was in Italy. I know they have an Italian chef and it shows. Worth the penny. And such a wonderful waiter

Everything is perfect. Would definitely recommend

The food was great and the staff were friendly. Were given some complimentary homemade cakes afterwards which were delicious

the atmosphere and staff and service was really nice, the food was good too but the portions felt really small for the price you pay. paid £18 for 1 meal (pesto linguine) and left hungry. the pizzas looked a really good size though for decent price, so i would recommend those over the pasta dishes.

What a meal! The insalata caprese and risotto were superb. Then when I lamented that I couldn’t eat any of the desserts because I’m gluten free, they offered me an off-menu gluten free chocolate cake! That cake elevated the meal to a whole new level. 10/10–can’t recommend highly enough!

It was Chinese New Year, so we were very lucky to drop in this great little gem in the heart of the city centre. Clean and tidy with swift and keen professional service, the Capri's has a buzzy city centre atmosphere. In & out for a quick tasty lunch or sit back and take your time, soak up that buzzy atmosphere. In terms of the menu, you simply have to try the signature sharing dish, served on a frame, Tagliere Capri's, absolutely beautiful. Its actually listed as 'for one' - it fed four of us. Mixed mains, chicken, steak and carbonara - all well cooked quality food dishes. We rounded off with cheesecake to die for and more leisurely coffee, we continued as we started, soaking up the buzz at our own pace, all for which we were welcomed warmly.

Best Italian cuisine in Manchester with such an amazing host, Yovanny and his staff. Belíssimo grazie..

Food is really good. But it is too little. Those Who think that the gourmet restaurants must have tiny portions areoyt of space. !! What is the problem to offer a decent portion of pasta or rice???? It is so cheap after all!!!

Fantastic service, exceptional and delicious food, couldn’t ask for more, highly recommend

Not over dine out since we moved to this city. Time to try a local Italian restaurant for the 8th Anniversary. The owner / manager is friendly as soon as we walked in and he already knew about our reservation. The staff looking after our table is super sweet and polite, always with smile. We enjoy the food as much as their service. Large Napoletana pizza simply amazing with rich aroma from anchovies. Pasta al di frutti di mare is another surprise too. How could they make this high level of taste. Recommended! Italian rice ball is interesting, crispy outside and soft inside, perfect with mayo.👍

The true italian pizza in Manchester

Nice and cozy atmosphere, like small family restaurant. Nice and friendly service and delicious main course!

I recently went to the *Capris Cucina Italiana* restaurant in Manchester and I can say without a doubt that it was an amazing experience. The welcoming and refined atmosphere made me immediately feel at home. A huge compliment goes to the waitresses, who with kindness and professionalism made our meal even more pleasant, responding with a smile to every request and paying attention to detail. The chef has prepared dishes that are a true delight for the palate: fresh ingredients, perfect combinations and authentic cuisine that expresses all the passion of Italian tradition. The flavor of the dishes really impressed me, from the homemade pasta to the main courses, all cooked to perfection. A round of applause also to the owner Giovanni, who welcomed us with a truly special warmth and made us feel at home. His attention to customers and love for Italian cuisine are reflected in every corner of the restaurant. An experience that is truly worth living!

Went as a group. Service was really good and nice atmosphere. I can't recommend the following: carbonara was way too cheese flavoured, fried calamari were like rubber bands, fried veg were too greasy. The other starter and main dishes however were excellent as reported by colleagues: mussels, steak, pasta, seafood.

Very nice food staff very attentive weather outside was cold and very very unusual it was raining in Manchester.

Hands down the best Italian in town and possibly UK. I have been here for a family gathering and the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable with that warm family feeling. The seafood linguine were the winner but everything was tasty and fresh, the tomatoes are delicious, coming from someone whose don't like tomatoes usually. The board with prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, olives and more is a must go.

A brilliant authentic Italian restaurant right in the heart of Manchester. Family owned and run. We had a great evening

This place has some magic. Father and daughter running the place, incredible food, high quality italian ingredients and good prices. These people put their heart and soul in what they do and what they serve and this is truly reflected in their dishes🥰

Can’t recommend this place enough!! Food is absolutely delicious, just the traditional Italian way. Service was really smooth and lovely too!

This is a WOW to the place. I ordered a diner menu, and it is way beyond my expectation. For the price you pay (£25 for 3 courses; could also be £22 for 2 courses), you get authentic southern Italian food with flavorful taste! Other places can easily charge £30 for this. Service is friendly and helpful, atmosphere is clam and welcoming; don't even mention that it is located at the central shopping area. Can only recommend.

It was OK inside but the food was great 👍 👌

Had a lovely lunch here with my daughter she said her pizza was belissimo, my seafood linguine deliziosa, staff were amichevole.

The menu was enticing, the food was flavourful and delicious, portions perfect, the atmosphere was great. We would definitely visit again.

Food was excellent, service was very friendly, but a bit slow coming out of the kitchen, had to ask twice for my dessert and twice for the bill. But the two waitresses were very friendly.

The food at this restaurant is high quality. I had the pasta Arrabbiata and the Focaccia all'Aglio (half cheese, half tomato sauce) The Focaccia all'Aglio tasted incredible and was the highlight of the meal. It was fresh, the tomato sauce was incredible and flavourful! We shared this easily between 3 people, so was a good portion size for a starter. The Arrabbiata was also delicious, fresh pasta and tasteful. I would say the portion size was on the smaller size for the pasta. The staff were attentive, friendly, helpful and made you feel welcomed. The service of the food was quite quick which is a bonus! Would definitely visit again!

Found this gem of a place by chance. Waitress was more than happy to move some tables to fit 6 of us in. Pizzas were delicious and the special seafood pasta dish with mussels was superb! Will definitely visit again.

Extremely rowdy, noisy atmosphere completely spoiled the dining experience. ☹️ My dinner was nice, but partner's portion was tiny - about half the size of mine, and we both ordered pasta dishes - he was still very hungry. A bit disappointing - wouldn't recommend.

Excellent cuisine. Unique pizza, true Italian flavours. Impeccable service ready to satisfy every need. Giovanni is professional and really nice. REAL ITALIAN CUISINE!

Service okay, food very fast, quality average. Handmade tagliatelle looks and tastes store-bought. Prices are rather expensive...

I have to say this, that the food I had here was probably the best Italian food I’ve ever had, even more than the food I had in Italy. And the servers were amazing.

Diner here last night what an amazing place starting with the brilliant service kind nature and authentic feel, family run giving it a more personal touch and the food I have too say is the best I've ever tasted everything was so fresh can tell they only use the best ingredients, I can't wait too go back again, sea bass was beautiful and calamari and the mussels wow and the termissu was exceptional honesty I can't rate this place enough, thank you for the great service and hospitality and see you again soon

Just like or even better than in italy. Amazing quality of the food and wine.

Finally a delicious, authentic Italian restaurant in Manchester! Food is delicious- pizzas nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Great limoncello spritz, too, which are usually difficult to find. Will be returning!

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten in abroad! I ate Sorrento style gnocchi, a generous sauce and first choice products. Same for the pizzas too Highly recommended

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.

Excellent food Good product and friendly staff. Very italian napoli cuisine.

When a restaurant makes you feel like you’re dining in Italy, it’s a sign that they’ve succeeded in creating an authentic, immersive experience. Well done Capri’s. See you soon

Very nice place, the fastest service we've ever had - however was quite quiet, nice music and atmosphere and lighting. The garlic mushrooms side was just garlic and mushrooms which let me down, however the delicious Calabrese pizza more than made up for it.

Such an amazing experience! I couldn’t be happier. polpette, parmigiana di melanzane, tagliere misto and lovely orecchiette. Thanks to the staff for this 5 star experience I’ll definitely be back very soon

Old Italian staff from well known places, food is superb. One of the best places 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.

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

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!❤️

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

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!
