Il Caprese in Weymouth and Portland

Amazing place on the seafront of Weymouth. We have been here twice now, first time was an amazing cooked breakfast and today was the most beautiful cream tea, the scones were warm and melt in your mouth and the jam and cream just topped it off. Mich is a lovely host, happy to take photos for us and very friendly and helpful. Definately a place to visit when in Weymouth whether locals like us or visiting.

Fabulously friendly restaurant. We booked a table for an afternoon tea but ended up ordering the most unbelievably good breakfast. The staff are so lovely, the food is fantastic and the location is great. Well worth a visit

We ate here on the way to an event so only had time for a main course. The seafood tagliatelle was generous and delicious, and the chicken rissotto very tasty. I would highly recommend this place.

Now under new management we decide to go for a pizza evening. The decor is very attractive and we felt very comfortable and cosy. Very gentle enjoyable music playing in the background so you could still have a conversation. Our pizzas were first class, very tasty and plenty of topping. Very friendly staff and will definitely be back.

Called in for quick meal on Sunday night. The restaurant was nearly empty which should have been a clue for what we had to expect. Starters of il tricolore and bruchetta were bland and tasted on very little. Our main courses, spaghetti bolognause and pizza were equally disappointing. Who grates parmesan over the dish before serving? Throughout our meal the owners daughter scootered up and down inside the small restaurant, the door was left open having asked for it be closed due to the wind which made sitting in the window cold. This was the worst meal we have experienced out in a long time and you can do so much better elsewhere.

The pizzas are quite good and the pasta, although are not wow, are quite good and tasty. Maybe a little overpriced. The staff is very friendly and attentive, also the place is good to feel comfortable. They have a fairly varied menu, for all tastes. The location is perfect to be close to the beach.

Right on sea front great food and very good value for money friend staff and dog friendly if sitting outside

Bland food , not bad price but shockingly bad attitude from the Starr serving … this place needs a manager !

Whilst visiting Weymouth for the day on our 5day break in Dorset, my wife and I came across IL Caprese by accident. We wanted an evening meal without the need to pre book and were told we could have a table. First impression was, quite a small place probably not much choice. I was very wrong. A good choice of food on the menu to suit all tastes. I had the Tagliatelle Frutti Di Mare and it was delicious, my wife had the Chicken & Mushroom Rissotto and also thought it was delicious. If you want somewhere to eat in Weymouth, I would recommend this place every time. Well done Il Caprese. If we ever come back to Dorset, we will definitely pay you another visit.

Can't fault the food but it was obvious the staff couldn't wait to close up even though it was only 9.00pm. Server interrupted us 3 times asking if we'd if finished our starter. Felt very rushed and uncomfortable throughout our visit.

I don't believe that this is authentic Italian food, I ordered the lasagna/lasange and spaghetti bolognaise as our main dinner. The lasagna unfortunately was extremely bland and the bolognaise size was ridicoulas in fact it looked like a child's meal ! And at 14.50 per item I was expecting something alot better. Our starter didn't arrive with our main meal as this was forgotten. I can't comment on the other meals avaliable but I wouldn't recommend to any foodies as you will be very disappointed like myself.

We would highly recommend this restaurant, having had two brilliant experiences of it during our week in Weymouth. We dined at many places, but none could compete with the quality and value for money offered here.

Really poor, Service indifferent, food not seasoned and poor. I wouldn’t recommend. There is a reason why you can get table on a busy Friday night.!!

Dreadful. Arrived having booked a table for 7 people, to be sat at a table for 4. After some prompting we were moved to a more appropriately sized table. Starters arrived after a reasonably long lag — and the restaurant wasn’t that busy. 2 mains arrived, followed shortly by four more — one of which was wrong. It was changed, but took a while. Still no sign (or acknowledgment) of the missing seventh meal. Everyone finished, except the missing meal which, by now has been requested several times, and finally out of exasperation cancelled, although the did offer a takeout option! Paid the bill, which, to their credit had already had the cancelled meal removed. Left, hungry, to heating presumably the owner whinging about a whole sea bass wasted; indeed it was by your incompetent staff who couldn’t produce it, in over an hour. If you want to live thru an episode of fawlty Towers — this is the place to visit.

We booked a party of 10 on a Sunday night and was pleased they could accommodate us at such short notice. We arrived at the allotted time of 7pm and they hastily set up 2 tables of 6 and 4 next to each other. We ordered drinks and wine and were told that waiting time for food was 40 mins, this was fine as we were a large group. However, after approximately a hour we asked them to take our order, but only the starters were noted which basically was Garlic Bread and Bruschetta to share. 20 mins or so later, we then asked if they would take our main course orders which they did, we couldn't understand why these hadn't been taken earlier. The starters then appeared but there was confusion and some ended up on tables of other diners and then bought back to our tables once the mistake was realised. Mains finally arrived at 8.45pm! A couple of the dishes were served on cracked plates and promptly returned. Mains were decidedly average. All in all, perhaps in hindsight they shouldn't have taken such a large booking as although they were friendly, they seemed disorganised and under pressure. We also felt that everybody else in the Restaurant was being served first.

It’s fine for a sandwich I would imagine; but we were hungry so went for steak and I got the mozzarella tomato and chips. We should have cancelled the order when we saw the chef coming back with an Iceland bag. My boyfriends steak was...

This was easily the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The bruschetta was burnt and seemed like warmed up supermarket garlic bread with hot tomatoes put on top. The main courses were worse. The table next to us (an Italian couple) got up and left...

Pizza OK but not special, burger and chips was average. House white wine was warm and disappointing. Nice view, staff helpful and good décor. OK for a quick meal. Purely a nod to Covid. Staff not wearing masks!

This meal was an all around disappointment, and the service didn't make it any better. Between our table we had pizzas and a calzone. All pizzas without fail tasted wrong; a consistent "worst five pizza of our life" across our party. The tomato sauce was...

Friendly waitress, and the pizzas were delicious!! My friend, partner and myself were all very impressed and happy with our meals and would definitely return!

A lovely little Gem. Excellent food, fresh produce and the portion size is enormous great value for money. The staff are so friendly and polite would highly recommend

Booked a table tonight and wasn't disappointed, the pizzas and house wine were really nice followed by tiramisu. It was nice not to be rushed with your food. Will definitely be returning on our next visit to Weymouth

We came in yesterday around 15 and the staff were more than happy to serve us as all restaurants around were closed and would only serve again at 18, staff were really nice and the food was good we’ve loved the pear, rocket & Gorgonzola...

Ordered food for our works xmas party, trying to support a local business, very disappointing - incorrect order, vegetarian burgers supplied instead of meat burgers. A large number of items not available even though the order was placed the day before, this should have been...

We popped in for a quick snack as a family, nice menu, plenty to choose from, little ones enjoyed the smoothies especially. Food was very good and as it is located so close to the beach we had a nice stroll afterwards. Place has a...

I offer the following quick summary stating what we found was good, bad and/or indifferent about our experiences at this Italian café style restaurant. For those wanting further information please read on and find detail within the full review. Good: décor, coffee, ciabatta sandwiches and...
