Trattoria Capri in Plymouth

Literally THE BEST food we’ve had outside of Italy. The pasta was absolutely delicious, the chicken Milanese was sooooo good and the spaghetti pomodoro to die for! Highly recommend this gem on a street full of places to eat .. lovely service and they fit us in on a busy Saturday night too. Yummy yummy in our tummies!

Great service and even better food. I had a crab linguine and it was superb. My wife had chicken in a cream sauce was was just as good. We had tiramisu for afters which was homemade and superb. Many options on the menu from what I saw all are good. The portions are quite large.

Fantastic food and service …… we hit it on a very busy Saturday night as walk in …….the owner found us a table and service was great …….food very traditional delicious Italian and to top it off very reasonably priced …….we loved it so much went back next night for dinner ……on our 2 night stay in Plymouth…….highly recommend

I had the lasagne, and it tasted like they had used cheap mince. The sauce was flavourless. Some of the party ordered pizza and had to send it back as it was under cooked. Everyone who ordered pizza had to ask for a pizza cutter so they could recut the pizza

Visited for lunch. Delicious food, large portions. Value for money. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely staff, delicious food and good prices We had 2 courses set menu (2 courses for £14.50) Hot, obviously freshly cooked food and way more than either of us could eat. Absolutely recommend this place 💯%

Quick service, great Italian food.

We were looking forward to trying a new restaurant in a prime location in Plymouth. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a good experience. I tend to only leave positive reviews but the experience here was terrible. We walked in just after another couple and despite having a reservation we’re told to sit anywhere by a waitress who seemed disturbed by the fact customers were coming into the restaurant. For a Saturday evening it was very quiet. It took the waiter 20 minutes to give us a menu, and he said we should have alerted him to the fact no one had given a menu to us yet. I don’t think this is an issue that should have been passed on to the customer , especially when there were only 4 or 5 other tables occupied at the time. My partner ordered a pint but only a half pint turned up , although this was soon rectified. I ordered Arancini balls to start and they were cold in the middle. They were taken away and replaced but it was da shame that this needed to be done. We ordered a spaghetti carbonara and were disappointed to see it was made with cream. Carbonara has only four ingredients, pasta, egg yolks, pecorino and guancile, and the fact it was made with cream at this restaurant meant it was not authentic Italian food. The restaurant seemed focussed on large portions instead of tasty and flavoursome dishes. The restaurants website says “Our menu offers a fresh new approach to fine dining” however sadly there was nothing fine dining about this restaurant. The food lacked flavour and the service was lack lustre.

Absolutely amazing food and excellent service

The food was absolutely amazing! Went in for our anniversary tonight and was not disappointed. First time visiting and we are already planning our next visit (partner is planning on trying the WHOLE menu). Staff were so lovely and friendly, nothing was to much trouble for them. Thank you for making our evening so enjoyable.

If you're looking for top quality Italian food this is the place to go. Service was quick food was amazing, portion sizes were huge food came out hot 🔥 can't wait for my next visit

Was really hungry so looked for somewhere local. Stumbled upon this place, wish I didn't. Fantastic staff, very welcoming. Decent atmosphere, but nothing about the food was good nor authentic Italian. The ingredients did not seem fresh. The portions were American sized. Carpaccio was drenched in vinegar and lemon, too thick and way too much rocket. Pasta had way too much oil, and tasted plain. I'd honestly recommend the owners to have a smaller menu and focus on strengthening their dishes.

Very good food and lovely staff.

So good. We attended Saturday and Sunday for lunch. My mum commented best meal she's had in the UK and we've visited a few times! Faultless service thank you Isla:)) and food, very reasonably priced for such large portions.

best italian food ive ever eaten everyone must check this place out also the staffs were super friendly and also helped me out with the decision

Excellent quality food and good service. Portions are generous.

Many thanks for my servicing ,from the one really good and nice person who welcome me ☺️ and make me to be happy in that rainny day....Many thanks to her .... I don't know her name but many thanks to her

I had an amazing experience last night. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Our server, Nayomi, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening out.

Restaurant was really nice, clean and well maintained. Had Brushetta (bit bland) but Pizza Dynamite was as nice a Pizza as I've ever had anywhere. Partner had same starter and Frutti De Mare which she said was lovely. Staff attentive and pleasant. Disappointingly staff allowed a couple to bring their dog in the Restaurant, not seen that before, so family next to them just had put up with it. The interior has lovely pictures etc with Italian theme (obviously) but background music ranged from Marc Bolan to the theme from Grease, not sure what happened there!!. Finally, if you look at menus and cost online before visiting, be aware the prices on the menu showing on website are a minimum of 20% more in reality. Overall, an ok experience but wouldn't go again for reasons mentioned.

Located in the Barbican, atmosphere great, waiters are attentive and humorous . We had a lovely meal.

Call in today for lunch, we all had a set dinner for 14.50 each, food arrived quickly fresh and very tasty. Staff friendly and efficient, definitely worth a visit.

The food was amazing! We sat by the window and we didn’t get an Italian vibe unfortunately. Maybe next time!

Went their last night had Dover Sole it was awful not cook excuse it was too large and he was in a hurry that's not the first time that has happened to me never again

Best Italian meal I've ever had!

We didnt get to have our meal as they didnt have a table for us despite booking over 6 weeks ago. They gave tables to walk-ins not planning bookings. Others like us were turned away or offered to wait 30-45 mins. What was the point of booking. Seemed totally disorganised and chaotic. Think we had a lucky escape.

We didnt get to have our meal last night even though we booked a table over 6 weeks ago. They allowed walk-ins so if we wanted a table we would have to wait 30-45 mins. No point in booking. Happened to others turning up too. Totally disorganised and chaotic. Think we had a lucky escape.

One of the best meals I've had for years, everything was tasty and large portions. Staff were lovely and best cheese cake I've tasted. Will go every time I visit my daughter in uni!!

Didn’t get it right on this occasion the waiter was inundated and clearly understaffed and the food was well below the normal standard bruschetta was nothing more than chopped tomatoes on toasted French stick no leaves oil or balsamic my wife’s carbonara nad no pancetta and was tasteless compared to normal such a shame we normally rave about how good this place is 🤷‍♂️

We managed to get a table here on a Saturday evening in early September, no booking and it was pretty busy so we had an hour and a bit to order and eat. All the food was excellent, huge portions and very tasty, all delivered to our table very promptly by friendly and informative wait staff. The pizza I had was authentic Italian style, Spag bol was not just meat but had lots of veg in the sauce, lemon chicken was really good with great selection of stir fried veg, the seafood linguine also excellent.Highly recommended all round.

Italians, stay away from here! As much as possible! The menu out in the window sounds tempting but when they bring the dishes to your table you will understand that it is not Italian food made by Italian hands with quality ingredients. Obviously recipes literally Englishized but in the worst way! Even the head waiter (probably the owner of the place) claimed that these recipes are like this! It's like this in England. Zero professionalism! I should have understood it when I read Bolognese instead of the classic ragù! Arancini are something that look like meatballs with tomato souce and rocket on the top! Pizza. No comment. The bread. No comment. Sicilian pasta. No comment. Arancini. No comment. Cannelloni. No comment. Parmesan. No comment. Bill. NO COMMENT!!!!!! Italians stay away from here as much as possible! I made this big mistake!

Was so looking forward to eating in this restaurant but was so disappointed but I must say the two waitresses that were on duty were faultless! The same could not be said for the food, starter of garlic mushroom for me was so garlicky and salty, but the biggest disappointment was the Saltimbocca it was not lush and creamy but a salty brown sludge that was so salty you couldn’t taste anything else it was so bad I couldn’t eat it, when I spoke to the male member of the staff enquiring if he was the manager which he replied with yes I then said about the appalling food and his answer was “what do you want me to do about it” then walked off, at this point we left the waitress a £10 tip for having to deal with such bad food paid for our wine and left, we will never go back

Such a marvellous experience- the food was amazing. A delicious prawn cocktail and a delectable calamari main and the service second to none. Will be back - thanks for a great experience 😀

It's the first time I've been here, oh why didn't I find it earlier!!! Fantastic pizza & a truly amazing cheesecake. This will now be a regular lunchtime venue for eating. Really great place.

Very welcoming and friendly service. We didn’t book a table but they were happy to accommodate us even on a busy Saturday evening. The food was exceptionally delicious in very generous portions. I’d recommend the Frutti di mare risotto. The risotto was perfectly cooked in a flavoursome stock loaded with plenty of fresh mixed seafood (lots of jumbo sized mussels). The seasoning was spot on (I especially like the spring onions as topping). Highly recommended if you’re around Plymouth and crave for an Italian meal.

Fantastic food, great service and nice surroundings.

Can't say more, this place is so good that I'm dreaming about the crab linguini weeks later. Slightly heavy on the oil for me bus I couldnt stop eating and can't wait to go back

Lovely atmosphere and polite friendly staff. Portion sizes were very large so bargain from the lunchtime menu deal.

Food was ok but nothing special, what upset us the most is being charged £37 for a bottle of Aldi wine. Once pointed out it got rectified but still nobody likes being made a fool.

The pizza wasn’t a good one. If you are used to Italian pizza try the pasta. The pasta was delicious. It was very busy when we stayed there so we had to wait a long time. But the staff was very kind and friendly. Prices are good for the size of the food.

Walked in as a group of 4 after 8pm on a Monday evening, and we knew we were pushing it as kitchens would want to close, but they set us up at the table and immediately offered drinks. We didn't feel at all rushed to order and the food was not only really tasty, but the portions were extremely generous. The staff here were lovely all evening and will definitely be going again.

Had an amazing brunch here with the family. Staff were so friendly and were excellent with our grandsons "demands". Portions were excellent and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend if you are ever in Plymouth.

Really lovely food, cooked with love in spite of how busy they were. Portions were huge and everyone left feeling full.

Perfect..everthying.cheesy pizza ..super tasty cheescake..pasta was also very good.

Have to give a shout out to this place, it was so good. Staff were friendly, gave recommendations on dishes (glad I listened. He was right). Starters of meatballs and melanzine came out very quickly, probably microwaved but not a problem as they were both tasty. Mains: husband has pasta in a tomatoey based sauce, which he was dead happy with and I had the garlic chicken. Oh my, I love garlic and this was really pungent and absolutely incredible! Reasonably priced, good pinot, great spot. We will definitely return.

Very good food and perfect hosts 😀😀😀

I last went there a year ago and the food and service was impeccable. I went there today with my son and we did not go off the set lunch but the main menu. He had prawn cocktail which looked as if 7 defrosted shrimps or prawns had been thrown on a plate with Marie Rose sauce chucked on top sprinkled with paprika. Presentation dreadful. I had Carpaccio which is my favourite starter of all time and although the presentation was improved, it was not seasoned properly and drowning in shaved Parmesan or hard Italian cheese alternative. The beef was tasteless and very chewy. My son then had Spaghetti Bolognaise and had a large portion where the spaghetti was mixed with the sauce but the sauce did seem very watery. I had a chicken Caesar salad which was totally underwhelming I had 5 tiny chunks of chicken and four lardons, on a plate full of slightly curling salad leaves which had been once again drowned in shavings of Parmesan. My son had apple juice and I had a glass of wine and soda. Neither of us had deserts. The meal totalled £56 and has got to be one of the most appalling meals I have ever had in Plymouth. The staff were ok so against my better judgement I did give a 10% tip because I always feel for waiting staff and wages, but again did not do anything that made them stand out. I will not eat here, and will next time eat in the Pasta and Pizza Bar in the Barbican or The Village to ensure a basic good service across all items on the menu. I am very sad having had a good experience previously, when people are struggling to make ends meet and paying hard earned money to go out for a treat meal it is very disappointing when the meal falls so far short of satisfactory.

I had high hopes for this Italian restaurant, given the strong recommendations, but my recent visit was disappointing. The waiting times were excessive, starting with a long delay between being seated and having our drinks order taken. There was another significant wait before our food order was finally taken, making the experience frustrating from the start. It was difficult to get the waitress's attention, contributing to the slow service. When the bruschetta starter finally arrived, it was poor and had to be sent back. The child's meals were overly large, overwhelming them, which seems like a waste. The chips were also over cooked. The spaghetti meals we ordered all tasted the same, clearly using the same sauce with different ingredients added, lacking the variety and authenticity expected from an Italian menu. Additionally, the drinks we received were not cold, seemingly not refrigerated. The carbonara, however, received positive feedback from those who had it, which was a slight redeeming factor. The standout aspect of our visit was our waitress, Ayla, who was attentive and smiley despite the overall service issues. It's a shame to see the standards of this restaurant appear to have dropped in recent months. While Ayla's excellent service was a bright spot, it wasn't enough to compensate for the overall disappointing experience.

Our Second time here! Can't speak highly enough about our experience! Five of us spent Thursday 18th here and all had amazing meals and service! We were lucky enough to be able to spend a short while chatting to the wonderful waitress Sandra , what a good hard working and lovely person, who made our experience complete! would we go again ? We all can't wait to return !

I ate here with two companions. With 2 of us (me including) eating a carbonara and another eating a pizza. The carbonara was passable at best, clearly not using authentic pancetta and the sauce off by many margins. Furthermore, the pizza was clearly made with an odd combination of various cheeses and was compared to that of a school dinner. Overall, would not recommend and there are plenty of better options in the surrounding area.

Firstly I'd like to say the food was genuinely amazing, great size portions and delicious. However, and this is a big however we visited on a Thursday evening around 7.30 so granted it's a busy time but this does not excuse the over an hour and fithteen minute wait for our starter to come out and then another 40 mins for the main - especially as we saw other customers come in with bigger table sizes and the same size come in to the restaurant after us and leave before us. This could have been easily fixed with a complimentary drink whilst we waited or a starter taken off the bill - however this review will have to do.

Good food Great choices Well cooked Good portions

Beautiful food. Waitress was amazing, a credit to the restaurant.

Amazing food, brilliant value for money as the portions are huge! So tasty, would definitely recommend.

Not a single thing that wasn't great. Great food, very quick service, and all the staff were incredibly friendly! Food was delicious and a very short wait! I also had to ask if they'd forgotten something off the bill as it was alot less than expected. Genuinely very impressed and happy!

Cracking little place , fantastic food and a really nice owner.

We have eaten here twice now and cannot fault the food, price, and service. The food is outstanding. This is now one of our favourite places to go. Highly recommend 👌

Fabulous meal, definitely worth money, fabulous meal. Service fantastic too. Highly recommend its great value for money x

I do recommend Trattoria Capri for decent Italian food in Plymouth. The servings were well worth for its price. The variety of food from starters, mains and desserts are all good. We will be back for sure!

Just utterly pleasant, comforting, and it revives.

Great food and the service was amazing.

Fantastic, was visiting friends in the area ,we dined here ,12 of us the food was superb ,service everything, if I have one complaint, there was to much food 👌,I can highly recommend

Decent all round, friendly service, quality food and proper portions for a fair price. Risotto was lovely Thanks

Definitely very filling meals with great service

The food is delicious and so fresh. Will always eat here when I come to Plymouth. The Carne menu dishes are outstanding and very creditably priced!

Fish Food pasta very poor, bit into calamari and tasted gone off ,payed food without eaten it and said it was gone off shrivelled up dry seafood, very poor, never going there again,

The food was really nice , we had the lunchtime menu , which for lunchtime menu there was a lot to choose from The portion sizes were great It's definitely worth a visit. we have been a few times now , and the cost is really good too. 🥰

I bought carbonara pasta and the cheese was a disaster. the tirmis not as it should be. you can't call it Italian food

Food outstanding 👌 nice fresh and tasty. Service was good to

Quick service perhaps slightly too fast but the menu was extensive and prices good

We visited last night with friends. Excellent, food and service. Nice atmosphere and you are never rushed. We have been many times and cannot fault it.

Had a double birthday celebration there. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't eat before you as portions are huge. Great food. 👍 friendly staff. Especially young waitress (sorry didn't get her name)

Super service and food. A good experience all round.

Lovely restaurant. Food is good very large portion! If not too hungry don't order starter.

Good place, reasonable prices. Massive food portions.

Fantastic food served hot on warmed plates (not the case in most places) Reasonably priced and beautifully presented Definitely visit

Really lovely italian style food, big portions, very freindy service. Good value for money. I had fresh crab linguine, delicious. Huge delicious desserts.

Had a party of 13 in a busy Restaurant, where the food all came out together. Piping hot. Very generous portions. Absolutely delicious. Every meal that came out looked and tasted amazing. Staff very friendly and fun. Probably the best Restaurant in Plymouth.

Very, very good and delicious food, period My recommendation: eat here.

Table of 13. Food was superb. Arrived promptly. All piping hot. Our waitresses were knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Will definitely return.

First time ever going to this restaurant tonight. What can I say the food was amazing, hot, tasty and so much of it. The staff were funny very friendly aswell. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

Always on the lookout for new restaurants in Plymouth, so was excited when this new Italian opened up. It’s as good as the menu looks, fresh, authentic Italian food. Plenty of choice, great service, will be back again soon!

Just a mess, Lovely food but was a Cold lasagna, warm chilled drinks, hair and piece of plastic in my not warmed fudge cake waiter said it was plastic from the fridge, a new desert made and was heated up and a tiny portion to the first desert that was replaced, Staff rushing about spilling drinks over the other table and knocked an empty glass on ours made a very anxious and expensive meal

Mediterranean Sea bass, first time trying and not the last time, it was brilliant.

Such a lovely evening, our food was so good. We'd had a long day travelling, the food and staff certainly lifted our mood. We had garlic mushrooms in a creamy sauce, penne turinese with chicken and my husband ordered sauteed potatoes (we hadn't eaten all day). Very generous portions that I couldn't finish and was offered a takeaway box, I didn't take them up on this, but I thought this was another lovely thought. Absolutely fantastic, will definitely return 😊

Unfortunately this isn’t an authentic Italian as we were served a frozen cooked pizza whilst our bill was nearly £150.00. I didn’t realise it wasnt authentic Italian or I would’ve gone back to Manuka bar or knead a pizza. Just wanted to give the heads up to everyone. I even spoke to the restaurant owner and he said the chef has a true Italian passion for food. Please dont waste your money- go to Manuka bar or knead a pizza/ Positano restaurant to get cheaper authentic Italian food. I can’t believe we paid £14.95 for a basic frozen margarita pizza. Don’t fall into the trap like I did. 😡

Had an amazing pasta meal. Staff were really helpful in explaining the menu and pointing out food that i may like to try. Very good value. Will definitely be going back.

We found ourselves here on a wet Wednesday night....the restaurant next door was full so we went to Trattoria Capri. The service was great...the waiting staff were very attentive. The wine was very nice. The salad was OK. The pizza was absolutely awful...i have never had such a bad pizza in my life...I guess they let the dish washing guy have a go at making one... If you want a good pizza go somewhere else!

I enjoyed the lasagna which was tasty and hot. I could have eaten more! Tasty and pretty home value.

Good service and excellent food which was cooked to perfection.

I was there with my family today and everything was absolutely perfect the service, the food was amazing and a very comfortable atmosphere nothing was too much trouble we will certainly be enjoying more meals there.

My partner mentioned the restaurant a month ago saying she wanted to try it. I booked it for our 6th year anniversary as a surprise and it was worth every penny! I booked a table at 20:00 for 2 and when we arrived it was busy which was a decent indication the food was good. And that indication couldn't have been more right! Service was excellent with 2 very friendly servers seeing to us constantly and the wait for food did not take long with us sharing a starter and then the 2 mains. We noticed a large group of about 15 on the other side of the restaurant and we were considerate and assumed it would be a while before our food came out but once again we were very pleasantly surprised; not only did we wait less than half hour from seating, the food was absolutely amazing and the portions were huge! And I mean it was no easy feat to finish the Bolognese but it was worth every fork full. I normally don't leave reviews but after seeing the notification pop up, I couldn't say no after their help in making it a fantastic night. I couldn't fault the pricing, service, food or any part of the evening for that matter. Truly would recommend to any family member or friend and we will be returning soon ourselves. Thank you to the staff and chefs on Friday, truly a great experience - 5 stars!

Amazing restaurant for our date night! Excellent friendly service with excellent food choices. Portions excellent size worth the money and amazingly tasty! Will definitely be going Back to try everything on the menu

Food excellent, service excellent.

Absolutely stunning food and the friendly service was excellent. Cant fault the food as everything tasted fantastic and it was so clean and spacious throughout. Really made my mums birthday. Will definitely be going back!!!

We had a meal here today (10/03/23) and the food was delicious! Great service! We had to wait a little longer due to it being packed, but the food was so tasty it was worth the wait! Compliments to the chef.

This is a very authentic, no nonsense Italian restaurant. The staff are incredibly charming and friendly. The three of us had arancini, spaghetti Bolognese, pasta gamberi and pasta with beef ribbons...all completely delicious and cooked to perfection. The portions are large and the food comes nice and quick! Highly recommend, will definitely return.

Lovely restaurant with a good selection of dishes. My friend and visited for lunch and took advantage of the two course deal. Portions are huge! I was thankfully able to take my leftovers home with me. Great value for money, would recommend 😊

The service was amazing, only two waiting and they were very busy the entire time my partner and I were there. We were mainly served by a girl who was lovely and smiley. It was slightly slow service but for all they were doing it was expected. The food was good and not over priced, would be happy to come back again! Only rated four stars because we came at a busy time and it's quite a small place to be packed. Customer service and food was 10/10 though!

Amazing food and drinks the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The portion size is bigg definitely didn’t leave hungry. First time here and we will definitely will be back. Thank you for a wonderful eve

Only time for drinks, as already eaten. Great venue, atmosphere, drinks & service. Darren is a great host, thank you very much, we'll be back 😀 👍
