Italian

Capri trattoria is great. We tried quite a few dishes and they all hit the spot like only homecooked Italian food can: with style, warmth, love and consistency.

Pictured here is my favorite of the evening: Fettuccine alla Piemontese. The tender home made pasta coated in rich and creamy truffle, topped with porcini mushrooms, thinly sliced cured prosciutto and Parmesan shavings, is infused with the subtle aromas of all ingredients. I will definitely want to have this dish again, as the depth of flavors and smooth textures is truly outstanding.

A few other dishes we enjoyed:
- Caprese appetizer: the soft fresh cheese with tomato slices and herbs was a great antipasto.
- The pizza tartufata is a suitable choice for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. The blend of cheese, truffle and mushrooms is nicely melting atop a thin crispy crust, making pizza here a must-share item.
- Gnocchi Della Mamma are truly fantastic. The spinach and ricotta mixture is fragrant and light, coated in a delicious tomato sauce. This dish tasted exquisitely home-made. You simply cannot get these flavors from a jar.

We ended the evening with a classic tiramisu, a torta al limone and the spectacular lava cake on fire. It was rewarding and refreshing, as the sugar levels in all desserts were enough to sweeten while retraining the original zesty lemon taste, the chocolate and coffee smooth bitterness and the creamy cocoa flavors.

It was a deeply satisfying dinner, with great service, delicious food and lively family atmosphere.

Capri gets a golden star from me
