We had company Sunday and Mat had watched a newscast about a new Italian eatery very close to us. On Tuesday we were able to visit with our good friends, John and Debbie Birge and maybe resurrect the Eating Omaha blog at the same time. No reservations except for 6 or more. Very tiny place and we got there at 6 and snagged a table for four. Several later customers were turned away due to very limited seating.
This venue is actually in the back of a sports bar called Tanners. The owner has several venues in town and Capri shares a kitchen with the sports bar out front. Cool idea to fly a new concept with minimal risk.
Since this was a new endeavor the interior space was not much to talk about. Clean and utilitarian with a bar and friendly bartender and a single waiter the night we were there, all the tables were full.
The menu boasts traditional Italian fare, large portions and very well executed. We sampled the Chicken Piccata, Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan. All very tasty and large portions. The Lasagna had a bit of heat to it, the ladies loved the piccata and the Chicken parm was crispy and loaded with cheese. The pasta was a bit over cooked but the sauce was a nice compliment to the dish. Great prices and included a delicious salad. I had Ceasar and the rest had the house salad with various dressings, all good. Nice list of cocktails but I had a beer. The waiter started us to 2 loaves of crispy garlic bread. All in all a great place to grab a bite and not break the bank. The 2 of us was $58 including tip. Can’t complain. Great food, great company.
