Capri of Downers Grove

So we went to check out the new menu and unfortunately we were not fans. Food : 2/5 | Service : 5/5 | Atmosphere : 5/5 More

Nice atmosphere but $24 for three medium ravioli that were barely warm and the sauce watery will definitely ensure I won't be back.

Loved dinner at the bar with Adrian. Great wine list. The brasciole is outstanding. Will absolutely be back!

This is a tough one to write. I've given this 5 stars in the past. Unfortunately they recently changed their menu and it seems to be slipping.  Gone are old classics like linguine and clams and lasagna, which they execute on well. They advertise a new modern menu but I don't find anything on it modern only odd.  For example the old squid ink pasta is now called black linguine and comes with to large octopus legs thrown on top with slices of salami in the sauce. Pieces of thin sliced salami In a pasta sauce provides for a strange texture and the legs laid on top of the dish just look weird.  I went back to try another dish and got the bolognese which now comes with eight fingers. I found the bolognese to not be very true to a meaty flavor and the eight fingers pasta just ended up making the dish mushy.  I suspect they will see a near term uptick in sales due to just having a new menu but then it will slide as there won't be favorites or cool new things to return to.  I hope the owner reads this because we need a place like capri in our neighborhood. Hey change it up, have specials, but make sure it is good first.
