Like the rating says; RUN DON'T WALK TO CAPRI IN DOWNERS GROVE!!!! Wow is all I can say. Being new to the area and it being our anniversary my wife and I decided to try Capri in Downers Grove and have to say the experience will lead us to be there at least once a week. We were greeted promptly and asked if we would hang our coats. A nice touch since my wife hates to have her coat draped over a chair. The manager said that our table would be ready in just a couple of minutes and we decided on a drink at the bar. As we were walking at least 3 different employees greeted us as we were family. At the bar I decided on wine (very good selection and moderately priced) and my wife a choose a lemon drop martini (sugar rimmed included) . By this time our table was ready. Once at the table the bus person brought hot bread and water and again greeted us as he knew us for years. Next came a very knowledgeable server who explained the menu which has many items and our server even recommended his choices. I choose the Homemade Rigatoni with Vodka Sauce and added ground sausage my wife choose the Sea bass. Salads were brought promptly and on COLD plates their Caesar dressing was great. The entrees came promptly and we were overwhelmed by the quantity and quality. From the first bite we were hooked on Capri. The homemade rigatoni was cooked perfectly and the sea bass (10 oz) was by far the best my wife has ever tasted. Our server suggested bananas foster (flamed at your table) but we have to save something for next time. We will be back and with our family and friends.
