I chose this restaurant for it's reviews, and though the food was good, I thought it was a bit pricey for what we got. This is a family restaurant whose waiters are the norm and whose decore is simple and plain (not festive). There was no soft lighting either, and the tables were a bit close together (when my friend... more

The food is unbelievable - absolutely mouth-watering. I have lived in the area for over 10 years and just found out about this restaurant. How could something this good be such a well kept secret. I believe it's because you don't expect this quality of food and service in a small town when it's so close to a resort. It's... more

I'm an EastCoast Italian girl. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Capri and wished we had our wedding there!! Our group was treated to the back room with authentic murals and dedicated service from the owner's son, who was friendy and funny! The Fruiti d'mare was exquisite!!

I went there tonight and found a pleasant mix of young energetic waitstaff and the comforting touch of grandma who is still very much involved in the restaurant. The meals... more

My wife and I have eaten at The Capri a dozen of times or more over the last few years. The Capri is known for its meat dishes – steak in particular! The pasta and sauce dishes are good but in no comparison to the steak. So, our advice is that if you want the BEST steak in the Palm... more

I kept seeing the Capri Italian restaurant listed everywhere as the place to go eat, essentially it is the only place to eat in Desert Hot Springs beyond fast food. So, we decided to eat here instead of driving back down to Palm Springs. And I have a mixed review of the place. It was definitely fairly packed early on... more
