Caprini

We visited on Tuesaday 11th May. My wife has a restricted diet and the waiter could not have been more helpful. There were three of us and each course was served as required. For the main course my wife had a delicious, grilled sea bass; my step-son had veal saltimbocca and I had tournedos Rossini. We had a splendid Dao to accompany the meal and finished with zabaglione, cognac and espresso coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was excellent; the prices very agreeable; the service delightful. The decor is a little "aged" but who cares? We had a splendid meal in a delightful restaurant and I look forward to our return.

Dropped in after a show at The Old Vic ,which is 100 metres away. Never heard of it before. It was an excellent choice. Lovely welcome , good waiter , friendly proprietor . Had the Veal, superb. Also a very good Portugese white wine . Great atmosphere.

Will always go here when in the Waterloo area.

I have to disagree with most of the reviews about Caprini. Although the food is edible, it has a quality of school dinners. My pasta might as well have come from a Tesco packet. More upsetting, my wife's "risotto" was basmati rice with a tomato sauce and canned mushrooms. As my wife pointed out there's no point in complaining since this was the standard this restaurant produces and looking around at the meals served to other diners, I agreed. On the plus side the service was first rate and the wine was good. There are many places nearby offering much better food at a similar price, go elsewhere.

A reliable Italian meal whenever needed in Waterloo, and good value.

The decor is a bit 1980s, but that makes a change from benches and plastic

The staff actually are Portuguese but this has obvious benefits of ability to cook vegetables including chips, good expresso and 2001 Dao Reserva red wine and competent service.

I have had very good medium rare fillet steaks here, while my wife has been happy with Spaghetti bolonaise and veal escaloppe, and seafood spaghetti options. A chap nearby was having whitebait and then a pepper steak with veg for £12.95 all in, off the daily 2 course special menu.

We are incraesingly finding it better value than its competitors in the area
