Villa Capri

Nathan Grant

So I'm sure that reading all these 5 star reviews might make you suspicious, I know I was. I've lived in a small town before where "great food" to the locals was actually just mediocre to the rest of the world. But since I started dating an Italian from Long Island I've gone to Las Angeles, Portland OR, Boston, NYC, and had genuine homemade Italian family dinners. So you'd better believe me when I say, Villa Capri ranks number two on my list for Italian dining, second only to my girlfriend's family's cooking. The common points others have made are true. The portions are large, and I overheard the waitress telling someone that they really want it to be enough food for two meals. The wait staff was friendlier there than any other place I've been, including my own grandmother's kitchen on my birthday 😂. Seriously, we got out to the car and had forgotten our leftovers and our waitress ran it out to us. My god I could've hugged her. The food was bomb. It's hard for me to eat Italian because I'm mildly lactose intolerant and don't do well with carb heavy meals, but the baked salmon dish I got was incredible. My girlfriend got gnocchi in vodka sauce and loved it, and she's veeeerrrryyy particular about her food. When dessert came along she got a raspberry tiramisu and I ordered the lemon pie gelato (honestly I may go back just for the gelato). So yeah, if you're considering going to Villa Capri, JUST DO IT!

Hubby got the shrimp fettuccine alfredo and I got the 3 cheese tortellini with vodka sauce. The portions justified the prices and we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The server was very kind and attentive. It was really nice that we were able to bring our own wine in. We had a wonderfully romantic Valentine's dinner and we'll be sure to come back again.

The food is absolutely delicious. Staff are friendly and quick. Dining room feels close but not small. Skip the appetizers and save room for dessert.

We found this place from a Google search of restaurants near me. It's unassuming outside but, cozy and classic inside. The food is amazing. I had the spinach gnocchi with vodka sauce. That sauce was to die for. Of course I had to try the meatballs. They did not disappoint..they melt in your mouth. The veal parmesan with shrimp was so tender and delicious. The portions are huge. Unless you haven't eaten in days, you will be taking some home. I can't forget to mention the beautiful little salad and the generous serving of garlic bread(with enough garlic to make any Italian happy). I can't wait to return and try another pasta...there are so many it may take all year. They don't just have pasta, there is an extensive meat, chicken, & seafood menu also. If you're in Altoona skip the Olive Garden and go authentic Italian, you won't be disappointed.
