Bottega di Capri

Nestled in charming Brookline Village, Bottega di Capri exudes a delightful sunny and cozy ambiance that instantly transports you to Italy. I recently stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly greeted by their friendly staff. Despite a bit of a wait (understandable since they hand-cut their meats), the payoff was worth it.I opted for their Italian sandwich, and WOW, was it good! Packed with authentic flavors and generous portions, it's clear they prioritize quality. The price was fair for the size and taste you get--definitely a good value.I'm already planning my return for dinner to explore more of their menu. If you appreciate genuine Italian cuisine served in a warm atmosphere, Bottega di Capri won't disappoint!

This a cozy, family-run restaurant that has really great Italian food. I've only had the pastas but they're reasonably priced and the portions are very manageable: not too much but I always finish all my food totally satisfied! They also have beautiful tiramisu. The waiter is so friendly, too.I would highly recommend the Lobster ravioli with scampi sauce! I get it every time

We ordered angel hair & shrimp and this was a mistake. The pasta was in a pool of oil and the bread was stale. We suspect the great reviews are based on the sandwiches.

Small Italian restaurant with delicious food and great service. Highly recommended! Ravioli is great. Would definitely come back again.

Local Italian restaurant that was surprisingly good for not being in north end. Service was fast and friendly. Space was a little bit cramped but nothing unreasonable. Would come back for their tasty seafood pastas

One of the rare instances in which the service elevates the food. Judging only the dishes we got, I'd rank Bottega di Capri as closer to 3 stars but our waiter was so kind and grandfatherly and came by often with water refills/to see how we were doing. I can see why this place is popular in the neighborhood. Good for families, but if you're a large group, come here early. The space is small and they don't take reservations. By far the best things we ordered were the pastas - the seafood risotto and the linguine with scallops, clams, and shrimp. The risotto was fluffy and creamy and permeated with the briny seafood. Presentation was a little slapdash but the taste was undeniable. Overall, the prices were insanely affordable, almost pre-inflation levels - our seafood pastas were each less than $20. I wouldn't recommend the Caesar salad. Though the salad had wonderful, thick shavings of Parmesan, the dressing tasted store-bought. The house bread was also on the stale side. Don't skip the tiramisu. Not sure if they make it in house but it was one of the better iterations of the dessert I've had. Parking: Street options in front of the restaurant and a municipal lot one street over.

It a very small restaurant located in the heart of brookline village. When you walk into the restaurant you feel like your in grandmother kitchen few tables nothing fancy. The owner of the place comes out to greet you and give you. Menu showing the daily offering of pasta during the week and sandwiches. I recommend the Italian sandwich, the meat is cut fresh in front of you and offer you choice put on bulk or focaccia roll. The price of sandwich is 9.99 which is not bad these days.

A small neighborhood restaurant on Harvard Street next to a few shops. I came here on a Wednesday night for dinner and by 6pm the place was fully packed. The servers were really kind and didn't rush us to order while we waited for our whole party to come. I ordered spaghetti in cream sauce with chicken, bacon, peas, and arugula. I thoroughly enjoyed my pasta and finished it all. The pasta was cooked al dente and the peas still had a small crunch to them. The serving portion is just enough to feel full, but not stuffed. For dessert, we shared a piece of chocolate cake, which was standard. The frosting was sweet and had a good chocolate flavor to it. They have different daily specials and I am hoping to come back to try the lasagna one day.

Service was so beyond attentive, I would recommend it with that fact alone! We enjoyed the bruschetta, two pieces was large enough to split between two people. Then a cold Italian sub and Caprese sub. Delicious. All around an incredible hole in the wall that I would love to return to some day. Small, limited tables, but you are served here, not cafe order up front style

Very cute place. Small and cozy with wooden tables and chairs. It was pretty full but the seated our party of six very quickly ( 6:45 pm). YouGenerous slices of bread: crunchy crust and soft inside.lots of choices on the menu. The fried zucchini appetizer came with a nice green salad. Zucchini was crunchy. Generous servings.i got the ravioli with cheese and with mushrooms. I liked the mushrooms the best. You can choose from a long list if sauces. I chose Alfredo pesto. Very good.- italiano sandwich was fresh.Server was friendly and helpful.
