Capronis Restaurant and Bar

First time at Caproni's -Nov '24Service was great. Food was great. I had the pork chop and my dad had the grilled salmon. I'd definitely go back whenever I'm in the Maysville area.

I had a very nice experience at this restaurant one Thursday evening in Maysville.I arrived a few minutes late, but my group was already seated at their table since we had a reservation. They had drinks when I arrived, and mine was brought out promptly after ordering.To start, we had the calamari and the spinach and artichoke dip as appetizers. This was followed by their signature salads and a bread basket, and then our entrees. I got the salmon with their brussels sprouts with bacon.The food was good, but nothing made me go "wow." The calamari had a nice crunch, and the dip was very cheesy. The bread was just okay, but their homemade cinnamon butter made it better. My salmon was very good; it was well seasoned and flaked beautifully. The brussels sprouts on the other hand were just fine, but I definitely would not order them again.Overall, it was a nice meal and everyone went home full. I would come back again to try something new, as the service was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Definitely try the cinnamon butter, but skip the brussels sprouts.

Wow what a hidden Gem! Capronis nestled in Maysville Kentucky just outside the floodwall next to the Ohio River and train station. The atmosphere is kinda old world Italian but yet somewhat modern. Very well decorated. Denise James was our host. She not only took care of us but gave us a little history of the restaurant, that has been there for more that 100 years. Their entrees include a local salad, which was refreshing and not overly drowned in dressing. Capronis have a very extensive wine selection and not just Italian fare to choose for dinner. I chose the old pogue glazed pork chop and the succotash and stewed tomatoes. My lovely wife chose the chicken piccata pasta. The pork chop with a bone in was absolutely amazing and the bourbon glaze that I had on the side was so flavorful I had to use it all up. It needs to be bottled. The succotash with corn and Lima beans was not overcooked but perfect. My favorite was the Italian stewed tomatoes. Reminded me of my childhood when my mother made them. My wife gave the chicken piccata pasta a A++. We finished our evening with a fantastic cup of coffee and a homemade turtle cheesecake. This will be a definite return destination! If you're close to Maysville Kentucky it is a must!

Setting was great , fabulous waitress, & mid rare steak cooked to perfection.. it's a must stop if you're in Maysville KY

We had been driving all night from St. Louis picked up our friend in West Union, OH, and he tells us that he made reservations about 20 minutes away in KY. What? We just drove 6 hours to see you. Isn't there a place closer? He assured us that we wouldn't be disappointed. So we say our hellos and pile back into the car... all 5 of us... to trek on icy unfamiliar roads in the dark to a restaurant that BETTER live up to the hype. The location is beautiful at night (I'm sure it's lovely in the daylight too). In the foyer, we were greeted by a painting or photo of Rosemary Clooney and a beautiful light. Our waitress was sweet, and she told us the special and went on her way. I saw that calamari was on the menu, and it's a given that I'm gonna order that when I'm out. We also ordered potato skins. They looked amazing. I didn't try them, and in looking at the menu, I didn't see them listed, but everyone said they were really good. The salad and rolls came out. The rolls were warm... nice touch. The salad is brought out in one big bowl. I get it... it saves lettuce because some people just pick at their salad, but I was first to get some out of the bowl and didn't want to be selfish, so I didn't get enough. That's really the only con. My main entree was shrimp and grits. It was very good but like a lot of places they keep the tails on. I just don't get that. It gets super messy. One of my friends got a Hotbrown sandwich. Another got the catfish. We really liked that they had Kentucky Classics on the menu. It made our choices easier.Between the wine and drive, we were all really tired, but we still had dessert. We shared cheesecake and transparent pie. We call it sugar pie. As someone who doesn't like pie at all, I was pleasantly surprised. We were talking to the table next to us... they were celebrating a birthday, so we sang with them, wished them many more, and then a southern gentleman gave us his dessert. It was good. I believe it was tirimasu in a mug. Oh, and the whipped cream on the desserts was great!! The service was good. We even asked to hear back from one of the waitresses... Tonia... and she did NOT disappoint. Got her letter this week. Thanks!!!Was it worth the hype and the drive? Yes, ma'am!

This place was too fun and too tasty not to give it a four-star review. However, our waiter, "Jeff," was a real downer. But back to the food.. the calamari was done perfectly and we shared the Tuscan bean soup, which was as good as what we enjoyed in Tuscany! We also enjoyed the large salad. Husband had the chicken piccata and I had the Penne Lea - both were very satisfying. We also definitely enjoyed the Bulleit Manhattan!!!

My husband and I came on our anniversary and it's the perfect spot for an intimate dinner for two! The view was great and service was fantastic as well! The pasta dish I got was really yummy & the salmon was cooked perfectly! The catfish platter was a bit heavy, but still good.

Caproni's has always been a favorite hidden gem that my husband and I and colleagues and I visit anytime we are in the area. The food has always been spectacular and the service good. This last time we were there the food was very disappointing, our waiter was hustling to serve all the tables, four busboys were standing around doing nothing. I think one of the challenges is the large parties that are hosted in the back room take away from the diners in the main dining area. if possible, it would be good to have one cooking line just for the banquets and another for the diners in the main dining room. The entryway had been remodeled, and I asked the receptionist what had changed, and her attitude was the heck of I know. that's at the stage for the night. We were totally disappointing after so many fabulous meals at Caproni's.

This is an upscale place for Maysville, so this review is keeping that in mind. Crabcake and fried tomatoes came with the same sauce. Sweet and sour. Not a good combo. The tomatoes were good by themselves. Crabcake was decent. I had the delmonico ribeye. Great steak. The asparagus should not be considered a side dish though. They were wrapped fashionably in bacon, but it was a tiny portion. The garlic mashed were a lil thick but tasted good. She had the special Cajun steak pasta. It looked good and she liked it. Great view of the river and white table cloth (not applied correctly but effort deserves kudos). The staff looked sharply dressed. The place was very clean. I didn't make it to the bathroom to check cleanliness. That's my barometer to how clean the kitchen might be. Overall good. Especially for Maysville.

Awesome service and food! Everything was very fresh and clean. The view of the river is gorgeous.
