Capri Italian Food 7325 W North Ave, River Forest Deli • $

Customers` Favorites

Cannoli

“This Capri sub is an absolute delight! The bread is crispy on the outside and soft inside—while the layers of Genoa salami, capicola, and mortadella deliver authentic, savory flavor. Fresh provolone, and a bright drizzle of house-made Italian vinaigrette tie everything together. Topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, this sandwich hits every note and leaves you craving more”

“Hello,

I’ve been coming to this McDonald’s for many years and the entire staff has always been quick, friendly, and professional. This is a very well-run store.

However, I want to highlight one employee in particular — Oscar. I see him often, and he truly stands out. Not only is he efficient and attentive, but he takes the time to greet customers like friends. He remembers people, makes conversation, and creates a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.

If he is not already in a management role, I believe he would make an excellent store manager. He represents the best of what customer service should be.”
