Absolutely the cutest little authentic Italian restaurant. We ordered a variety of pastas and sandwiches for our party of 8, all were perfect. Everyone working seemed happy and invested in our enjoyment of our meal.

Everything was fantastic! For a small little Italian shop this absolutely filled our need for some good pasta. The customer service was fabulous and every person working there was just so sweet. Thank you for a great experience!

We were so lucky to have stumbled upon this gem. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was stellar! The dining area is small but the atmosphere is still inviting. Prices were surprisingly low considering the quality or the food. I’m pretty sure our waiter was the owner- he was friendly and attentive and really brought the whole experience together. Will certainly go there the next time we’re in town! I highly recommend this place for authentic Italian cuisine and a lovely evening.

Such an adorable and cozy place with reasonably priced Italian dishes! The taste was also decent. Highly recommend for a couple or friends less than 4 people to visit.

I had a high hopes for the store. I really thought they would provide superior Italian food and subs. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and the meatball I switch with my friend. She has half meatball half chicken palm and I do as well. The bread was just OK for the roll. Nothing special, the chicken palm was OK but not next level. It was actually average at best not as good as big daddies or rock city not even close now to the meatball sub. It was terrible edible the meatballs had a really funny taste. I don't know if it was a one time thing I can't believe they would make meatballs the tasting like thatBut neither myself and my friend eat the meatball sub. She tossed hers in the trash, followed by mine. The store looks great inside like an old Italian shop and maybe subs aren't their specialty and I should try the pasta but after this example of below mediocre food I'm disinclined to try it again.

Do not order from here if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies. I placed an order for a sandwich and noted just in case that I have a tomato allergy. I was pretty taken aback when I received a phone call from the manager shortly after placing my order. He left me a message berating me for noting an allergy and told me to "never order during lunch rush again". I guess my one-ingredient allergy was too much of an imposition for them to accommodate. On top of that, when my sandwich did finally arrive, it was just a piece of very mediocre bread with prosciutto on it. Nothing else. When I called the restaurant to ask why there was no mozzarella or roasted red peppers on the sandwich, they said they decided to exclude the peppers because they look like tomatoes. LOL what? It's a totally different food, and still doesn't explain the lack of other listed ingredients. Literally shocked they felt it was appropriate to charge me $15 and then not even make me an actual sandwich as requested, let alone the horrific service practice of calling a customer to tell them when they can or cannot order lunch? Insane. Will not be ordering from here ever again.

I don’t understand how come this place has 4.6 star rating, we ordered calamari, – returned because they were cooked in a very old oil, ordered caprese salad,- I don’t understand how come this place has 4.6 star rating, we ordered calamari, – returned because they were cooked in a very old oil, ordered Capri salad. Just terrible, the cheapest tomatoes, almost no basil, tasteless, ordered Panini botega de capri-Tasteless , ate half of it, My stomach is upset, my mother had homemade meatball, pasta c – the lowest quality I have had, everything taste like diet food, no salt, no pepper, no seasoning, terrible and worse experience, shame on you Servicing this kind of food in Brookline The atmosphere is very poor, but when they are because of high rating, was hoping to have great real Italian food, the worst experience, will never come back, don’t recommend to eat there at allthe Capri

Such good authentic italian deli/dinner food! You can't go wrong with any of the pasta and seafood entrées. I have been here many times and its on the same level as anywhere in the north end but for a reasonable price! I recommend to anyone in the area. It's small inside, so might be hard to get a seat on a busy weekend. Try the lobster ravioli or pesto alfredo!!

Delicious and affordable pasta. Many pasta options and the choice the make your own. The restaurant itself had limited seating, but was cozy. Make a reservation just to be safe.

Such a cute little spot with great pasta. My friend and I went for lunch on a friday afternoon and seating was available. It's a small space with about 5-7 tables. We were greeted promptly and told to take menus and pick a seat. It's a casual place and prices are good. Many pasta options and the ability to "build your own." I got one of their cream based sauces and the plate of pasta I received was huge but I ate the entire thing. They have water, some sanpellegrino, and not much else for drinks but really a cute fast casual pasta place which is exactly what I crave often.

Bottega di Capri is a rare gem, a yellow sapphire perhaps. It's a European style bistro in a charming setting with very good to excellent food, reasonably priced, served by conscientious, nice, lovely people. I drive over from either Jamaica Plain or West Roxbury every week at least once.
