flora's italian cafe

What a welcome addition to the HHI restaurant scene! Wonderful family-style dining serving excellent traditional Italian cuisine. Service is friendly and professional. Owners are beyond gracious. Recommend the baked clams, shrimp basilica, gnocchi Romano, lasagna (alternate Saturdays), cannoli dip, tiramisu- etc!

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When I raised concerns about the service, the owner told me the person being rude was his wife and, quote, “if you don’t like it, leave.” I have never encountered such unprofessional behavior from business owners/management. I would strongly caution others against dining here, as there are many other restaurants that treat their guests with respect and appreciation.

My husband and were celebrating our 30th anniversary and we decided to go to coastal capri restaurant. It was by far a great dining experience. The food was truly authentic Italian food. It was like being in Italy. The chef and his wife were amazing, not to mention our server Alisa was incredible!! It was like eating at nonnas home.Please, don't leave hilton head without trying this amazing restaurant. We plan to visit it again this restaurant before leaving to go back home.

My visit was overshadowed by the unpleasant behavior of the owners. Instead of creating a welcoming and friendly environment, they came across as dismissive and rude. Their tone and body language made me and my party feel more like an inconvenience than valued guests.
Food or a nice setting can’t make up for the way customers are treated, and it was disappointing to see such a lack of basic courtesy from those who should be setting the standard. A business thrives on hospitality and respect, and unfortunately, that was completely missing here.
I left with the strong impression that customer care is not a priority for the owners, and for that reason, I would not recommend this establishment.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. While the atmosphere initially seemed promising, the treatment from the owners created an unwelcoming and uncomfortable environment. From the moment we arrived, their demeanor was noticeably cold and dismissive, making it clear that hospitality was not a priority.
What should have been a pleasant outing quickly turned into an unpleasant experience due to their rudeness and lack of professionalism. As someone who values good service and a welcoming environment, I was surprised and disheartened to be treated in such a way.
There are plenty of establishments that truly appreciate their customers and create an atmosphere where people feel valued… unfortunately, this is not one of them. I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking a positive and respectful experience.

Best meal we had on vacation! My family and I dined here on our annual family vacation to the island and I must say the dining experience was exquisite! Marcus was our server and his service was impeccable! We met the owner John and he was super personable as well! The portions are plentiful and the sauces were to die for! Food was all fresh and so tasty! The rigatoni vodka, eggplant parmigiana, chicken parmigiana and my seafood dish were all fresh and absolutely delicious! Even the bread with the sauce they provide on the table is delicious! The service and food are the best! If you live on HH or are visiting, Coastal Capri must be on your restaurant to do list! You won't regret it and you can thank me later!
