Capparelli's On Main

My wife and I were so impressed with this place. It was amazing service thanks to Abel he was on top of everything. He would bring us our drinks without us having to ask, he would check in on us at the perfect time ( what I mean by that is he would look at us before walking over to make sure he wasn’t interrupting a important conversation) he was just amazing all the way around. The food was so good that we ate all of our appetizer and meals (chefs kiss). Overall this atmosphere was very intimate and comfortable. Truly amazing through and through. We will definitely be back and we will ask for Abel again!!! Thanks Caparelli’s for that amazing experience!!!

My wife and I haven't been in so many years, but we have returned 🙃 we would usually come during the early evening before closing. Like everything else that has changed, the food we remember was a little more just..tastier. Of course, people change, tastes change and of course cooks change. However, the greeting at the door, the servers with their hospitality felt darn near the same as we remember! Still looking to go back and try more of the menu for old times sake. Good to know it's still around and we'll see you guys again soon. Now... who's hungry? ❤️

A great small business just north of downtown San Antonio. Gay Caparelli owns this location and her family has been in the restaurant business for three generations. This restaurant is more upscale and has a much wider variety on the menu than the other Caparelli restaurants in San Antonio. Lots of great seafood options here. The hardest part is choosing just one entree. Suggest reservations for busy nights like Friday and Saturday. With the wife and sister in law in tow we arrived and were promptly seated at a table marked reserved. Best seat in the house in the back corner with a view of entire restaurant. They have a very extensive wine list and tonight we enjoyed a Giesen Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Salad first. Both the house and Caesar salads are excellent. They also have excellent garlic bread they bring out. For my entree I chose the Chicken basil pesto cream sauce with farfalle pasta. The chicken was tender and moist and pasta perfectly cooked. The portions are very large and we took home a lot of leftovers. My wife enjoyed the veal picatta. Very tender. Unfortunately they will be taking it off the menu due to inflation soon. Look at those fabulous, fresh sauteed vegetables. enough for a meal by themselves. My sister in law had the chicken picatta and was impressed. Very tender and juicy. She commented so many other restaurants serve dry chicken. Much love to Gay and her team. Serving great food with great service.

I recently dined at Capparelli's Italian Restaurant, and unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience. First, my drink order was incorrect, and I received a different drink than what I had requested. This was quite disappointing as it showed a lack of attention to detail and care for the customers' preferences. Second, The main dish I ordered was the chicken parmesan sandwich, The chicken in the sandwich was dry and lacked the juiciness and tenderness that I would expect from a well-prepared chicken parmesan. It was not the enjoyable and flavorful sandwich I had hoped for. Furthermore, the red sauce that accompanied the sandwich was surprisingly flavorless. It lacked the rich and robust taste that I associate with Italian cuisine. It felt like the sauce was missing some key ingredients or seasoning, as it failed to enhance the overall flavor of the sandwich. Lastly, the waiter mistakenly delivered a separate to-go order for the Chicken Alfredo to another table. This mix-up further added to the overall negative experience. Despite these shortcomings, I must acknowledge that the ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant. The decor was warm and inviting, creating a cozy atmosphere. The staff, apart from the waiter's mistakes, seemed friendly and attentive, trying their best to accommodate the customers. P.S. I tried the Chicken Alfredo and the noodles were good but again the sauce was lacking flavor and had what seemed like a lot of oil (not butter).

"I love this restaurant. Food and service are always great. It's a hidden gem!" I wrote that six years ago and realized I did not do Capparelli's On Main justice. Capparelli's is an elegant, classy, but at the same time a neighborhood restaurant. I've seen couples dressed up for an evening out and seen customers in shorts with their dogs eating on the patio. The portions are large and everything is delicious. Are you someone that doesn't know how to pair a wine with your meal? Ask your server they will help you out with a great choice.
