I am referring to 28 Capri Italy situated in Defence Colony, which once used to be Little Italy. I had a chance to try the authentic Italian fare offered by them recently. I found its brand name similar to 38 Barracks, where the number hints to the location of the outlet.
The outlet is spread over a spacious two floors - second and third - former moderately lit while the latter has natural lighting and a well-designed balcony with provision for outdoor seating as well, with cages retaining fairy lights.
The Menu has a touch of Italy too, and why not, it being a restaurant that caters solely to Italian Cuisine, though going beyond just Pizza and Pasta. Each dish is also explained in a verbose two-liner for patrons to garner what they should expect when the dish arrives at the table.
Here's what would be some of the must-try dishes from an extensive variety elucidated in the Menu.
Soups:
Minestrone is a classic with veggies and pasta going into its making and was done just right.
Zuppa Di Pomodoro Basil, which translates to the classic tomato and basil broth, was served alongside a portion of garlic bread.
Meat Ball Soup had a creamy texture and herbs to complement the meat balls.
Appetizers:
Chicken Involtini was a Chef's Special with a cheese stuffed chicken skewered, garnished with bell peppers and served alongside French Fries.
Prawn Chraime was tangy and a bit spiced served with a portion of Cous Cous salad and fries.
Fungi Trifolati had sliced and sauteed button mushrooms served with Creme Di Fungi broth.
Pizza:
Half 'n' Half Pizza was the best of both worlds with Go Crazy Crazy (V) and Seafood (NV). It was prepared well and had ample, flavorful toppings.
Risotto:
Broccoli and Spinach Risotto was creamy and garnished with sliced baby tomatoes.
Main Course:
Cottage Cheese Medallions were grilled nicely and topped with an in-house tomato sauce garnished with olives and served with garlic bread.
Grilled Panko Crusted Pesce was prepared well, and had a Mushroom Risotto and lemon herb sauce on the side. Quite a burst of flavors there.
Desserts:
Tiramisu is the classic Italian 'Dolci' though the rum was a bit overpowering in its preparation.
Creme Caramel was the perfect conclusion as a stellar custard. This one can be praised with eyes closed.
On the whole, 28 Capri Italy comes across as a nice option to relish some fantastic Italian delicacies with family or friends. :)
