“ I recommend the lasagna. Their salads and spaghetti and garlic butter sauce is good too. The service is good too. Beware when dining at their upstairs section because the steps are narrow so holding on to the rails is a good idea. ”

“ Are you in the mood for some pizza, maybe some spaghetti? Well, you're in luck as you've found just the right place! Capparellis is an old-school Italian restaurant with generous portions and modest prices. Street parking is available in front, or around the corner depending on how busy it is. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and was seated at a table in the back. The retro interior conveys a sense of respectability and class. My server came to table and handed me a menu. They offer a plethora of classic Italian fare, such as soups, salads, seafood, chicken, spaghetti, and and expansive wine list. I wound up getting a plate of spaghetti with marinara sauce with added mushrooms! A basket of bread was brought out as well as a basic salad (iceberg lettuce, onions, tomatoes). The salad was decent, but iceberg lettuce is one of my pet peeves, so I didn't finish it. The bread however was warm and toasty! My entree arrived in a generous portion and didn't take very long, perhaps 15 minutes or so. The sauce was smooth, well seasoned, and neither too salty nor oily. The mushrooms appeared to be fresh, and blended well in the sauce. Overall, I was satisfied with my dining experience here and would definitely return. ”

“ Great spot! Gay, the owner, is a gem. She prepared the food for a dear friend's memorial service and our crew enjoyed it so much, we decided to host our Christmas Party at her restaurant. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a small Italian shop that's not a chain. The food was impeccable. Our server did a great job - all on his own for a group of 30! I felt bad, he could have used an extra hand or two, but he did the best he could. ”

“ Great service and food! Fried ravioli was amazing. Salad and dressing were great and garlic bread delicious. We all enjoyed our entrees as well! ”

“ So good! I had the grilled chicken salad and it was very tasty! Just the right amount of cheese. Very comfortable place. I will be back. ”

“ 3.5 Stars, but Yelp does not like partial stars. Would like to motivate them to either reduce their prices a little, but best would be to improve the consistency on the food served and overall execution of the dishes. Service is splendid. Seating upstairs is a nice change. Ambiance is family orientated, with their family photos hanging on the walls, a festive Christmas Tree even in the summer next to homely cupboards. Almost like your relatives who were too lazy to take down the tree this year! The food is mixed. Depends on what you get. Their meatballs are phenomenal. The pizza is delicious. Thin, large. Served hot. But have to be honest, it is a little overly reliant on cheese overload. Yes, some say that there can never be too much cheese- this reviewer might be one of these individuals- yet, it should also be understood that others may disagree for health or taste reasons- and an excellent establishment would not have any ingredient overpower all other flavors and would likely offer the option for extra cheese rather than a standard, as reflected in the price. Maybe could use a little more generosity on the toppings, as well as freshness instead. Pasta was good, but not great for the price; bread is decent, with some dryer overbaked pieces. Some dishes inconsistent from different visits. Soup was lacking flavor, pasta was overly reliant on the sauce drenching out the other individual nuances in the meat and vegetables. Overall, the prices are a tad higher than the food dictates. Worth it for the welcoming experience? Possibly. Would recommend trying it at least once to make your own decision, since this is definitely a stroke in this city. The C alparelli Family has been around a long time, with extended family opening other locations using the same name, but- yes, including moved locations- this is the original. ”

“ A good go-to for house made pasta and nice service. Love the veggies in the primavera sauces. Dinner salads are very good sized with delicious house made italian dressing. And the garlic bread! ”

“ 20 Jul 2024 I wasn't there today, but my husband went solo and brought me a slice of Italian wedding cake. He had spaghetti and meatballs, his fav. Anyway, the cake is sooooo good! I'm really enjoying it. As an aside, I am also a member of the SA Restaurant group on FB. Lately, folks have been going on and on about how the location on Main had closed. NO! I finally posted to tell them they are wrong. Main is alive and well. Last count 155+ people are now informed. Go there. ”

“ After a weird experience with our first server, we ended up getting a different server who was so much better and attentive. The tomato and cheese bread were amazing and the homemade Italian wedding soup was great! I liked the ambiance and the intimate feel of the restaurant. ”
