Capri Ristorante

Words CHUTINANTA BOONYAMARN

Serving thin-crust pizzas and other Italian favourites at K Village Shopping Mall, Sukhumvit 26

INSPIRED by the laid-back, contemporary eateries typical to Capri, a small island in Italy’s Gulf of Naples, Capri Ristorante embodies its moniker by serving up the kind of simple, rustic dishes for which the island is famed. Think pizza, pasta, salad, and generous servings of meat and seafood – all made using good quality ingredients and served in a setting that strikes the perfect balance between homely and modern.
    
To ensure authenticity, the restaurant’s owners imported a wood-fired pizza oven from Italy, and the pies cooked within are made with fine flours also sourced from the boot-shaped land. The thin-crust offerings range from Margherita and Napoli to Serrano Ham and Mushroom, and they arrive at the table piping hot and generously loaded with premium toppings.

The same care is taken with the a la carte menu, which kicks off with items perfect for sharing, such as the Mixed Appetizer Platter (featuring calamari, Italian sausage, Serrano ham on melon, and gratinated New Zealand mussels. B490++), and then traverses land and sea with highlights like Grilled Australian ribeye steak (B750++), Crab Caesar salad (B320++), and Pan seared snow fish topped with salmon roe (B650++). Soups, salads, pastas, and risottos round out the savoury offerings, and there are some tasty desserts too – our favourite being the signature Chocolate lava cake, whose crispy exterior gives way to a viscous, warm dark chocolate filling tempered by a serving of vanilla ice cream (B190++).

As you’d expect from any Italian restaurant worth its salt, Capri offers a decent selection of international wines, classic cocktails, and Italian coffees. A buy-one-get-one-free deal is offered daily on local and imported beers.  
    
Visit during lunchtime and you can take advantage of one of the tempting lunch sets, including a two-course menu (including an appetizer and main course) starting at just B199++, or three-courses starting at B249++.
