    Second time dining at Bocca. Had great service and a great dinner date. We sat at the bar and a friendly and skilled bartender provided great suggestions for drinks and entrees. We had lasagna (2nd time) and gamberi limon verde and shared a farro salad. All was excellent.

    Capri is our GoTo place for Italian food in Indianapolis. There a a lot of good Italian restaurants in town, but Capri is at the top of my list. Went there last night for a birthday dinner on a busy Thursday night 1 week before Christmas. The restaurant was packed with people many tables were occupied by 6 or more guests. Only had a short wait on our reservation, and the hostess seated us in a quiet corner table for 2, which was just perfect. Our favorite waiter was off this night, but a newer waiter, who had been trained by him took good care of us. Starters were great as we were really hungry and came out quickly. The calamari was tender and flavorful and enough for 2 people if you wanted to share (I didn't). Dinner rolls right out of the oven helped our hunger until the main courses arrived. I love their pasta because if is made fresh by them. I had the traditional linguine with clams in a light white sauce that was just thrown right size to complete the whole bowl. My wife had chicken lasagne, which was also delicious and enough to take home ½ of the portion. Desserts of bread pudding and cheese cake topped off the evening. We never felt rushed even though it was a busy evening and tables were turning over frequently. Be sure to use OpenTable to make your reservation and you will not be disappointed.

    Food was delicious. We were going to a play and our server made sure we got our food and bill in a timely manner. He was great! I want to go back soon and have the Rigatoni Medici again.
