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.
My lasagna was very good except for the noodles they were more on the hard side and I don't mean Al dente harder than that.
I brought some home because I'm not able to eat a whole lasagna but once I put in the microwave it got softer
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? ❤️
