“Ravioli – It is originated as a traditional food in Italian cuisine and are commonly in square shape. At Capris, it is served in circular pasta sheets stuffed with nicely blanched spinach & ricotta cheese. Absolute divine and cheesy !”January 2021
“Vegetarian Pizza – The saying “a slice a day keeps the sadness away” is perfect when it comes to the thin crust pizza served at Capris. Usually we like to eat pizza when served hot, but the pizzas served here can be relished also when its been kept for a while. Infact, the flavours are more evident when u have it cold.”

Try mash. Order the cheese mashed potatoes if you want the dish returning diners describe as Capri’s standout.
Expect crisp pizza. Choose Capri for a crisp thin-crust pizza rather than a soft or deep-dish style.
Try vegetarian. Vegetarians can start with the special vegetarian pizza, which one review called genuinely distinctive.
Allow time. Leave extra time for the main course, as one diner found the dishes slow to arrive.
Outdoor seating. If you prefer sitting outside, cooler Dubai months were described as manageable for outdoor dining.
Check parking. Ask the restaurant about parking arrangements, as one review says parking fees are covered.

One family found the pink pasta excessively saucy, leaving the pasta and vegetables drowned in sauce.
A birthday-lunch review found the garlic bread very dry and without condiments.
One diner felt the main dishes were not served quickly.
A review said the portion size felt small relative to the price.
Some diners find the pizza and lasagna more Indian-inspired than traditionally Italian.
The Bottom Line
Capri Italian Grill is a long-established Italian restaurant in Trade Centre with a cosy, vintage dining room and a strong following among families who have been returning since the 1980s. It is a useful choice for a relaxed lunch, dinner, birthday or date-night meal, especially if pizza is the priority. The thin-crust pizza has a crisp base, and the menu’s most talked-about comfort dish is the cheese mashed potatoes.
Garlic cheesy bread, vegetarian pizza, bolognese lasagne and tiramisu also appear regularly in recommendations. Some reviews praise the pastas as much as the pizza, while others found particular dishes too salty, bland or heavily sauced, so execution may vary. Expect a distinctive Capri style rather than strictly traditional Italian cooking: one diner described the pizza as Indian-inspired, and another felt the lasagna was not a classic Bolognese version.
Service is usually described as friendly and attentive, though one visit involved slow dishes and a serious complaint that was not handled well. Portions have also been called small for the price. Reviews mention outdoor seating in cooler months and say parking fees were covered by the restaurant.
