Capri Revisited
Eva and I revisited Ristorante Capri last Thursday, and were sad to see that the menu has been changed.
Gone are the lasagne and pollo diavola, my personal favourites!
I have to say, speaking from an entirely prejudiced perspective, my saltimbocca was no way near as enjoyable as pollo diavola.
Plus ca change!

Restaurant Capri
Restaurant Capri (Stockholm)
Eva and I dined at Capri, our favourite Italian restaurant in Stockholm the other evening.
One slight disappointment being that their signature dish "Pollo Diavola" is no longer on the menu.
I opted instead for a veal cutlet, which was excellent.
One word of caution, the English menu states that they serve T bone steak; this is in fact a mistranslation, the steak is entrecote.
That aside, we had an excellent evening.
It would be really good though if the "Pollo Diavola" were to make a comeback.

Restaurant
Capri
Nybrogatan 15
114 39 Stockholm
Sweden
Phone:- 08 662 3132

Overview
I found myself dining out in Stockholm with six charming Scandinavian ladies the other night. We went to the Capri, an Italian restaurant in central Stockholm; which is Stockholm’s oldest Italian restaurant.
Ambience
Capri is a large, bustling Italian restaurant. The interior design resembles a grotto hewn out of the inside of a cave. The walls are painted deep red, the tables are laid with check cloths and the atmosphere is cosy and intimate.
Menu
The menu offers an extensive array of pasta, meat, pizza and fish dishes.
House specialities are displayed on blackboards around the room.
Service
The staff are friendly and accommodating. Guests are offered a free pre dinner Campari, whilst perusing the menu.
In addition to a long, hot sliced loaf we were also given a large bowl of iceberg lettuce; which had been drizzled with olive oil, as an appetiser.
Food
I was the only one to have a starter. I chose the spinach lasagne. I have no hesitation in saying that this is one of the best lasagnes that I have ever had. It was creamy, succulent and flavoursome; absolutely unctuous. Don’t take my word for it though; my six dining companions, all of whom had a nibble, would also agree.
I chose the pollo diavola with sauté potatoes for my main course. This was a spicy “spatchcocked” poussin, cooked with chillies and tabasco. It was juicy and piquant, very enjoyable.
My companions had a variety of dishes, including; lamb cutlets, penne, grilled salmon and pizza quatro.
All professed themselves to be happy with the quality, taste and presentation of their dishes.
The meal, which included a bottle of Chianti, Pinot Grigio and numerous Irish coffees, came to 2100SEK including tip.
Overall Opinion
We all had a great time, and have marked this as a “must visit again” venue. Make sure you pay them a visit.
