Capuano Ristorante Italiano

This is a wonderful neighborhood Italian restaurant. They have 2 entrances — one which leads you into a pizza parlor and the other into a very pleasant dining room. The food is very good and the staff very accommodating. Ten of us went in Sunday night with no reservation. We were promptly seated and served. We asked for and they gave us separate checks without blinking an eyelash (we did tell them to add a 20% tip to each check). A very pleasant experience. I recommend highly (particularly if you have a group). BYOB and very fair prices

Best Italian in the area. The restaurant is split between a casual take-​out area and a nicer sit-​down area, so it’s great for when you’re either in a rush or want to sit down and enjoy your meal. The garlic knots they bring to the table are so good and I have to hold myself back from asking for more! Portions are also very big — I recommend the veal or eggplant Parmesan.

I used to work down the street from here and they have amazing pizza slices and delicious
vodka pasta.

They have the best pizza in the area, I haven’t tried there other food though, but I’m sure it’s all good.

Love Capuano’s!!! The eggplant parm is the best, calzones and heros also so good! Our go to place for Italian; take out or eat in; great family restaurant!

This is by far the worst Italian restaurant I’ve had. I ordered a lasagna and a slice of margarita pizza for takeout, and had my husband to go pick them up.
Service was terrible when I called to order, I had to call 5 times, first time they hung up on me because I was asking too many questions, the other times they just put me on hold forever.
When my husband went to pick up the food, the bill suddenly went up, it’s not the same price as I saw on their online menu. It was $ 10.59 for the lasagna on their online menu, but they charged $ 15 because it was dinner time. Then they wrapped some random pizza which definitely was not the margarita pizza (see photos). The food was cold and disgusting, it wasn’t even real meat in the lasagna, it was some kind of canned fake meat sauce. The soup (which was included) was also from a can.
Never ever order from the place again.

Very disappointed with my pizza tonight. They told me my order would be ready in 20 minuets and it took an hour. It was obviously rushed and poorly handled. Pizza was all folded over, par-​baked. Dripping oily tomato sauce from the cardboard. I wouldn’t come back to this place.

BounceU in West Windsor serves their pizza for their birthday parties. If I weren’t in a rush, I would have gone there right after to have some more for the ride home! I will definitely be back to get a pie… the pizza was DELICIOUS! Don’t change a thing.

Absolutely Love this place. You always get a great meal. Nice atmosphere, never rush you. Had a pasta dish with artichokes, veal, tom, the veal was so tender u didn’t need a knife.

WOW!!! The food was delicious & the service was efficient — and with a smile! I actually had them deliver food to my room at Hyatt Regency. I arrived for Princeton Reunions & was EXHAUSTED! I discovered them on Unilocal & the pictures, descriptions, and reviews looked great. They obviously take great PRIDE in their business. In fact, I recognized one of the owners from the website when he brought the yummy food: Linguine Femina & pizza with onions. The garlic cheesebread was also excellent! The food was very warm in temperature! I’ll definitely eat there again! :)

Nobody has mentioned the crab cakes!!! Huh??? Don’t like their regular orangy, acidic, slightly sour regular red sauce at all, the marinara is good, but the crab cakes are way above anything outside of Maryland that I have had. What a treat. They are not always listed on the menu, though they should be. Asking for crab cakes when they are not on the menu has never been a problem. Prepare to be amazed, they are made perfectly, with lump crabmenat and very little filler. You won’t be disappointed.

Great Italian American food at a reasonable price. The food quality (and quantity) are great, and the service is fast and attentive. I love their eggplant, their vodka rigatoni, their garlic bread (they bring so much), and their soups and salads are excellent. Their seafood and crab cakes never disappoint. As for dessert, I ordered mascarpone cheesecake once as well– so good.

Great sauce. They have a casual seating area in the front and a more upscale dining area in the rear. They have the absolute best broccoli rabe, garlic and sausage over pasta or sub. It’s not uncommon to find locals with families having a casual dinner in the evenings. It’s a nice place to go and have a meal on cold blustery nights/​days. The staff are friendly.

They have the best cannolis in the area — great hard shells! Tortellini Diana, Antipasto Italiano, Rigatoni Vodka & Calzones are my go-​to orders here!

Pretty good. It’s not haute Italian, and definitely not the best in Jersey, but my meal was pretty good. Service is very nice. I’d like to see a smaller menu and an entrée without pasta, but I really have no major complaints.
I had sausage, broccoli rabe, and pasta in a light sauce. It was really good — pasta was a little over cooked though. I’d recommend that dish.

Was a bit hesitant when we arrived after finding this place on Unilocal.The décor and food didn’t look super appealing but we were hungry and ordered anyways. I’m glad we did though, because everything was amazing! We had chicken parmesan and two slices of pizza and it was exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend this hidden Italian beauty to anyone looking for a quick meal!

This place is probably one of the best for pizza in WWP. Though compared to NY style thin crust pizza I’d say it still is lacking.
This place has outdoor and indoor seating. They mainly serve pizza but have other things too such as pastas, and calzones etc.
I’ve had the mushroom pizza here and the vodka rigatoni pizza and I’d say both are pretty good and satisfying.
I can’t really say anything outstanding about this place but nothing bad either. Out of all the places for pizza in the town of West Windsor Plainsboro though I’d definitely come here to satisfy my pizza craving.

Without a doubt, this Capuano is the best pizza in the area. Aljon’s is solid but sometimes they use too much cheese. And Brothers is very good but sometimes the crust is too much.
Capuano hits just the right balance – thin crust, great sauce-​to-​cheese ratio. Very fast delivery.
Let me touch on a few things these haters have said. It’s barely worth dignifying Edward R.‘s review – even if you don’t like this place only an idiot would give it one star. And anyone who thinks Dominos is even in the same equation as a local NJ pizza establishment must not have grown up here.
I get CD.‘s point about it being kind of a bummer that the place is BYOB, but it’s like the many pizza joints in NJ – pretty bare bones when you get inside. I actually think it’s much nicer than many of the other places in the same category. And the service – well it is what it is.
I also agree with CD that sometimes their subs can get a little messy. Their pasta, pizza, apps – all killer. The sandwiches sometimes get a little crazy though. For example, the eggplant parm entrée is out of this world – but once you get it in a sandwich form it kind of can be a mess.
Maybe five stars is generous, but I think four stars doesn’t really express how very good this place is. Check it out for yourself – you can always just get a slice to go…

Don’t bother… this location exists solely to cater to the residents of the rental complex across the street and apparently they have very low standards in pizza and red sauce joints.
Expensive thin crust pizza with bitter sauce, scant cheese that looks like it has been sitting out under the heat lamps for most of the day served in a tiny, cluttered dining room sporting your grandmother’s dusty bedroom curtains.
Skip it and order in Domino’s

Came with group. Wasn’t told it was byob when I made the reservation, but someone from our group was able to run out nearby to get vino.
Apps:
Portobello and mozzarella apps were solid. Fried calamari nothing to write home about.
Entrees:
Salmon was nicely cooked. Presented on angel hair with a not too exciting, but passable caper sauce. Ravioli was flavorful with good sauce.
Service:
With a group and reservation, would have hoped for better service. Waiter was scarce, not even to refill waters. Begged for refills twice. Room was ungodly warm and requested air to be turned down, but no response or acknowledgement.
