AnaCapri

A place where Italians feel at home - Un posto dove gli Italiani si sentono a casa.
Yesterday we went to a really nice Italian family restaurant in Marylebone. A friend of mine discovered this lovely place a couple of days ago and was absolutely delighted with it. It is not one of those super fancy Italian places where you spend a large sum of money for a simple plate of pasta, it's an authentic, cosy and welcoming restaurant. The service is very friendly and of course...Italian. While we had a look at the menu, they brought us fresh carrot and celery sticks, olives and toasted garlic bread. The menu offers everything the Italian heart desires. A big choice of antipasti, pasta, fish, risotto and meat. Everything is super keen, especially for the big size and good quality you get.



The food was perfectly cooked, the pasta al dente and super tasty. For dessert we had profiterole and Tiramisu, which was very, very delicious and homemade. Congratulazioni a Giovanni!
Well, I can only recommend that place. We will definitely go back...it's the perfect regular haunt! I'm already looking forward to our next enjoyable evening at AnaCapri.

Tutto era delizioso e ci vediamo presto!

We (me and my friends) went again to AnaCapri and again it was delizioso. We were sitting there until late, actually until they closed....talking with one of the owners about everything and anything. It's so authentic and you forget about being in busy busy London.
