Villa Capri

My date nught spot with my husband.... So good I hope nobody else finds it. Food, Service, Atmosphere 100/10.

We have come to Villa Capri several times and we realize we had never given them a review. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in the Bay / Clear Lake area. It is such a romantic place, perfect to celebrate St. Valentine or invite your wife for dinner. Their seafood pasta is as spectacular as the view on the Clear Lake. Linnea was our waiter. She was very kind, polite, and charming.

Wonderful food, excellent server recommendations and exemplary service in a beautiful atmosphere. Will absolutely return.

If you are looking for a wedding Venue, look no further!! Got married here last summer and it was the MOST INCREDIBLE DAY!!! <3 Raffi and her staff were absolutely wonderful, understanding, patient and authentic. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS!!! The entirety of our wedding was as magical as it could be. 100000 out of 10 recommend!!! <3

Going to Villa Capri at the end of the week feels like returning to a place of comfort. The food is consistently top-notch, with some desserts made personally by the owner—it’s probably the most authentic tiramisu I’ve ever had. The staff are exceptional—warm, attentive, and they make you feel genuinely cared for, in that unmistakable traditional Italian way. If you’re far from home and craving something heartfelt and delicious, this is the spot.

Went on a date night, enjoyed their wine, food, and service. After paying, we took our wine down to the pier and enjoyed the water. Also almost got to pet a cat!

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant in Seabrook. Serving was big and its good for 2 person per meal. We ordered the antipasto and chicken romano served with angel hair pasta in which the waiter asked if I want it cut and serve in 2 plates. I was surprise that each plate were actually a full meal already. The owner was hands on and was so nice to check every table to make sure guests were taken care of. They have this serene and classy ambiance yet food was really affordable. Too bad we skip the dessert as me and my boyfriend were already full. Would surely go back and try their famous tiramisu.

Wow! My husband and I randomly dined in last night and this is just a gem!! We went for our wedding anniversary after we had a bad experience at another restaurant. The moment we walked in the staff looked overjoyed to see us, they said hello, welcome and it felt like family. Our server was personal and kind. We got into stories about our family and hers. We sat on the water. They made fantastic drink suggestions. They even suggested our meals and I had one leftover today and it was still amazing. They were honest when I asked about different dishes. They still make a majority of their recipes from scratch. We walked along the dock and they took our pictures. Beyond fantastic experience!! Bringing the entire family next time we dine out. Thank you for a true hospitality experience.

Their red sauce is something to write home about. I was going to order the snapper or something else but thought, I’d go with an Italian staple like chicken cacciatore. Absolutely, amazing. This is honestly, the best Italian I have had….ever. That sauce. Wow. I can’t wait to go back for snapper or muscles and other dishes. Lastly, out of no where I hear the most wonderful Italian song being sung by what I assume is the owner. How delightful.

Came here for a birthday brunch, was super cute and delicious! The garlic bread is absolutely AMAZING and my chicken caesar salad was also so freaking good. They hold events here which is also very cool, it’s beautiful inside and out with the water view

This Italian restaurant has the elegance, service and taste that anyone could expect from a local family owned business. The location has great views of Clear Lake Shores. We enjoyed a Sunset here for dinner. The lasagna was fantastic as well as the Veal. They have many choices of Veal which is hard to find in this area. Everything was delicious and our Server Tori was fantastic. She was very attentive and informative which contributed to our wonderful experience. Give this place a try. I'm sure it will be your favorite Italian spot moving forward... At least it is for us.

Beautiful and peaceful vibe. Food was delicious. All arrived hot! Escargot was the best I've had in a while! Ordered Lobster Ravioli and Veal Marsala. Both amazing!! Garlic bread had to order but was very soft and buttery! Loved it. Was able to see the lame from anywhere in the Room. We'll be back!

I had the pleasure of dining at Vila Capri recently, and I was blown away by the stunning ambiance! The moment I walked in, I was struck by the beautiful front water feature - a serene and elegant addition to the restaurant's exterior. The sound of gently flowing water set the tone for a relaxing and intimate dining experience. But what really impressed me was the food! The pasta dishes were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were rich and authentic. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Overall, I highly recommend Vila Capri for a romantic evening out or a special occasion. The combination of beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and exceptional service makes it a truly unforgettable experience! Pros: - Stunning front water feature - Delicious and authentic Italian cuisine - Exceptional service - Romantic and intimate ambiance Cons: None!

love this place, staff is great, food is delicious and the atmosphere is very nice and quiet. highly recommend ❤️

Had Villa Capri's food at a friend's wedding they catered. Finally had a chance to come back and try more of their wonderful dishes. Can't express enough words to describe the quality of care to their ingredients. Fresh, made daily, vibrant, etc. The marinara had a soft and great flavor. Pasta was cooked to perfection. And the Shrimp Champagne just had a flavor that was out of this world. Don't think there's a dish here you could go wrong with. Order to preferences or past Italian favorites. The view when you're seated was just spectacular. We had a wonderful night catching up and relaxing. The staff was always attentive and there was never a moment where we were lacking. What's your favorites? We will definitely be back for more. Until next time.

My son and I visited for my birthday. They are always consistent with amazing authentic Italian cuisine and are one of my personal favorites. It was a lovely surprise when a dessert cake was gifted to us for my birthday after our meal. It is the little things that make all the difference, isn't it? Thank you, Villa Capri

We had a very tasty Chicken Piccata and Chicken Romana. Very fresh salad bar. service was great. We enjoyed a window seat overlooking fantastic landscaping and the scenic water of Clear Lake. Very nice. We will certainly revisit.

We reserved a wedding here. This was an awesome atmosphere. Everybody who helped us was amazing. This wedding went so well. Without the people here working, I don’t think it would’ve went so smoothly. Everybody was happy. Everybody was smiling, went so amazing. The food served on our table was delicious! I cannot complain at all! Such good vibes! The bride and groom are happy, and forever will be!

We found this sweet owned gem for anniversary dinner. It did not disappoint 2 years ago. My son loves the nice staff who all seem to be nice to kids. He loves the view of the lake, the ravioli and tiramisu dessert. Our life became busy and we had not been in some time. We went to celebrate our son’s birthday in January. The food was better than I remembered, the service was wonderful as always. I ordered a glass of Pinto Nero house Malbec, it was so smooth. Our dishes were served hot and we all enjoyed our dinner. The menu has changed too. Dessert of course was my son’s fave, tiramisu. It’s made in house and always a treat. Looking forward to trying their Sunday brunch which I was told is more breakfast than lunch as it was before. If you haven’t been in a while, go check them out. My family enjoys supporting locally owned restaurants.

Absolutely delicious! The food was amazing, authentic Italian with big, generous portions. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. The atmosphere was lovely, and we sat outside overlooking the water, which was beautiful. Highly recommend this place!

Of all the restaurants that were open when I first moved to the Clear Lake area more than forty years ago, this is the only one that is still open. AND THERE’S A REASON FOR THAT. Not once have we ever been there when the congenial owner wasn’t there to welcome us back, and gladly acquiesce when asked to personally prepare our favorite dishes. And the impeccably maintained grounds are reminiscent of a fine Italian Manor, and far and away the best view on the lake. Why this place doesn’t have a long line at the door is a mystery, but we will continue to do our part to make it happen. A true gem!

Food was okay… not the best Italian cousin I’ve eaten in my life… but was okay taking into account it’s in USA, not Italy :)))

View is spectacular, food is decent, and service is prompt and friendly.

The place is very nice, the service is excellent but I think the food is not of very good quality for the wonderful place that it is.

The views were 10/10, especially for this area of Houston you won’t get too many restaurants on the water. Which makes sense for their prices. The food was decent nothing too crazy, I liked the salad bar that came with our meals. No complimentary bread but the garlic bread we ordered was very good. I got a pesto pasta, wasn’t too much a fan of the sausage but the sauce was good. Escargot was small and didn’t come with bread, so not too worth it. We did meet the owner who checked up on our table and was very sweet.

​Found a gem for Valentine's Day! 🥂 Villa Capri has stunning waterfront views at every table. On this day, the sunset was hidden by a storm, but the Seafood Lasagna and warm garlic bread were the real stars anyway. ⭐️ The salad bar (included with the meal) was a bit limited in variety. Huge thanks to Stacy for the amazing service and for taking our photos! 10/10 would recommend. #Foodie #DateNight

We attended their NYE party and it was a fantastic time as well as a great value. Their 4 course dinner was phenomenal. The lobster ravioli was my favorite. The view here is spectacular, over looking clear lake. We enjoyed walking the garden and dock. The service was amazing and they know how to throw a great party! We enjoyed their bar as well. Drinks were fantastic!

A beloved fixture for locals and a pleasant dining experience for any patron. The quality and value of the entrees is on par. This is a casual night out dining experience with a beautiful view overlooking the water. We will return soon with our whole family.

This place used to be phenomenal. The view is exquisite but the food had gone down hill. The salad bar had lettuce, dressing, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos at an italian restaurant(WHY?) and huge croutons, that's it! The salad bar used to be wonderful. I ordered the lobster ravioli with porchini mushrooms and received lobster ravioli with shrimp on top (I don't eat shrimp). It was Saturday at 1230 and there were only 2 other tables with 2 or 3 people dining. They need to market and advertise this hidden gem and work on the food. This place used to be 5 🌟

We have dined there 5 times in the last several months. The place is nice, clean and everyone is very nice. Good selection of food and deserts. But food on the buffet is cold. They need to keep food hot for the price. Until this is corrected we will not go back.

Beautiful views although I don’t drink this is one of those restaurants you should only come for drinks and dessert. Food sucked, the wait staff was okay. I wanted to sit outside because of the view but after it started getting dark they didn’t turn the lights on, they turned the lights on after we ask for the bill. Which I was kind of frustrating. We got the fettuccine Alfredo which I feel like is a salty dish ended up being sweet with almost no salt. The eggplant parm was 4/5. Garlic bread was 2/5. Way too high of a price for okay food. Again like I said go for drinks and go for dessert although I didn’t get dessert I don’t think a restaurant could mess up sweets, but who am I kidding they messed up the fettuccine so who knows

The food was great and the scene was beautiful BUT the wait staff was just not up to par. Not professional at all. We walked up and the hostess, a blonde girl, did see us and she decided to lift up her shirt to mess with her bellybutton ring before she even acknowledged us. We barely got any kind of greeting from anyone, we had no idea who our waiter was. A young man, I assumed he was the busser came and took our drink order but he didn’t say anything to us. Anyway, like I said the place was nice and great food but we won’t be back due to the lack of professionalism and effort

There was hair inside of cake. I told this to waiter and his reaction was like that hair is part of cake recipe. Place is nice but food is not recommended.

Was visiting the area from out of town. Made a reservation here for a birthday celebration. This place has a lot of potential, but our experience was not a good one. The food wasn't bad, I give it a B-. The restaurant itself was kind of run down looking, but the water view was nice. The service was poor. Our server I think was trying to be witty, but her sarcasm was borderline disrespectful. By the end of the meal we really just wanted to get out of there.

Went here for the 1st time. Had a blonde waitress that talked so soft you could barely hear her. Was told they were only serving the Sunday brunch buffet. Got there before noon and they opened at 11 but all the food on the buffet looked old and dried out and unappetizing. I was going to leave but the waitress said she talked to the owner and he will make an exception and let me order off the regular menu. I ended up ordering tortellini and a Coke with no ice. She brought the Coke with 95% ice but I didn't say anything even though I only had 1 sip and it was gone. I asked for another Coke and she brought me Diet Coke which I can't drink. Then, I asked if I could get a regular Coke, not Diet. She bought it along with my meal. The food was OK but I'm home now and I can't get the awful taste out of my mouth. They should give you mints with the bill because I now have a rancid taste. I hope I don't get sick from what I ate. Also, I was charged for TWO Cokes! When I asked the waitress about it, she told me that there are no free refills. It doesn't say that on the menu and she never informed me there were no refills. I eat at A LOT of restaurants and this is the 1st one that has ever charged for a refill! At least give the customer the chance to decide because $7.00 for 2 Cokes is insane considering the 1st one was all ice. The view of the water was the best part of this restaurant! I've had better food at Olive Garden. I will never come back to this restaurant again.

Our great restaurant luck ran out with this place. It was Sunday buffet and plates were dirty had to search through stack for cleanest one, lipstick still on cups. Food was inedible. Nursing home cafeteria food is better than this. Overcooked mush. The inside is like a 198O’s cafeteria. Has a great waterfront location and view. Our server was very sweet and did not seem surprised when we asked for check. Saw our full plates and would not let us pay. We still tipped her the full 20% amount as it is not her fault and deserves to be paid. Time to shut this one down and start over.

Called on Thursday to make reservations for Saturday. Gentleman was nice and accommodating. Had to call back on Friday to add people to the reservation because family showed up from out of town for the birthday we were trying to celebrate. Same gentleman was nice and accommodating. Had to call back Saturday to ask that our reservations be moved back one hour. Bad logistics on our part. SAME gentleman was again nice and accommodating. Showed up at the restaurant on Saturday evening and the hostess said I had NO reservation. After waiting for several minutes for her to confer with everybody in the half empty restaurant she finally offered to seat us outside. September. South East Texas. Hostess was both apologetic to a degree while also acting like I was trying to get one over on them by getting a table without a reservation. I walked out but wife wanted to stay because going somewhere else on a Saturday night with our large group would have been problematic. So we stayed. No manager ever attempted to make an apology. They just left it like we were in the wrong. Food was good to excellent (except snapper was slightly overcooked) and the location is great, but we won’t be back.

Horrible food. Rubbery Shrimp. The red fish tasted like tilapia or worse. Sauces were flavorless. It felt like being on one of those shows where they try to save an old restaurant except in the before part. The salad was decent.

This food was not mediocre like the other reviews claim. It was terrible. The chicken was rubbery and uncooked! The shrimp tasted old and the pasta has no flavor yet tasted terrible. The salad bar was lettuce,tomato and dressing. The place smelt old and wet. It looked so sad and the place look old! Waste of my time and I can’t get the taste out my mouth! Out of all of it the only thing that was decent was the water.

I mostly post good reviews but this was really not great. We ordered a second basket of garlic bread for $3.50 for our table. The waitress brought it out. We lifted up one piece and there was a dead large roach in between the slices. I don’t even know or want to know how that happened because it looked like someone had already smooshed it. It was hard to eat my $20 entree when it came out as that had left a bad taste in my mouth. Water views are nice. Service was very slow. Restaurant is very outdated.
