Capparellis Italian Food & Pizza On Southcross

Ate here a week or so ago. We were bike riding and stopped in to try it. I had the spicy chicken Alfredo and my fiancé had a salad. Garlic bread was very good and a generous size. Food was great and we were very pleased with out service. We will definitely be back to this location.

My favorite pizza joint gone to hell… they messed up my order and refused to fix the order… they admitted fault but did not resolve it. Those who know me know this is not how I operate. 4 of us ate one slice and half way said «hey where’s the pepperoni».

We went after friends had told us about it. I was surprised at how many people were coming in on a Tuesday night. I figured that meant it’s popular, which is good! We had cheese bread, which I thought was pretty good, but my hubby said it was just ok. I wanted to get lasagne, but changed my mind and got pizza instead. It wasn’t bad. I think we just got very spoiled living in South Florida with a large population of New Yorkers and eating that pizza. :) I think overall, this place is good and we will be back. The staff is good and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing.

There are several Capparelli’s family restaurants in and around San Antonio. This location has been my favorite for many years now. I almost always make it in before 2pm, while the lunch specials are still being offered. If you like just plain pasta and love a big, juicy meatball, this is the place for you!
The menus I posted here a while back are still accurate and list both the regular and lunch fare. Can’t go wrong with the spaghetti and the Ravioli is delicious too. The bread you get with all the bowled entrees is just perfect — a half toasted loaf spread well with garlic butter. The pizzas for lunch are great too, and a good value. Live a little and try one with anchovies, they’re always tasty! You’ll get a surprisingly good salad with your order, the house Italian oil/​vinegar is delicious — they quit putting it on the table because too many walked off with it, but it’s for sale if you ask.
The service, whether based at the counter for lunch or table for dinner, is first-​rate. There’s always someone here who’s been here for years and regulars are greeted. No one gets forgotten at this place, never had bad service.
Sure, it’s not Paesano’s but neither are the prices. I should venture in more for the wider offerings but it’s just hard to resist those huge meatballs. Puts Chris Columbus Soc. dinner to shame, believe me!!!

Me and my daughter go often to the Pecan Valley location we absolutely love it. I get the chicken parm or grilled chicken Cesar salad. enough food for two! Even if I get it to go its very generous. and delicious. she loves the chicken parmesan sandwich. and they have a wonderful beer salt. if you ask to get you’re beer dressed its awesome… the staff are so nice. they care about the customers. cant wait for my next meal there again…

Just delicious! Love the atmosphere and the service is EXCELLENT at the Southcross location. Will be back!

The food here is great! One of my favorite Italian food restaurants in town. At this location they have a spicy chicken alfredo dish, I order it every time! I would chose Capparelli’s over Johnny Carino’s any day!

Capparelli’s is a hidden gem located on Pecan Valley Drive in San Antonio. I eat the Grilled chicken salad all the time but they have other dishes that are delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant recently underwent a face lift and looks better than ever. If you would like to come during lunch hour be prepared to wait since it gets very busy during that time. You may want to come around 11:45 a.m. to beat the crowed.

My mother and girlfriend were craving Italian food. While they were deciding between Olive Garden or some other lame chain, I decided to consult the Unilocal Oracle for some guidance in the culinary wasteland of Southside San Antonio. Once again the Oracle led me to a great eatery. This time it was Caparrelli’s Pizza.
From the instant we entered, we felt welcome. The waitstaff were kind and engaging. My girlfriend, who has a degree in interior design, found the décor charming and delightful. But the real treat was when the food came out.
I had the Nana’s trio; ravioli, chicken parmesean, and lasagna. All three were delicious, but I especially loved the lasagna. My mother had the fettuccine alfredo and was thankful that she only ordered a half portion. The servings are very generous here. My girlfriend ordered shrimp alfredo with crab meat. She had to reluctantly stop eating because she did not get the half portion. However, she made sure to take the rest home.
Before I close I need to add that their in house vinaigrette dressing is to die for. You can purchase a bottle for 5 dollars at the counter.
All in all, the dining experience here was wonderful, and I will be sure to visit again. I hope you will too.

By far my favorite Italian restaurant. Everything is has a great homemade taste. My favorite is the sauce they use doesn’t compete with any other place. Totally recommended this place!!!

First time here, it was pretty good for lunch. I got the manicotti with a «meatball.» I wasn’t sure if I heard our server correctly but I’m pretty sure she said do you want meat sauce or a meatball. The meatball was great, it was juicy and thoroughly cooked. The sauce wasn’t too bad, I prefer a little more zest but hey we all have different opinions of sauce. For under $ 10 maybe even less, I got a drink, salad and a good portion of food. Since, italian food tends to put me in a carb coma I think I will stick to eating here just for lunch. I couldn’t imagine scarfing down a dinner portion.

Came for lunch and had grilled chicken salad. The chicken did not really seem grilled. It would have really changed the entire salad. Lacked seasoning. Had to rely on the pepper. My issue is that the lunch special should have included the cost of the drink.

Food is very good and very fast. Great place for lunch time rush. Staff is also very friendly.

Went back this past Saturday — — with a friend and give it a try… see if there is improvement. They continue to disappoint. I ordered the Italian Sub which was awesome in regard to the bread, fresh, crispy but the interior of the sandwich was once again tasteless. No pizzazz… light on meat, heavy on lettuce and all sealed up in melted mozzarrella. Very little spice of any kind. I guess I will stick to their pizza. Service is attentive and «bubbly» so kudos for that. If you want Capparelli’s Italian — go to their Main Street location — — these two restaurants are totally different.

OMG The pizza, music, and service was out of this world. Will continue to go back. Woohoo… it is as good as it gets. Highly recommend.

Service was great. Good friendly wait staff. The food was great. Chicken & the sauce was amazing!

A go to spot for me and the coworkers. I love the Tomato Bread with their house dressing. It is super yummy. Never had anything there that we didn’t like. It can be kind of pricey but it is good.

Very homey italian feel… prices were a bit high for run of the mill italian food in my opinion. My husband had a pepperoni sub with a side salad, I had the eggplant paresan (if you know me, this shouldnt surprise you, I have a thing for eggplant), mine came with a side salad, my plate was $ 10.95…it wasnt amazing. My three kids shared a 12 inch pizza. Our bill was $ 46.00,which I felt was high, BUT we had enough leftovers for another whole meal so 2 meals for 46 bucks isnt too bad! The service was awesome, we will go back for sure :)
