From the atmosphere to the service this place does not disappoint… and then you have the best part, the food was absolutely delicious. Save room for deserts because this place has so many some of the best deserts I’ve ever eaten. 10/10 would recommend and will be back again in the near future.

OMG! What a fantastic Italian restaurant! My family frequents this spot on the regular. Everything there is fresh and absolutely delicious EVERY time! The staff is extremely friendly and even the chef comes out to your table to make sure you are enjoying his food. Hospitality is a dying culture in so many restaurants, but NOT this one! I would highly recommend dining here, you won't be disappointed.

If you want Italian cuisine in Leesburg, this is the place. While the decor is not fancy, the menu features a lot of variety at reasonable prices. Portions are generous. Food tastes good. Outdoor dining and takeout are available. Service was friendly.

Excellent experience. Jared, our server, was attentive and engaging. Talked dinosaurs with our sons. One whom was celebrating his 6th birthday. Meatball appetizer was really good. Huge portions of food. We will return. Patio seating available. It is right on the street so it can get a little loud.

Just awful. Not sure what has happened to the quality of Il Cappero's food, but we were very disappointed. Calamari was tough, as though it had been previously cooked and reheated in the microwave. Rigatoni Asade was essentially a bowl of pasta and sauce, with maybe a half dozen pieces of protein. Salmon was good, but overcooked. High prices, for sub-par food. This is not our first visit, but will definitely be our last!

Poor management. Waited for an hour after being told my food was ready. There where 4 other guests around me in the same situation. The hostess were nice but had no help with an ,rightfully, angry guest. I did see the chef hanging out at the bar in a suspiciously clean chefs coat. The was no management to speak of. No explanation or attempt made to recover from there fumble.

Service was good the waiter was polite. Though the food was terrible, my fiancé could not finish her fish of the day, before she had to excuse herself to the restroom. I had the lobster ravioli, and have been ill all evening as well. Ambiance is nice, the place seems clean, but incredibly over priced.

Visited this place earlier today. Our server was amazing, super friendly and welcoming. He gets 5 stars. However we did not enjoy the food. I had pasta with mussels, my partner - fettuccini Alfredo. Chances that pasta was homemade - very small. Always leave a benefit of a doubt though:) the sauce was too lemony, but that might have been subjective. 21 dollars for protein included could be considered reasonable. my partners pasta was, again, not homemade, no protein. Pasta with sauce for 18 dollars. Overpriced considering all said above. None of us finished our meals. We didn’t take it to go either. My partner does not feel well after his meal, so it’s one thing when you don’t feel like it is “your place” for whatever reasons, the other thing when you have health issues after dining.

Went on a Friday night and the place was not busy. My entree was unpleasant and the wife's was inedible. I ordered gnocci in vodka sauce and she ordered eggplant parm. Mine was like it was made with boxed gnocci and it sat in the fridge for a few days until I ordered it, and the sauce was straight from a grocery store jar, they threw it together and microwaved it and sprinkled a little chopped basil on it to hide the fact that it should have been thrown in the trash days ago. Her eggplant parm was grey, slimy, and vaguely fishy. It was hidden under a giant layer of mozzerela to mask the appearance, so I peeled back the cheese and that was the end of that. Maybe if we had ordered off the daily specials sheet instead of off the menu it would have been a different experience. We will not go back. Maybe I should give them two stars since we didnt get food poisoning?

Really cute little restaurant. The wifey and I went to get a quick bite and a drink. The waitress was really nice and accommodating. The food was good and I requested drink the waitress didn't know, a Bourbon Belvidere. She took a picture of the recipe and made it perfectly!Pizza was small but very flavorful and worked great with the Charcuterie board. I would recommend this little restaurant.
