Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Funny the reviews so far are either 5 stars (from people with profile photos) or 1 star (from people without profile photos). It's five stars rating from me. Been goin here for 35 years and the food is still the king in my "yelping world ". Order the chicken and ravioli of you're a newcomer. Don't expect fancy high brow food here, just excellent Midwestern cooking in a small friendly, former col mining town! Oh, and climb the jumbo on the edge of town before ya leave Toluca. In case you don't know what a jumbo is, it's the two large slag heaps that were left over from when Toluca was a thriving mining town until 1926.

This restaurant is on the main drag of a small town in the middle of a cornfield near my home town. Sure, the decor hasn't changed since I was a kid, but thankfully, the recipes haven't either! It's family style Italian food and it's YUMMY! The pasta and sauce is really unique, the fried chicken is crispy and juicy (nothing like KFC) & it's soooo cheap! A family style meal for 4, including a couple of cocktails at the bar is less than $30!! Take me outta Chicago and let me dine in small town style!

BEST. FRIED . CHICKEN . EVER ! Couldn't tell you about anything else because that's all I remember from my cousin's wedding.

Always great food and fabulous service. Great place for Christmas parties. You can't go wrong with the family style chicken.

Low key family dining. Not fancy, but good. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Rather than go with their signature offering (fried chicken and pasta), I got the Buffalo Chicken Salad. It was a generous portion. The Buffalo Chicken was good with a little bit of spice. The bleu cheese dressing was excellent. Also ordered some fried mushrooms. Again, a nice sized portion. They were nothing remarkable, but not bad either. For whatever reason, cell service in this area is nearly non-existent. Props to Capponi's for offering free, reliable WiFi!

Of course there's the obvious chicken and tortellini to mention - but let us not forget that Capponi's has of the few bars in downstate IL that can crank out old school cocktails at the roomy and charming vintage bar: such as Old Fashioned, Tom Collins, Gibson, Rusty Nail, Bacardi Cocktail, Manhattans of the sweet, dry, or perfect variety, and of course a perfectly concocted martini straight out of the rat pack era. This is an oasis in a sea of beer and shot bars where when a lady orders a Sidecar, she doesn't get a blank, slack-jawed stare in return.

One of my faves back home, and I go there every time I visit my family. I just had my birthday dinner there. The bread is good (crunchy crust, soft middle), and I get the fried chicken every time (crispy and salty) =) I love the spumoni ice cream for dessert.

OK Italian, but there is better. Tourist trap.

Eating at Capponi's was such a disappointment. I am shocked to read the other reviews of this restaurant! There was nothing 'authentic Italian' about it. With the exception of the fried chicken, everything on the table was just frozen food, dethawed and slapped on a plate. The pasta sauce, the french fries, the chicken tenders, and the breaded ravioli appetizer were all clearly frozen and tasted like it too. Not one single thing was freshly prepared. The dinner salad was literally bagged iceberg salad with 1 baby carrot and a slice of cucumber thrown on top, then drowned in dressing. The dinner bread was hard, cold, and served with cold butter. I heard such good things about their pasta, but there wasn't a decent non-red sauce on the menu. It was all basically the same red sauce (with or without meat) served on your choice of frozen pasta. Yuck! I mean, for $15-20 per person, I was at least expecting some fresh food! Instead, it was like a dingy diner where everyone was dressed up, pretending it was classy! The entire time we were eating, the overhead lighting would dim every 5 minutes or so. I'm sorry, but this place is a dump. Maybe Capponi's was good back in the day, but take it from an impartial newcomer who wanted to like this place, it was pure rubbish!
