    Our first time at Capozino did not disappoint. The tiger prawns were amazing. The shrimp in garlic was very good, but the medium sized shrimp were not cleaned. We thoroughly enjoyed the sangria. Very good service and large portions. We felt the prices were a bit high compared with comparable restaurants in the area. Everything was fresh and prepared well. Meter parking is available on the street.

    We went on a last minute date night they were able to get us a table and we were sat right away. The food and sangria were all really good. Great restaurant environment, we will certainly be returning.

    Food was worth every penny. You can see the love put in to preparing each plate. Customer service was awesome, he even took the time to explain some of the work behind the plates and drinks are on site. The have the most delicious sangria (red of course) I have ever had. I will be going back very soon 😊

    Excellent Portuguese food with a Brazilian flair! Offering more then the traditional fare of food in a cozy atmosphere.. Every day there's over a dozen specials to tempt your spectrum of gastronomic senses! Definitely worth the trip to explore this little GEM.

    Good food with big portions. It's more like a steakhouse, porterhouse, cowboy, ribeye and skirt steak. The meat was tender! Good appetizers, and good selections of seafood. The shrimps were a little dry and hard. Cocktails and desserts were not their strong suits. In general the place was fun and enjoyable.

    First time eating here and it will be the last. Ordered Lobster w shrimp in a beer sauce which was $42. What I received in a pot was disrespectful! Three small shrimps and an empty Lobster shell with a mess load of onions and peppers. I had to pick up fast food on the way home! Waiter didnt even ask how the food was and my wife was glad he didnt because I was ready to say something. I decided to just let it go and never come back. Being portuguese I wanted to like this place. Go to the Fisherman around the block for better prices and better portuguese food.

    Let me start by saying the food was very good and nice portions! We reserved a table for 8:45, and was seated with in 5min. Our server came to the table in about 5min took our drink order. When he returned we placed our dinner order. He did not return to our table until after 10pm once we informed another employee we needed our server. We asked himnto wrapped leftover and for a desert menu. He dropped off the menu and we didn't see him again. Lucky there was another gentleman who came over and took our desert order and my wife ordered an espresso. About 10min goes by and the gentleman comes by and asks if all was ok. I informed him we did not get our espresso. We see him proceed over to our server and yell at him that he never brought us our espresso. While the food was very good I would not return because of the lack of service. Our server only came to our tablento place our order, never came to see if we wanted refills or needed anything else. He only came back to the table when we had to request him to visit the table.

    All I can say is I do not have every photo documented because I enjoyed & ate it too fast lol. The Sangria is strong & flavors have depth. The Valencia Paella has alot of shrimp, very little chicken or sausage but it doesn’t matter because the serving can easily feed 3 people and the flavor is perfection. I could eat the garlic shrimp app everyday. The octopus is cooked to perfection; they get the char marks and despite the tentacle being thick it is cooked through and not overdone. Fried calamari is the only thing I’ve had better and could skip.

    Love this hidden gem in South River! The Mariscada and red sangria is to die for! This place is perfect for date night or any occassion. The atmosphere and decor of this place is quaint and authentic to it's roots, with details of exposed brick through cracked plaster and beautiful molding. The mariscada has so much seafood in it so it definitely fills you up! The steak comes on Terra cotta and is cooked to deliciousness; still sizzling when it comes out. The sangria here is my favorite! They also have a banquet hall area for big parties to rent. I definitely recommend this small but tastey place!

    Visited here on a Tuesday at 6pm. It was a slow night, which worked out well. The service was great and the food was very good. My coworkers from Rhode Island loved every bit of it. So many choices and they are all good.

    Filet was slightly overcooked, but that's fine. Rice and chips are delicious. Red sangria, very good. Cod is too salty. Service varies from lackadaisical to good depending on who you ask for something.

    We have experienced many of New Jerseys treasured Spanish/ Portuguese dining experiences. But none have ever compared to Camponizo! From the beautiful Architecture and Decor . To the welcoming atmosphere. And especially the attentive smiling staff... You will fall in love! When you taste the food... You will rise to heaven itself!

  • 3/5 Rich M. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there twice so far and the 1st time. Everything was great. The second time it was the opposite. Both times the food takes a while to come out. I'll try a 3rd time in a very special case. The prices are a bit high, compared to other similar restaurants.

  • 4/5 Barry H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was all great except the calamari was a little chewy. The food is a little pricy but the portions are generous. Nice place to celebrate a special occasion or just an occasional dinner. Our dinner was our wedding anniversary celebration. Our waiter Jesus was very helpful answering our questions about items on the menu and even making suggestions for us.
