“I grew up cooking beside my mother and beyond the flavors and recipes she passed down, Momma Capri also taught me about hospitality. When you walk into Osteria by Capri, I want you to feel the warmth of my family’s kitchen and the heart of my birthplace, Calabria, in every bite,” Capri said in a news release. “I believe that to eat well is to live well. At Osteria by Capri, I strive to create a space where every meal feels like a celebration, bringing people together over bold Southern Italian flavors and handcrafted cocktails.”
