ABOUT CAPORELLA'S ITALIAN RISTORANTE

My family and extended family spent many hours over the years gathered around the kitchen and/or dining room tables, breaking bread together, and sharing stories, all talking and laughing at the same time.

I love it when this happens at our restaurant - it's a reminder of wonderful days gone-by and also that our customers are enjoying our food and their time together. At Caporella's Italian Ristorante we love sharing our Italian heritage and our food with our customers and their friends and family. Many of our authentic Italian recipes are family-recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. Our son, John, the chef, attributes his culinary skills, to my mother, who was a wonderful cook.

PATS FATHER - JOHN CAPORELLA IN HIS GROC

Family members have made several trips to Italy and have brought back many recipes and ideas that have been incorporated into the menus. Throughout Caporella's Italian Ristorante, you will find family photos and mementos that have personal significance, including the photos on our menu. These photos were all taken by family members on two recent trips to Italy. The music theme on the cover of the menu is a reflection of our family's love of music - my father played the mandolin, violin, and saxophone, our sons, John and Brent, play the guitar, and I play the clarinet and accordion and I am currently the choir director and cantor at St. John the Baptist Church in Perryopolis. Our grandson Ben has also become an avid musician, playing the drums and guitar, as well as beginning to compose his own music.

We hope you have a wonderful dining experience at Caporella's as we share

A Taste of Italy and our Italian Heritage with you

We appeal to all of your senses when you dine with us; you will experience the beauty and ambience of a historical train station, the aroma of homemade Italian food and simmering sauce on the stove, the sound of Italian music playing in the background, and the taste of made-to-order authentic Italian food like mama used to make.

Thank you for your patronage - we sincerely appreciate it.

Buon Appetito!
