Capocci Nottingham - An Insult to Italian, Spanish and Mexican Cuisine.


The review for this restaurant will be particularly accurate. Why? Because I have made the awful mistake of not only eating in this terrible restaurant once but twice.

The first time I went there I was with three girls I had met at a concert, and they were the ones that chose to go there, so really who was gonna say "no", right? We ordered the paella and two of the different pastas and a chicken steak . I know what good paella is and what Capocci has is simply yellow rice with vegetables (and a tiny bit of seafood), it tasted just like the frozen paella you get at cheap supermarkets!! As for the pastas, the pasta was way overcooked and it tasted more like eating baby food than anything else. The chicken steak was probably the best dish and even so it was pretty weak, it was way overcooked and the seasoning had not gone through so it tasted like paper.

The second time I went there was with a friend that wanted to know what mexican food tasted like. We passed by and despite me telling him how awful my last encounter with this restaurant was he insisted on going in . We ordered the nachos and let me tell you, this was the weakest excuse for nachos I had ever seen. They simply got cheap nachos and poured the matching salsa sauce with some beans and cheap supermarket brand cheese on it. The worst part was they left it in the oven too long so the nachos were burnt and it took ages to arrive.

So really, if you're in Nottingham and want Spanish, Mexican or Italian Capocci is NOT the place to go!
