4 Fratelli Caprini is an independent Italian restaurant on Waterloo Road, directly opposite Waterloo Station. The business has served traditional Italian food since 1946, giving it a long connection with the neighbourhood and generations of travellers, theatre visitors and local diners. Its warm dining room suits an unhurried lunch or dinner, while a private room can accommodate parties, meetings and other gatherings of up to 40 people.
The menu begins with minestrone, homemade bread and olives, followed by a substantial antipasti selection. Beef carpaccio comes with rocket, Parmesan and mustard sauce, while fried calamari is accompanied by lemon and tartare sauce. King prawns in white wine, chilli and tomato offer a richer start, and baked goat cheese with poached pear provides a sweet and savoury alternative. Salads combine ingredients such as buffalo mozzarella, avocado, tomato, artichoke and rocket.
Pasta and risotto cover both classic and seafood focused cooking. Spaghetti carbonara and Bolognese sit beside wild mushroom ravioli, linguine with clams and a seafood linguine finished with tomato and chilli. The house taglierini combines monkfish, crab, prawns, courgette and cherry tomatoes. Risotto choices include seafood, chicken with spinach, porcini mushrooms, and a vegan primavera prepared with seasonal vegetables, asparagus and saffron.
Stone baked pizzas range from Margherita and American Hot to calzone, Capricciosa and the vegetable filled Ortolana. The wider main course selection includes grilled chicken, veal saltimbocca, lamb cutlets and Scotch steaks, as well as salmon, sea bass, monkfish and king prawns. This combination of pizza, handmade style pasta, traditional meat dishes and carefully prepared seafood gives Caprini the breadth expected of a classic fully licensed Italian restaurant.
