His friends told him he was crazy, but when celebrity chef Massimo Capra gets an idea stuck in his Italian-Canadian head, it’s hard to shake. “People warned me that ‘the 905’ might not be the right place for my next venture, but I had a feeling they were wrong," says Massimo. "I don’t care who you are or where you live, everyone appreciates great food. Right?” His hunch paid off; line-ups formed nightly outside of his new Mississauga restaurant even before it had officially launched. Capra’s Kitchen was an instant success.
No doubt Massimo's track record as restaurateur, cookbook author and Food Network personality contributed to the immediate appeal of his new restaurant. Prior to Capra’s Kitchen, this effervescent entrepreneur had already launched several successful restaurants, most notably Toronto’s popular Mistura and Sopra, and Pearson Airport’s Boccone. Some might wonder why a guy at this stage of his career would even bother to open one more…but Massimo has good reason.

I loved everything about this place! The service, the vibe, the food, the price! It was so much to my liking that I was transported to a joyful, peaceful place. All is right with the world when I am here!
The most delicious bolgnese I have ever had and I don’t ever order this but it was recommended! I return and I return for this dish to satisfy my craving for it! Gluten free fettuccine is outstanding, cooked to perfection, also a rare find! It was the beet risotto before this, absolutely delicious as well!
Best pizza I’ve had outside of Italy
Food was fantastic and service was excellent. We will definitely be back
I really wanted to like this place as it is within walking distance from our house. We’ve been there about 10 times hoping that the experience would compel us to come back on a regular basis. Sadly, the food an service are very inconsistent and they’ve been getting worse. Just had a take out of pizzas and pasta, safe bet I thought. Pizzas were under cooked on top and burnt on the bottom. The pasta was over cooked, mushy and soggy noodles. This experience was the nail in the coffin. Never again.
Portions were small and mediocre at best. Would not substitute mushrooms (wife is allergic to them) and had to remove the onions because they were sauteed together. Entree was a 6oz. steak on a thin bed of mash potatoes. Would not serve bread even though i asked to pay extra. they reversed the desserts and all I got was a smile and an apology. This is our 4'th time there and our last.
Atmosphere awesome! Food, absolutely delicious. Service great! Location super awesome -just five minutes from home ?
Clarkson needed Capra's Kitchen! Amazing food, service and a beautiful Patio!
