Checked out the newly reimagined Capri Club tonigh Checked out the newly reimagined Capri Club tonight.  The menu is filled with Italian nibbles and cocktails. I tried the Negroni and the Coppola (bourbon plus 2 different Amaro). The bar was packed- go early to get a seat. This is not the spaghetti and meatballs place it was 20 years ago.
