    As usual, a great meal thoughtfully prepared. The Valentine’s Day menu included 3 shared appetizers, a choice of 3 entrees and a choice of 2 desserts. The food is always creative and interesting- not the standard boring fare at other places. Service was attentive even though they were very busy. Always at the top of our list.

    We had a Valentine’s Day dinner, which was wonderful: attentive service from Ann, and all the food was delicious. One thing we really appreciated was not feeling rushed — sometimes you can go to a restaurant and the food is good but you are spending lots of money, and you’re finished in an hour! Not the case here. Definitely recommend Il Capriccio.

     this is a very comfortable restaurant and it has excellent food. My husband and I went for an early Valentines dinner. We like to avoid the crowds on the 14th. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We made a reservation and were seated promptly . We shared the eggplant appetizer. I had the paparadelle with porcini and truffle mushrooms. My husband had the house special with scallops and shrimp with pasta and vodka sauce. Everything we ordered was outstanding.

    Darcy was our waitress, friendly, attentive, professional, and overall a real pleasure. The owner swung by and chatted. Even had a chef step out to take a group picture so we could all be in it. Overall, the whole vibe of the place is very comforting and inviting. Food was very good, though a couple dishes were a little on the bland side. Still good, but could’ve used a little sauce or seasoning. But overall, everybody was really pleased with their dinner, and we just loved how welcoming it felt to eat there. Highly recommend.
