Il Capriccio serves a constantly changing Northern Italian menu featuring local products with an award winning Italian wine and Grappa list. Though long considered a local secret, Il Capriccio has been the number one Northern Italian restaurant in Zagat's for the past seven years. The wine list has been featured in Decanter, Sante, Wine & Spirits and Stuff. The same menu is served in the Bar. We like to serve great food and great wine in a comfortable setting. For peace of mind in Covid time, our three brand new, state-of-the art, Mitsubishi air handlers employ MERV Level 13 filtration, just one step down from an operating theatre. We also have a patio for al fresco dining, reservable by phone only, weather dependent.

    This may be my new go to spot to catch up with friends! Easy ambiance, friendly (and fast) service that helped with suggestions for tapas. We shared the Cubano sandwich, creamy cauliflower, grilled octopus & fish tacos. All super yummy, served quickly & hot. Great tapas options & a great venue for conversation with a friend I hadn't seen in a few months. Virgin mojitos were also excellent! When I've been here before, it was really loud & difficult for conversation, but this time less so. Maybe because we were seated in the front part of the restaurant & had an early (530) Friday night reservation.
