Excellent food with very good service. They seemed to push the bottled water but most customers went with tap water. They should offer a side salad at a lower price than their full salad prices. If they did, it wasn’t obvious. We would definitely go there again

I'm an Italian American senior from NYC new to Albany. Have been disappointed with the handful of Italian restaurants I've eaten in since moving here 4 months ago. Cafe Capriccio is finally the real deal. Quality presentation and excellent food. When the server brought out my first dish which was mushroom bisque I knew my evening was going to be successful. Without tasting it I immediately offered a taste to my two dining mates. Needless to say it was fantastic. Our three main dishes were the Osso buco, chicken francese and chicken marsala. Once again fantastic. We finished our meal by sharing a lovely piece of pistachio cheese cake. On a side note, one of my friends(neither of them Italian Americans) said someone told her that it is tough to go out to dinner with Italians since they tend to be critical when it comes to Italian food. GUILTY AS CHARGED! The neighborhood is not the best and difficult to negotiate downtown Albany by car when your not familiar with the city. Thank you, thank you Cafe Capriccio, you truly are the real deal.

Cafe Capriccio special 40th Anniversary NYE menu was an array of delicious Capriccio classics thru the years...albeit some better than others. Although not a fan of the matter of fact style the wait service requested our 4 course pre-paid dinner choices all up front once seated..I understand it was NYE and the kitchen needed to be ready. I coul;dn;t help but imagine a host of dishes just sitting in the kitchen waiting to be brought out..a la assembly line...and luke warm. Nonetheless, overall the flavors and presentation were fine and what you would expect from one of the stalwarts of italian dining in the Capital Region. Alas though-- it would of been nice to see the waitstaff a little more dressed up for the special NYE dinner event. Jeans on NYE? The same goes for many of the guests in jeans...but I guess it it is a sign of the times of no one dressing up even a little anymore for special occasions...

We had heard repeatedly from our neighbors and other acquaintances that this restaurant was superb. therefore when we made reservations for New Year’s Eve our expectations were quite high. Unfortunately, our expectations were probably too high. Although the food was good and cooked properly to order, a couple of the dishes lacked any real intention. The New York Strip steak which I ordered was cooked properly, but it really could’ve used a sauce or some thing to accompany it. It came with asparagus (predictable) and mashed potatoes, yet the potatoes were served dry with no butter. Our meal was served with bread, but that too was lackluster, pasty white flour rolls with no crunch or inspiration. The ambience of the restaurant was minimal, in need of updating, in the basement of an old building. The layout of the room was dark and confusing, had there been an emergency I’m not sure if I would’ve been able to find my way out. When it came time for us to leave I had no real complaint about the food but the cons outweigh the pros and I don’t think we will return.

Sadly, this fixed price New Years Eve dinner was a disappointment. If I didn’t dine there on other occasions I would not go back. Will continue to dine there but not for a holiday or with fixed price. As a foodie, I know better but hoped they would be different. Live and learn.

The cuisine is very good, our party of 5 tried several options and they were all executed to expectation. The value of the food is fair. The atmosphere is not upscale, but certainly charming, cozy, and romantic. There is excellent detail in the dining ware and table preparation, creating a simple, but elegant feel. The service was attentive for the most part. Our server appeared obviously under the influence of "edible," or some derivation, and lacked full attention. The service was acceptable, minus a few missed requests, but mostly just odd with two younger teen girls and their grandmother present. But luckily, the servers have a good sense of teamwork and act as a crew to create a complete service experience. Overall, I would recommend Cafe Capriccio. I visited Cafe Capriccio several times many years ago, and it still provides a charming experience with excellent cuisine. Great place for a date with your special person. :)

Neat lil spot, had a very welcoming feel right when you walked in. The service was phenomenal. A lot of teamwork by staff so it felt like we had 4 servers. The food was amazing. Mushroom “meat” balls were superb. I had the amatriciana blanco, pasta with garlic cream, pancetta and hot peppers, and mixed in chicken. It was AMAZING! I’m not a huge pasta guy but I could not put the fork down

Our family party of 6 felt extremely rushed… we skipped dessert to return home rather than stay at CC. We were in & out within 1 hour! Not the typical dining experience at CC. Restaurant was not crowded but we had a loud table behind us… and very distracting. Also encouraging us to leave, as it was not relaxing. We had tickets to a show at CAPREP at 8pm. Allowed plenty of time, anticipating to have dessert & specialty coffees….at CC. This was very unusual and I certainly hope not a consistent issue. From the moment we sat down our waitress was very abrupt and on her own agenda! Not a lot of options for dining Albany, hoping it was just an off night.
