I hosted an event there for a party of 6 and we had an excellent repast. The food was very good. I was not told, though, about the 20% gratuity. Not a problem, but I always tip in cash so that the waiters get the payment that night. I added $20, but they would have fared better if the tip had been in cash immediately.

First time at Capriccio. The food was excellent as was the service. Staff was super friendly and really seemed to enjoy working there. The place had a great ambiance. Larry the piano man was great and even let my daughter do a duet with him. Will definitely be going back.

We had a reservation on Sunday at 7:15PM. We got our main course at 8:45PM. I am sure that the excuse that it was a busy mother's day is soooo great. I guess the restaurant didn't expect that mother's day would be so busy! What a surprise! We got our appetizers fairly fast. But then the sever disappeared till the main course was ready. He wouldn't come and let us know about the status of our food. This place charges 20% tip for any "major holiday". So, I guess the servers aren't interested to serve because they get the 20% anyway. Word of cation. My steak was labeled "Market Price" without stating the size of it on the menu. I asked about the price. I was told it would be a 10oz fillet for $52. When the final bill arrived it was $89. So, CHECK YOUR BILL. They also calculated 20% tip with $89 as a base. I failed to see it. I'd say the food wasn't bad and we liked the wine but the service was not good at all! I don't think I'd go back again.

This was our first time at Capriccio's and for a day like Mother's Day, everything was outstanding. We have lived in the area for over 20 years and have never been to Capriccio's. The food was delicious. We had the calamari, brushetta and the caponata. They were all delicious. The caponata was one of the best I have had. For dinner I had the lobster ravioli, my husband had the veal mediteraneo, my daughters had the gnocchi with vodka sauce and the chicken parm. They were all outstanding. Our waiter was very attentive and funny and the server as well. I can say it was a wonderful Mother's Day. I can't wait to go back!!

The waitress did not bring me my correct order and I had to wait 25 minutes after my grandkids, wife and daughter had finished their entrees. She brought me PAPPARDELLE NORDB instead of my favorite PENNE MAREE MONTE . She was extremely difficult to understand so I assumed their was a miscommunication. She made it seem like I changed my mind and asked me if I wanted it to go. I didn't but said yes anyway. That was an extra 30 dollars on my bill (271.02) which was way overpriced for pasta dishes with 1 glass of wine. They were providing a free dessert which she handed us on our way out.

Celebrating Mothers Day at Capriccio’s. We were there at 4 pm, many patrons already enjoying their meals. I had one of the fish specials, Mediterranean SeaBass. It was cooked to perfection. Salad was fresh and the dressing very tasty. Capellini pasta was a little Al dente for me. A dish of spinach with garlic and oil was lovely. By the time we were beginning to enjoy the meal, we were treated to a pianist with a very eclectic music preference. He played different decades with style. The place was ticking in no time!

As always fabulous Sat at the bar with friends Allison was fantastic behind the bar, made sure we were well taken care of. Meals were salmon, Caesar salad w/jumbo shrimp, and penne a la vodka with grilled chicken. The portions were more than ample, we all took home food to enjoy again! Everything was delicious. Thank you Capriccio for another great evening with live music as well….

We enjoy coming to Capriccios often and always enjoy the dining experience. My Seafood Risotto was excellent and my husband’s Lasagna was very good. The calamari appetizer was delicious as well as our favorite dessert the chocolate mousse torte. Our next visit will be made well in advance so we are seated away from the kitchen doorway which gets very busy.

La mesa que nos asignaron fue pequeña, creo que podía habernos acomodado en una mejor mesa y en una buena área. Debido a que hice mi reserva con anticipación y siento que no valoraron eso. Creo que esto hizo que nuestra experiencia allí no fuera de 4 estrellas.

Sorry to say my experience was only fair. The restaurant wasn't crowed at all. In fact only a few tables were taken and we waited 30 minutes before any one came over. The food is ok but prices aren't cheap for what you get but the waiter Mario was great. I was served a martini with a bug doing the backstroke. I won't be back

Management was awful, food took 2 hours, was not even offered an appetizer for the very extended wait time, went for my husband's birthday and had to pay for his birthday dessert, not offered a discount for the wait, drinks were not refilled, dirty dishes sat on table. Never again, unless management changes. Waste of time and money.

Good service, good food, but you stuck my wife and I in the banquet hall. Bad ambiance, noisy, and customers wearing flip flops, t-shirts, jean shorts, and two dogs. What happened to the dress code? Capriccio’s prided itself in a great ambiance, but last night was bad. Don’t expect us to return if you offer us good food and bad dress code.
