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.

We also have a patio for al fresco dining, reservable by phone only, weather dependent.

    Our experience was outstanding! We have high standards for service and food quality and both were exceeded. From the minute we walked into the restaurant and were greeted by a warm and friendly host, who seated us exactly where we wanted, to our fabulous server Finn, who accommodated my special custom cocktail request and allergies, and who was genuinely interested in looking after us with delicious appetizers, perfectly cooked Atlantic salmon and a deliciously fresh poke bowl to the exceptional Manager Brendan, who stopped by to make sure our food and service was good and who spent considerable time giving us excellent advice about life in Boston and local collages for our daughter. We plan on returning every time we’re in Boston and we highly recommend you book a table asap !!
