The food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful!

You want to love Cafe Capriccio—the staff is fabulous and the ambiance is welcoming. The downfall is an enticing menu that just doesn’t live up to its own descriptions and led to an uneven meal of delicious! and huh? The Pear Salad Fresh (pears, goat cheese, summer greens, white balsamic vinaigrette $13) had neither summer greens nor goat cheese. Arugula was a fresh and lively (though unmentioned) replacement, but is peppery spiciness overwhelmed the delicate pears. The hard gated cheese added nothing to the mix. The Burrata, (fresh tomatoes, basil & arugula $13) came with the same fresh arugula and some remarkably ripe and tasty tomatoes (despite the frigid December weather) and a creamy burrata. Nice and wonderfully fresh for a cold wintry evening. The Duck and Mushrooms (Duck confit ragu, seasonal mushrooms in a rich wine sauce $28) came with the lovely house-made pasta (perfectly cooked), but was let down by a blasé tomato sauce that was neither one thing nor another, lacking the winey richness promised and incorporating a rather unconvincing duck confit (a tad overcooked rather than meltingly tender) and some well-braised mushrooms. The Shrimp Pasta (Jumbo shrimp & tomatoes in a white wine, lemon & garlic sauce topped with toasted breadcrumbs $30) was pleasant but bland and slightly over sauced. It came with the same wonderful pasta. For dessert, the Torta della Nona was disappointing, its custard thick and gluey and the requisite pignoli nuts nowhere to be found. The Tiramisu was classic, light and flavorful. A Sunday night often isn’t the best day of the week to experience a kitchen’s best and this very uneven meal pointed that out very clearly. But you think you might want to go back to Cafe Capriccio anyway for the convivial warmth and generous hospitality of the place.

The atmosphere at this Albany location is a total 180 from the Saratoga Springs location. This feels elevated and chic. China (forgive my spelling) was an amazing wait staff member. From the check in to our final bite, the entire experience was amazing. We both got the 2 pc. fried chicken, my partner got fries and dirty rice...i got the mashed potatoes and Cajun cole slaw. EVERYTIHNG was perfection and was extremely tasty. Thank you for an amazing night of dining and we will be back!!!

This Omikase experience reminds me of our trip to Japan. The sushi chef was very engaging and knowledgeable and the food was outstanding! Drinks were also great and we will definitely recommend and be back for more!

We were glad to have a booth as there were many large groups there so the vibe was lively. Our server was attentive and the food excellent. Enjoyed being there on Wine Night where all glasses were $7 and bottles 1/2 price.
