Il Capriccio serves a constantly changing Northern Italian menu featuring local products with an award winning Italian wine and Grappa list.

    My brother and nephew (16) were in town. This restaurant came highly recommended. I can see why. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m very willing to pay extra for quality and service. Both of which we received. The food was amazing. I’ll definitely go back.

    Very nice ambiance right on the Moody street. Lively and nicely decorated space. We ordered 4 tapas plates which were enough for two of us. They came out quickly and well prepared. The Yuka fries and the dipping sauce were really tasty. The Costillas a la Guayaba were fall off the bone tender with a nice Guava sauce. Finished off with a very well made cortado ! If you want traditional Cuban with a modern twist, this is your place.

    I met two friends for dinner and we shared three dishes-- the burrata, the mussels, and a pizza topped with arugula. All were delicious. I was just in Italy and the food was just as good as anything I had there, maybe better.
