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. For peace of mind in Covid time, our three brand new, state-of-the art, Mitsubishi air handlers employ MERV Level 13 filtration, just one step down from an operating theatre. We also have a patio for al fresco dining, reservable by phone only, weather dependent.

    Terrific meal at il Capriccio in Waltham. Linguine with scallops and veal tenderloin were superb! Very good attentive service and price is right. Will definitely go back.

    Overall, I was disappointed. Service was iffy (it took 20 mins? For our waiter to take our drink order; my affogato sat for 5-10 bec he didn’t bring the espresso…). The salad was good, my halibut with lentils v good. The room we were seated in was mostly empty. I probably won’t go back, as there are more fun, better options available in the area. I feel sad about that!

    Always has been really good ... but this trip was disappointing ... server was busy with too many tables and seemed distracted ... halibut was overcooked and dry ... server never asked how the food tasted ... will think twice before returning ...

    Had a great experience at this restaurant. Our waitress Jan was wonderful. The food was delicious and the meal was one of the best overall experiences we’ve had at a restaurant. The tables were mostly groups of 4-6 people but the setting was somehow relaxing and felt like we were the only people in there. Highly recommend this place.
