    Veal chop Veal Parmigiana
    Gigi M.

    Our night was fabbbbbuöous! My shrimp scampi was superb!!!! My husband had shrimp diablo n enjoyed that. Our friends had the veal pork parmigiana and that looked amazing! We really enjoyed our birthday dinner there

    Seafood linguini and lobster ravioli

    Very rarely do I go back to a place twice on a weekend trip because my husband and I prefer to try new places but on this trip we did! This place is AWESOME! Food is amazing and the service is equally as awesome. The place is a hidden gem. The lobster ravioli was the best my husband has ever had and the eggplant parmigiana was sooooo good and so was the linguini piscatory! Highly recommend this place. We got multiple appetizers and didn't have anything here that was 10/10! Also the bread was fresh and divine. Next time I am back in Hollywood I am coming here again. Also I recommend calling for reservations at dinner because they get busy. Louis was our server for lunch and he did an amazing job!!!!! Rarely does a place have equally as good service each time as the food but this place does!

    Fettucini Alfredo
    Christina H.

    The location of Miami/Fort Lauderdale restaurants are an enigma I'll never understand. Located inside the Aquarius Towers Condominiums, this small, family-owned Italian restaurants requires check-in with security, who will direct you to the restaurant, as the other levels are residential. Despite the pictures/videos showcasing a pool side view and stunning decor, don't be fooled-- it's all just for marketing purposes as it highlights the condo's amenities, not the restaurant itself. I was seated by the window, which was covered in blue plastic wrap and shattered any chance of a nice view. I originally intended to order a salad as an appetizer and the Fettuccine Alfredo for my entree, but as soon as the waitress took my order, she suggested to order the entree, which comes with a salad. For my protein, I added the shrimp. Unfortunately, the shrimp was overcooked and a bit burnt and the Alfredo lacked flavor--it really needed a little zhush to bring it to life.

    We had a very good early dinner. We sat outside on the patio with a pool nearby and off the shoreline. Beautiful setting. The restaurant has valet parking. I highly recommend the lobster ravioli. The meatball appetizer was also very tasty. Service was good. The patio itself is pretty basic. The inside is quite nice.

The meal starts with complimentary soup that is flavor full and perfect for dunking the focaccia bread. I do not recommend one thing since everything was amazing. But I will tell you that the steak tartare was one of the best I have ever had as well as the perfectly smoked burrata, tomatoes and red pepper. The veal Milanese was perfectly cooked and tender but the star was the spaghetti with Vodka sauce (mushrooms and prosciutto). That was outstanding. The old world charm and ambience will give you rat-pack vibes. Like a charming old steakhouse in Vegas. If you have not been here , you need to visit. Tell Carmela that I sent you.

The ambiance as you enter looks classy and on the dark side. We received attention immediately and were seated in the second floor. The menu was straight forward with additional specials recited by the server. The tomato soup was complementary and it was totally delicious. We also ordered calamari and meatball for appetizers. Calamari was good but the meatball was dry - disappointed by all 4 of us. I ordered rigatoni with sausage, meatball, and short rib. It was delicious. My wife ordered chicken parm - it was OK. My son ordered the special pasta with lobster- I was told it was delicious but once we found out it was $90 , it was not nice. Definitely not a $90 dish. My daughter in law had a pasta dish with white sauce. She did not like the fact it was way too salty. We had taken a bottle of wine with $50 corkage fee. We may try to come back again some other time and try other dishes. Hopefully, the server will mention the price when reciting the specials.

Located in a plaza across from the casino, with only a handful of tables, I experienced some of the most delicious food in the area! We drive from Boca just for the vodka sauce!

We started the meal with their delicious fresh bread and oil and we always order the tomato and mozzarella app. Tonight we tried the meatballs as well and they were very tasty served with a side or cold ricotta.

The restaurant is located within a shopping area and there was ample free parking. The restaurant is a cozy family setting. We were promptly seated. The special menu for night included standards. We placed our order: lasagna with a green salad, the fish special and pasta fagioli, a glass of wine and a beer, ended the dinner with a slice of NY style cheesecake and a slice of limoncello. The final Cost of $119.00 plus taxes. The food was good, but I was disappointed with the soup as the pasta fagioli was puréed to the point no pasta noticeable. The staff of 4 young waitresses managed to stay on top of all the tables. We appreciate Lisa stopping by our table and thanking us for the patronage.

I REALLY wanted to try the Fettuccine a la Routa - where they make the fettuccine tableside in a cheese wheel. It wasn't being served on Christmas Eve as they "were too busy." Even at 8:00 pm, the restaurant was only half full. So that was disappointing. The website also says it's based on Sicilian Italian food. So to support Sicily, I wanted to have a Sicilian wine. Unfortunately, they only offer one bottle and none by the glass. So that was disappointing. Another of us wanted a clams appetizer. No. So that was disappointing. I ended up ordering a branzino livornese which was perfectly cooked. The sides - not pasta. Asparagus and mashed potatoes - again perfectly cooked - but I wanted pasta. So that was half disappointing. The bread - DE LISH!!! The butter, however, was way too cold and tore the bread apart. So that was disappointing. My bill - $75 (and they already include the tip) for bufala mozzarella appetizer (which was SO GOOD!!), branzino and a Negroni. WAY over-priced in my opinion. It should have topped out at $60. On the plus side, the service could not have been better, and a beautiful wooden / metal horse greets you - and it is a FANTASTIC piece of art!! I'm returning to Capriccio's.

For the lactose intolerant folks that have to opt for vegan cheese, its typical of most places. Doesn't beat real cheese but any pizza with good toppings won't be ruined by it.

The atmosphere is cozy and provides plenty of comfortable seating. One cannot miss the gorgeous pizza oven, the centerpiece of the kitchen.

I think a Slice of Heaven best describes the extraordinary light crust - thin & flavorful. It is the perfect foundation for the savory variety of toppings offered on the menu. We also enjoyed the Carne & Co pizza. A masterpiece of harmonious combination of toppings while not overloaded. What a delight! Everything is so fresh! And last, but certainly not least, our server Manuela added to our wonderful experience. She was warm, friendly and attentive to our needs. She provided a smooth experience from beginning to end.
