A very small, quaint restaurant near the Hilton Bankside. There are only about 10 tables. We had a party of six. They were able to accommodate picky Miss 10 with meatballs and spaghetti marinara. The bread basket was DELICIOUS. There were no complaints from anyone at table about their meals. A perfect night with a glass of wine, delicious pasta, and great conversation on our first night in London. Staff was wonderful and attentive. read more

This restaurant offers delicious and real Italian food. My husband and I ate there more than once since it was very close to the hotel where we were staying and not far from The Globe, which was the reason for our trip. Gary had gnocchi with lamb and another pasta dish, and both were excellent. I had risotto once and linguine the second time and they were also very good. I enjoyed sitting outside -there were just two or three tables outside. Perfect for a mid-day latte! The inside, the restaurant as such, is adorable too. Not a big place, but it has a very intimate, cozy feel to it. It also has a great selection of wines. The manager or owner, sorry that I don't remember his name, was very nice and welcoming. read more

Capricci - Having finished my lunch, I was waiting for the dessert. - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

See all

We had a nice time. The food varied in quality; I had the Trofie Al Pesto and it was a bit underwhelming, my partner had their daily special of Gnocci with Prawns and found it to be very good. The service was active and attentive, with the owner doing much of the customer service work. He was kind and good humored. The space is small but intimate and overall very enjoyable. read more

Authentic Italian food with great service and a quiet dining setting. Definitely will return!

Everything about Capricci made dining there the best Italian cuisine we've experienced in both London and California. Lorenzos aesthetic is quite correctly focused on the food itself; the delicate balance of flavors and textures that makes for an outstanding evening. It's a small, intimate space with a minimalist decor dominated by an impressive wall of wines he's collected over time. His enthusiasm and knowledge of wines helped enhance the beauty of the dishes he brought to our table, and he's quite relaxed with the generosity of his pour! This isn't a restaurant for everyone; if you're looking for traditional ' classic' Italian food dominated by olive oil, tomato sauce and parmigiano then there's plenty to be had nearby at the places dotting the Thames. Capriccio is different, more subtle, and well worth the visit. read more

Great spot, not pretentious you would miss it if you did not look for it and you should look for it because it is worthwhile We came here firstly for a dinner between a few of us and had a spectacular meal accompanied by a couple of Genuine Italian wine that was certainly not on many of London's menus Everything was cooked from scratch and it tasted that way - love the attention to detail enjoyed the attention to the customer and also the small cooking which specifically catered for smaller meals for an individual versus a bulk meal Liked the pasta and tried a little salad. Pasta Al Dante perfectly cooked right amount of sauce attention to detail was very tasty We came back with a few of us have a glass of wine and a few snacks and again attention to detail and the service and support was great - we had so much fun I highly recommend this place read more

Capricci - Tiny but efficient! - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

So we are food snobs, esp Italian food, and we cannot rate Capricci high enough. Outstanding and authentic food, curated by a knowledgeable yet humble and unpretentious waiter/owner? whose knowledge of each dish and its origins helped us choose perhaps the most memorable of all our London dinners. Do not expect the usual lineup of Italian standards. Run, do not walk, to Capricci, Bankside, London. read more

We sat outside and enjoyed a bottle of Sangiovese on a lovely London late afternoon. Start with the cured meats... I still am not sure which I loved the most... salami, mortadella, or Parma Ham. Followed by the rocket salad with spicy greens paired perfectly with cherry tomatoes, parmigiana cheese, and balsamic vinegar. Gnocchi were bouncy and perfectly cooked. Seared tuna with salad that was garnished with granola and pickled onions. Trust your waiter; he was spot on with all the recommendations and service. Grappa to finish a stellar meal. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Capricci, which came highly recommended by a hotel clerk. Didn't disappoint. It's one of those smaller spaces with exquisite food. We had delicious pasta dishes -- one with sea bass and the other with pork, the "Rocket" salad and cannelloni dessert. Our server was the marvelous and funny Maria with unbridled energy. read more

Just a great place -small and cozy, for a night after work. Nice Italian menu with unique items and specials (pigeon) and many of the well-known dishes. Great wine list. Pasta is fresh and perfectly prepared, sauces are authentic. Appetizers range from tasty Rocket salad to Scamorza cheese dish. Highly recommend. read more

Went for a quick and casual lunch, and absolutely enjoyed it. Every dish was very fresh and flavourful. It reminded me of the authentic pasta we had at Eataly in Rome. They also had a wide range of things on sale for grocery, so a great place to both dine and take back fresh ingredients. I did find the menu slightly limited in choices, but my dishes were still fab. Service was generally good and prompt. Space was not too vast, so be mindful if you're coming at peak lunch or dinner hours. We went around noon on a Saturday, and it was still fine, but once word spreads, I could see this place becoming very popular! read more

I am Italian and I am very VERY picky about the Italian food I eat. So after finding this wonderful family run deli/restaurant just down the street from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, I was delighted. My wife and I ate here and the food was delicious the service top notch and the cost was reasonable. I will return to this restaurant if I am ever in the area again! read more

Nobody was in the place, so that should have been our first clue. Nothing has meat in it except a couple of the appetizers had octopus or cod and after reading through the menu, I was still not sure what the heck they serve there. Ordered a drink and a plate of bread appetizer and that was $50, and then we got the heck out of there. read more

Simply exqusite. Comfortable, friendly setting. Great wine list. Wondrous menu. Enjoyed our last minute wandering into this cozy but delicious spot. Hoghly recommend! read more

Capricci is a quaint little establishment that is both a Italian cafe and a authentic market. It is located across the street from the Tate Modern Museum and is a short walk from the Globe Theatre. There are only 7 or 8 tables in the restaurant and it has an open kitchen behind the bistro counter. Customers eat surrounded by the product they will be consuming and can buy the wine or cheese they had right off the shelves. The Food is authentic Italian and seasoned to perfection. Fresh vegetables and meat are used. I have exceptionally high standards when it comes to steak and I can honestly say that the veal tenderloin was the best steak I have ever had at a restaurant. We came back twice in three days for dinner just for the steak! Both times we were able to walk in and get a table but you're also able to make a reservation. The staff was amazing and very attentive with real Italian hospitality. I felt at home at Capricci. I will always come back whenever I'm in London. read more
