    Caesar Salad - exquisitely dressed and the shaved parm topping completes the dish!
    Kyle K.

    Capriccio is undoubtedly my favorite Italian restaurant in the Northeast! This is old school - captains and assistants - "downstairs" - and a menu that is simply outstanding. Literally, there is nothing on the menu I would not order! The Caesar is perfectly done, and the tenderloin Diane is perhaps one of the best dishes I've had anywhere! The menus is complete with great Italian and other regional wines, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on all aspects of the menu - wine and cuisine. I love the vibe of the decor and general setting. It's almost as if it's from a movie... in the end, it's just business!

    Date night at capriccio! The atmosphere is second to none and we both love dinning in here! It's been a little since we have been here but it's still as we remember it. Right away we started with the Caesar and calamari. Both were good but nothing that rocked our world. A few tables over a couple ordered the shrimp Scampi which smelt delicious as it was being prepared table side so I decided to get that and my GF got the filet. Her filet was good, it had a red wine glaze sauce on it that was tasty. My dinner wasn't that good, the shrimp was excellent but the scampi sauce itself wasn't doing it for me unfortunately. Our cook who prepared it did a good job entertaining us and our actual server was attentive and did a good job taking care of us for our time at capriccios.

    This restaurant has been around for decades and known as one of RI's top romantic restaurants. My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and it was the most perfect spot to celebrate. The ambiance is intimate, upscale, and classy. They offer valet parking and coat check upon arrival. Service is great, the staff is very attentive and professional. The food was good. The shrimp scampi was made right at the table, offering an amazing presentation and was the WOW factor of the night. The filet had a char on the outside and was cooked perfect in the middle. The sauce on the filet was tasty. I got the Caesar for an app and it came with crushed croutons/bread crumbs on top. The calamari was okay.

    We came here for a birthday party last weekend. The building was cute and Ina good location- they had valet service which made things super easy. We arrived 5 minutes early for a 7pm reservation for 18. We were escorted downstairs past the bar into a small back room with circular tables. The service here was fantastic. Our waitress was very genuine . I was disappointed about a preset multi course menu- I don't eat cheese, but the waitress was able to adapt a few things for me. Our drinks came-- and that is when things slowed down. A lot. We were told another birthday party of 40 in another room arrived 1.5 hours late for their reservation that was why our service was backed up. It took an hour to get our appetizers and went downhill from there. It was over 3.5 hours beginning to end- we had to leave before desert was served so took ours to go. I don't know how desert was, as we gave it to a friend--- the only desert we could get to go was tiramisu and we don't care for it. For two dinners, two drinks and tips we were in it for $225. I had to leave my card with my oldest daughter as they will not do seperate checks for a party. I got the veal parm no cheese-- and it was cold . Came with 5 gnocchis. I really didn't enjoy it and left more than half of it there. The house salad was good - and my appetizer was a dish with beets and cheese, just did not cheese and that was probably the best thing of the night. It was a pretty bad experience given this was my first time here-- we generally dine on the hill for Italian. Those in our party that frequent here for dinner stated it was no where near the quality they experienced previously. Other than the great attitude of the wait staff and the cute interior I don't have much else to say that is positive. Given this experience we won't go back.

    i had a spectacular experience here. i had never been and it was a place i walked by a million times because my favorite mural is there. my student invited me to graduation dinner, we were a party of 8. our server was soooo sweet and hospitable. he went out of his way to make it a memorable celebration, and he noticed i don't eat pork so he paid special attention to what went on my plate. my student's family did drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. i had tea, grilled oysters, arancini, beef wellington, enjoyed the bread service, finished my friend's beef stroganoff, and tried the chocolate cake, and the cannoli. (listen i'm bulking rn). they literally finished grilling the carrots tableside for my beef wellington so that they are crisp on my plate. i loved the underground luxury feel. so classic. so would return.

    I came here for the first time during restaurant week and from the ambiance and service to the quality of the food it was a great experience. The restaurant is cozy and soft lit with white table clothes. Both the waiter and the person pouring water were really attentive and pleasantly chatty. All the food we got from the three course restaurant week menu was delicious. My favorite was probably the arancini. It had good umami and creamy flavors. The surf and turf was also good. I liked the seasoning on the steak and the shrimp were well cooked. The spumoni wasn't the greatest, and my boyfriend who got the cream brûlée, also thought that wasn't the best thing he'd had, so maybe dessert isn't a strong focus. Neither were bad, just a notable difference in quality from the rest of the meal. I don't think there is a dedicated parking lot, but there's a variety of paid garages and lots nearby. We were able to find street parking as well.

    Delicious food, impeccable service, and a charming ambience make Capriccios an exceptional dining experience. The large chairs and large menus make you feel like royalty. The music, lighting, and staff all give this place a welcoming vibe. The menu is filled with traditional Italian dishes. I've been coming here consistently for over a decade and the quality of the food has remained top notch. I usually come during restaurant week because you get a three course meal and who can say no to tasty appetizers and delectable desserts.

The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.

First stop, we stood at the bar and ordered our drinks ($14 cocktails). And got big glasses of ice water and headed to our table. We then we split up and everyone walked the hall looking at menus. We all ordered food and gave the restaurant a phone number and they'll text you when your items are ready, generally about 10 or 15 minutes depending on how busy things are. Then you go pick up your tray and head back to your table. Note... don't forget your phone like I did. It's a great opportunity for grazing. If you wanna try a little bit here and there. I chose to have Mediterranean food from TOLIA. Appetizer was a nice three dip Mediterranean plate with pita chips $15 that were crunchy and good. For my entrée, I selected the minced lamp, kebabs over eggplant with pita and an added extra cucumber yogurt dip $29. This was all very tasty And costs about $50 with tip. A bit pricey for a self serve if you ask me. But that's the way things are going on these days. It was a nice time sitting around and talking, but then it got very crowded and very noisy and people were hovering by 5:30 to take our tables and even asked if we were getting up soon. It was a cold chilly day, but the overflow folks were headed outside of the picnic tables, which seemed very cold to me, but on a warm day I would all be very nice. A note on parking, we parked in the adjacent parking garage right near behind Track 15 and get your ticket validated inside at wall kiosk by the door when Leaving.

She told me that everything was good so I went with the ribeye taco, the shrimp taco and the mushroom taco. The ribeye taco was fantastic. There was quite a bit of ribeye in it and the perfect amount of spice. The shrimp taco flavor and the mushroom taco was just spicy with a little flavor. I'd have to say the ribeye was the best taco and it definitely wasn't worth what I spent on them. My wife had an eggplant Parm sandwich and it was cooked perfectly, looked delicious and I wish I had gotten that. I really wanted to order a long Liv beer, but the bartender was talking to someone, I assume that they knew, as although I was only the second person in line I didn't get waited on for over 10 minutes. I ended up walking away to go get my food and just drank water. So my first experience here was not great, overall I'm pretty disappointed, but I'm going to go back and try again as there are a few other restaurants. I really do like the idea of being able to get dishes from different restaurants, pick your own seat and sit with other people at a community table. It's really nice inside and they had live music tonight, which would've been great if we wanted to stay. Next time I go back, I'm definitely having Italian, pizza and some falafel.

Taking an Uber would be a great idea as well, so you don't have to deal with anything and can drink as much as you want. They do not have valet.
