Second visit to Capriccio and somehow it was even better than the first. We went in on a Thursday night and from the moment we walked in, we were made to feel incredibly special. The service here is truly exceptional, genuine five-star, old-school hospitality that is so hard to find anymore. Tommy was our server and was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, personable, professional, and made the entire evening feel like an experience rather than just dinner. Salvatore, the owner, has really created something special here. We started with the shrimp cocktail and WOW. I have tried shrimp cocktail at so many places and this has officially become my second favorite ever. The shrimp were HUGE, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I also loved that they bring you a jar of extra horseradish so you can make the cocktail sauce exactly as strong as you like it, along with hot sauce if you want some extra heat. Such a simple detail, but it makes a difference. Amazing appetizer and absolutely worth ordering. Then came the Steak Diane, prepared tableside by Nick, our flambé chef who trained at Johnson & Wales. Watching him prepare it was an experience in itself, but the steak was on another level. I am not exaggerating when I say it was sincerely the BEST steak I have ever had. No joke. The filet medallions were unbelievably tender and beautifully glazed with so much flavor. The roasted potatoes came out piping hot and perfectly crispy on the outside, but soft, buttery, and almost creamy inside. Everything was phenomenal. The restaurant itself is also incredibly clean, elegant, and respectful. There is something special about Capriccio. It has that classic, old-school dining experience that you just don't find everywhere anymore. Please don't change it. Some things don't need to be modernized or reinvented. When something has this much character, tradition, and attention to detail, you leave it alone. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Visit #2 definitely will not be our last. read more

Capriccio is magical! From walking into a whimsical entrance to the lights, flowers, and unicorns throughout the restaurant. Very upscale magical. I came here with my coworkers. What a treat! Not only was this place magical, our server was just as special! He was so kind and funny. He elevated our experiences even more. To top that off, it was restaurant week so we had the opportunity to pick a three course option which allowed us to try more! I went with the clams carpaccio, chicken parmigiana with gnocchi, and the tiramisu. The portions are huge! The food was so good! The table shared their apps. What a treat! read more

We arrived at 6:25 PM and were happy to see they offered valet, which was convenient. The coat check attendant was also very friendly and welcoming. We were seated promptly, but unfortunately the experience went downhill from there. Our server was kind and courteous, however every single course -- including drinks -- took an extremely long time to come out. We ordered cocktails, two appetizers, and four entrees. By 7:30 PM we had only received our drinks. Our appetizers didn't arrive until around 8:30 PM, and our entrees didn't come out until after 9:30 PM. To make matters worse, the entrees arrived cold. My ravioli was mushy and completely inedible. We came to celebrate Mother's Day and ended up having to extend our babysitter's hours and pay extra because the service was so incredibly slow -- all for a disappointing meal and overall experience. read more

Another amazing experience at Capriccio! The atmosphere, staff, food, and beverages/wine are incredible. What keeps me coming back is the feeling of family and the clear commitment of the entire team to deliver an amazing experience! Fantastic!!! read more

Atmosphere is magical. Our server Tommy was knowledgeable about the menu & the food was delicious. Haven't been here in years but it's still outstanding. I did however notice the man who sat us (maybe the manager) went to every table (some twice) except ours to ask how everything was. Hopefully it was an oversight on his part read more

Never again! Service and quality of food completely went down from a couple years ago when I was there before. Foie gras made me nauseous for two days after. Fillet was charcoal, making a note to a waiting staff- was completely disregarded. read more

To start, the kindness and warmth extended to us is always heartwarming in that stunning ambiance of candles and floral arrangements. Our maitre d' and also waiter that night last week was phenomenal in every way - accurate, timely, and specific regarding the specials offered that evening. We began with a delicious chicken soup accompanied by their great bread basket of, wheat and white bread served with a soft butter; and those breadsticks are dynamic when dropped into the soup! My husband truly enjoyed his entree of the Medallions of Filet Mignon which were Pan-Seared,along with French mashed potatoes/Pomme Purée, Broccolini, and Cipollini Onion in a Red Wine Bordelaise. I had a taste and it was excellent. I always enjoy the Tre-Colore Salad consisting of arugula, Belgian Endive, Radicchio, Cabernet Vinaigrette, Parmigiano-Reggiano along with that bread basket. And then there was room to share a dessert of spumoni - absolutely superb! What a special evening as we celebrated our 63rd year of meeting each other!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I enjoyed my first time at Capriccio. It is conveniently located next to a pay-by-the-hour parking lot. The restaurant is well furnished with a romantic ambiance. Service was excellent, right from the moment you step in. Our waiter was welcoming, polite, prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable on each menu item. Presentation was equally if not more impressive - each dish is plated like a piece of art, with amazing detail and vibrant colors. I tried the arancini, kobe carpaccio, and burrata appetizers, all of which were delicious. The caesar salad and my main entree, the Scottish salmon, were both pretty good, but I will certainly be trying the chicken piccata or veal parm next time. Both of these dishes looked amazing, and the chicken/ veal is pounded very thin, almost filling the entire plate, and cooked to perfection. I have also heard great things about their beef wellington. The tiramisu was very good. Overall, I had a great experience here and will certainly be returning to try some of their more popular dishes. read more

Went for Mother's very disappointed in service It was extremely slow. We had to ask for more water and drinks. It was 25minute to get drinks after we ordered them then we waited 45 minutes to get our appetizers. after appetizers cleared it took another hour plus to get our entrees. My son order lobster with linguine there was less than a quarter pound of linguine and a half of a lobster tail ($51) other son's vegges had absolutely no seasonings on it. My husband's veal chop was over cooked he ordered it medium rare go just the opposite. After this experience definitely won be going back. read more

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. read more

Great spot for a date night. The vibe is moody and underground, so it feels romantic. The Aperol Spritz was good. The food was delicious (specifically the rigatoni)! Our server was fantastic and attentive. The kitchen did take some time for our food to come out which is the only reason I did not give 5 stars. read more

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. read more

Delicious dinning experience for Mother's Day on Saturday night. You walk downstairs to an old school RI gem of a restaurant. The server was friendly, professionals and very prompt. Our food was delicious, fresh and hot. Valet parking was so easy! Try this spot if you want to feel like you stepped back in time and love classic Italy food! read more

went here with group of 7 after PC graduation! I was happy to be away from mayhem of "the hill". it was my 1st time here and would love to come back for another special occasion. the service was beyond top notch with Nick as our server and all the attentive attention from supporting staff - pouring champagne , keeping the table organized, clean and food coming. everyone loved their meals veal parm and stroganoff were wonderful. thank you for a wonderful experience read more

Service was great, drinks were perfect and the arancini appetizer was fantastic, wife had the theater prefix menu and had the chicken parm which was very good..I had the steak au poivre, wasn't blown away with the flavor, was hoping for a more peppery flavor and it was sort of flat in its taste. The ambience is really the only reason I would go back, between that and the service it is really good, but all in all it's got to be the food that makes you crave going back and I don't think the food was great enough to drive me to coming back sooner. read more

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. read more

Everything. One of my favorite special restaurants in Providence. Never a bad meal service is impeccable. The place is quiet and romantic.

Very beautiful establishment ! The ambiance of the restaurant is very beautiful from the outside to the inside! Began with the lobster bisque which was okay. Had the shells bolognese for entree also yummy (did believe the shells could've cooked just a tad longer) and lastly chocolate mouse which was DELICIOUS! Nonetheless, the server was sweet and I applaud her for her time and dedication. XOXO read more

Everything needs improvement. I came here with my husband and our friend we arrived at 8:30pm. The valet was rude right off the bat, the host was friendly but seemed frazzled trying to find a clean table. Once seated we were given bread and butter which was the only thing from this place that I'd eat again. Our waitress was extremely rude and answered basic questions like we were stupid. She was so quiet we could hardly understand anything she was saying and was treating us like an inconvenience the entire time. She refilled our waters 3 times before eventually asking if we were ready to order around 9pm. I received my Cesar salad and nearly half of the lettuce was rotten and flimsy. The best thing about the salad was, again, the breadcrumbs. After over an hour of waiting we received our meals at 10pm and all 3 of our meals were COLD. My friend and I assumed we were waiting for my husband's duck until we learned his food was also cold. Somehow my pasta was undercooked despite taking an hour to prepare. The veal on my pasta was so greasy and disgustingly salty that I could not stomach it. After a disappointing dinner we were served a slice of chocolate cake and crème brûlée. My crème brûlée was completely burnt on the bottom. So burnt that I could not finish it and was extremely disappointed. The chocolate cake was ok but was by no means fresh or from the restaurant and tasted like it had been frozen. Freezer burnt icecream did not do it any more justice. Overall for a $160 bill our food and experience was beyond subpar. We left our waitress a decent tip purely due to us having 2 young children and them not being the best eaters. Overall if Angelo's was open past 9 we would've rather eaten there. Don't waste your time at this place unless you want to be hungry for 2 hours just to eat cold food. read more

The salmon was really good soft and flavorful, the swordfish fish was more solid the flavor was strong very well done capriccio. I loved that they have a person at the door to take your coat very classy. By the way dress to impress and if like wine, prepare your wallet;) read more

We came to this restaurant based on a recommendation from a friend. The restaurant was in the basement, but it was upscale and cozy. We ordered cocktails - the pistachio martini is to die for. We also were fortunate to visit during restaurant week, so we each got a 3 course meal for around $45. I got the French onion soup to start, followed by the surf and turf entree, and I finished with the crème brûlée. OMG the food was to die for. Our waiter was fantastic. He joked with us, he gave us recommendations, and went above and beyond to make our meal feel special. What a great place!! read more

Our first time dining here was a very enjoyable experience! Our reservation was for 8pm on a Monday evening. We arrived on time and were promptly greeted. We were seated in a quite corner. The atmosphere is very quiet, dimly lit and romantic. Our server greeted us soon after being seated. He was very friendly and professional. Their wine list is lengthy. We chose a bottle of white wine. My husband ordered off the "restaurant week" menu which was 3 courses. He chose the arancini as a starter, the tenderloin risotto as the entree and tiramisu as dessert. I sampled a bite of everything and it was beyond amazing! Each portion was large as well. I ordered the filet mignon medium rare. It was a tad over cooked but nothing that made it Inedible. It was accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and baby carrots. We look forward to dining again on our next visit to Providence. read more

Saved all month to have a special Valentines dinner date and they place us in a back room that isn't part of the restaurant, it was so obvious we were being discriminated against because we were young. We felt like we were in a storage room. Food took an hour and 20 minutes and was COLD! We were treated with total disrespect. This place is the WORST! When we asked our busser to help us get our check he said, " DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR WAITER?" WOW...DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Upon walking into Capriccio, I immediately felt like I was in Little Italy in NYC, which is not a bad thing in general. Despite descending stairs to get in, the feeling when entering was dramatic. The service during the meal was decent, if a bit slower than I would expect. Our server was engaging and answered our questions. The food was also pretty good. The bread on the table was delicious. The clams capriccio as an appetizer were unimpressive. My wife got chimichurri skirt steak, a special, and was not disappointed. I got the duck with the grand marnier sauce and enjoyed it, though not as much as the server seemed to think I would. So why only 3 stars? Well, we both ordered a 1/2 bottle of wine. The Puilly Fuisse my wife ordered arrived without an issue. The 1/2 bottle Chateau Greysac I wanted was not available. Disappointing, but this can happen. Unfortunately the whole reason I chose the restaurant was my desire to have the Dover sole. That, too, was unavailable. Considering the price point of the restaurant, I expect better. read more

Server was all over the place. We had to ask for water and bread. Lobster bisque was too salty. Lobster cardinale gives you two little pieces of lobster and tons of pasta. Ossobucco was ok but I didn't like how they put it over grits instead of potatoes. The only thing we actually liked was the Arancini. We were served dirty silverware and had to send it back. I asked for a tasting of red wine and server brought out a glass instead and said you'll like it. It was the worst dinner I've ever experienced. read more

A beautiful upscale restaurant. My experience there last night was very disappointing. Our waiter was very kind, however, trying to upscale what we ordered. It began with my glass of wine which I ordered. He advised me they did not have it. Instead got a $25.00 dollar glass of wine instead. Going forward, we were a party of 3. 2 tried to order Veal Saltimbocca and he replied no do not order that, as if it were bad. He suggested the veal porterhouse. So that is what was ordered. I ordered veal parm. He came over without asking and poured parmesan cheese all over it. I don't mind a bit, not a fan. Not the service we expected. We expected a more professional service. read more

Our server was very attentive without being annoying. The food was wonderful and came out hot . The ambiance feels like a trattoria in Italy can't wait to go back read more

I want to first say, that my service from Gwen was top notch! She was polite, enjoyable to chat with but never too intrusive. Her ability to read silent queues from her guests was excellent. Now... on to the food! The arancini would have been delicious on its own, but once you add that cacio e pepe sauce, it was incredible! The stuffed lobster was almost too much for one person. Incredibly rich and could use some extra citrus to cut through it. The tiramisu was a good portion was again so rich and sweet it was hard to get through. I ended up leaving half on my plate. Not for lack of flavor, but rather just being over-indulged. For the wine list. It was extensive and included a lot of staples, and while I did not have one this time around, I want to try one of their reserve bottles next time. I ended up with the 2017 Collina dei Lecci Brunello di Montalcino, when the menu stated it was a 2014, but I wanted disappointed. It paired well and held up to the otherwise rich dinner. There are many other dishes I wanted to try on the menu, but hey, I'm only one person. Maybe I'll be back for another option! The restaurant reminds me of an Italian grotto and is well decorated. The only thing I noticed is how much it echoes in the restaurant. I could clearly hear the conversations of the parties across the room, and I don't think my hearing is that great! Still- highly suggest checking it out and if you have questions about the wine list, ask the floor captain, Steven, he knows what he is talking about. read more

I'll first start by stating the food is excellent. The staff inside was friendly also. I'm not able to give more than a star due to the treatment of the valet/door staff When I pulled up to have my car valeted, I was shooshed away by one of the 2 men sitting outside talking. The valet sign was not set up and I thought maybe they weren't offering it since it was late. I parked in the back and when I went to the door I asked if it was ok that I park in the back and was told no. Then when I asked why they dismissed me when I pulled up he said "I thought you were an Uber driver" and I felt insulted. Had I drove up in a nicer car, would he have been dismissive..I think not. Then the other proceeds to tell me I can't get it valeted if I don't pull up to the other side of the street (how was I to know that on the small street that is barely two car lengths wide that one needs to pull right up to his feet to get their car parked apparently. To make matters worse, once I left the man who retrieved my car taps on my window and has the audacity to ask me for a tip and says "don't you know what gratuity is?" You should have cash and it's expected that he gets a tip. Are you kidding me? I would never go into this establishment if I have to encounter that rude and disrespectful valet again. It's too bad, because without him.. this would've been a very different review. read more

This was one of the best meals I've had in a long while; my first trip ever to Providence but now I'm looking for reasons to return this dinner was so good. Everything about this restaurant is classy and considered. The ambiance easily suits a romantic dinner with your sweetheart, catching up with dear friends or a client discussion.

I enjoyed the pasta and cocktails. The salad was fresh and basic. But I heard the salmon appetizer was amazing. Because it was restaurant week, so it was a lot of people. Unfortunately, their restaurant week menu has no vegetarian options for entree, so I ended up ordering from the regular menu. I'm glad I did that because the gnocchi was great. Tiramisu was also the wonderful finish of the meal. I reduced one star due to the long wait to order food, getting food, and I was accidentally splashed cheese all over my dress. read more
