THE Caesar Salad!
Kyle K.

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!!!

Went as a party of six to celebrate a friend's birthday. Food was delicious and service was great. Valet parking is quick and easy.

Caesar Salad

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.

Spumoni

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.

A friend of mine from RI told me that RI does Italian well so I came here. It was a bit loud inside so I asked to be seated outside. I enjoyed the plant enclosed outdoor section I was seated at.

The octopus body was grilled to a tender tenderness, though the tentacles were slightly charred and bitter, which is normal, but the sauce was far superior. The kale was cooked until smooth and thick, with a distinct sweetness that completely eliminated any strange vegetable taste; the white beans were also soft and creamy, adding thickness and aroma to the sauce. This sauce paired perfectly with the bread served before the meal. Pizza with Sweet Corn & Spicy Oil: In Providence, you absolutely must try grilled pizza. The waiter recommended this one, saying it was his favorite. It was the first time I'd ever had a pizza like this. The crust was thin and light, with noticeable charring, and a slightly crispy texture, which inexplicably reminded me of the Indian roti that I always had at Cantonese restaurants when I was a child. The tomatoes and corn were in season, and a touch of chili oil brought out a lively blend of sour and sweet flavors. Delicious. Bacaro's "Farmer's Salad": This was the first time I'd had a salad with snow peas, and it had a raw taste. I also tasted a hint of minty, refreshing herbal flavor, which was interesting. I searched for the ingredients but couldn't find the source, and the waiter couldn't explain it either.

My pieces were tasty but a bit fatty (hard to chew). I had the eggplant ravioli which was very rich and tasty ($28) - but so heavily sauced it was hard to tell what was what. The less good parts: the cheap wood chairs are too uncomfortable to sit on very long (I moved to the banquette next to my partner). The food is overpriced. It really needed something with it - bread, potatoes, vegetables, anything. The pork came with a few bitter leaves of a salad. I have a small appetite in general - I usually take home half my food anywhere I go. I looked at the food and said "we are going to have to go to IHOP later" because it was a light snack. The only bread available cost $12. Maybe it's amazing but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $12 for bread on principle. The food took awhile to arrive. Long enough for the server to tell us she was leaving for the night and to get up and order two drinks directly from the bar myself. The servers were nice in a way that felt somewhat forced. We are finding someplace else for dessert. I really liked my espresso martini, and that was within the price range I would expect ($13).

The weather was nice, so we chose to sit out back under the lovely umbrellas and look over the water. They also have adirondack chairs set out, so I imagine it would be a lovely spot for a cocktail and a chat with friends! Our server, Lena, was a DREAM and helped us make our choices. I got a seasonal latte while my partner got the medium-roast pourover coffee. Having had a hard time finding really great coffee recently, we were soooo impressed. They clearly take their coffee program seriously (and now I realize the name should have tipped me off!). The food was equally impressive. It legitimately didn't have to be as good as it was (lol). The yogurt bowl on any menu is usually "meh," but we gave it a try since we wanted some non-meat protein and I am SO glad we did. It was the best yogurt bowl I've ever had- no contest. The whole milk yogurt was creamy; the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries were ripe; the honey and granola added crunch and some floral sweetness; and the best part was the raspberry preserves they pipe on top. I wish I could recreate this at home! We also loved the lemon poppyseed loaf with blueberry preserves and cream. Another quick brunch addition that could have been simple, but had so much thought put into the flavors. Overall, a big fan and I'll be back!

The staff at Sapphire (Melissa, Marc, & Shiv), as well as the guest bartender (Vannaluck), went above & beyond to make the experience interactive & memorable. We were greeted immediately with a French 75 made with cognac - Did you know that the original French 75 called for cognac, as well as many other classic cocktails? No? Neither did I. The welcome aperitif was a great lil' treat to kick the night off with. We were given a mini charcuterie selection to keep us busy until the main event, which began about 20 minutes after we arrived. Vannaluck talked us through the history & characteristics of cognac. We were given 3 small pours of different cognacs to taste as well as a serendipitous, bonus mini pour at the end. Throughout the night, the kitchen sent out a variety of tapas that UTILIZED COGNAC. Cognac glaze, reduction, brine, etc. Fascinating! I went in knowing next to nothing about cognac & left with a decent understanding of the spirit. I've always wanted to do something like this, & Sapphire made it extremely accessible. It was also amazingly affordable. I'm really looking forward to more events like this one. Sign me up, please.

How we would rate our experience Sommelier & Wine -- 5/5 A true highlight. We started with a half bottle of sparkling, then chose a bottle of white. The sommelier presented the bottle, which is on the prestige wine tasting list. His pairing with the artichoke was superb. Service -- 4/5 Really polished, Michelin-level service. They pushed in our chairs, folded our napkins if we stepped away, changed silverware between courses. Only opportunity was sweeping up crumbs. There was one mix-up when someone who wasn't our server brought out a quail dish. We explained we're vegan, and he immediately took it away, returned and apologized. Otherwise, service was excellent. Ambiance -- 3/5 The water views are beautiful and could make this a 4, but a rowdy terrace party gave more sports-bar vibes, and the door to the bar kept opening. Presentation -- 3.5/5 Visually stunning, with obvious precision and advanced gastronomy techniques. The uniformity of the vegetables and textures was impressive. Some courses were 5/5 showstoppers, while others were one too many strange bowls of foam--2/5. Taste -- 1/5 The food was seriously bland. We observed the vegetarian dishes were similar to the meat and seafood dishes, but with the protein removed. When you remove a salty, savory fish, you also remove everything it contributes. Something needs to be added back to execute the original composition. Price -- 2/5 At $185 per person, the vegetarian tasting menu is not justified at the same meat price. I'm happy to pay for an incredible experience, but this menu should be closer to $99-$125 WITH improved taste and care. Bottom line Aurelia has potential, but I would not currently recommend it to vegetarians or vegans unless they take our feedback seriously. The vegetables felt like supporting players in dishes designed around the meat or seafood, and didn't shine on their own. The service, wine program and technical execution are all there. But the most important part is simple, the food should taste good, especially at thar price.
