I had a last minute invite this morning to join a friend's reservation. I have heard great things…read moreabout this place but hadn't had the opportunity to visit yet. So it was an easy yes, to say the least! When I arrived, I walked around the corner to the entrance on Rochambeau. The waiting area inside is bright, colorful, decorated with some personal tokens, assorted cookbooks and accolades. You can just see into the kitchen and suddenly the chef and owner, Milena Pagán will appear over the cafe style doors to greet you and get you checked in for your reservation. Highly recommend a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend. The place was busy! We were taken to our spots at the bar and greeted by Milena's partner, Darcy. He took care of us from start to finish. I could not resist the brunch prie fixe menu for $45. What a steal. An entree, house made pastry, juice/coffee/tea and one of the house cocktails. I chose the shakshouka, a cardamom knot, the guava-pineapple fizz and the rebujito. I also added an iced horchata latte because I was at brunch after all! We had our drinks and pastries in front of us quickly. My juice was refreshing, tangy and just a hint of sweetness. I love guava and this was exactly what I wanted. The latte was simple but effective, hitting the spiced notes you want from horchata with the depth of good espresso to back it up. The latte in particular was delicious with the cardamom knot, the two harmonizing together for a moment of heaven on this rainy Sunday afternoon. The outside of the knot was caramelized in spots adding this great crunch and the inside was soft like a cinnamon bun. My friend mentioned it was one of her favorites and I can see why! When the shakshouka came out, the smell hit me first. Warm tomatoes, the herbs from the chimichurri, and the tostones fresh from the pan. The presentation is beautiful, inviting you to dig in immediately. I of course opted for the smashed avocado upgrade and they thoughtfully plated it on the side. I like to taste everyone together so I added it to my skillet, and began eating the dish using my tostones as my utensil. It was amazing. All those smells I mentioned before played through beautifully in the tasting. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. My only wish was for more tostones but I know if I had asked for an additional side, they had that as an option to take. I'll make sure to do that next time! The rebujito cocktail was something I hadn't tried before so I was looking forward to it. It felt like the kind of drink you have on a hot summer day. Similar to a mojito, but with good sherry as the base alcohol instead of rum. As a side note, I think it's an incredibly clever to create a cocktail menu around sherry when you have a beer and wine license. Using a fortified wine? Brilliant. But after my experience here today, I know that brilliance is in every brick of that space. If you were like me and haven't made the trip to this spot on the corner of Hope and Rochambeau, please fix that ASAP! I can't wait to go back, and bring all my friends and family here so they can share in what I enjoyed today. Just an incredible meal and service.

Still would get again. They say they have a 1 hour seating time, so we were a little worried when we got there at 10:30 for our reservation but didn't get seated till 10:40. However we did end up finishing within the hour - I'm not totally sure how strict they are about that rule. They also have the kitchen right where you wait to get seated, which just added to the hunger and anticipation

My ONLY issue, call it a pompous peeve, was with the soup bowls. They used a bowl with a very large flat surfaced rim bowl. Soup would pool on the lip and kind of made you aggravated. Ha ha ha. But all in all this was a solid meal and prices not too crazy for a hotel spot! .

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.

Nate was excellent, as was the supporting staff. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy our cocktails while we looked over the menu. The Fiori Rosa Spritz was terrific, as was the smoked 'Mericano. We thoroughly enjoyed the bread with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a garlic clove big enough to choke a horse! The shrimp cocktail was also excellent, especially with real horseradish on top of the cocktail sauce. My Montepulciano d'Abruzzo complemented the Rigatoni alla Bolognese perfectly. The sauce was flavorful without being overpowering, allowing all the flavors and textures to come through. The Cavatelli Rustici was also very good and satisfying enough that it didn't need an added protein. We finished with decaf cappuccinos and shared the warm Old Fashioned Butter Cake--a delightful ending to a wonderful meal. The people seated around us were friendly and engaged us in conversation, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Basta. Even though we're only visiting for a few more weeks, we'll gladly bump another restaurant off our must-try list to make room for a return visit. We will definitely be back!
