Il Capriccio serves a constantly changing Northern Italian menu featuring local products with an award winning Italian wine and Grappa list. Though long considered a local secret, Il Capriccio has been the number one Northern Italian restaurant in Zagat's for the past seven years. The wine list has been featured in Decanter, Sante, Wine & Spirits and Stuff. The same menu is served in the Bar. We like to serve great food and great wine in a comfortable setting.

We also have a patio for al fresco dining, reservable by phone only, weather dependent.

This is an exceptional restaurant. We had a really great server named Sonny. They only do lunch during December. It was a real treat to do this meal in the middle of the day. The price tag for two people was astronomical, however. (They offered us a 60 ounce Japanese Wagyu tomahawk steak for $650, for example. We passed.). That being said, in the end, it was well worth the price in my opinion.
