We dined here on a Saturday night for oir daughters 15th birthday. My wife and I have visited many times prior but this was oir daughters first. From the moment we walked in it was amazing. Very attentive staff. Aaron was oir waiter. He was very knowledgeable on the specials and other entrées available, even recommended a few choice cocktails. Food was top tier as always and the table side Alfredo my daughter ordered was the best she ever had she said. We recommend capricco to anyone who seeks a top dining experience.
