Reviews for Capriccio in Providence, RI
There's a reason a restaurant like Capriccio has been around so many years. We were at first a little skeptical - the ambiance... seemed a little old-world and the calamari was just OK. But then the entrees arrive - wow! The tenderloin risotto was amazing,and "The Captain" put on quite a show with the scampi. Wine selection is extensive, and we also enjoyed the desserts. It was alittle pricey but worth it. Service was excellent. We'll be back. Read more
The ambiance at Capriccios was nice; especially with loved ones. The consistency in quality of food left a little to be desired.... I would have expected every dish to be excellent at the price. The steak tip, veal parmesian, tiramisu and chicken alfredo werequality- while the crab linguini and cheesecake were lacking. The wine selection and choices were excellent. The service wasgood as well despite being a busy night. I would give it another shot but not before exploring other Italian restaurants in thearea first. Read more
Mario is a very fun Maître D. We have had a few experiences here, all were very pleasant. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts... were all great. They have a well organized wine list, and thoughtful presentations. My only suggestion to them is the perceptionof waiters, etc. Smoking cigarettes outside in the alleyway. It won’t prevent me from dining here in the future, but it’snoticeable enough to mention. Other than that, the atmosphere is truly great (especially decorations around Christmas time) Read more
The best high end Italian food in Providence and it isnt close. Ambience is top notch. Service is spectacular. There's really... nothing to critique. It's all excellent. If you're visiting Providence it's a must visit. Read more
Lovely place for an upscale meal. Each course was cooked perfectly and one of the best meals I've had in the area.
I came here for my birthday yesterday and wow what an experience. We had a reservation for 8:15 which is close to their closing... time but it didn’t feel that way as we were greeted with the same energy as if they had just opened. Our server, Dylan, wasthe best server I’ve ever had in a restaurant, seriously. If you have the privilege to be served by him you’ll leave therefeeling taken care of like your a member of the family. Everything was on point from the table setting to the drinks, food andeven dessert. Even though the kitchen was closing soon, everything came out perfect and on time. The atmosphere also made mefeel like I was in Goodfellas which is always a plus! If your considering a place to celebrate a special occasion or just getsome high quality Italian food, look no further then Capriccio. And ask for Dylan, you won’t be disappointed! Read more
We ordered six dishes, spend $200+ and all the food was bad. I have no idea how they have so many good ratings. Everything felt... under seasoned. The service was fine, but overall a total waste of money. Escargot had the taste of the grease left aftercooking duck, frog legs didn’t feel marinated, barley with the veal was too sweet, and the rest were simply not good. Read more
What a lovely place to have dinner with your family during the holidays. I came here with my sister and brother in law and we... had such a memorable time. The service was incredible as was the food and cocktails. Order the veal parmigiana. Great oldfashioned here as well! Special bonus for the atmosphere and holiday decorations. Def will be coming back! Read more
