A lovely dining experience. the weather was very nice so we decided to sit outside. It is secluded, even though it’s in a strip mall, which makes it really appealing during the nicer weather to be there. The service was outstanding, and the food was cooked to perfection. The servings are generous, and the staff is very gracious. I can’t wait to go back again.

This was our first time at Il Capriccio, and the entire experience was excellent. The service was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our server, Mathew was terrific. He made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal, and also that we could dine at our own pace. We enjoyed our calimari and shrimp appetizers. Our entrees, the rack of lamb, and an octopus ragu over freshly. made linguine, were both delicious. We would definitely dine here again.
