    Capriccio is a fantastic location and environment. We went for a graduation dinner celebration and the food was spectacular. The service quality was such that our whole group mentioned it on the way out. I highly recommend this location for any special evening you may have.

    The menu is interesting, different, and there’s so many things you want to order on it you can’t decide which one to choose first. Everything we had was absolutely delicious, and our server Colleen was just lovely. We will be back!

    Took my wife and our two boys for Mother’s Day brunch, and overall everything was excellent. The only downside was that the service and wait times for food and drinks were a bit slow, but given how busy they were for Mother’s Day, it was completely understandable. It was our first time visiting, and we’ll definitely be back.
