Il Capriccio

A perfect bistro-like contemporary setting. My duck pappardelle was a bit interesting but the salad with figs hit the spot, and my friend said her lasagna bolognaise was wonderful. I ate more of the baked Alaska than I'd like to admit 😅

Amazing experience! The staff are welcoming, attentive, and made my anniversary special. They also gave wonderf recommendations for food and the meal was delicious! Highly recommend going here for special occasions.

.ore than just your typical red sauce haven. Extremely creative and tasty dishes go beyond the Italian cliches. Veal scalapini was layers of mushrooms, veal, Spinach and other ingredients.

If you are looking for an ever changing inspired Italian menu, with light and tasty food, you will enjoy Il Capriccio. Very few places around Boston match this level of quality. Wine list is inspired. And for those nights, very nice Virgin cocktails.

Excellent high end meal in Waltham. The mushroom souffle is a signature dish with great sauce. The Tuscan kale ceasar salad is likely the best kale salad I have ever had. The chicken schnitzel main is a bomb of flavor. Strong, attentive service from the staff.

We arrived greeted by a nice open and clean space. They drinks were good with goof Italian wines. The calamari portion was small and not that great. The Halibut was fresh, but not as favorable and cost $42. Service was prompt, but a sloppy being not as polished as a Boston restaurant. The dessert was good, but canollis are missing. Overall, staff need better training. Sauce and Food need to come up one notch. There are much better local places for the price such as The Chateau, Frattelis and Lucia's in Winchester.

We came here for our anniversary. It was an unplanned venue but they had availability at the last minute. We used to come to this restaurant at the previous location on Main and Prospect St. My memories of this restaurant was quite fond. Unfortunately, I cannot say my experience at the new location was good. The atmosphere and decor are great. The parking is fairly convenient; just wished that you can enter from the parking lot instead going to the front. The least impressive part of this restaurant is the food and value. The food portions are pretty small for the price. The food is just “ok”. There are many restaurants in a “lower” tier that are better. I would try other places before considering here, such as Fiorella’s in Newton or any place in North End. The service was a bit slow (they apparently forgot us). Once they knew we existed, the service was more prompt.

Keep in mind that other people in my party seemed to like what they got. The veal, one of the most expensive things on the menu had a strange taste. I love stinky cheese like Gorgonzola but perhaps this kind was not a good pairing. Next time go with the Bianco Gorgonzola DOP. the Apps were good including the mushroom thing and the tuna tar tar. Desert was ok.

We are frequent diners and last night NYE service was rushed and below par. Although the food was good we were rushed in and out on NYE in under an hour. Hoping this is a fluke but very disappointed

This place is very disappointing to someone who is from Italy like myself. I went there the other night with my girlfriend, hoping to get a good Italian male like they have advertised. It was all about that. I will say that the facilities is clean and very nice. The people were nice and polite. The service was decent, but our server had the personality of a field mouse and did not smile once. I have to say the Bolognese was excellent. But my girlfriend had the real scallopini and it tasted like it wasn’t fresh and it had been sitting around in the freezer for a while. We also ordered Appetizer. This was just an appetizer that was on their website that pictured Sabrosada, prosciutto, and cured sausage. It was anything, but that. You had cheap capicola and imported ham, and the rest of the meats did not meet fair quality I thought. For what they charge you for you could go find a better meal elsewhere twice. Not to mention, the menu is lame. They have more seafood dishes than anything. They should just label themselves as a Mediterranean restaurant or a seafood restaurant. Because this isn’t even close to what a real Italian restaurant is. I think these people need to take a trip to Italy and find out what real cuisine in Italy is like. I posted a review on open table and they responded with given my girlfriend a $100 gift certificate and stated that pictures on the Internet, he has no control of. Really? You have no control of what is on your website? That’s Ludacris! And a lie! Quite honestly you never get a second chance to make a first impression. I wouldn’t go back to this restaurant if you paid me and gave me a free meal. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anybody or any of my friends. There are so Many more better restaurants on that strip than this one. Don’t waste your time! This place is trying to be a knock off of the Capriccio’s in Providence. Well, I have some news for them, you’re not even close! You guys aren’t even in the ballpark! Like I said, don’t waste your time or money!
