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 celebrated my Mom’s 80th birthday here and rented out a room for the special occasion. We requested that the bartender create 2 special cocktails for the event, and both were delicious! The service was top-notch, and food was amazing! You have to try the mushroom souffle!
I am so grateful to the staff for giving my Mom a wonderful birthday celebration and look forward to many more meals there.

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.

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.

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!

We went to il Capriccio for my husband’s 70th birthday. We hadn’t been there since they changed locations. There are a couple main dining rooms, which are very homey, and a couple small dining rooms for small groups. The food was exceptional as always. The service top notch. They change menus monthly, with some items staying on perpetually. (The porcini dish was taken off the menu a couple times over the years, and customers complained so much that they put it back on – never to be removed again.)
My husband had the tuna tartar for his appetizer and the carbonara (with a poached egg on top) as a main. Our friend had the porcini souffle for the appetizer and the duck for her entre. I had the porcini souffle and the halibut. All dishes were excellent. It is always a 5-star experience.

We don’t go to il Capriccio very often simply because it is a fairly expensive restaurant. It is always a huge treat when we go. We look forward to it all week. The service is excellent. The wine selection extensive. The staff wine recommendations are always good to fall back on if the huge wine list is too daunting. The food is always perfect. Some of our favorites: porcini souffle (they’ve taken it off the menu a couple times but always have to put it back on because people complain so much); tuna tartar with warm homemade potato chips; gravlax with white anchovies; carbonara with a poached egg on top; the lamb and duck are always great; the chicken schinitzel; and a chocolate budino molten cake for desert. Five stars – always.

I had the pleasure of dining at IL Capriccio in Waltham, MA for our annual dinner, and it was an outstanding experience. Everything from the service to the food was impeccable. The highlight of the evening was definitely the soufflé di porcini; it was a culinary masterpiece! I highly recommend IL Capriccio for a delightful dining experience.

Always loved Il Capriccio’s food but never liked their ambiance/decor of previous location. Now with the new space down the street, it’s a much better experience, and their food was just delicious and beautifully plated. Sommelier Jan is always so informative and gracious!
