    Great experience at Tartufo. Our food was delicious. Limoncello cake, with its vibrant lemon essence and elegant complexity, has emerged as a standout dessert to complete our dining experience. Will be back.

    As usual, a great meal thoughtfully prepared. The Valentine’s Day menu included 3 shared appetizers, a choice of 3 entrees and a choice of 2 desserts. The food is always creative and interesting- not the standard boring fare at other places. Service was attentive even though they were very busy. Always at the top of our list.

    We had a Valentine’s Day dinner, which was wonderful: attentive service from Ann, and all the food was delicious. One thing we really appreciated was not feeling rushed — sometimes you can go to a restaurant and the food is good but you are spending lots of money, and you’re finished in an hour! Not the case here. Definitely recommend Il Capriccio.

     this is a very comfortable restaurant and it has excellent food. My husband and I went for an early Valentines dinner. We like to avoid the crowds on the 14th. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We made a reservation and were seated promptly . We shared the eggplant appetizer. I had the paparadelle with porcini and truffle mushrooms. My husband had the house special with scallops and shrimp with pasta and vodka sauce. Everything we ordered was outstanding.
