    Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

    The tradition continues!!🎉🎉Every December Richard and I have our anniversary dinner at Capriccio’s. This year we are a little late but it was well worth the wait. As always the dining room is absolutely gorgeous as it is decorated to the nines. We arrived and were seated in a prime location -right by the fireplace. A phone call earlier in the day assured us that we wound be able to secure two orders of their baccala salad for our appertizers. Richard ordered a bottle of Moet Chandon Imperial Rose and the evening was off to a fine start. As we enjoyed our first course, our waiter began to prepare our entrees tableside. Fettuccine Alfredo and Steak Diane. Both were prepared perfectly and the presentation was show worthy. Richard had the special for the evening-Alaskan cod with mango salsa and black lentils. A piece of cheesecake and coffee finished the meal perfectly. It was an evening of serenity, fantastic food and drink and love. Pure magic🪄.
