Customer Reviews
It's in a tough part of town, we also got a flat due to the surrounding potholes be careful. The food was ok, It was very pricey compared to the quality and portions you receive. We went there for my fathers birthday and they charged to cut the cake and if you want to split the check it's not an option you have to split it amongst yourselves. It's small and in a basement but service was good a little snooty but ok. There are many other high end restaurants in Albany this personally was not one I would return to
Growing up in an Italian family, I am pretty picky about Italian American food. I must say, Cafe Capriccio is outstanding. The flavors they use are from various areas in Italy and I must say, some of them are hard to incorporate into dishes. They hit the nail on the head every time. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in the US. Way to go!
I was staying with friends in the area who said this was some of the best Italian in the capital—and it did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is very charming, with a cozy, old New York Italian feel: plenty of grandma-style clutter on the walls and romantic, dim lighting. Our servers were friendly, attentive, and never rushed us. They poured our wine professionally and were helpful when answering questions. We started with the meatballs and the grilled octopus. Both appetizers were well sized but not huge, just enough for 2–4 people to share. I don’t eat seafood, but I tried some of the beans that came with the octopus, and they were excellent. The meatballs were also impressive, especially for restaurant meatballs. For mains, my friend and I split the Duck Scarpariello and the Duck
This is the best restaurant around in my opinion. The food is always fresh where you actually feel better the next day after consuming. Service is always professional and efficient. Great for family meals, romantic dinners, parties, and fun Friday nights at the bar. The Chef's table is the best deal and experience around. Enjoy!!
I would give 5 stars across the board but regardless of how great of an experience I had everyone can improve somewhere. Food was great service was excellent atmosphere was impeccable. We will definitely be back.
