Capriccio combines the best of South Australia’s fresh produce with both traditional and modern gastronomy to deliver a heart-warming dining experience at the shores of Glenelg.
Our unique combination of quintessential Italian and modern dishes will show you why Capriccio continues to win those in search of great food, after 40 years in business.
Relax and dine amongst carnival masks and paintings while we welcome you to our little authentic slice of Italy.
“At Capriccio, we know and respect that sometimes being old-fashioned – especially when it comes to cooking – is not a bad thing. It’s the reason we’ve been known as an icon in Glenelg since 1980. Esterina and I have over 40 years’ experience running the kind of restaurant we’d want to eat at.
We’re proud of our heritage, and Esterina’s parent’s legacy – Paganas Italian Restaurant. Paganas had the honour of a featured write up in Vogue magazine, which was very rare for a restaurant.
Today, Capriccio upholds the tradition of a genuine Italian restaurant, focusing on good service, good food and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Let our family serve yours the food we’ve always loved – straight from the heart.”
– Francesco Scuteri

GOOD Based on 279 reviews SAGAR2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The spaghetti carbonara here is incredible! The sauce is creamy, the pasta is perfectly cooked, and the bacon adds the perfect crispy touch. Absolutely delicious! On top of that, our waitress was amazing—so friendly, attentive, and made the whole dining experience even more special. Great food and even better service! Can’t wait to come back. Lauren E2025-02-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A quiet little restaurant on a side street. Away from the bustling noise, this beautiful restaurant provides professional table service, a bunch of convo and laughs and QUICK FOOD! The arancini balls are divine, lightly coated and cooked to perfection with cheese and peas and a napolitana sauce - and the spaghetti carbonara was the most authentic, delicious I have had in many years. Unfortunately after eating those Arancini balls I couldn't finish the meal, but no problem- Takeaway bag! We were blessed to meet Mercò at this place and heard some words of wisdom and stories of his past, it was lovely to feel so acquainted and personal as soon as we were seated by him. Cannot wait to bring my family who visit from WA, to Capriccio's! ❤️❤️ Helen Fois2025-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This authentic Italian gem is exactly what we were looking for when we craved some pasta and vino on our visit to Glenelg SA. You just never know what’s hiding in the side suburban streets. The only reason we saw this was because it happened to be in the same street as our AirBNB. So glad we tried it. Got our pasta fix and it was just yummy 😋 I had the homemade ravioli and my husband had the spaghetti marinara, both were tasty and full of flavour. The service was prompt and friendly. Owned by an Italian family for 30 years I can’t believe this was the first time we came across it. Will definitely go back on our next visit.
