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 300 reviews Elliot Shaw2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic family run authentic Italian cuisine in the heart ❤️ of Glenelg & well priced too, what more could you want Steve Prisco2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. True Italian. A large menu selection in a quaint little 70s style dining area. Terrific food. It's probably the best seaside Italian in the state. All that's missing is red and white checkered tablecloths and Al Pacino. Can't add much more. Callum Elder2025-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really nice traditional Italian food. Wife loves the pasta dishes and the serves are generous so she often gets to take some home. The salt and pepper prawns are my favourite just terrific.

Great staff and food Matt Hawkins2025-06-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful dining experience. Friendly staff, great atmosphere.

A beautifully family run restaurant. Anthony Bonomini2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant. Delightful people, they made space for us when we showed up unannounced. There were many options to wrestle with. I went with a simple lasagne and it was fabulous. We will fit in going back for another meal before we leave Adelaide.
