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 291 reviews Lisa Richardson2025-06-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great comfort food large serves. Great staff Rachel Lucas2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner, myself and my daughter attended for a dinner on Saturday night. The entrée' was ok, and main courses were excellent. I order the marinara Bianco and it was delicious but lacking in pasta. The linguini though was cooked perfectly, just wish there was more of it. The only real disappointment was the Chefs selection cheese plate which cost a whopping $40 and consisted of a few small slices of cheese, one of which was smoked cheese that can be bought at the local supermarket, and Ritz crackers, definitely not worth what we paid for it. This kind of spoilt what would have been a perfect experience. The waiter was friendly enough. Krystle Fielding2025-05-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Has quickly become one of my favourite authentic, old school Italian restaurants. I could not fault the Linguine Marinara in Bianco.. absolutely devine. The service was so warm & genuine, & the waiter had me in stitches laughing at his jokes & one liners, i would have loved to have taken him home in my pocket. A true little hidden gem 💎❤️ Thank you for a lovely evening with my love. :-) Kate Radovanovic2025-04-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We have been going to this restaurant for years whenever we are on holidays in Glenelg, it is authentic Italian food. Absolutely delicious. Staff are friendly and very accommodating Definitely recommend this restaurant when holidaying in Glenelg or Adelaide. JanosWalter12025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest Italian cooking in a comfortable atmosphere where a stroll along the Glenelg foreshore after a hearty meal is easily achievable. My spaghetti marina was very tasty while my wife loved the Sophia Loren chicken breast in brandy cream sauce! Recommend.
