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

Riccio is Italian for curly, and boy did Capriccio throw us a curly one on Saturday night. Authentic Italian by the sea, very attentive staff, a simple and restrained menu and a lovely atmosphere. A lovely surprise at the bay. Will return and highly recommend you pay them a visit.Posted on Mark “Mark 63” HardyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a terrific evening. Large clothed tables, and room to move. The menu was extensive, interesting and tempting. I wanted it all! Great old fashioned service and the pricing I thought was spot on. We had veal , livers , pasta and more. I can highly recommend for an occasion on a mid week bite. What a gem. We will be backPosted on Leanne SuterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great little taste of Italy in Glenelg! Delicious food and lovely staff.
