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 342 reviews Posted on Adriana TsoleridisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family owned for 30 years, Capriccio is the kind of place that reminds you why simple, honest food will always win. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and authentic, like stepping into a nonni’s house. The food is delicious, genuine Italian flavors that don’t try to be trendy or overcomplicated. The service is just as impressive, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which adds to the whole experience. If you’re looking for an honest Italian restaurant, forget the modern, overstyled spots, this is where you want to be.Posted on Julie blaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Lovely restaurant nice and quiet fabulous food highly recommend!!!!Posted on HalehTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went to Capriccio last night and honestly loved the whole experience. From the second we walked in to being walked out with the door opened for us, the service was so friendly, welcoming, and the gentleman serving us was so funny too. The lady serving us was also amazing and so attentive. The food was just as good - so simple but with so many layers of flavour, exactly how Italian should be. We got three mains and garlic bread and every dish was incredible. We actually found this place after a disappointing experience at another Italian spot in Glenelg not long ago - walking back to our car we noticed Capriccio tucked away on Sussex St and knew we had to come back. So glad we did.
