capriccio ristorante

My wife and I ate here last night with some friends who'd recommended it. Overall, I can't say the experience was worth the price that we paid.

I had the off-menu special which was four-cheese tortellini with steak. The actual tortellini were pretty good (though, just a touch salty; likely the sauce) and the sauce was a gorgonzola sauce that was also pretty good. My two main issues had to do with the steak, but from two different points. They asked me about the cook I wanted on the steak, so I asked for medium rare; the steak came out full-on well done. It was also cut into rather large pieces which made it awkward to eat with the tortellini. The second thing with the steak actually had to do with the price. When the waiter presented the specials, he said it was four-cheese tortellini WITH steak. As in, the steak is included in the cost of the dish. When I received the bill, I noticed I'd been charged an extra $12 for the steak (the actual tortellini were around $18). I honestly probably wouldn't have ordered it had I known there was a $12 price difference and it just seemed kind of scam-ish to me.

My wife had one of the other specials which was a halibut with a lemon cream sauce. The fish was dry and overcooked and the lemon sauce was extremely lemon-y (like, more than you'd expect a lemon sauce to be). I also think her dish was WAAAAYYYY overpriced, even considering that it was halibut (her dish was $44, which, to be fair, we didn't ask about before ordering). We also had a bottle of wine (around $28).

In the end, the total bill was something akin to $118 (this was for two entrees and a bottle of wine; with tip it was around $130). I definitely would rather have gone to the Preacher's Son or Atlas in Fayetteville for that kind of cost, especially when the food was overall just okay; not terrible, but not $130 good.

Great service and we both had some of the finest gnocchi I've had in a while. They were light, fluffy, and flavorful.

Food was great. However, my girlfriend pulled out her ID after ordering a drink, and our server told her to put the ID back because she is “obviously” older than her and well over 21. And this was on my girlfriend’s 25th birthday as well. Very tough start to the dinner unfortunately.

My ultimate favorite Italian restaurant! The owners are so sweet and kind! Carlos interned in Little Italy of New York. He also worked there. I am Italian and it is very difficult to find a good authentic Italian food restaurant. Capriccios is excellent! The waiters are always so friendly and nice. We love Alex and Oscar. I make my my own Italian cheesecake, however the cheesecake here is the best I ever had. They even make their own bread. Absolutely delicious! A must try, you won't be sorry!

The BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT in Northwest Arkansas. I am Italian, my dad grew up in little Italy In New York, and I spent more than a decade in New Jersey. Authentic. Others locally with a name ending in “…fina” and serve Pasta.. taste a lot like food service. (Good / decent food service, but not like it’s made from scratch).

White linen service. Impeccable.
