Continues to be the best of the best! I have enjoyed this experience for over 40 years and have never been disappointed.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, Il Capriccio...this Italian gem, swept us into an experience that felt both timeless and transcendent. The ambiance was warm and inviting — dim lighting, elegant décor, and the gentle hum of satisfied diners made it clear this wasn't just dinner, it was an occasion. Every dish was a masterpiece. The flavors were layered, bold yet balanced, with fresh ingredients that tasted like they'd just been picked that morning. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauces rich and deeply satisfying, and each bite felt like a celebration of Italy's culinary heritage. The antipasti, main courses, and desserts weren't just delicious — they were memorable. Beyond the extraordinary food, the service was impeccable — attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about every wine and every dish, and genuinely passionate about creating the best possible experience for us. What sets Il Capriccio apart isn't just a great meal — it's the emotion behind every element: the care in presentation, the harmony of flavors, and the effortless fusion of tradition and creativity. This is, without question, the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. A visit here isn't just dinner — it's a culinary journey that I'll be talking about for years. Highly, highly recommended!

Only gets better with time. Jan 2026 • Family Still remaining one of the top best Italian restaurants around. The stellar staff customer service is amazing. The ambiance, decor and most gracious familial atmosphere is refreshing. The food is superb as always. We were seated in the private round dome room which is magical. Salvatore and his crew served us with grace, kindness and humor. Bravo!!!

Hands down the best Italian restaurant in New Jersey, best food, best service, best ambiance. Had two specials, a string bean with cherry tomatoes salad, and a chicken stuffed with cortina cheese, both superb. Double espresso hot and strong. My three guests and I shared two bottles of an Amarone, excellent. Not cheap but you most certainly get what you pay for. This visit did not use the bar, but it is gorgeous with a back lit onyx counter, great place before or after the meal.

Gorgeous dining room, delicious food, friendly service, and the chef comes out to greet the tables and carry a conversation with the guests. How lovely! We had such a wonderful time celebrating our friend's birthday. Thank you all! And we will be back 😊

We waren hier voor ons 4 jarig huwelijksjubileum. De aandacht was perfect net als het eten. Fijne sfeer en een prima locatie om met je geliefde een jubileum te vieren (of gewoon te gaan eten). Een aanrader!

We went to il capriccio for my birthday dinner. Everything was perfect...the food, the service and the piano music. I could not have asked for a nicer evening at my favorite restaurant.
Marjorie
Initial service was great until a party of 8 men was seated and the wait staff directed all of their attention to this table. Had to wait 30 minutes to get someone's attention to get our bill. Food was great but the lack of attention spoiled the experience.

My favorite true Italian restaurant. Great food, old world service and the ambiance is like being in Italy. Don't miss this place. We continue to go back time and time again. Well done.
Teresa was wonderful to work with in preparing an assortment of Italian cookies for my rehearsal dinner. She made the process so easy, and the cookies were an absolute hit. Not a single crumb was left by the end of the night. Highly recommend Teresa’s Biscotti!

This restaurant is top shelf. A very professional and personal staff, whose attention to detail impressed us very much. The food was delicious, excellently prepared and presented. This could be our new favorite place to dine. Wish we had found it long ago.

The food choices and selection are absolutely amazing, everything we had from start to finish was made very well and had a ton of flavor, the interior was very classic Italian restaurant, not my cup of tea but something I'd easily deal with to eat here again Can't make a bad choice on the menu
Howard
Delicious meal. Seafood was perfectly prepared. Not inexpensive but great value considering the quality of the meal.

Il Capriccio is outstanding. I have been there very often over the past 20 years, and the service and food is always excellent. On my most recent trip I took two colleagues from out of town and they both told me that I set the bar high, and the restaurant still exceeded expectations
