Café Capriccio is a restaurant located in a historical neighborhood, celebrated for its old-school Italian setting and excellent food and service. This family-owned gem in downtown Albany has been a favorite for over 30 years, making it a great choice for special occasions. The restaurant provides exceptional meals, attentive staff, and a magical atmosphere, ensuring guests feel welcomed. Jim Rua, who oversees the establishment, plays a crucial role in maintaining its success. The cozy ground floor features beautiful natural wood paneling, booths, and an old-fashioned long wooden bar, where a skilled bartender crafts house specials like the luscious Pear Martini.
Guests often praise the friendly and engaging house staff, who work seamlessly to offer a wonderful dining experience. The menu includes appetizers such as House Special Stuffed Clams and Meatballs with Ricotta, served in a delicious homemade red sauce. For entrées, options like Chicken Sorrento and Tagliatelle with fresh imported Truffles are popular choices, often accompanied by a fine selection of wines. Desserts, including fresh-made Tiramisu, complete the meal perfectly. Although parking can be a concern in the neighborhood, many agree that the delightful food and atmosphere make Café Capriccio a must-visit destination in Albany.
