Stopped in because I saw they served slices a d thought it was good. Stopped by late night and got a meatball parm panini - which intrigued me bc I never had that...was awesome with garlic oil that added a nice touch. Everyone who was there had fresh pies - New York style and Sicilian...even the Hawaiian pie looked read more

Food was amazing! The inside was decorated very nicely and the live music was perfect, not too loud not too quiet. Special shoutout to the servers as they were extremely attentive and kind. Their food recommendations were phenomenal. I took my grandma here a little over a week ago and I am now going to have my birthday dinner here with my entire family! read more

Experience elegant Italian food selections surrounded by a warm "little Italy" decor. Music is performed nightly and only enhanced the encounter. Note that although pricey at around $100 per person (which only includes apps, entrees, and adult beverages), I promise you will leave not only stuffed but completely satisfied. However, service was weak because of the extremely large crowd present on a friday night2222² read more

I felt compelled to leave this review. From the ambiance to the service to the food. I rarely claim excellence but this is so close to perfection. We ordered the lobster bisque- wow. Delish. Also, William made our first time absolutely amazing. So attentive! Definitely coming back! read more

Went back to give them a second try. I must say they really met all my expectations. The food was outstanding as usually however, the service this time was spot on. The waiter was always nearby and checking on us. One thing that stands out to me was we shared an appetizer and the waiter split it for us. It's the little things that make an excellent restaurant. Overall I'm so glad we returned. Looking forward to trying other items in the menu. read more

Capriccio's is a very solid four star restaurant. I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. This is her favorite restaurant. There were six of us. The service was outstanding. We shared meatballs and tomato caprese. I enjoyed the meatballs. They were a good size and had agreat flavor. I only had one tomato caprese. I don't care for this but must say the tomato was very ripe and tasty. The penne was good but I wish there was more sauce because it tasted so good. My side salad was good. The vegetables were very fresh. I also liked the dressing. My chicken francese was very large. The interesting part is I did not eat much because I didn't like it that much at the time. I ended up bring most of it home and really enjoyed it the next day. Funny how that happens. The potatoes were nothing special. The broccoli was what you would expect. My friend loved her salmon. It looked really good. The chocolate cake was good and it tastes better than what my photo looks like. This is a classy restaurant to have a celebration. It is good food at a fair price. No wonder it has been here for so long. read more

This is one of those places that when you walk in you are transported to little Italy in suburban broward county. Every time we come here, it feels so comfy, cozy and warm. We don't come that often but we have been sooooo many times and it's always so consistent. The live music, the different feel in every one of their rooms, it's just a great place to enjoy a family meal around the table. Side note, we threw my hubby a surprise 40th here 3 years ago in the private wine room and not only was everyone blown away by the food but the service is absolutely impeccable !!!!!!! And by the way, it's always chicken parm for me. I don't even pick up the menu (comes with a delish side salad too) read more

Capriccio Ristorante - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

Ridiculously good Italian restaurant with amazing service. Mario runs this place right.

The restaurant is nice. The decorations are okay, but the environment is really set with the live music (piano and violin). The place was great for date night, but it also had a family feel to it too. I personally went with two girl friends, and we had a great time! The food was delicious. They bring free Focaccia bread to the table. It also comes with a sun dried tomato paste, but the bread was so tasty. It didn't need the paste. I did wish they had olive oil at the table for the bread. I am sure if I asked for some I could get it. The pasta was delicious. The baby shrimp and mushrooms were plentiful and the best part of the pasta. And, you can never go wrong with a tiramisu. One of my friends described it as a deconstructed tiramisu. Our waiter was super friendly and funny. We had a miscommunication on my wine, and he corrected it with no issue. read more

I certainly owe more pics for this review but I was so involved in my wonderful moment it completely slipped my mind! My family and I have frequently visited Capriccio every time it was an enjoyable time but last night there was magic in the air! The restaurant has several different vibes to experience, last night specifically we were at the lounge side. You have an option to sit at the bar or a table. A wonderful live piano player and fantastic service! Food was delish and plentiful. Can't wait to come back! read more

Capriccio Ristorante - Grey Goose Martini - Italian Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

We hosted a large family gathering here to celebrate my sister's engagement. Unfortunately, the service felt rushed from the start. Within about 30 seconds of sitting down, the waiter asked if I was ready to order. I explained that I wasn't, yet he returned twice more within just a few minutes asking for the menu back. After the third attempt, I felt pressured to hand it over. Given that we were a group of over 20 people, it would have been reasonable to allow a few minutes for everyone to greet one another and get settled. Because of this, I ended up not ordering any food. I did try a few dishes from family members, which were decent, though the portions were on the smaller side. read more

Capriccio's is exactly what you hope for in a classic, family-style Italian restaurant. It's perfect for any occasion; date night, a family dinner, or even a business meeting. They offer a private room for more intimate gatherings, and the bar often features live music, which adds a great ambiance. The servers are warm, attentive, and truly knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, making the experience personal and elevated. A reliable go-to for delicious, authentic Italian food. read more

Capriccios staff once again made my wife's 80th birthday dinner a total success, right down to the tiramisu birthday cake, worth every penny. We frequent Capriccios at least twice a month and enjoy the staff completely, our last major event was 7 years ago at our 50th anniversary which was a total family event in the back room. God bless the staff and looking forward to many more events. read more

Capriccio Ristorante - Shrimp Scampi - Italian Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

EXCELLENT Italian restaurant. Like ones I used to go to in New York. Super authentic family atmosphere, lovely decor and very clean. the service is friendly. They had live music. The place was packed for thanksgiving but the locale is large enough to not feel squeezed in. The sea bass and salmon was amazing. Good portion and fresh food. Bonus the chocolate toffee moose for dessert was to die. Come hungry. This local place 100% does not disappoint. I will be returning. read more

Very disappointed. The restaurant is divided into 3 separate and distinct areas. The bar area is lit with a weird orange light that makes your food look an odd color, the main dining area that is packed so tightly that walking between tables to get to the restrooms is difficult, and a dining area that looks more like a banquet hall than a restaurant. Each area has live music playing different things at the same time. The food is excellent when it's done right, but several of our orders were done wrong. The meats were undercooked; we ordered the filet mignon medium and it came out nearly raw, and the NY strip we ordered well done came out medium. We also had lentils soup and pasta fagioli and both were delicious. The desserts were also amazing. The cocktails could be better and a Scotch (neat) I had after our meal was way under-poured; I'm sure it was less than a full once. The biggest disappointment by far was the service. We were celebrating a birthday and our server literally told us we had to order everything at once because they had 400 reservations and the restaurant owner said he had to get the tables served and out as fast as possible. Our server continued to voice the "400 reservations" theme throughout our dinner, which made us feel like we had to eat and leave quickly. The prices are definitely on the high end, and we expected better service for the value. We were very disappointed. I don't recommend it and I won't be back. read more

Another date night in the books! This place is a hidden gem on the border of Hollywood and Pembroke pines. We got there right at 5pm for an early dinner so we were both starving...I did make reservations since a few people told me they do get pretty busy. I would say the dining room was bustling by mid-meal. The clientele are regulars and you can feel the amore in the air! Servers and guests would greet each other with hugs and recognition! It's old world Italy on the corner of University and Sheridan! Service Food This place was amazing all around...5 stars for both service and food... absolutely delicious!!! Be ready though as the price does match that quality! My husband and I each ordered an appetizer, three drinks, and entree and I had an espresso to top my meal. We easily spent $300 all in. We may not be able to come here all the time BUT it was so worth it and we will definitely be back. I would say this is a great place for a special occasion or if you can drop that kind of cash on the regular go for it. Capriccio caprese- super fresh and delicious Octopus carpaccio (not on the menu, it was a special) - my husband loved it! Fiocchi di pera - so yummy and rich! Signature shrimp scampi - my husband said it was unbelievable! Will definitely be back!!!! read more

The food was amazing and the ambiance really gave that classic old-school Italian restaurant feel. They even had a live performer, which added a nice touch to the experience. The drinks were absolutely fantastic, probably the best espresso martini I have ever had. My only issue was the service; it wasn't terrible, but it definitely could have been warmer and more welcoming. Overall though, still a good experience for the food and atmosphere, and I'd definitely return. read more

Went to this restaurant on Christmas Eve! We just love it! Excellent experience, from the delicious Italian food to the waiter which was one of the best service I have gotten. Lovely decor, sat on a table close to a huge bar and beautiful chandelier.... I recommend ! The only thing I dislike some people attire, looks. Like they were going to mow there lawn! I feel dress code is needed. Even though I highly recommend!!! read more

I ate here once in...I think it was 1995. I live near here and really don't know why I haven't gone back. Well, tonight I did. We were sat in a very nice booth in the bar area. I have to say...there was a not great smell when we walked in. It dissipated but can't figure out what it was. Service was excellent. We got there before the music started and left right when it started. They have live music nightly which is nice. We were served bread with a red sort of sauce. Neither of us were a fan of the bread. It lacked flavor. The mussels with white wine sauce were delicious. J do wish they were bigger. We each had a side salad. This had a very tasty dressing and was fresh. My entree was delicious! It was the Penne Marie E Note. It is penne with a creamy vodka sauce and mushrooms. It comes with baby shrimp but I substituted that for grilled chicken. I like big shrimp!! Anyway, this was a HUGE portion. I took home half. He ordered the grilled chicken with balsamic glaze and roasted potatoes. I kept thinking the balsamic glaze was chocolate sauce. I tried it. It was ok. The potatoes were kind of good. We had tiramisu. It was very good. There are other entrees that sound good as well. Capriccio's has been in business since 1987. That is saying a lot because this area had not many houses back then. What a great restaurant all these years later. read more

Amazing restaurant. 10/10 recommends. Ambiance was beautiful and customer service was 10/10

Fran provided amazing service and was very perceptive in how to handle her difficult patrons( me). Took the heat and threw some curves back. Food was exceptional. Had lobster bisque in an Italian restaurant . Surprisingly very creamy, smooth and nice bits of lobster. Everyone agreed the food was well presented and tasted great. Very consistent and these people I ate with are regulars. Good service, great food and even had Carl on the keyboards at the bar. Great night for my daughter's 35th birthday. read more

This place is phenomenal. We took a gamble, tried somewhere new for Valentine's Day & had a wonderful experience! It's romantic & rustic with various seating areas, including a decadent bar that sits under a glamorous chandelier. We were sat & greeted by staff immediately. We didn't interact with a single employee there without being told "Happy Valentine's Day" at least once. Now to the food... The complimentary bread & salad were simple but so good/fresh. We had a bottle of Rodney Strong Merlot which was perfect & not too dry. For our entrees, I had Chicken Parmigiana & my boyfriend had Snapper Meuniere. My chicken breast was huge, perfectly cooked & topped with the perfect amount of cheese/marinara. My boyfriend also loved his food to my relief because he can be picky with sauces. Aside from the kitchen doing a great job, the servers were exceptional. Our wine & water glasses were always filled. We were checked on often by the two servers covering our area and numerous other staff members. In summary, this restaurant will be added to our rotation of favorites & will remain a go-to for special occasions! read more

Food is incredible. The service Professional, the ambience, romantic, and the music was good.

The ambiance is wonderful! With reservations seating immediate. The interior is well designed, clean & aroma of garlic with Italian food pervades. Service is spot on. They do there best even over a Holiday. On a recent Holiday we waited over an hour for our salad, then over an hour for our dinner. The dinner was not hot, very dry & unappetizing- this was the Chilean Sea Bass! My husband had a dry chicken cutlet with pasta. We left without the dessert I really wanted but probably not good that evening. Italian restaurants are numerous in Broward County! read more

I had to leave a second review because Michael has done it again! A year later He's still an absolute treasure, always funny and helpful with the menu. My boyfriend always gets the pear pasta (Fiocchi De Pera), which is top-tier. I usually try the specials, but the pear pasta is my go-to. The mozzarella and tomato appetizer is always a hit, and the complimentary bread and tomato sauce are yummy! We also had a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and they play live music too. Tonight, Michael suggested we add Italian bacon (panchetta) to our usual fiocchi di pera with chicken, and it was delicious! I honestly can't complain about the food, drinks, service, or scenery here. I added my receipt with the tip we wanted to give added in the pictures It's a win-win with a classic Italian vibe. Perfect for a first date or really good food with a boujie atmosphere and affordable prices. I definitely recommend and always will! read more

If you find yourself in Fort Lauderdale and craving Italian, treat your taste buds to this place. It was delicious. Staff were great. I wish I could remember our waitress name, she was just enough. Great recommendation, water glasses full, there when we needed her. Let talk food. No bread on the table, instead they dropped cheese, olives, flat bread, and bruschetta at the table. Not overly complicated, just good. The pear salad was AMAZING, I wanted to lick my plate. If you like sweet, savory, crunchy, fresh salad, order it. My husband has the fettuccine bolognese, more meat than pasta, perfect flavor. I have the cacio & pepe with lobster. I was full but I kept eating. Delish!!! Hubby said, the pour on his cocktail was nice. I totally forgot to take pictures. Love!!! read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday as a large group at this restaurant. The place has a semi rustic Italian ambiance, and there was live music (it was a Saturday evening). The waitstaff were kind and attentive, although it was a bit off putting when they kept speaking another language amongst themselves while tending our group. They have an extensive drink list (I tried It's About Time and the Blood Orange Margarita - my favorite was the latter). Their food is well plated - our table had several appetizers (calamari, polenta and lamb meatballs, caprese salad and prosciutto - due to food aversions I only tried the polenta and caprese salad and I can say everything tasted fresh). My meal was the pine nut and spinach stuffed chicken breast - the sauce and stuffing was amazing, but the chicken itself was a bit bland and dry. My husband's chicken parm was delicious and i can't say enough wonderful things about their sautéed broccoli. The food is pricey, but it's not a secret. This is a nice spot to have a romantic Italian meal with someone special. read more
