Information
From the Restaurant

Summary: The SceneResidents of Waltham and the western suburbs have no need to head into the city when they have this top-shelf Italian restaurant (with free parking lot) so close to home. A steady stream of managers and VPs comes straight from nearby office parks to boisterously celebrate mergers and promotions in the earth-toned dining areas and handsome bar. Just as impressive as the acclaimed, never-ending wine list is the dutiful servers' familiarity with it.The FoodWhile the majority of Il Capriccio's menu changes monthly to reflect seasonal tastes and ingredients, several items are popular constants. The insanely rich porcini mushroom souffle, an amalgam of mushroom, Parmesan and butter, is not to be missed and should be shared. Expect light, homemade pasta dishes (available in half portions) like lobster and scallop lasagna with baby spinach. Finish with tangy lemon mousse or luscious white chocolate-hazelnut cheesecake.

Tips: Because this is a favorite of area corporations, reservations are essential, even on Mondays. Keep your cell phone turned off and out of sight, as they aren't allowed at the table. For large groups, the exemplary service comes at a price. Expect a 20-percent tip to be automatically added for parties of six or more. If there's a wait, grab a stool at the bar, where the entire dinner menu is served.

Il Capriccio serves a constantly changing Northern Italian menu featuring local products with an award winning Italian wine and Grappa list. Though long considered a local secret, Il Capriccio has been the number one Northern Italian restaurant in Zagat's for the past seven years. The wine list has been featured in Decanter, Sante, Wine & Spirits and Stuff. The same menu is served in the Bar. We like to serve great food and great wine in a comfortable setting.
