Capriccio combines the best of South Australia’s fresh produce with both traditional and modern gastronomy to deliver a heart-warming dining experience at the shores of Glenelg.
Our unique combination of quintessential Italian and modern dishes will show you why Capriccio continues to win those in search of great food, after 40 years in business.
Relax and dine amongst carnival masks and paintings while we welcome you to our little authentic slice of Italy.
“At Capriccio, we know and respect that sometimes being old-fashioned – especially when it comes to cooking – is not a bad thing. It’s the reason we’ve been known as an icon in Glenelg since 1980. Esterina and I have over 40 years’ experience running the kind of restaurant we’d want to eat at.
We’re proud of our heritage, and Esterina’s parent’s legacy – Paganas Italian Restaurant. Paganas had the honour of a featured write up in Vogue magazine, which was very rare for a restaurant.
Today, Capriccio upholds the tradition of a genuine Italian restaurant, focusing on good service, good food and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Let our family serve yours the food we’ve always loved – straight from the heart.”
– Francesco Scuteri

GOOD Based on 352 reviews Posted on Google Stéphane MAURINTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just wanted a nice Saturday night date (away from the kids 😜), and Capriccio absolutely delivered. The food had that beautiful home-style feel, the cocktails and wine were great, and everything was very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be coming back again. Booking is definitely a must on a Saturday night. The restaurant was packed, but that didn’t affect the service at all. It had a lovely family-friendly atmosphere, and for a couple of hours it honestly felt like we were overseas. We had a wonderful time. Thank you 😊Posted on Google Elliot ShawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
