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

My family is all from Italy so I always have high hopes for any italian restaurant. Fortunately Capriccio lived up to the talk of the town which is fantastic food with reasonable prices in a warm & cosy environment.
