Editorial Review for Il Capriccio on Vermont – by Amanda Hawk
The Scene
Burnished orange walls and soft lighting create a cozy Tuscan feel, while attentive service and a long open kitchen add to the familial air. A loyal weekend crowd ups the volume level; for a quieter dining experience, visit during the week when the feel is more laid-back.
The Food
This is the place for authentic fare; no fussy "Cal-Italian" tampering gets in the way here. Start with eggplant and roasted pepper terrine, refreshing and flavorful, or calamari Livorno, sauteed in zesty tomato sauce. Pasta selections are faithfully prepared; penne arrabiatta arrives perfectly al dente and with plenty of kick. Meat and fish offerings are also strong. Particularly notable is the special roast pork, tender and extremely flavorful. Desserts are hit-or-miss. A well-prepared creme brulee hits the spot, but tiramisu should be avoided at all costs. House wines are available, but feel free to bring your own--the staff will accommodate.

Nice homey restaurant; Great selection of pastas - ask to cook it al dente and you will get it al dente; Arugula & Radicchio Salad says with Parmiggiano on the menu but came with Pecorino instead; Inside the restaurant it gets really, really dark, as in I can't see the food well dark...;very good service; $2.50 Valet parking on the back. 3 persons: 2 Appetizers, 2 pastas, 1 Entree, 1 Bottle of Chianti $130 w/tip.
Pros: Reasonable priced - Good Pastas - Service
Cons: Interior too dark at night; replaced ingredients without telling.

Went here for lunch. The past was really good and they had some nicely priced deals for lunch. The patio seating was decent and all around it was a good experience.
Pros: Good food, decent lunch specials
Cons: Parking
