The Scene
Push through Cafe Capriccio's unobtrusive entrance and you'll find hidden treasure in the form of original recipes and an eclectic take on Northern Italian cuisine. Dine at a booth in the bar or in the comfortable dining room. The servers aren't shy about sharing opinions on chef-owner Jim Rua's cooking, an experience that makes this the preferred hangout for artists, politicians and everyday joes.

The Food
Start with cheese or meat ensalata appetizers and move on to a main course of meat, fish or risotto. Homemade ravioli changes daily and pasta sauces range from simple garlic and olive oil to classic reds. Try the grilled and roasted leg of lamb served with a light tomato sauce and four cheeses: Your taste buds will thank you.
