I went to this Italian restaurant with some friends and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything we ordered was spot on. The carpaccio as an entrée was easily the highlight — fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The octopus was also incredible — tender, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. We also shared a couple of pizzas, and they were excellent — thin, crispy base with just the right amount of toppings. Overall, such a great dining experience! Authentic food, friendly service, and amazing flavors. Highly recommend! 🇮🇹🍷🍕

One of the better Italian restaurants in Sydney. The beef entree and squid entree were delicious. Recommend the beef entree. Ordered the squid ink pasta, beef fettuccine and a sausage pizza. The squid ink pasta was the better tasting of the main. Pizza was good but not the best I’ve had in Sydney. The ambience was lovely and so was the service. I would think the issue was the price as it’s pushed my tastebud expectations higher.

Came here for dinner with some friends on Friday night. The restaurant was packed, so recommend to make a booking to avoid disappointment. Service was quick, but most importantly everything was tasty. The highlight of our feast were the Octopus with Nduja Butter, the Beef Carpaccio, Carbonara Pizza and Saffron Fettuccine. We will come back again for sure.

We sat outside for Father’s Day lunch and enjoyed authentic Italian. Perfect portion sizes, we enjoyed the prawn pasta and the porchetta had perfectly balanced flavours. Our one year old found the sun irritating and they were so accommodating in opening up an umbrella for us. We loved the service there and the atmosphere. We plan on returning for more comforting Italian cuisine.

Capriccio Osteria delivered an amazing dining experience. The squid ink pasta was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, while the Amalfi pizza was outstanding with its light, crisp base and fresh toppings. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that feels both lively and cozy, making it a great place for a night out. To top it off, the staff were warm and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian with excellent service
