Capriccio Osteria has been serving authentic Italian food in Leichhardt with love and passion since 2015. The premier Italian restaurant of the inner west has been under the direction of restauranteur Michele Rispoli since its inception. Michele hails from Positano, a postcard town on Italy’s southern coast. He had a vision, bring the spirit of the Amalfi coast to Norton Street and create the finest Italian fine dining experience in Sydney. His commitment to authenticity and for delivering the best stems from three generations of hospitality running through his veins. From Vino to Focaccia, his extensive knowledge and passionate approach will always leave you ready for another round.

Reviews for Capriccio Osteria

We came for the truffle menu which was very affordable at $79 pp and featured a 5 course menu. All the courses were delicious and left me and my partner leaving satisfied and satisfied. Would definitely come back the next truffle season!

Gorgeous Italian food at the heart of Leichhardt. We returned for the truffle menu and everything was incredible. The only thing to note is that service was extremely slow this visit. While we understand given how busy it was, we waited ~40 minutes for each food item to come out.

We were after the Truffle menu set and it was great. The restaurant was a bit packed though and a bit of vibe. I did request for special arrangement for dessert by email/calling/talking to the staff on floor but unfortunately was not being noted so was disappointed with that.

Traditional wood-fire pizzas, warm & inviting ambiance (seated downstairs), and excellent service throughout - I highly recommend dining here, in the heart of Leichhardt! We were a group of six, and one of us had gluten-free dietary requirements - this restaurant offers gluten-free pizza & pasta options to suit, which was a plus. For traditional Italian cuisine in the inner west, a visit to Capriccio Osteria is a must!

We had a lovely dining experience at Capriccio Osteria on Norton Street. We started with the octopus, which was beautifully cooked—tender, smoky, and full of flavour. For mains, we shared a pasta dish and the carbonara pizza. The pizza was a standout: perfectly balanced, crispy yet airy base, with rich, comforting flavours that hit all the right notes. The pasta, while enjoyable, felt like it needed just a bit more body and oomph to elevate it to the same level as the other two dishes. A touch more depth in the sauce or seasoning could have made all the difference. That said, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. We’ll definitely be back—especially for that pizza and octopus!
