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.

Reviews for Capriccio Osteria

I recently dined at Capriccio Osteria and had a fantastic experience. The clam pasta was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. I also enjoyed their Aperol Spritz, which was refreshing and well-balanced. The pizza deserves a special mention too—authentic Italian style, with a perfect crust and fresh ingredients. The overall atmosphere and service were excellent, making it a great spot for anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine. Highly recommend!

Excellent. Food was wonderful (recommend the Octopus), upstairs seating by the window was great, waiter was excellent. 4 stars because one of the mains came out (not from our normal waiter) before we'd eaten half the entree (5-10 minutes afters entree served) and the other main came with still some entree left. Not ideal feeling rushed/seeing your food go cold. In the end we weren't being rushed, we had lots of time after that and were able to enjoy dessert etc. seemed like a timing mistake (unless this is normal practice?). Not ideal for us, for a quality meal we like to enjoy it and not feel rushed.

Fantastic Italian food in the middle of little Italy in Sydney. The special truffle menu is delicious and a must try especially since it is seasonal and only runs till September. Great cocktails and a good drinks menu. Lovely service and attentive staff. There is seating indoors and outdoors which was really nice on a warmish winter evening. And their homemade limoncello is excellent!!!

Went here on a Saturday night after seeing all the 5-star reviews, so we had high hopes. We sat outside, which was nice, and the staff were friendly and professional. We ordered an antipasto and two pizzas. I asked to swap out the artichokes on my pizza for mushrooms, but the waiter said it wasn’t possible. He said I could only choose from three extra toppings on the menu (like Italian sausage) and for an extra charge. That was a bit surprising. I even asked about adding onions, and he told me they didn’t have any! 🤔 So, I just asked them to skip the artichokes. It took about 40 minutes to get our pizzas to come out and honestly, they weren’t worth the wait. I’ve had way better pizzas around here. The ingredients were not Italian, and the dough was undercooked and kinda wet in the middle. Overall not a bad first experience but won’t go back!

I had an incredible dining experience at this Italian gem! The truffle set menu was absolutely delicious—every dish was packed with flavor and left us wanting more. The owner was so attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. We loved every moment and every bite. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Italian meal!
