    Excellent choice tonight. I felt a bit curious today and decided to go out on a limb and try something out of the ordinary. Great service, great atmosphere, great salad dressing, I’ll be back! This place is a hidden Gem. Glad to experience this place with my family. Great job, I see why they have been around over 36 years.

    My second time there. First time I went, I met some really cool local people frequent the restaurant regularly, they shared how much they love going there and how many years they been going. Had such a nice time the first time I decided to go again. And again, I met more local regulars, and everyone made me feel so welcomed. There is a live pianist who is amazing, the both times went was on a Saturday. And he was playing. I'm not sure all they days he is there. If I had to guess, probably Fri and Sat. But you'll need to confirm that with the restaurant. The food was amazing as well. I was at the bar area...were I prefer to be since I normally dine solo, this way I get to mingle with others around me. Definitely a place to wine and dine your partner, or if you are like me, wine and dine yourself... lol

    Excellent all the way around!!! Food was exquisite, tasty, delicious, simple, and visually appealing. Appetizers were saucy and rich in flavor. Warm food arrived at the table in a timely manner. The steak, as the main course, was juicy, buttery, and tender. Chicken was soft and juicy. Vegetables medley was zesty, fresh, and tasty. Potatoes were baked to perfection. Dessert blew our taste buds away. The service our waitress Fran provided was above and beyond. Proud owner who's in his business and is well known to those frequent flyers. It was nice to see him converse with guests and make this a family environment. Ambiance varied by dining rooms, pick your ambiance: from dining hall bar to main room dining amongst other options.

    Delicious food and attentive service! Live piano player knew all our favorites for the 80's. 🎶 Fran is very polite and engaging. The roasted octopus appetizer serving was generous enough to be an entree. My seabass with creamy seafood sauce was fabulous 👌 I especially enjoyed the pistachio cake with pistachio cream 😋 I highly recommend this establishment!

    Amazing service and quality food! The grilled chicken with balsamic fig glaze is excellent and the strawberry napoleon is incredible. I don’t think I have experienced this level of service or kindness by a restaurant staff. Incredibly attentive and sincere!

    Well today is my birthday and I was looking for a good and authentic Italian restaurant until I found the right one. It has a traditional and cozy touch, as for the service of the waitress (simi) she brought us a basket of fresh focaccia just baked, she very kindly explained the dishes on the menu to start with, the lobster brisquet caught my attention, it is a creamy soup lobster that was very delicious, then we ordered the main dish, it was seafood rissotto that was very delicious. The waitress brought me a delicious dessert that was tiramisu, definitely a quality pass. I recommend this place.

    We were celebrating a girl's night out. We all had a great time. I made the reservations. I used the website. This was fast, easy, and smooth. I then got an email confirming the date, time, and restaurant policy. The date of the vent. We got seated right away. We had no wait time. I was glad I reserved a table because there was a line wanting to get in. The restaurant is nice. I found it romantic. They had a singer performing. He sang classic songs. We enjoyed his voice. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms. We all loved it. I recommend getting it. I order the chicken dish with a side of penne Alla Vodka. I liked the dish. the vodka sauce is a must-try here. The food here is excellent. It is delicious. For dessert, we had a tray of different desserts. My favorite one was the pistachio cake. That was one good cake. The service was a little slow but the atmosphere was great and pleasant so it did not matter to me. Our waiter had a personality. He was a character that kept us laughing and having a good time. I recommend the place to anyone.

    This place was surprisingly amazing! When you step in the restaurant you literally feel like you're transported to Italy and I have been to Italy 3 times. The food is amazing, the staff attentive, the vibe is great. I highly recommend this restaurant. I and my family have been to Capriccio twice already and we have been happy both times.

    My Italian teacher told me years ago that the staff here speaks Italian so I always wanted to try it. I was so happy with this decision as we got a seat close to the pianist which was amazing and played old Italian songs to Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Frankie Valley. Stevie wonder, and more. Thankfully we made a reservation in advance as the couple in front of us had to be turned away. We ordered the Artichoke app, Veal Mediterranean, and Lobster Termidor which were all amazing! The ambiance, the Food, the company, this place has it all! I even booked a reservation for a customer that's new in town for Valentines day that they were almost fully booked for. I'll be back and highly recommend you try this Italian Gem! Why back for mom's birthday and added some more photos below.

    Great restaurant with amazing service! Our waiter Michael was very attentive, but not overly. Which is great to allow my Bf and I to enjoy the ambiance and each other’s company. Michael made excellent recommendations that were on point. We did arrive late before closing time and still enjoyed the pianist and great customer service. We look forward to bringing our family and friends to join us here next time we dine out for authentic Italian cuisine.

    Capriccio’s is the best! 100 Stars out of Five! We can not thank the owners and team of Capriccio’s enough for everything they did to help us with our wedding, it was a very special night. for sure our best decision ever to choose Capriccio’s for our Wedding venue. All my Vendors and every single guest were impressed with the elegance of the banquet room, the food, the quality of the drinks and the service their team provided. We can not say enough of the team that attended our wedding, very profesional, dressed elegant and attended Spanish and English speaking guests with professionalism. What can we say about their food, the bride is Cuban and the groom American and choose to serve Italian food because they are the best, not every place will serve you the variety of delicious appetizers, great quality drinks and a five course meal to remember for a long time. The Elegance of the restaurant and banquet room are Magazine worthy, all our pictures came out gorgeous! We all had a a great experience and the best time, I will for sure recommend Capriccio's to anyone who is looking for a banquet room for any event, l and will definitely continue recommending Capriccio’s to all my friends and will stop by for dinner every time we are in town.

    Wow!! My friends and I were thoroughly impressed by this restaurant! The service was amazing and the food was very tasty. They quickly accommodated our party of 8 at the last minute. Mauricio and DJ went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. They were very friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend visiting this place ❤️

    Transported to old world Italy in an instant. You’d never know what a great restaurant this is by looking at the shopping center it’s in. The food is to die for and the service is fine dining so relax. Pricey for sure but worth the way your taste buds will explode with delight. Fantastic for a special occasion like an anniversary or big birthday. And don’t miss out on the lounge with live music on the weekends. Older crowd but enjoyed by all. Enjoy.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Capriccio Ristorante in Pembroke Pines, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. This five-star restaurant, which has been serving patrons since 1987, exudes a wonderful atmosphere that instantly transports you to a place of elegance and charm. Capriccio Ristorante in Pembroke is a true gem. With its long-standing reputation as a five-star establishment, it continues to impress with its outstanding service, delightful ambiance, and, most importantly, incredible food. Whether you're a fan of classic Italian dishes or looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their culinary delights.

  • 4/5 Analia G. 1 year ago on Google
    We wanted good Italian and that is what we got. The red sauce selections were amazing, especially the eggplant appetizer. I can’t wait to eat that again! The place is very large with each space giving a different vibe. Had we known this, we would have asked for the room with the piano player. The bar room was also nice with a big screen TV the night we were there. I wish we had more room to eat more food. It was delicious and service was perfect.

    We had an incredible experience. Recommended by a co-worker, it was the perfect place to celebrate my aunt's birthday. The menu was outstanding, service top-notch, and the Italian staff was super friendly. Shout out to Giuseppe! The atmosphere, decorations, and food transported me back to Italy! 🇮🇹 The pianist's friendliness and the extra birthday tiramisu made it even more special 🥳 A big thanks for an amazing evening! 🤩

    We were going to a concert at Hard Rock and we decided to have an early and then go to the concert. We picked Capriccio not only because of the rating but also because it’s less than 10 minutes away from Hard Rock. We were not disappointed, the food was delicious, well presented and the portion was right. We pared our dinner with an excellent wine suggested by the server. Atmosphere is relaxed, nicely dressed table. Good experience! We will definitely go back

    Yesterday was my first experience dining here, and what an enjoyable experience it was. Our server, Michael, gave us 5 star service with his recommendations, his prompt service, and his wonderful personality. The food was spot on when it came to taste and temperature. The ambiance was what you would expect and what everyone deserves from a fine dining experience with its dimly lit dining room and live music. The lighting and volume were just perfect to set the mood for a romantic or even just a relaxing dinner. The whole staff was attentive to all the guests and never missed an opportunity to impress. I Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the mood for Italian or even for just a nice drink at the bar. I am very impressed with this restaurant and will definitely dine in again in the very near future. We were made to feel like family.

    Went for a date night with my friend. We were seated right away in the middle salon where the bar is. Michele was our server , he was friendly. We got pino and moscato, both delicious. And for food chicken parm (my friend asked for everything on the side), I had the penne de mare in vodka sauce IT WAS DELICIOUS!! Everything was great , first time going and definitely coming back!

  • 5/5 Nina K. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my first time at this restaurant. It was Father’s Day and we had honestly forgotten that some restaurants might close early. We just wanted good Italian food for my friend’s birthday dinner. We got there at 9pm and were seated right away. There was a tray on our table and as it was being removed, they apologized for it being there since they were supposed to be closing at 9pm but that it was no issue and they were happy to seat us. We attempted to leave since we didn’t want to be rude but they insisted we stay and eat. That it was no trouble. We were very very grateful. Michael was our server and he was fantastic. My friend and I were ready to order what we’d usually order but he talked us into getting two of the specials. I’m so glad he did because they were seriously so freaking delicious. The short rib ravioli is something I’d absolutely order again. The 16oz ribeye was cooked to perfection. It was such a filling dinner that we didn’t have space for dessert. It was a phenomenal experience. Michael was so personable and easy to talk to. He was also appropriately attentive. It was definitely 5/5 service

    Incredible dining experience. Not fond of the gentleman who would bring us our food. If we asked him for anything like utensils or sauce, he'd say "no, ask your waiter" multiple times. Other than that, again... incredible food and service by our waitress, beautiful and inviting atmosphere. The dishes are worth every single dollar. Would recommend, can't wait to visit again. Amazing, amazing, AMAZING!!
