Capriccio

Tucked off the Glenelg bustle on Sussex Street, this multi-decade institution serves hearty, old-school Italian cooking with linen-tablecloth ease. The dining room runs at an unhurried, European pace where servers trade witty banter and dishes land without pretension. Regulars steer straight toward plates piled high with spaghetti marinara, tender scaloppine, and baked lasagne that tastes like someone’s nonna spent all morning by the stove. Pour a glass of red, settle into the generous booth seating, and wrap up with house tiramisu or a chilled lemoncello.
