This is my favorite place of all time... Plus valet is only $2.50... Try the Penne Gorgonzola (think it may be called Pomdero secco or something)
On Thursday nights starting around 8pm/8:30pm they have someone come around doing magic tricks (may sound cheesy but this guy it extremely good!!!)
Pros: inexpensive, great meals, amazing bread
Cons: if you sit inside the steam from the kitchen can get annoying

It's hard to find good italian food. Extremely difficult. However, a friend of mine turned me on to Il Capriccio and I am a now a full-on convert. It's the place to get great food for a reasonable price. The pasta is home made and everything always tastes fresh. Fantastic olive tapenade and bread. And I always tend to go with the lasagna which is a huge so I can always take the leftovers home for lunch the next day. I recommend this place to anyone who likes good food and might not want to throw down a huge chunk of cash.

I enjoy going to Il Capriccio on occasion. The food is very nice, and the restaurant is cute. The menu is nothing too special or innovative, it is classic upscale Italian fare. That said, they do that quite well.
And although the restaurant is usually crowded, somehow there never seems to be an insane wait for a table. If you're in the mood for a nice Italian place, this is a good choice.

In hip Los Feliz, Il Capriccio is one of our favorite dining spots. It's cozy and staff is warm and friendly. Honestly, we have never had a bad meal there.I love their Pollo Piccata and Capellini Alla Checca (angel hair pasta with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil). My friend loves their Rigatoni Norcina with mushrooms and ground Italian sausage. Great little place and quite popular too. Best to call for a reservation for dining after 7pm.

La Buca on Melrose was full so i had to pick a new italian restaurant for the evening, so i figured i would try this place. I called ahead and asked how long the wait was and he said half an hour. I showed up and the host was very cold and not glad to have customers there. He said " I can put your name on the list, but you better be here or your table is being given away" I thought to myself...where am i going to go? He was just RUDE!!! So i went across the street to The Vermont and had one of the best meals of my life!!! The food here may or may not be good, but as far as im concerned it doesnt matter!!! They have a corkage fee too, something ridiculous like 10$! Dont waste your time!!!
Pros: You can quickly run to The Vermont across the street!!!
Cons: The Rude old guy that seats people

I l-o-v-e LOVE Il Capriccio! My fiance and I have eaten there almost once a month since our first date at Il Cap nearly two years ago. Super friendly and attentive staff and managers... and we love Mama Flora! Choose anything off the menu and you won't be disappointed. The red pepper-mozzarella terrine appetizer is super yummy and big enough for two (as are the entrees). Their specials are always awesome, and I would recommend ordering the pork tenderloin if it's on the board the night you visit. For dessert, skip the tiramisu and head straight to the cannoli or the ricotta cheesecake.... take it To Go if you're already over-stuffed from the generous portions of everything else. With a nice cup of coffee, the cannoli makes a pretty tasty breakfast the next day.
Pros: big portions, friendly staff
Cons: parking lot is valet only, and street parking is a pain in the butt

I love this place. I've never had a dish I didn't completely enjoy. Be sure to bring your own wine, they don't have a liquor license right now. The Rigatoni Norcina and Rigatoni Antonio are my favorite standbys. Also, I always order the spaghetti and meatballs with pink sauce when it's available on the special menu. Be sure to make a reservation though, the restaurant is small, and fills up fast! A+!! Trust me, this place is terrific!

We were headed to Psychobabble in Los Feliz later at night (around 9:45 or so on a weekday), and stopped at Il Capriccio to grab dinner first. Even though the restaurant was almost closed for the night, our server was excellent and accommodating. We split a rotini pasta in red sauce (with delicious mushrooms and eggplant), which was served promptly and brought to us already split on two separate plates (with no charge for splitting). And truly, a single serving was enough for both of us. The meal was at a perfect temperature, great flavor, and the vegetables were very fresh.
Also, we were served fresh bread with olive oil dipping sauce almost immediately after we ordered, and they replaced the basket for us with our dinner. The waiter was friendly and prompt with drink refills.
All in all, I highly recommend the restaurant. It was crowded late on a weekday night, so I'm not sure how easy it is to get a table on the weekend. The only con of the place was that some of their dishes take a little while to prepare, so that close to closing, there were several chicken plates that were no longer available. The pasta we ate was perfect, though, and we'll definitely be back again soon.
Pros: service very accommodating, great food
Cons: parking
