Il Capriccio is a refreshing, cozy but not cramped, family-run gem in the midst of hipster-victim central, Los Feliz.
Bread is yummy and served with herbed oil. Fried calamari easily serves 2 and was very good, but not great. Don't get the steak. I wanted medium-well, got mostly well-done, and the meat quality was Sizzler-esque. Sauteed spinach and roasted potatoes were excellent. Chicken Vesuvio is their signature and worth the wait. The lobster risotto special was very tasty. Chicken marsala and piccata are also good. They make fresh pasta daily.
Creme brulee is great. Strawberry swirl cheese/mousse cake has chunks of real strawberries and a layer of whipped cream and grated white chocolate. Yum.
Service was okay. The waitress was good at first, but we waited 20 minutes for our appetizer and continually asked for water refills.
Calamari was $8. Entrees averaged $10-13. Steak was $15.
Pros: reasonable prices, nice atmosphere, good food
Cons: service just okay, no prime beef
