| In a cosmopolitan, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country such as Singapore with a reputation for delightful and inventive cuisine, a restaurant has to have something a little different and better to make the Singapore fine dining list. This is exactly what Capricci has done with its delectable array of flavors that come out of attention to detail and using only the freshest and finest of ingredients.
|
| Under the ownership of Massimo Aquaro with his vast knowledge of food and wines and with experienced chef Pietro, Capricci has raised Italian cuisine to new heights. Following their philosophy that eating should be a hedonistic activity according to the whims of individual guests, Capricci (meaning 'caprices' in English), is just that.

The Capricci has taken over the previous space of the well-known Oso, in Tangong Pagar Road on the sunny shoreline and is easily accessed by the city center and Central business District of Singapore. The vibe and décor of the restaurant is one of classy sophistication. The antiques add a touch of finesse, while cocoon-like lights and maroon curtains exude a soothing and romantic vibe.
The different themed areas have different moods from the casual setting of the cocktail bar to the glass-walled wine cellar or the privacy of the VIP Red Room. Carefully selected mood music is in keeping with the atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant.
The menu is extensive with all the traditional favorites served with a fresh twist as well as many lesser known Italian dishes. The aromatic complimentary foccacia on arrival sets the tone for the stunning array of appetizers that includes a soufflé of parmesan and spinach and platters of cold cuts. The pastas are freshly handmade each day and are reflective of the standard in Italy. |
| Lamb cutlets with a lemon sauce made from lemons imported from Capri to enhance the flavors is not to be missed while prawns wrapped in crispy pork belly is an unusual addition to the menu. Lava cake with chocolate oozing out and Italian ice-creams, profiteroles and Chantilly custard make the choice of sweets a rather difficult one but too tempting to refuse. |
The wine list, like the menu is extensive and varied. From lusty house wines to superb vintage wines, the choice is endless. The full bar with exotic cocktails such as Mai Tai's and Lychee Martini's is also inspiring. The smartly dressed waiters are full of knowledge about the menu and are ready to advise diners on their food choices. The efficient and friendly service they provide is a great bonus.
For lovers of Italian food or lovers of any gourmet cuisine for that matter, Capricci guarantees a culinary experience that will take guests to new dining heights. The rustic authentic cuisine will take care of all whims and fancies providing the delightful surprise factor that is hard to find today. |
