Welcome to Capriccio Italiano

The right amount of food was served, so you didn't walk out feeling totally stuffed and definitely value for money. We ordered garlic bread for entree, which was nice but would have liked to have little plates to eat them off. My friends ordered small pizzas which they said they enjoyed and had a cheesy pasta which had a nice thick sauce.

I found the service lacking. Our waiter was not very friendly, we weren't offered water when we got there and when we did ask for it, we were given the bottled water that was charged, with no choice (the table next to us were given a free carafe of water straight away).

looked family friendly but out dated.

For the price it is good value for money but needs to work on service as this could be a really good place to go and eat.

The food here was great! I went with a group of 22 for a work lunch and everyone was happy with their meals. I had the famous Chili mussels and loved them! I asked for them to be done medium heat as I'd read other reviews stating they do very hot mussels, they were still quite hot but wonderful! Other people ordered various pizzas, salads, soup and steak. Everyone was happy with the serving size and the taste! I couldn't fault the food at all.

The service was very good - it helped that I faxed through a list of attendees & their orders one day prior. The only issue was that one dish was missed - that's only one out of 22, not bad. It was quiet so we had staff to mostly ourselves.

Nothing special in the decor or layout. Fairly basic but servicible.

One thing I will warn you of; the menu on the website is 4 years old so some prices are out of date. Considering this, we were only around $8 short for 22 people!! So their prices haven't changed much in that time!

My partner and I went here on Sunday as we had a craving for chilli mussels. We had previously walked past Capriccio's sign claiming to do the best chilli mussels in the west, so we decided to put them to the test (excuse the dodgy rhyming).

The ambience and the service in this place is quite basic: they do enough to get by but by no means excel at either. The Italian muzak was cheesier than a pizza and the waiter's demeanour was sulkier than a kid who gets no gelato!

Anyways we ordered the extra large chilli mussels (and like other reviewers were not asked how hot we would like them) to share with fries with aioli.

Both dishes came out at the same time and were steaming hot. The mussels were some of the largest I have ever seen, and the portion size was adequate to feed two hungry people. The chilli sauce was thick and plentiful and very very hot (albeit tasty). If you do not like chilli then I would recommend the lemon and garlic alternative. We only had one unopened mussel in the entire dish, which was impressive as I have had bad experiences with this before in other places.

The fries were shoestring and not too oily and the aioli was the BEST I've ever had. It was really traditional and unlike the sub standard mayonnaise variants I have had elsewhere! Like the chilli sauce, it was very strong in flavour, so only order if you like your flavours robust.

All in all we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come here again when we next want chilli mussels; they certainly were the best I've had so far.

Service was terrible, waiter that understood and spoke very little english, it was almost funny! And don't forget to tell them how "hot" you want your chilli mussels!

Having been here twice previously for a meal before a movie at Paradiso, I thought the food and service was great. But going back on Sat night with a group of 10 people, it did not live up to it's previous standards.

Firstly, 3 of us ordered an extra large mussels to share together for entree, and we were not asked how we wanted it (e.g mild, medium, hot etc), and as we were a typical group chattering away, we didn't even think to ask ourselves (it's the waiter's job to ask us, I would have thought!) When the mussels came out, it was so friggin' hot, that we struggled to eat it, let alone enjoy it!. Garlic bread was tasty, and so was the "capriccio" pizza that one member of the group had.

For mains, the grilled "fish of the day" was overcooked, which was a shame, as you could see that it would have been a nice piece of snapper, except that it had become tough and dry in the cooking process. The scaloppini masala and tortellini carbonara got the thumbs up, but the risotto (both types available on the menu) go a very big thumbs down!! It was very salty and killed any flavour which was there. The garlic prawns were the cheap imported variety, which is cheeky considering the charge of $23.50 for 5-6 little prawns!

So, the moral of the story is: stick to the pasta and pizza, which is what we will do, if we ever go back.

This is our local Italian hangout. The food is always fresh and tastes great. We have had most dishes on the menu and cannot complain about any. The Chilli Mussels are superb- like the sign says the "Best in the West!" All the Pizzas are crisp and tasty. The pastas are home made for sure. This is the first restaurant that has the flavours we remembered from our trip to Italy. Authentic pizza & pasta sauces. And the Tiramisu is to die for. Again the best we've had. I have had a few functions at Capriccio and always get friends asking me...what was that restaurants name again?

You have to try it.

Go here for CHILLI MUSSELS! 5 stars.

It’s Saturday night, hungry for some Italian food, and there we were. There were several functions here tonight but we got a table without much waiting. The pasta and risotto here is good but the chilli mussels are one of the best in Perth.

Good food, friendly service, the food did took a while to come out but it surely worth the wait.
