Capriccio Osteria, Italian Dining the Way It Was Meant to Be

Michele Rispoli didn’t open Capriccio Osteria in 2015 to start something new. He opened it to continue something old, three generations of Italian hospitality, carried across oceans and planted right here on Norton Street. The belief behind it has never changed: cook with your whole heart, and people will always find their way to your table.
Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and a kitchen that holds Italian tradition close while feeling completely at home in the Inner West. This is what an authentic Italian restaurant looks like when it’s done right. Generous, genuine, and full of life.

Buon Appetito!

We had an outstanding meal at Capriccio Osteria in Leichhardt. The House-Made Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia was warm and fragrant, a simple start done very well. The Saffron Fettuccine with slow-cooked lamb ragu, green olive and pistachio was rich and beautifully balanced. The Roasted Chicken with ajo bianco, roasted pumpkin, salmoriglio and almonds was tender and full of flavour.

I went to this Italian restaurant with some friends and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything we ordered was spot on. The carpaccio as an entrée was easily the highlight, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The octopus was also incredible, tender, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. We also shared a couple of pizzas, and they were excellent, thin, crispy base with just the right amount of toppings.

Lovely food. Really liked the bread and Italian sausage pizza. The sausage is very chonky. Refreshing herbal dressing on the tomato salad really elevated the taste. Ink pasta is ok. Tasted better crab sauce nearby. Interior is way too dark. I need to see the colors of my food!

Had the pizza here 3 times the past month. Been fantastic each time considering it was takeout. Nice and fluffy wood fired pizza – perfect for the kids. Vodka pizza with the pepperoni is a little on the spicy side, but overall quite delish. Probably on the pricey side for takeaway, but worth it. Will have to go back and try the pasta.

Came here for dinner with some friends on Friday night. The restaurant was packed, so recommend to make a booking to avoid disappointment. Service was quick, but most importantly everything was tasty. The highlight of our feast were the Octopus with Nduja Butter, the Beef Carpaccio, Carbonara Pizza and Saffron Fettuccine. We will come back again for sure.

Capriccio Osteria delivered an amazing dining experience. The squid ink pasta was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, while the Amalfi pizza was outstanding with its light, crisp base and fresh toppings. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that feels both lively and cozy, making it a great place for a night out. To top it off, the staff were warm and friendly, adding to the overall welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian with excellent service

Delicious food and drinks, amazing pizza. Lovely live music. Had a few hiccups with our order and our hostess dealt with it so well, and discounted our meal without asking. That is what 5 star service is.
